It's very difficult for me to believe that Miles is a BAD guy. But, it's easy for me to believe that he would be stupid enough to get himself into a really bad situation like this.


That’s pretty accurate. Crime by association or accessory. Unless there is some video of Miles actively combating his friend’s decision and trying to stop him, he’s doing time.

I didn’t deal with homicide but I was in the DEA for a time.

What crime was Miles in the process of committing when his friend fired shots?


In the video above, the policeman says the capital murder charge stems from "shooting into a car." So not while committing another crime here, just shooting into a car, and he probably meant occupied car.

Shooting into an occupied vehicle is a felony, thus the escalation to capital murder. He doesn’t have to fire the gun to be charged, he’ll get same charge as the shooter, at least until pleas start happening.

Now I'm really curious. I knew about a case in the delta where a group of kids were out breaking into hunting camps and something similar to what you described happened but I live in Elmore county and don't remember a case like this one in our area.

If you have a link to a news story, I'd like to read up on it.

But he does have to know that they are driving to do something bad right? If Miles pulled up next to the other group and his buddy went off the fricking rails on his own accord, I don't think Miles can be convicted of murder

The spirit of the felony murder doctrine is to stick the getaway driver with the killing that his buddy did at the bank

If Miles provided the gun as stated below, he’s fricked. That’s going to get capital murder or murder 1 at the lowest.

He’s gonna have to roll on his friend. Darius seems like the kind of person gullible enough to pass someone a weapon

Is provided and owned the same thing ? If he gave it to him to shoot … yea. But does just ownership warrant CM?

What is there to roll on? They already know his friend fired the shot. They are both fricked, and the more that comes out about this, they both absolutely should be.

Yep... not clear

If "the other guys said..."give me the gun" and Darius did then DM really is up the creek.

Hoping the altercation was as spontaneous as possible and not carryover from a party that everyone was at

Wondering the same. What if the guy took Miles gun without his knowledge?

He’s going to have to say he had no knowledge the guy was going to shoot and the guy just grabbed the gun. Who knows what really happened. Just sad that one person is dead and two others have possibly thrown their lives away for no reason.

LINK ]Darius Miles did not shoot Jamea Jonae Harris, admitted providing gun that did, records state (AL.com)
quote:

“Darius Miles admitted to providing Michael Davis with the handgun immediately prior to the shooting,” the charging sheet states.

The charge sheet for Miles said he, “intentionally caused the death of Jamea Harris by aiding and abetting by providing a firearm to Michael Davis who shot Jamea Harris” while Harris was in the passenger seat of a Jeep.

I can’t believe he’d admit to that unless he panicked well before any lawyers had gotten to talk to him.

Before the first of the yr, you needed a conceal carry permit to have a handgun in your vehicle. The law changed Jan 1st 2023 so now you don’t

I really don’t know what happened before or what lead up to the shooting. Did the victim go to Tuscaloosa looking for him?

Did the companion of the victim drive up beside Miles and his buddy and pulled out his weapon and started firing?

If Miles was driving did he do everything possible to get away if the victim’s companion started firing?

There’s a lot of variables that could have happened that started this whole tragic story.

But I know this, I would never ever give someone a handgun I owned to draw down on anyone in a situation like that. The law is pretty clear as far as having your handgun in your vehicle or any vehicle if the weapon belongs to you.

Yeah he should have lawyered up immediately instead of speaking. Because if their was nobody else in the vehicle he could have just claimed Davis grabbed it out of the center console and started shooting and they would have no way to prove him wrong
