If Broome and CBM get healthier this week we will roll.

yep, 19 should've been a championship if we had even a mediocre qb. Best Auburn team since 04.

There's no badmouthing Gus or Harsin, just Auburn and Auburn fans. He's almost 24 years old and married and his parents are pathetic. I don't believe for a second that Auburn fans spit on him for melting down against UGA. And he didn't get treated any worse than every other failed qb. Pat Washington and Jason Campbell got it a lot worse than little Bo did. JC stuck it out and finally put it all together his last year.

Prayers your way.

So now we know that Miles was not waiting for a ride from Miller. He was waiting on the murder weapon in Bradley's car. He left there in his girlfriend's vehicle. So he had 2 rides there. Miller went there to deliver the murder weapon just like we all knew. Accessory to murder.

article from the Montgomery Advertiser..Pamela Woods, Nathaniel's sister, said her brother was at the wrong place at the wrong time. He was arguing with the officers about an alleged warrant for his arrest when Spencer appeared and fired a gun, she said.
Poor guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time just like good kid Brandon. Too bad for him he can't help Alabama win a game though.

Nathaniel Woods never pulled the trigger, but the accomplice law sent him to death row

By all accounts Nathaniel Woods held no guns and fired no shots the night three Birmingham police officers were killed in 2004, but he was there and thus complicit, according to the state.

His presence at that Ensley apartment is what is sending him to the execution chamber Thursday night, unless a higher authority intervenes. The state's accomplice law is what allowed for Woods to be charged in the first place.

Woods was convicted of capital murder in the shooting deaths of officers Carlos Owen, Harley Chisholm and Charles Bennett in June 2004.

What is the Alabama accomplice law?

FILE - In this Oct. 10, 2005, file photo, Nathaniel Woods watches as the jury enters the courtroom during his murder trial in Birmingham, Ala.
Under Alabama law, code 13A-2-23, a person is legally accountable for the behavior of another person if he or she "procures, induces or causes such other person to commit the offense."

A person can also be charged under the law if he or she aids or abets another person in committing a crime or fails to prevent a crime while having the ability to do so.

Most states have some form of the accomplice law. The law can be used for any crime, though it most often is heard of in instances of fatal shootings.

What the Supreme Court says about the law

The Supreme Court has weighed in on these laws, setting two standards by which states tend to subscribe to in the case of fatal shootings.

Some states require proof of an accomplice's intent to kill, also known at the Enmund Standard, set in 1982 when the Supreme Court ruled Earl Enmund, a getaway driver in a fatal robbery, could not be sentenced to death because he "did not kill, attempt to kill, or intend that a killing take place."

Eight states, including Alabama, only require an element of "reckless disregard for human life," known as the Tison standard. In 1987, the Supreme Court upheld the death penalty for two brothers whose father escaped from prison then killed a family whose car they took. The brothers were present at the time of the slaying. Both the father and a third brother were killed in the manhunt for them.

The court acknowledged that neither brother intended for the family to be killed but they played a “major” role in the prison break and carjacking. If the defendant displayed “reckless disregard for human life” in the course of a felony, the court said, then the death penalty was proportionate even when there was not a clear intent to kill.

In fatal shootings, 27 states allow people who were "non-triggermen" to be executed, according to the ACLU.

There is also a federal statute that allows accomplices to be charged in federal crimes.

The accomplice law in use

In Woods' case, prosecutors successfully argued he "conspired" with the shooter, Kerry Spencer, in killing the officers and was therefore equally culpable in their deaths. Spencer last month told the news outlet The Appeal that Woods was not involved and there "was no plan to kill the police."

Prosecutors have not presented any evidence to show that Woods held or fired a gun during the incident.

Pamela Woods, Nathaniel's sister, said her brother was at the wrong place at the wrong time. He was arguing with the officers about an alleged warrant for his arrest when Spencer appeared and fired a gun, she said.

According to court documents, Spencer admitted that he opened fire in a "knee-jerk reaction" when he saw one of the officers holding a gun. Spencer was also convicted and sentenced to death in the killings. His execution date has not yet been set.

Woods' lawyers allege he received negligent legal advice at the time of his trial, when he rejected a plea deal after his trial counsel failed to explain the accomplice law.

In 2015, the accomplice law was used to charge four teens when another was shot and killed by police during a foot pursuit following a burglary in Millbrook and an exchange of gunfire.

Three Faulkner University football players in 2016 were indicted on murder charges after a fourth player was killed during a home invasion they all participated in.

Last June, three Montgomery men were charged with murder after two went to a home for a drug transaction that turned deadly. During the transaction two men tried to rob the other two and got into an exchange of gunfire, killing one. The three remaining men were charged.

Anybody else would be sitting in jail right now except Brandon Killer in Tuscaloosa.

When AU went to the final 4. Something they have never done.

For sure but they will wait until he is in his new home city because of the corruption in Tuscaloosa.
