Randall Miller cleared of manslaughter conviction in Georgia

Randall Miller, the director of the movie "Midnight Rider," has been cleared of a manslaughter conviction after finishing his probation. He was convicted for his role in an accident that resulted in the death of camerawoman Sarah Jones in 2014. Jones died while filming when she and other crew members were setting up on a train bridge without the proper permits. Miller was sentenced to ten years in prison after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter and trespassing. He served one year in prison, then was released on probation. Under a Georgia law, first-time offenders can be exonerated after completing specific requirements. With his record now cleared, Miller expressed gratitude for this new beginning and confirmed he is planning a new film project that received $1.5 million in tax incentives from California. In memory of his daughter, Richard Jones, Sarah’s father, started a non-profit organization called Safety for Sarah. The group aims to promote safety for film crews while working.
