A convicted killer will remain in prison after Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office recently overturned a parole board’s recommendation.
The family of 17-year-old Maxina Danner of San Francisco was shocked to learn last month that Royce Miller would soon walk free after 17 years in prison.

Danner was a student at San Francisco's Lincoln High School when she was killed in 2004. Her body was dumped in McLaren Park.
