Bizarre moment Larry Millete’s father’s ‘pacemaker’ shocks him while defending killer son at sentencing for Maya’s murder
Larry Millete’s father, Benito, appeared to experience repeated shocks during a court statement defending his son, who was being sentenced for murdering his wife, Maya. Deputies escorted Benito from the courtroom, and he was later taken to an ambulance; his condition was not known.
Millete was sentenced to 25 years to life after a jury found him guilty of first-degree murder in July, following about five hours of deliberation. Maya, a mother of three, disappeared in January 2021 and her body has not been found; evidence included journal entries describing alleged abuse and fear. The article notes that pacemakers do not deliver shocks, though implanted defibrillators can.
In short
- Benito Millete appeared to be shocked during his court statement.
- Deputies escorted him out, and he was taken to an ambulance.
- Larry Millete received 25 years to life for Maya’s murder.
Explained simply
Maya Millete disappeared from her home in California in January 2021. Her body has not been found, and she was a mother of three. Her husband, Larry Millete, was later tried for her murder.
A jury found Larry Millete guilty of first-degree murder. The case included journal entries in which Maya described alleged abuse and fear. The verdict and sentence carry particular weight for her family because her disappearance remains unresolved.
At sentencing, relatives and others may address the court before punishment is set. Benito Millete is Larry’s father; a pacemaker is different from an implanted defibrillator, which can deliver an electric shock.
