The attorney's statement was allowed to be released by the DA.
Well, that doesn't sound right unless there's a gag order in place from the judge. I'm no lawyer but I don't think the DA has that kind of power to approve what statements defense attorneys can make.

Appreciate the honesty. You've been mostly cordial in your replies by tRant standards.

trying to get the dashcam
I saw somebody else claim that Miller had dashcam video. That would be wild if true. I don't recall seeing anything about that in ESPN's report.
I do recall in ESPN's report seeing that the video they watched showed Davis walking right up to the driver's side of Harris' vehicle. They couldn't say for sure who shot first. Like Han and Guido. But gonna be hard for Davis to argue self-defense when he walked right up looking for a confrontation, came packing and allegedly already knew that Harris's boyfriend was also packing. None of that has anything to do with Brandon Miller, mind you, just saying it's easy to see why Davis was indicted.
From what I've gathered, both Davis and Harris's boyfriend continued to escalate until the final confrontation when Davis walked right up to the driver's side. I don't see how either side has much of a claim of self defense.

Brandon didn’t know the context of the exchange cause he wasn’t there. The attorney stops short of clearing Brandon by saying he was unaware Miles left a fire arm in his vehicle. He also never claims Brandon didn’t read the text and didn’t know Miles wanted his fire arm. Ask yourself why. I can know a pistol is in my back seat without seeing it or touching it.

The authorities are silent.
I reached out to the Tuscaloosa’s District Attorney’s office to find out if anyone could figure out whether Miller ever attempted to seek help or render aid via a 911 call.
District attorney Hays Webb said he couldn’t comment on a “pending” case, and the violent crime unit within the Tuscaloosa Police Department claimed it would no longer be appropriate to discuss Miller now that the case was in court.

When I reached out to his attorney for a statement, I was informed he wasn’t authorized to speak further about the case outside of his initial release.
quote:
In an effort to get to the bottom of Miller’s actions in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, I attempted to get the body camera footage and any interview tapes that might exist. I was told over the phone that likely wasn’t going to happen. Shortly after that, my request was formally denied.
Multiple messages sent to Alabama officials about what Miller did after the shooting also went unanswered.
That means nobody within the criminal justice system, at the University of Alabama or Miller’s own attorney’s will answer an incredibly simple answer: Did Miller ever attempt to seek help AFTER the shooting happened?

Shortly after that ESPN got to see the video and do their article.
So it's pretty obvious not only the lawyers, but the authorities are controlling what goes out.

Thanks, obviously I'm going to give my university and Miller the benefit of the doubt considering.
But as I said early on in one of my first posts about this, I blame the media for their disgusting behavior.
More than I blame ranters for their reactions to it.
