re: Breaking: Brandon Miller’s attorney releases statement providing more details

Miller isn't on trial. Miles is. It is irrelevant to the detective whether or not Miller read the text or brought the gun because of the text. The text is only important for that hearing because it shows that one of the defendants wanted someone to bring them the gun before they later used it. It supports their charge, and since Miller isnt being charged the detective is likely not concerned with whether the gun showed up because of the text or not for the purposes of that hearing.

It certainly provides the criminal defense attorney’s narrative, but that alone isn’t sufficient to say the hurdle is cleared without some additional corroboration. He claims it’s clear in the videos, which will be played if this goes to trial. We will see.

I've stated Miller made a poor decision and acted out like a thug with gangbang mentality. I've pointed fingers at the UA Administration for the poor way they've handled the PR knowing this information would eventually go public. They had weeks to prepare statements and prep Oats to go public and they failed.

It's not up to me to determine Miller's guilt or innocence relative to his involvement in this unfortunate case. But damn I hoped like hell he & Bradley didn't plan a trap pinning the Jeep in order for a shootout to commence and ended up taking the life of an innocent woman.

According to a Tuscaloosa detective, he is also someone who received a text from Miles that night requesting that Miller drive over to The Strip, a collection of bars and restaurants, and bring Miles’ gun with him. Miller complied, according to AL.com reporting from the courthouse."

I’m not here writing in regards to Miller’s culpability. I will leave that to the resident tRant legal experts who have him in prison for life without even a charge against him. But as a journalism major and former reporter and editor for a daily newspaper, I can assure you that “according to AL.com reporting from the courthouse” doesn’t mean jack shite. I witness factual, style and grammar errors by those AL.com hacks every day, especially Robinson. She is one of the worst beat reporters I’ve ever seen.

This is a prosecutorial and police narrative in a preliminary hearing in an effort to get this case forwarded to a grand jury by the judge, which is almost always a slam dunk and exactly what happened. You act like these statements “AS REPORTED BY AL.COM” are in an actual trial in front of a jury and are irrefutable. Is it 100% accurate? Maybe. Maybe not. That’s for a judge and jury to decide.

Agreed. I think the video has to, at least, leave it open to multiple reasonable interpretations at worst.

A bit strange wording from the detective though.

quote:

---

So let me get this straight, there is likely video evidence of Miller's car being there before the Jeep and dumbfricks in here are still saying he blocked the Jeep?

---

Miller's attorney released a statement today that detailed the timeline and he stated that Miller was parked prior to the Jeep entering the scene. This evidence can be easily proven one way or the other. People have been lamenting for 2 days that Miller blocked the Jeep and intentionally pinned in the Jeep prior to shots fired.

I'm inclined to lean towards Miller's attorney's statement because IF it were a lie and false, that means Miller would've most definitely been arrested, booked and charged by now. The investigators have had a month to pour over the details, Miller has cooperated and provided multiple interviews and testimony to the authorities. He still hasn't been charged.

quote:

---

He was en route when he received that message.

---

Does his car not have brakes?

That's shocking. A defense attorney trying to spin PR in favor of his client.

---

The defense attorney can spin all he wants. Phone records have been available for 1 month, video footage, street cam footage and ballistics from the lethal weapon have been available. The defense attorney stated Miller never touched the gun (fingerprints would prove otherwise), it was stated Miles asked Miller to pick him up (text messages would prove otherwise), it was stated Miller's car was parked before the Jeep entered the scene, (camera footage would prove otherwise) therefore Miller did not intentionally pin the Jeep in place as many have claimed for 2 days.

While the defense attorney may be spinning this thing like a top to make Miller appear in a better light, IF any of the statements that were made are false then it would stand to reason that Miller would've been arrested, booked, and charged in the crime. Miller has not been charged.

quote:

---

Nothing in that statement eliminates any guilt from Miller, because they never mention anywhere that he did not read the text. If he hadn't, they would have said it. Fact is before arriving almost certainly knew that the reason he was called was to bring a weapon, which he did and led to the murder of a woman. That is accessory to murder, especially according to Alabama law, except for star Alabama athletes apparently.

Then who steps in to thwart the decision by the District Attorney who has not charged Miller? The Attorney General, our Memaw Governor Ivey? I'd like to know who needs step over the head of the DA and Judge to view the evidence that's been investigated for the last month.

You're going to get crickets on this one. "Muh I said so" and "trust me, bro, he's guilty" ain't going to cut it.
