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

[Ziggiy]

There’s a MUCH needed conversation regarding gun laws and gun culture taking place in here that I hadn’t even really thought about.

From the beginning of this, in the days after the police arrived at his house and the screaming nightmare began, it did not sit well with Heard that Alabama’s basketball coach would call former NFL player Ray Lewis for advice before reaching out and offering condolences to Jamea’s mother. Lewis, of course, was famously involved in a murder investigation in 2000, and testified as a witness against two of his friends.

“It just made everything clear because we could not comprehend why he would reach out to Ray Lewis,” Heard said. “I’m not trying to rehash the situation with Ray Lewis, but I’m old enough to remember, and now it makes sense.

“He has time to call Ray Lewis, but he doesn’t have time to call Jamea’s mother.”

Alabama's coach didn't reach out to the victim's family but called Ray Lewis for advice.

If you have a problem with gun laws in this country then that's a totally different argument.

Yeahh between the comments a couple of days ago, which he did try to clean up, and this, Oats doesn’t look good in this.

What should he be suspended for?

For being either stupid, careless, or evil enough to bring the murder weapon to a murder when it was clearly a bad fukking situation.

Honestly, I think the team should have pulled themselves out of at least the next few games after 1/3 of their team was just involved in a murder that two team members were culpable in committing. When there's a tragedy involving team members, teams often choose to take a break for a few games, but when there's a horrible tragedy caused by multiple team members I guess it's ROLL TIDE!

You're wasting your time breh. @Rhakim
These brehs are way too biased.

Sports team standom between silly jokes and such is so insane to me. People will defend their team/college to the ends of the earth.

Ya'll realize that shyt is just a game right

You're right.

Now that it's been established that most of their narratives were lies (claiming he didn't know the gun was in the car, claiming he never saw the text asking to bring the gun, claiming he didn't drive there with the intention of bringing the gun, claiming he wasn't at the scene when the shooting occurred), no one with an ounce of self-respect is going to be acting like them.

 

[Harry B]

You guys keep saying this dumb shyt, but you can't come up with ONE detail about the case that I've made up, while I can list half-a-dozen false claims his defenders have already put into this thread.

I can't imagine choosing to define my identify by a college sports team, especially fukking Alabama, but taking your sports standom beyond the sport to shyt like this is beyond embarassing.





Once again, this makes no sense. Schools have suspended and even kicked out students for all sorts of shyt that wasn't a criminal offense. You can be kicked out of the school for sexual assault whether or not anyone files charges. You can be kicked out of school for fighting even if the police never bring a case. You can be kicked out of school for stealing whether or not the police get involved. But capital murder is the ONLY crime for which you can have involvement, and yet the school should do nothing unless the police do it first?

Please read the Code of Conduct student-athletes have to sign. There is NO requirement that something has to be illegal in order to result in discipline. You can be kicked off the team solely for posting something on social media they don't like. You can be kicked off the team solely for representing the university poorly.




(This is Alabama-Huntsville's code of conduct. Alabama-Tuscaloosa's is likely similar but I can't find if they've posted it online.)

You are refusing to hear what I’m saying and just replying to partial parts of my comments. Waste of time

 

[Young Scrap]

If this was a white girl that got murdered, anybody with a brain knows this would have went down completely different.

 

[Guile]

the way miller was playing..dude seems to not care and probably thinks he's blameless, not sure i want him as a teammate

 

[Dwight Howard]

Even if Brandon knew a gun was in the car taking a gun to someone isn't illegal no matter what happens IF you have no reason to believe it would be used in a commission of a crime. But even then, it wasnt his gun so prosecution would have to reach.That's it, and that's why he isn't charged.

 

[GoldenGlove]

If miles would’ve taken his shoe out of his bag and beat someone to death do y’all think Miller should be charged?

You just made up your own set of facts to paint this as a drive bye and Miller was the getaway driver

That’s not what happened

I'm not going to front like I know all the intricate details about this case. What I do know is that people get charged with accessory to murder for simply driving someone to a location that they end up killing someone at.

It happened to my cousin. His homie was talking crazy, said he would hurt somebody if they saw them. Cuzo drove him to the spot where the victim was... Long story short, he did time because of that.

Miller's lawyer is either the GOAT or the system out there is incompetent. My non-expert opinion telling me that there seems enough here for him to get hit with an accessory charge at least.



but y'all got it

What source is that? The actual link. The AL article says:

Miles contacted Miller and asked him to bring his gun to where they were, according to police. The gun belonged to Miles.


When Miller got to the scene, Miles told Davis, “The heat is in the hat.” Det. Branden Culpepper said that meant a gun was present.

Miles added, “There’s one in the head.” That, Culpepper said, meant a round was in the chamber.

Darius Miles asked Brandon Miller to bring gun used to kill Jamea Jonae Harris, police testify

Miller, an Alabama basketball player, was not charged. Tuscaloosa chief deputy D.A. Paula Whitley said, “There’s nothing we could charge him with."

www.al.com

The source is hyperlinked in the post and this is another hyperlink from sports illustrated that says the same thing

Police testified that Miles texted Miller asking for a gun, to which Miller replied, “The heat is in the hat.” Later, police say Miller added that “there’s one in the head,” signaling that the gun was loaded. Miller was not charged in the killing

 

[Left.A1]

Yeah you don't know that.

Guns are aplenty in Alabama.

We do know that becuse that’s what actually happened

 

[Left.A1]

If miles would’ve taken his shoe out of his bag and beat someone to death do y’all think Miller should be charged?

Boy these nutty ass sports “fanatics” are sick in the brain comparing a fukking shoe to a loaded firearm

 

[bigde09]

He didn’t bring the weapon

This why I hate u nikkas, u will type all this and still be wrong

Phone GPS records show he was bout to pick up his teammate and was already on the way when Miles sent the text

Y’all in here wilding, acting like u care about this woman when y’all jus wanna see a young man in trouble

How do you come to this conclusion? Would you feel this way if this kid couldn’t ball?

 

[Apprentice]

How do you come to this conclusion? Would you feel this way if this kid couldn’t ball?

None of us would care either way if hoops wasn’t involved in this story, nice try

Again, if y’all cared y’all wouldn’t be in here misrepresenting information to fit a narrative yall sum cornballs frfr
