Miles's lawyer:

"Darius Miles and his family are heartbroken tonight over the death of Jamea Jonae Harris," said the statement released by Miles' attorney William White, via Patch. "While Darius has been accused of being involved with this tragedy, he maintains his innocence and looks forward to his day in court. Our firm's own investigation is ongoing, and no further statement will be made at this time."

Praying it's true.

I would argue that you can count the team among the victims of this crime, not complicit with the perpetrator. None of the rest of our guys were in any way involved, yet now they will have to deal with this emotionally, when talking to the press, and you know the opposing fans are going to be brutal.

Miles was obviously a troubled individual who had been separate from the team for a large part of the season. He was not a contributor in any way to the success the team has had this year, yet they’re going to have to endure some pretty harsh scrutiny due to his actions.

So yes, it’s awful that it happened, but that’s not the fault of any of the people that have been playing their butts off for Alabama, which means I will continue to cheer as intensely as ever for those guys. Maybe even harder.

I want to forget Darius Miles ever existed. Let the Justice system sort that out and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law. He means less than nothing to me now and I’m not going to waste another minute on him.

I don't even know what to say, unreal. I can't stop thinking about it. Woke up during the night and the first thing that popped in my head repeatedly. So sad 100 different ways.

I saw that the other guy is indeed from Maryland so its true that Miles did bring him to Tuscaloosa with him, Miles is from Maryland too.

I would assume best case scenario for Miles would be;


1. The conflict was spontaneous and not premeditated and NOT initiated by Miles

2. Even though it was Miles' gun, his friend had been holding it for a while and was the shooter

3. The man that was with the victim shot first


For anyone in criminal law, what would that set of facts mean for Miles?

---

How did that guy driving the victim not get shot?

He obviously had a jock strap & cup on.

How did that guy driving the victim not get shot?

Because a lot of the POS willing to get into shootouts have stormtrooper aim. Which is terrifying

Look at how much better that lineup is than Kentuckys other lineups

It's wild that their worst lineup is the exact same as their best lineup, just with Livingston instead of Reeves.

So, the circumstances that brought the two groups together are gonna determine a lot.

And that's where Miles is potentially tied in. If there is a connection between the two groups, it wont be from the random friend from Maryland

And it would be a stretch to charge capital murder if the felony is just shooting into an occupied vehicle.

Shooting into an occupied vehicle is one of the 20 specific circumstances that qualify for a capital murder charge in Alabama.
