Bama’s AD slyly refuses to answer THE QUESTION twice in same interview

Alabama AD Greg Byrne spoke with Reece Davis and Pete Thamel on Wednesday soon after the release of Miller’s attorney’s statement. Before the interview began, Davis provided a serious misrepresentation of the situation.
Reece Davis: “Miller’s attorneys have released a statement in which they say Miller did not realize there was a gun in the car.”
No Reece, the statement did not say that. Not even close. Why did Reece lead off with such a serious misrepresentation in Miller and Alabama’s favor right before interviewing the Bama AD? Was it because Reece couldn’t read or is it because he’s a Bama grad?
Now on to the interview with Bama AD Greg Byrne.
Thamel: “So you’re saying he was simply going to pick him up and he was not going to deliver the gun?”
Byrne: “He was going to pick him up. Darius had been asking Brandon for over an hour to come pick him up.”
Yes, Byrne, we all know the story Miller was going to pick him up. Why avoid the part of the question that hasn’t been answered (the important part)? Did Miller know he was going to be delivering the gun to someone who had specifically requested the gun and indicated there was an altercation or potential altercation happening?
Davis: “Is it your assumption Brandon Miller did not read that text message before, and if so, why are you secure in that belief?”
Byrne: “I didn’t say that he didn’t read it before. What I said is that he had received text messages from Darius over the course of an hour to ask him to come pick him up.”
Again, Byrne didn’t answer the question. Byrne pretended Davis said something he didn’t say and dodged the question.
At this point, the most reasonable conclusion is that the silence on THE QUESTION from the DA, police, Miller’s attorney, and Byrne is that the silence is an admission by omission. If this is in fact the case, then:
1. Miller received a text message from Miles in the middle of the night requesting the gun and indicating there was an altercation or potential altercation.
2. Miller read the text and then delivered the gun.
3. Upon delivery, the gun was promptly used to kill an innocent woman.
4. The DA, the University of Alabama, the SEC, and the NCAA are sitting idly by while the man who supplied the gun that killed the innocent woman faces zero disciplinary action.

Could you have put this in one of the other 27 threads you’ve started on this subject?

Lots of effort put into this long winded melt

Have nothing to do with a criminal case so why do you bring them up?

So, ESPN has joined the cover-up.
This is infuriating.

You left out where he was then THE GETAWAY DRIVER and the GETAWAY vehicle got shot up.

The version of events promulgated by Alabama and Miller's attorney simply does not add up.

That's serious from either end of the barrel.
(etc: end - guns don't shoot out their side.)

No proof, but reading between the lines I would change your 4. To 4(a)… OR 4(b) LE needs Miller’s testimony about what was said in the car to be sure intent is established regarding Miles and Davis and therefore are willing to leggo all this accessory jazz.

This is a grade A melt OP. All because you're totally wrong and Brandon Miller did nothing wrong.

It is impossible to have University of Alabama zealots understand something when their whole identity, self-esteem and self-worth depend on them not understanding it. The Bama fanbase has always identified with a backward population that places winning in sports (particularly football) over esthetics or academic excellence.

We all know the answer to this

South Carolina kicks out 3 football players, 1 for having a gun and the other 2 for knowing about it, and no one was shot and the gun never used. Alabama has someone killed and then begs everyone to stop talking about it.

This is from Miller's lawyer's statement. How did Davis deduce from this that the statement says Miller did not realize there was a gun in the car?
Before Brandon arrived to pick up Mr. Miles, Mr. Miles and the individual with Ms. Harris apparently exchanged words. Without Brandon knowing any of this context, and as Brandon was already on the way to pick up Mr. Miles, Mr. Miles texted Brandon and asked him to bring him his firearm. Brandon subsequently arrived at the scene to pick up Mr. Miles. Brandon never got out of his vehicle or interacted with anyone in Ms. Harris' party. He was never involved in a verbal altercation with Cedric Johnson or Mr. Davis. Brandon never touched the gun, was not involved in its exchange to Mr. Davis in any way, and never knew that illegal activity involving the gun would occur.
From this statement, in fact, it's readily apparent that Miller knew the gun was in the car because it says Miller never left his car after arriving on the scene even as Miles gave Davis the gun in the back seat while telling Davis there was "one in the head."
So at the very least, Miller knew the gun was in the car during its exchange in the back seat because Miller was in the driver's seat and never got out. So even in the unlikely event that Miller did not read the text from Miles and did not know the gun was in his car before he arrived at the scene, he certainly knew it was in his car while the gun was being exchanged in the back seat in his presence.
At that moment, after the exchange, Miller still had the chance to do the right thing, ask them why they needed the gun, and when he found out, drive them far away from that scene while advising them to cool off and that deploying a gun in that situation could end badly for them. But Miller didn't do that right thing.
So maybe Miller didn't even ask them why the gun was needed. First mistake. (Unless his first mistake was knowingly bringing the gun to the scene, which his lawyer did not rule out.) And if he did ask, got the answer and did nothing, second mistake.
