OT: Alabama’s Darius Miles Charged With Murder

[Rocktheworld]

For any amateur lawyers out there, this appears to be a legit Alabama government website. Page 17 of the pdf lists exceptions to transporting a pistol.

It might actually look like that. It’s Alabama after all

Going to be the best player on the Alabama prison team.

How is Davis charged with murder and Miller provides the gun immediately before the shooting and no charges. Did Davis and Miles both fire the gun?

 

[husky429]

If the world is a just place, Oats will be fired and banned from coaching, Miles and Miller both see substantial jail time and not a cent from playing basketball. I doubt it happens.

No excuse for this from Oats--none.

Every minute that goes by without Alabama suspending Oats and Miller says a lot about their priorities.

Upon further review it sounds like Miles asked Miller to bring Miles' gun and then Davis grabbed it from the car and pulled the trigger.

 

[Hi-Low]

I tried to read up on it and the answer appears to be “Alabama.”

I think they said that they do not have any kind of charge that would pertain to bringing a gun to a murder.

I mean…wow?

Does U of Alabama allow students to have guns on campus...even more wow. I assume Miller lives on campus so the gun had to be stored on campus. Can students just carriy guns around in holster's to calss & practice.

Oats...Miller in wrong spot and wrong time...huh? He brought the gun, where did Miller think he was bringing the gun a pillow fight?

Miller needs to be gone and Oats needs to man up or resign....of course neither will happen.

This is crazy, up here Miller would prolly get more time than the shooter because they would hit him with conspiracy on top of the murder charge

 

[Rocktheworld]

ESPN.com headline only calls it a “shooting”

I think i might move to Alabama and start my own Uber with guns delivery service. Our slogan will be "We drop`em, you pop`em".

Correct. It also reads that the comments about the gun and it being loaded were between Miles and Davis. Miles told Davis where the gun was in Miller’s car. Miles’ mom is a cop too.

It’s the same there. There’s no evidence to support a conspiracy charge right now.

Depending on miles and miller’s prior conversation, if miller knew anything was goin down it’s over

Two vehicles - a Dodge Charger and a Dodge Challenger that belonged to Miles’ teammates, Miller and Bradley - were blocking the road where the Jeep was parked.

Miles and Davis walked to Miller’s car and got something - believed to be the gun - out of the back seat. Culpepper said Miles had texted Miller saying, “I need my joint,” which is slang for a gun, police said.

Moments later, Culpepper testified, Davis approached the victims’ car and said, “I told you I was going to get you,’' and then began firing through the driver’s side window of the Jeep.

He fired at least eight shots, some of them while running in an arc from the driver’s side around the back of the vehicle.

It was then, the detective said, that Miller’s Charger was struck by two bullets.

Culpepper said some of what happened was captured on dash cam from Miller’s vehicle.

So Miller and Bradley were blocking the road with their cars, stayed and watched a murder where the murder weapon was transported to the scene by them? What am I missing? How is this not a crime?

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I’m baffled/shocked nothing has happened with this!

It’s Alabama

Damage control. When Nate Oats shows you who he is, believe him.

All these comments about this being an Alabama thing are silly. Violent crime, gun crimes, and people getting away with victimizing others is a problem all around the country. Where I live we have strict gun laws compared to most of the country yet we often don't charge this stuff, we often don't even charge the shooters in shootings.

The University needs to do what's right, I expect they will.

That's not what happened with the laptop. It's what PC fans say happened, but it's not what happened.

Actually although AJ was probably less culpable because he was a young freshman and Williams was his roommate idle and an upper class men . His sentence was more severe because he lied to authorities. Williams was smart enough not to . Neither one stole the laptops , but the perpetrator an alleged friend of Williams left them in their room . Im not sure whether it was proven that
they were knew they were stolen but I I believe the had to. I also believe everything was returned . Williams got a semester and AJ a year suspension. Probably appropriate.
Remember we played a bunch of games with freshman Craig Austry as are only PG . we somehow went undefeated until the @ Marquette in January were Williams still wasn’t a factor but we could have lost 3-4 games and a number 1 seed. Williams wasn’t much of a factor in in limited time in the Jan 7 LSU win
Craig continued to start through the Cincinnati game but Williams saw more time . We played Alabama, Arkansas, Gonzaga , Marquette and LSU and Cinncy with Craig starting .

What a dumbazz for not destroying his dash cam

What a dumbazz for not destroying his dash cam

Really? That’s your take on the murder of a young girl?

 

[AZHuskiePop]

You could easily make a case that those suspensions cost us a NC.
Austry was a great kid and a decent fill in but much no AJ and that team needed another PG , similar to 2011 . We’re Bazz got Kemba of the ball to rest .
Also the disconnect caused by Williams suspension prevented team development something that became apparent as we got to the final 8 without playing a decent game . Just ob pure talent overwhelming people .

 

[AZHuskiePop]

It also it was a gun incident at UConn that sealed Perno’s demise if I recall . Dom was an alumni plus a local guy and popular with state HS coaches.
It wasn’t that easy dumping him and predictions that UConn would never get an another CT kid abounded .

Not sure if you’re an Alabama student you want a few guys who were accomplices to murder roaming around campus.
