Miley, 38, does not face criminal accusations, and this is not the first time that his name has been in touch with the death of Skaggs. During the phase of determining the sentence of the case of Kay, the prosecutors used a recording of a conversation between Kay and his mother, in which Kay said that Miley was one of the Skagg drug suppliers.
