The first blow from the shotgun stock sent the woman to the floor.
The 19-year-old woman, an employee at the Jet’s Pizza near Frandor, was struck eight more times in the face and head with the shotgun. She had been standing with her arms raised.
In surveillance video played Thursday at a preliminary hearing in 55th District Court, the hooded man wielding the shotgun also struck the woman’s older sister and fellow employee five times in the head and face. The man alternated between the two sisters, delivering a total of 14 blows.
Prosecutors say Terrence Lamont Miller was the attacker. Miller, 19, of Lansing, was ordered to stand trial on multiple charges including assault with intent to commit murder, armed robbery and conspiracy to commit armed robbery in the Nov. 6, 2013 incident. Judge Donald Allen, who found that there was enough evidence for a trial, ordered him held without bond at the Ingham County Jail.
Officials say the sisters, both Michigan State University students, cooperated during the robbery. The older sister, now 21, was on her knees in front of a safe placing money in a backpack when she was struck.
Her younger sister had been standing nearby.
Ingham County Assistant Prosecutor Jonathan Roth noted that both women were beaten until they were motionless.
Allen said it appeared the attacker gained leverage from his body and used both arms to deliver the blows.
“It does appear there was an intent to kill,” Allen said.
The younger sister suffered multiple broken bones in her face as well as head injuries, according to court documents.
She underwent several surgeries and was hospitalized for about two weeks.
The prosecution’s key witness was a 14-year-old boy who admitted participating in the robbery.
He identified Miller as the attacker.
The 14-year-old has pleaded guilty in juvenile court to armed robbery and a gun charge. That plea is contingent on his truthful testimony in the case. The State Journal is not identifying him because he is a minor.
Miller’s attorney, Paul Toman, declined to comment after the hearing, beyond saying that the prosecution’s case relied entirely on the 14-year-old’s testimony.
The 14-year-old said he and Miller were driven to the pizzeria by two other people.
They have not been charged. The robbery, he testified, was planned in advance.
He said he and Miller walked into the store with hoodies concealing most of their faces. They were wearing blue gloves.
The 14-year-old ordered a pizza, appeared to pay for it, and eventually pulled out the shotgun.
He forced the older sister to an upstairs office, where there was a safe. He testified Miller grabbed the shotgun, and said he didn’t know Miller was going to beat the women.
He was unable to say how much money the robbery netted.
“I honestly don’t remember,” he said, adding that he and Miller split it with the two people, a man and a woman, who he said had driven them to the pizzeria.
The man, he said, “gave us each a pile of money.”
