Prosecutors cited Miller’s past brain surgery in deciding not to pursue the case against Miller, who was arrested at La Guardia Airport after allegedly making a false call about a bomb threat on an Amtrak train. “The government makes this request based upon: (1) expert medical analyses and reports regarding the defendant’s prior brain surgery and its continued neurological impacts, which cast doubt upon the requisite legal element of ‘intent’ to commit the charged offense(of what turned out to be a false 911 call); and (2) the defendant having entered agreements both to make full financial restitution for the costs of the law enforcement response to the false 911 call,” prosecutors in the District of Connecticut wrote in the brief filing.
