It's a lot more to this story than what was previously told.
I could be wrong but I think the guy who was with Ms. Harris told some stuff that wasn't accurate.
Miles being a basketball player for Alabama was pretty much icing on the cake. (Just my opinion)
I hope the TRUTH comes out as much as possible.

And AL.com STILL has it as the leading story and it has been ever since it happened. Anything they can do to put a blackeye on Alabama and our basketball season. They are just drilling on it.

From the Tuscaloosa News
quote:
Michael Lynn Davis, the other individual arrested and charged with capital murder alongside Darius Miles, had a statement released on his behalf by his attorney, John Robbins. The attorney said Davis is "not the bad guy" in the shooting death of Jamea Jonae Harris on Sunday morning on The Strip in Tuscaloosa.
“My client and his parents are heartbroken at death of the young lady," read the statement Robbins shared with The Tuscaloosa News. "They send their deepest sympathies and sincere prayers to her family and friends. But my client is not the “bad guy” here. Once all the evidence comes out, the public will see and understand who really is the “bad guy” in this tragic situation and who put the events in motion that resulted in the death of Ms. Harris. We ask that everyone would please withhold judgment until all the facts come out and for the media to refrain from portraying Michael as the “bad guy.” Michael is a good person from a good family, and he intends to vigorously defend himself against theses charges." The Tuscaloosa News confirmed that Robbins is the attorney of record for Davis. On Wednesday, the Tuscaloosa law firm Turner Law Group was retained as Miles' counsel after a Birmingham firm released a statement on Miles' behalf earlier this week without his knowledge.
Court documents showed investigators believe Davis fired the shot that killed Harris while Miles supplied the firearm. Miles told police he provided the handgun to Davis.
Davis is not affiliated with UA. Miles was a junior on the Alabama basketball team but is no longer part of the team, according to UA Athletics.

More Tuscaloosa News
quote:
Attorneys for former Alabama basketball player Darius Miles have filed a motion for bond, and a preliminary hearing on Miles' case has been set for 10 a.m. on Feb. 7.
Miles is one of two people arrested on a charge of capital murder in a Sunday morning shooting death, along with Michael Lynn Davis, and both were jailed without bond. The preliminary hearing set for Feb. 7 is meant to determine whether there is probable cause to sustain the warrant for his arrest. The hearing will take place at the Tuscaloosa County Jail.
Also filed Thursday was a motion for bond. Among the reasons defense attorneys cited for requesting bond was that Miles has no prior criminal history.
It's possible that the bond motion, filed Thursday by Turner Law Group, will be heard on Feb. 7 as well.
Jamea Jonae Harris died early Sunday morning by a single gunshot wound, police said. According to warrants for the arrests of Miles and Davis, witnesses identified Davis as the shooter, and the police have surveillance video of the incident. The warrant for Miles' arrest indicates that he admitted to providing Davis with a handgun.

I'm hearing that the guy in the other car brandished his weapon.. Miles gave Davis his gun and the confrontation ensued . At that point, the driver of the other car shot first.
If thats the case, this whole affair could go in a completely different direction.

Anybody know what the calibers of the 2 pistols are?
With a pretty good recording, it's possible to tell the difference between a large and smaller caliber weapon, and without an eye witness, it's gonna be a pointing match. (pun intended

The story never added up to me honestly.
Hopefully there's evidence of that.

The news stories have said there are witnesses and video so the evidence will tell what really happened.
For what it's worth, I'd question any story claiming someone threatened with a gun responded by giving their gun to a third party.

From the beginning, what made the most sense to me is that one dude flashed his gun and the other side reacted with shots fired. However, if what you're saying is the case, and Miles told investigators that he handed him the gun to be used in self-defense, then him being charged using only selective parts of his own testimony against him while the other guys are not even mentioned as possible aggressors in the release of these charges is absolutely asinine. I have to think that isn't the case, but if it is then Miles would be well within his rights to sue the shite out of the state if he were to be cleared of all charges.

My first initial reaction when news broke was like so everybody just believing buddy who was with the young woman?
He shot and wounded one of them while driving? Jason Statham type dude
I rarely believe a person who tells the story first.

Joka I went her that guy’s facebook page. He’s a total thug with pictures of guns drugs and money on every picture. No way he’s gonna tell the truth about what he did that led to the shooting. I have a feeling this is gonna be big and a lot of people will owe Miles and Buzz some apologies.

Two girls in a car, being hit on by two guys.
Guys continue to keep hitting on girls.
They didn't realize there was another guy in the backseat, with the girls, the whole time.

I believe that as well.
Sad situation

Same. This story about the boyfriend politely asking them to leave, them responding with gunfire, and the boyfriend - based on the audio from that Ring video - instantly returning it never added up. That guy did or said something to escalate it from catcalling to a shootout. He may have just been running his mouth or he may have straight up pulled a gun on them and threatened them, but he didn't just ask them to leave.

I believe that the guy in the other car showed his gun and shot first as well. How would you know that you shot someone if you didn't shoot first. If somebody's shooting at me I wouldn't know if I had shot somebody because I'd be too busy high tailing it out of there. If somebody's shooting at you, you don't look back to see if you shot somebody if bullets are coming at you. They probably would've gotten the hell out of Tuscaloosa if Jamea(RIP) didn't get shot.

That's FACTS.
Exactly what I was thinking. Dude literally knew he shot someone but you driving and dodging bullets at the same time. That should of been a red flag there.

Joka and how was he in the backseat when the altercation started but during the shooting he was in the driver’s seat. I truly believe this was a case of someone getting to the cops first. Jamea’s boyfriend knows he didn’t politely ask them to leave.

There’s always 2 sides to a story, but if Miles and Buzz were approaching the car and tried to open the doors after being told to leave (even impolitely), then stand your ground laws may come into play even if the guy in the car shot first (not sure if Bama has that law for cars). Police had witnesses and some level of videotape and went with the capital murder charges. Think we have to let it play out before jumping to conclusions.
