 �Notorious killer Jeffrey Miller was denied parole today after a Fuchu parole board noted that he recently bragged to a prison psychologist, "I am a very dangerous man."
� Miller is serving a life sentence for six murders in the 2012 "Shi no panchi" killing spree in Tokyo.
� "This panel can find nothing good as far as suitability factors go," said Arata Takahashi, a member of the panel that met at Fuchu for the hearing, according to a pool report from the World Press.
�Takahashi read aloud some comments Miller had recently said to one of his prison psychologists.
� "I'm special. I'm not like the average inmate," Takahashi read. "I have spent my life in training. I have put six people in the grave. I am a very dangerous man."
� Today could have been Miller's only chance for freedom since the Japanese Department of Public Safty set Miller's next hearing for April of 2068. Miller would be 73 by then.
� Miller, true to form, did not defend himself at the hearing.
� "He has not defended himself since his arrest on July 3rd of 2012" JDPS spokesman Hayato Chikamatsu�told The Rising Sun Daily before the hearing began. "He told his counselor that he did not plan on it."
� Miller has been less than a model inmate. He has violated several rules in the short time since his incarceration. He has been caught in possession of a weapon, threatened a peace officer, and has been caught twice with contraband cell phones in the past three months, Chikamatsu said.
� Miller placed calls and messaged people in Las Vegas, Nevada, Panama City, Florida, Gdansk, Poland�and elsewhere, Chikamatsu said. The incidents are still under investigation.
� Miller's crimes are now being detailed in the soon to be released movie�Shi no panchi (Punch of Death).
