Alabama basketball player charged with murder- Update Projected lottery pick provided gun

[DonB90]

He didn't even know a gun was in the car

You know how goofy that sounds even without the text of bruh specifically telling him to bring it. As someone who stayed strapped with a pistol I ALWAYS knew if and exactly where that bytch was at in the car. If Bama had any decorum(or the girl they killed was white) they kick him off the team but fukk morality when we can make some extra coin amiright


Footnote: Young black men stop playing thug this is the end result its a great world out here. Both the two idiots charged for this girls murder were crying in court...And that was just at the hearing not even the real trial. No bond revoked btw their going to have to stay there til they get sentenced. Both these idiots come from middle class homes one of their moms is a police just goofy all the way around



Soft ass nikka..jit been crying since he been arrested

 

[VegetasHairline]

There's some legit psychopaths on this site. Just gonna defend Miller's actions because he plays basketball for their favorite school. Bu bu bu but he was just returning the gun to it's rightful owner. Bu bu bu but he dropped 40.

 

[In The Zone '98]

So it’s beyond plausible in your mind that something can be left in a persons car and they are unaware it was left there

Especially when Dash cam footage shows Miles grabbing the gun from the backseat

Fam, cmon.

These not some aww shucks teenagers.

Grown men with a legal gun in the car, they all knew about.

No lie, your logic embarrassing for an adult.

 

[Big Boss]

I mean like I said, at best the boys an idiot. Just off the strength of the year hes having in ball, he shouldve had SOME pause about bringing the gun and potential fukkery that could ensue.

At slightly worst, hes so apathetic about violence and conditioned to normalize violence that he literally didnt care if Miles dumped on someone

At absolute worst, hes a demon and craved to see some bloodshed.

None of these scenarios paint the picture of someone who is particularly innocent or worthy of being protected from accountability

I wouldn't want somebody else gun in my car

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Y’all in here misreporting facts to spread a narrative, hard to believe y’all really care

Name ONE fact I misreported.

So it’s beyond plausible in your mind that something can be left in a persons car and they are unaware it was left there

Why are you making up reasons to defend him? The lawyer statement I read doesn't say that Miller didn't know the gun was there. So far as i can tell y'all just invented that theory.

I think it's completely implausible that someone would text, "Bring me my joint" to someone who supposedly doesn't know where his joint is.

Miller’s account (through his Lawyer) is that he had no idea the gun was even in his car UNTIL he was texted to bring it back to him.

So far as I can tell, you've made up that detail. I'm not seeing it in the statement I read.

Why would Miles tell Miller to "Bring me my joint" if Miller didn't know where the joint was?

Also by the lawyer’s account the Gun was legally owned, so Miller isn’t exactly morally obligated to not return someone’s property.

If my friend is drunk off his ass and I'm holding the keys, I'm morally obligated not to hand those keys to him. fukk who owns the car, I'm not placing property bullshyt over someone's life. With a gun it's even worse.

It's not illegal because this is Alabama, USA, and gun owners/manufacturers have protected themselves from all responsibility.

IF Miller’s account is to be believed, he gave someone what they owned, immediately bounced and was going about his evening until the shots rang out a few minutes later.

"Miller’s windshield was struck twice by gunfire in the shooting, police testified."

Also, it's already been proven that Miles lied his ass off about what happened, and Miller didn't appeared to have reported either victim being shot even as one was dying, so I'm seeing little reason to believe anything they claim unless it's backed up.

You text me you left your gun in my car and you need it. I

The text didn't say, "I left my gun in your car." The text says, "Bring me my joint", as if he already knows where the gun is. Was there a second text reported somewhere?

There was dash cam footage and a police investigation. Miller is not charged with anything. So I don’t quite get what you’re accusing him off

The Dash cam shows that he on his way to the location prior the text being sent. Miles grabs the gun from the back seat and moment later a shootout occurs. That’s why Miller windshield was hit but His dash cam and other surveillance videos show all of this

What did Miles lie about?

 

[Professor Emeritus]

What did Miles lie about?

Miles told police that he didn't know about the shooting and wasn't even at the scene. He didn't fess up until they told him they had it on video.

I like how you're responding to my statements all out of context as if i didn't just prove that you juelzers have lied on multiple points. Either you know nothing about the details of the case or you're okay with folk lying about the details so long as it's in defense of the man who provided the gu.

Are you going to admit to making up the claim that Miller didn't know the gun was in his car?

Wtf

I didn’t make up anything. You have to prove that Miller know because there’s no evidence that shows that he did.

Miles was charged with murder that night

I wouldn't want somebody else gun in my car

Theres a difference between “bruh i left the heat in yo car “ vs. “get the strap brodie “

Wtf

The obvious fukking evidence is that Miles texted him saying "Bring me my joint."

How the fukk can he do that if he didn't already know where the gun is?

It's fukking sick. Those same two posters are on record defending Alabama through absolutely anything but this is beyond standom.

At least not everyone in Alabama feels that way:

Roy S. Johnson: Why is Alabama still playing with its blood-stained basketball?

Every dribble, every shot, every Alabama basketball victory from here on this season is tainted by a death that is not deeply embedded in the Tide locker-room.

www.al.com

We knew about that.

Those are Nate Oats’ words. His “unfortunate” words, by the Alabama basketball coach’s own description—though not descriptive enough.

Knew about what?

Knew freshman top dog Brandon Miller—according to law enforcement testimony regarding the tragic killing of young mother Jamea Harris early on a January Sunday morning—received a text from then-teammate Darius Miles saying: “I need my joint.” Meaning, I need my gun. The gun Tuscaloosa police say Michael “Buzz” Davis, Miles’ 20-year-old near-lifelong friend, used to kill Harris. Kill her because she was not interested in him, her boyfriend said, as per police. Kill her because the boyfriend told Davis to stop dancing in front of his car.

Knew another player, Jaden Bradley, was also there on that deadly night. In his own car, but there.

Knew Miles took the gun out of the back seat of Miller’s car, revealed also during a riveting and revelatory two hours of testimony by Det. Branden Culpepper on Tuesday, as reported by my colleague Carol Robinson.

Knew Miles allegedly told Davis, “The heat is in the hat.” Translation: The gun is here.

Knew Miles further said: “There’s one in the head.” Translation: A bullet’s in the chamber, making it an instrument of death.

Knew Miles, as Culpepper further testified, moved his own girlfriend out of the line of fire.

We knew about that.

“Can’t control everything everybody does outside of practice,” Oats said. “Nobody knew that was going to happen. College kids are out, Brandon hasn’t been in any type of trouble nor is he in any type of trouble in this case. Wrong spot at the wrong time.

Very unfortunate. Far worse than unfortunate. Unconscionable.

Neither Miller, nor Bradley, is yet charged with a crime.

Tuscaloosa attorney Jim Standridge wrote a statement to Tuscaloosa Patch that was confirmed by AL.com stating Miles asked Miller for a ride to the strip late that early Janury Saturday after Alabama’s Jwin over in LSU. Miles brought his “legal handgun”, the lawyer said, and left it in Miller’s vehicle. Miller “never saw the handgun or handled it,” according to the attorney, adding that he believed Miles concealed his gun under clothing in the back of Miller’s car.

“Brandon does not own a firearm and has never even handled a firearm,” the statement added. “Moreover, he had no knowledge of any intent to use any weapon.”

Here’s what I want to know:

Why is Alabama still playing basketball right now, with this tragic travesty far more embedded in the locker room than we knew? Now, dribbling a basketball stained with a young mother’s blood?

Why are Miller and Bradley playing basketball right now. Shamelessly playing—charged or not? As a family grieves?

What did athletic director Greg Byrne know? And when?

He shared it on the ESPN College Gameday podcast, hosted by Rece Davis and Pete Thamel. “It was ongoing from the get-go when the incident happened,” he said via the ESPN College Gameday podcast, hosted by Rece Davis and Pete Thamel. “It was conversation between myself, Nate Oats, conversation with myself and the president. We have legal counsel involved for the university. We have our different offices within the university that are at least aware of it. We had normal conversations like we do for other issues. That information was shared collectively and collectively we decided that Brandon was able to play.”

Ponder that image. All these men. These, yeah, white men. Collectively—Byrne’s word, remember—deciding what is best for... them? Them with the highest post-season basketball aspirations in decades?

For them and Miller? Them and a young Black man with NBA dreams that—as was collectively decided—should not be stifled or stymied by an early night in January when he transported a gun to a friend and then teammate? A gun used to kill a young Black mom?

We decided that Brandon was able to play.

Able, indeed. Should? No way in hell.

Even if just for a night. For a time. A time when a young man might learn accountbility—though that may too much to expect from the collective that deemed him able.

And deemed Oats able to coach. Coach a team that is now and henceforth this season dribbling a tainted ball—as a five-year-old Black boy cries for his mother.

You’re running with stuff reported by Fox News and ppl like Clay Travis. If that’s the side you want to be on then....

All the legal experts saying he shouldn't be charged.
A state school should follow not take another stance than the state law in a murder case unless there's some wild technicality imo.

These people are super pro-gun until some black person shots someone then everyone even close to the gun should get the needle.

What do they mean about learn accountability, change the laws if you don't want young drunk punks to handle guns, in a lawful way.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Hot dogs holler, Tuscaloosa DA already said Miller had minimal involvement so they can’t charge him wit anything

Y’all in here misreporting facts to spread a narrative, hard to believe y’all really care

Interesting take on this.

I guess the legal system is weird like that. Minimal involvement should mean nothing he did directly led to the crime happening. If he's the reason the shooter was able to even possess a gun, how is that minimal involvement? It's like when someone rides in a car with someone who's driving, they get out and go commit a crime. Most times, the driver is getting heat when those charges come down. Very interesting.

 

[CrimsonTider]

The obvious fukking evidence is that Miles texted him saying "Bring me my joint."

How the fukk can he do that if he didn't already know where the gun is?

So that text weighs more in your mind than dash cam footage showing that he was headed that way prior to the text and footage showing Miles reaching in the backseat for the gun

You’re clearly trying to make Miller an accomplice to murder when law has done an investigation and found he was not a suspect
