Everyone in this thread down to the biggest of Bama haters and justice seekers that want Brandon Miller suspended or more would be tickled pink if he were drafted by their favorite NBA team.
My favorite drafted a Bammer named Josh Primo. Turns out, he’s a scumbag too. Sorry, I’ll let the Spurs pass on Miller.

The attorney would also have the cell phone logs which would show that.
As would the DA who didn’t press charges.
Most likely bc y’all’s theory of events is WILDLY off the mark.

Correct

Well, that's what they do.

I think he's doing his job by filling in details not captured in evidence in order to achieve his desired outcome. Again, the stock job of a defense attorney.

You nailed his attorney's statement for sure. Maybe you can catch a piece of that REC retainer fund. I'm sure it's flush.

So ethically speaking,not legally, how should a person view Miller for opening and seeing that text and choosing to continue on to Miles?

Miller was asked to deliver a firearm to another individual via a text message which included aggressive words directed towards a 3rd party. Miller, having received the text which showed aggressive language towards a 3rd party, decided to deliver said handgun to the individual who expressed aggressive behavior towards a 3rd party, ultimately resulting in a murder.
Imagine a loved one being killed and thinking this Miller fellow deserves zero blame in the situation.
I know we as fans are irrational but this one is going in the hall of fame.

Johnson told Davis that his girlfriend was not interested and to move along. “It got a little elevated,’' the detective testified.
Culpepper said Davis said, “You don’t know who I am and what I do.’'
Miles and Davis walked away from the victim’s Jeep but later returned.
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.
Johnson, the victim’s boyfriend, returned fire, striking Davis in the shoulder.
Harris was struck in the left side of her face.
The victims drove to the Walk of Champions where they found a police officer and stopped. Harris was pronounced dead there.
Culpepper testified that shortly after the shooting, police received a 911 call from Miles.
He made the call from University Downs apartments and reported that his friend had been shot.
Miles told the dispatcher, and later police, that he was at the apartment when his friend - Davis - showed up with a gunshot wound.
Miles said he didn’t know where Davis was when he got shot or how it happened.
In later interviews, the detective said, Miles said he and his girlfriend picked Davis up downtown after he was shot.
Finally, Culpepper said, police told Miles that all of it was caught on surveillance video from the Houndstooth Bar and it was then he admitted to being there during the shooting.
Culpepper said some of what happened was captured on dash cam from Miller’s vehicle.
After learning that, he said, Miles admitted to contacting Miller to bring him his gun and said Davis had gotten the gun from Miller’s vehicle.
He also acknowledged moving his girlfriend out of the way before the shooting started.
Culpepper testified that Davis told investigators that he was drunk on Tito’s tequila and didn’t remember what happened.
Defense attorneys claimed that Miles and Davis could have been in fear.
They said they had seen a gun in the victims’ vehicle and noted that when they could have left the area before the shooting, they instead came back, turned off their vehicle lights and stopped.
combination lies a multitude of variables.
‘Heartbroken’ Darius Miles says he is innocent in death of Jamea Jonae Harris, lawyers say
The former University of Alabama basketball player is one of two charged in the killing of the 23-year-old mother.

Absolutely disgusting behavior. Sounds like he knew exactly what was about to go down and it wasn't about being in fear. Sickening. A woman was killed over all this BS.

Already on your way. 3 minutes away. Crazy night with narrow streets, people everywhere, and cars parked on one side of the street. I know for a fact I wouldn’t be on my phone.

If Brandon is at home, the gun is in his kitchen, and he brings it to Miles I say kick him off the team and arrest him.
Brandon was Uber driving basically. Picking up and dropping folks off. Going to restaurants instead of clubs. And was on his way to pick up Miles. If he’s 4 blocks away and doesn’t know there’s a gun in his back seat, I have no issue with him going to give that shite back after Miles asked.

even though it’s two in the morning and the people he is giving it to are likely drunk and angry with some third party outside of a bar?
Yeah man I just don’t agree, personally. I would think I acted negligently and had a culpable role in a tragedy if I did that and things went south like they did. I would feel as though “I should have known better” and should have used common sense.

Then you should know that there’s a slight chance someone working for the PD or DA’s office isn’t being honest.
Posted on 2/22/23 at 5:41 pm to Ross
Yeah I can only think of a couple situations where I’d go drop it off.
Being close and already on my way is a REALLY big starting factor in that. I figured that was the case already while everyone else screamed that Miller drove an hour with the gun in his hand and flipped it out the window to Davis while t boning the Jeep so they couldn’t move.

But I get the sense that Miller’s lawyer and the DA and everyone involved is acting the way they are because there is evidence that completely proves Miller is off the hook legally and mostly morally.
You think there’s a big conspiracy.
I’m excited to see who is correct.

Idk how that stuff works.
Maybe he can’t speak directly about Miller replying with “wtf man, I’m a block away. Get your fricking gun and leave me alone.”
It seemed to me the guy was simply cleaning up the couple narratives that y’all have run really hard with.
“Hey look, Miller didn’t block the jeep from leaving, guys. Stop it. In fact, Miller actually parked and the Jeep then came back around and parked behind him.”
Stuff like that.
You want him to lay out his entire defense without any charges?
He just said some real basic shite that clears some things.
