AP News. Why has he not been charged?

It is also facing intense scrutiny over three players’ alleged involvement in the deadly shooting of Jamea Harris near campus early on Jan. 15. One-time reserve forward Darius Miles and another man are charged with capital murder.


National media asking the question.

Shockingly, the answer to your question is right there in the article that you linked:

It’s been two days since Alabama has learned of the text message sent to Miller requesting the gun and indicating it could be used. Why do we still not know whether Miller read that message before delivering the gun? Alabama has not commented on whether it has even inquired into this important question before declaring Miller “ok to play.”

And also giving a very clear and coherent answer as to why he hasn't been charged.

Did you read it?

A mother was murdered in Alabama's campus which involved Alabama basketball players. Stop acting like it's not a big deal.

t I didn’t have the details from the hearing that morning since I was coming straight from practice,” Oats said. “I used a poor choice of words making it appear like I wasn’t taking this tragedy seriously, which we have throughout the course of it. I sincerely apologize for that.”


So, Oats according to him did not have the details on the hearing of the incident. Since he allegedly heard it before his presser, why has he not disciplined the 2 players that were found to be much more involved?

Don’t answer, we all know why! Wrong place…wrong time.

That's not what he said. He said he didn't have the details from the hearing, which implies he wasn't sure what was said, so he gave a generic response like any coach would do when former players are charged with murder.

So he didn't help facilitate a murder by blocking the boyfriend cars?

How about Jaden Bradley

And why haven't we heard much about him?

quote:

WHAT HAPPENED?

Miles, who was swiftly dismissed from the team, and Michael Davis face capital murder charges for the shooting death of 23-year-old Harris. Tuscaloosa Police investigator Brandon Culpepper testified Tuesday that Miles texted Miller to bring him his gun and that Miles did so. Bradley was also at the scene, police said, and Miller’s and Bradley’s cars blocked the one Harris was in.


IE: police investigator said

"wrong place at the wrong time" is a generic response to a murder?

But…but, Miller told him everything.

I am willing to bet the Bama did not think Miller involvement would ever get out, and it did.

My question and y’all should answer, if Oats supposedly knew what went down, why has there not been any punishment for being involved with the incident?

Because it is an ongoing murder investigation and you are not part of the court system or a lawyer involved in the case. There won't be much more information given to the public until the grand jury rules on the murder charges

They probably did but they are not going to provide any information that could screwup the grand jury's investigation.

hypothetical.........


In Alabama.....


me and a buddy head out for the evening. We stop at a gas station to grab some beer. I am driving. He goes in and robs the place. He shoots and kills the cashier. I didn't know he even had a gun on him. I find it hard to believe that I wouldn't at least be charged as an accessory.

Also, keep in mind he hasn't been charged yet. In theory, they could charge Miller later.

What will look very sketchy is if Miller is allowed to play, Bama finishes its season out in the NCAA tournament with Miller, and then Miller is subsequently charged. Even if there are good reasons for doing so, that's going to look really bad.

As has been said ad nauseam, it appears that the DA office does not have the evidence to meet the intent requirement of any crime. If they can’t satisfy the required elements of the crime, then they have no reason to charge the person.

That’s how the law works, like it or not. Even if you or I think his actions were wrong, according to the law no crime has been committed based on current evidence.

That’s is why the media is asking the questions.

WDE is right, how did Miles and Davis get back to the apartments. Did Miller drive them in his car after the murder? That’s seems involvement of the crime.

If he didn’t read the message prior to delivering the gun, his attorney should have said so in yesterday’s press release. The fact that he didn’t begs for the question to be asked.
