Yeah, let's completely disregard the friend's text stating his intentions.

His intentions were not stated other than he felt threatened and wanted the gun he left. Perfectly reasonable for Miller to think Miles wanted to ensure he had his gun back for self-protection.

Had they communicated that "we are about to ambush some dude that disrespected us", then Miller would be in jail.

That was not the case as testimony has shown.

His friend's text stated he was needing his gun because somebody's disrespecting him. He didn't say he was about to "murder" someone.

Words still have legal consequences; how about that? The NYT articles did more than just put this player at the scene of the crime, it implied complicity in this killing. For that rush to judgment, they should pay damages.

Just because you want it to be so, doesn't mean that it is.

Meanwhile, you are tilting at windmills.

The two directly related to the incident are in jail.

The reason Miller was not charged is evident and has nothing to do with his status as a BB player or potential final four run.

It would have been a weak case to prove his knowledge that a crime was going to be committed, and it would have weakened his testimony for the state if he were also being prosecuted by the state.

Get your own head out of the sand.

We can agree on this much.

Be honest:

Chizik is a better comparison for Oats.

Your PG is also your drug dealer
Your best player ever under Oats says he was probably the only person to not drink alcohol that season.
Thugs that are known to carry weapons have full locker room access.
A former player that was guilty AF is going to trial for aiding in murder.
Your coach assaulted a Missouri basketball player.

To be fair, I think a lot of people railed Sophie Cunningham.

Lucado is re-litigating this for the 300th time on the SEC Rant.

And they never get the established facts correct, it's simply the same regurgitated hearsay that some LSU fans have convinced themselves is real, based on inferences in the initial reporting that was rushed for clicks.

Which is why these news organizations are culpable.

This was the first time in over 50 years that the NYT had lost a defamation case.


And? Are you saying they saved it up for a big one? I mean calling out a kids name falsely and only admitting they were wrong when they were sued is pretty bad. I was under the impression newspapers were supposed to check their sources. Instead, they took the word of two people that obviously did not know what they were talking about.

One even said that it was a "white kid, but I can't remember his name" and they printed it. Sound journalism.

Why couldn't they have just written a retraction and apology? Or did they and it wasn't satisfactory?

Because I think they should get sued a lot more.
