Man pleads no contest to killing 15-month-old boy in October
Note: An initial statement from the sheriff's office said Curtiss pleaded guilty to the charges. He pleaded no contest. The headline and story have been corrected to reflect this.
On the morning his trial was scheduled to begin, Ypsilanti Township resident Michael Curtiss accepted a similar plea deal he turned down last month and pleaded no contest to killing a 1-year-old boy.

Michael Curtiss
Curtiss, 34, pleaded no contest to second-degree murder and first-degree child abuse and will serve at least 30 years in prison, Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Geoffrey Fox said Monday. Curtiss’ trial in the case was scheduled to begin Monday morning, but Washtenaw County Trial Court Judge Donald Shelton accepted the plea offer before the trial began.
"It's an awful case," Washtenaw County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Steve Hiller said. "The little boy should still be alive and he isn't."
Curtiss is charged in the death of 1-year-old Chase Miller on Oct. 21. At 12:30 a.m. that day, deputies went to the 1100 block of Fall River Road in Ypsilanti Township for a report of a child possibly choking. When they arrived, they found Curtiss holding Chase Miller, who showed no signs of life.
Chase Miller
Chase was declared dead at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital after numerous attempts to revive him were not successful.
Curtiss was babysitting Chase that night, and testimony at a preliminary examination revealed he pushed the 15-month-old boy into a TV stand while high on heroin. Curtiss told police he lost his temper when the boy vomited on himself and admitting to abusing the child before the fatal shove, according to testimony at a preliminary exam.
Blunt force trauma to the head killed Chase, according to officials in the Washtenaw County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Curtiss appeared in court on March 26 after a one-week delay. The case had been delayed in order to allow Curtiss and his attorney, Washtenaw County First Assistant Public Defender Lorne Brown, time to consider the plea-deal offer.
However, Curtiss turned down the offer to plead guilty to second-degree murder and first-degree child abuse with a sentencing agreement of between 30 and 50 years. He said at the time he would take his chances at trial because the prison sentence was comparable to the maximum of life in prison he would have faced.
“It’s already a life sentence, the way I see it,” Curtiss said that day.
Brown declined to comment on the case when AnnArbor.com reached the public defender’s office Monday morning.
A plea of no contest shows the defendant in a case is not going to fight the charges. However, it is not an admission of guilt. For the purposes of sentencing, a no contest plea is treated the same as a guilty plea.
Both second-degree murder and first-degree child abuse carry a maximum punishment of life in prison. Curtiss is scheduled to be sentenced at 1:30 p.m. May 14, Fox said.
Curtiss remains lodged at the Washtenaw County Jail without bond.

Chase was murdered. That's a fact. The autopsy doesn't lie. I'm sorry for the son of the murderer, because he will have to live with the stigma brought upon him by his 'loving' father. Thankfully, he will at least get to live. He could have easily been a victim of the drug-induced violence. Curtiss damaged so many lives it is ridiculous. The fallout from his actions will not be known for years. I can't get over the thoughts of what that precious baby must have gone through during the last minutes of his brief life. How long did the abuse go on? I can only hope and pray that it was brief, but it doesn't look like it .

This is exactly what haunts me. Helpless little baby screaming, probably running back to him for comfort as that's what babies do and get hurt more. I thought long and hard on this and wish Curtiss the same horror he brought to that baby every day of his life. He is a father, so he should know how precious that baby is to his father. I am so disturbed and will forever morn little Chase.

Some of the comments on this thread are a lot like the ones I read following an article about the severe facial and internal burns that were given to my foster nephew by his mother's boyfriend. Comments by family and friends of the boyfriend saying that what the boyfriend did wasn't that bad, the newspaper article was wrong, that he is such a good, loving, caring man and could never do such a thing, etc. etc. Denial can be a strong mental state. It is also people in this kind of denial that help the cycle of abuse continue. There is no denying that he killed and abused this poor baby. In my opinion who would do what he did doesn't fit the definition of a "good person".

You people amaze me! I understand that "Maybe" he was a good person prior to drug use...I get it, but the fact here is he wasn't that night, and a poor defenseless baby had to endure his drug fueled rage! Are we forgetting Mr. Curtiss stated himself that Heroin made him angry!! And he did it anyway!! knowing he was caring for a baby, and dont tell me what a great Dad he was....instead thank god his son never meet his drug fueled rage!! I'm sure he has regret, but all the regret in the world will never bring that baby back. And for those that want to say he isnt guilty!?! It was an accident....to throw a 15 month old baby on to a bed with such force the child bounces off the bed and hits the wall? To then force a child into a safty seat with such force that it leaves marks on his inner thighs & penis? To then continue with rage so great that you shove his little head through a TV stand!? Sorry I must of missed the part that told of the accident. REALLY!?!?! The only defense Mr Curtiss has was he was on Drugs...Drugs that he knew from past experience made him angry and not himself, Drugs he chose to take anyway!! END OF STORY! I pray both sides of the family can begin to heal, but to come on here and act like 30 yrs is to much?? Let these same acts take place on your child/Grandchild and lets see how quick you are to say "Your honor please...30 yrs is just to long." YEAH RIGHT!!

I wouldn't so much say people are pointing the finger at the family.. I myself can't imagine the pain that both families are feeling and hope I never have to.. I'd say people are outraged because of people trying to defend him and call what he did an accident.. Did he intend for Chase to die,, No I don't believe so. Did he abuse him while in his care, yes or Chase would still be with his parents..

I agree with whoever said its a shame that some of this conversation is allowed. This is by far probably the most ignorant thread I've read on here AA.com! And though you may not be writing the commentary you are reviewing it. I've seen you close commentaries and I am curious as to why this one wasn't closed. I don't know if these are relatives defending this CHILD MURDERER but I think its deplorable that relatives of the deceased could be reading this. This is a public news source, not a personal blog. I'm very disappointed in the professional judgement used in this posting. And for the bleeding hearts saying he's sorry and it was an accident, blah, blah, blah. You should be ashamed to fix your mouth to utter those words. Many people caught doing wrong are "sorry", was he sorry while he was abusing the child? It was an accident because he only meant to beat him bu t not kill him right? Pathetic. And of course there is more to a story, there always is so shame on all parties involved. And for the record 30 years isn't life, he could potentially get out of prison as a senior citizen and then because he's a murderous felon who can't be employed will live off of government aid at the tax payers expense. Boy, big loss for him. If he is a heroin addict than a guaranteed 3 hots and a cot for 30 years sounds like a deal anyhow.

Life in Ypsi , you ask: "Who cares that it was an "accident"? The law does. Accidents do happen, and sometimes they are fatal. But if a man chooses to use drugs, then chooses to abuse a child trusted to him, and the child ends up dead, this is not an accident.

He killed a defenseless sweet boy who was probably scared out of his mind, not understanding why this devil was hurting him. That's the whole story, not why or how. Why the child was with him is another question, or why he agreed to "care" for a baby in the first place. But the end result is a sweet baby is gone violently. End of story.

You minimalize this like its nothing. "Don't judge him", that's what happens when you commit crimes and are put in the publics eye. Maybe he shouldn't kill children. How about that? And no one is being "Fake", people are upset that thsi happened to a child, they don't have to know the mother or the child or any other relatives.

Ok. So if he's not a murderer, and what happened is an "accident", why is he not fighting the charges? If it were me, I wouldn't plead anything but not guilty if I am an innocent man facing charges like that. Or is he such a nice guy that he's willing to spend the rest of his days locked up in prison, fearing for his life every time he steps out of his cell...Just because he's such a nice and upstanding member of the community? What exactly is it you think I'm wrong about? Facts are facts: He pled nolo contendere (no contest) which means he has chosen to not fight the charges against him, and this plea will be treated as an admission of guilt when he is sentenced. You don't have to like the law, but that's the way it works, like it or not. If he's going to enter a plea that he knows will be seen and looked at by the court as an admission of guilt, in my eyes that's as good as a confession. I don't know the guy personally, but I have a very, very difficult time believing that he offered up such a plea simply because he's just a nice guy and doesn't want to put the mother of little Chase Miller through a trial. You think what you will.

Heartbroken, I'll answer your question just as soon as you do mine. Were you there? If not, stop preaching about his innocence. The fact that he pled no contest is just as bad as him admitting guilt, and it will be treated as an admission of guilt come sentencing time. He is an admitted murderer, plain and simple, and no amount of preaching his innocence by you or anybody else will change that.
