re: Darius Miles

In Alabama you can be charged with murder for many things. A friend’s nephew was with a group of kids who were committing minor vandalism and someone came upon them, fired a warning shot into some bushes to stop them. The problem was, there was a kid in the bushes who was killed. The nephew was charged with murder 2d degree and did time because they were in the act of committing a crime. The man who shot the girl was not charged.

This would only be similar to the Miles situation if Miles was actually in the process of committing a crime. He could have been, but right now we don't know that for sure.
