Oats took the exoneration of Miller several steps further, declaring that his involvement was nothing more than being in the “wrong spot at the wrong time.” That statement is an insult to everyone’s intelligence, if indeed Oats understood what had been said Tuesday in court.

I despise Forde but he's right about this. Miles texted Miller, "I need my joint a n****r rl jus got fakin", which translated means that another african american gentleman is acting tough so I need my gun to put him in his place. Miller knew exactly why they wanted the gun and that it was probably going to be pointed at somebody. And somebody was murdered because of it.

Whether Miller is charged or not, Oats should have booted his arse from the team when he learned about the text.

The guy is not Miller's property; it is Miles. Miles asked for his gun back sending a text seemingly in a bad situation.

Miller gives him his property (gun) he requested back. This is why Miller isn't charged, because there is not illegal about giving someone back their propery/weapon when they claim to feel threatened.

After that point Miller has no involvement no matter how much people want to destroy someone else's life just for entertainment.

I see the positive spin talking points have been given out.

We know Miller didn’t know a whole lot about this situation. If there were texts of him acknowledging that he was bringing the gun for a murder he’d be arrested.



Are you serious right now? We know Miller brought a loaded weapon to a situation where someone was like "bring my gun, I may need it"

How the hell can anyone in their right mind, even while trolling, defend this behavior.

When was the last time someone said "go get my gun" to where they didn't have any thoughts that that gun may be used. Holy hell

I believe the DA can still bring charges against Miller. With all the media attention it might not be far fetched to see it happening in the future.

Nevertheless, it was a very dumb decision to bring the gun back at 2 am after that text exchange bordering on criminal and should be punishable by the university as Miller represents them. Charges or not, he absolutely was an accomplice to a murder by bringing that gun under those circumstances. If he doesnt bring the gun the girl is likely still alive.

Reauxl leaning on the DA not bringing charges shows he doesn’t know the job of a DA

The job is to win cases and get re-elected, not do the “right” thing

Miller knew why he was bringing the gun. It isn’t really debatable. But the DA already has slam dunk murder charges on other people and he can not charge the star player in town as well and cause that stir

Easy call for the DA

That one text is plenty to show he knew the gun was about to be used for something nefarious

That seems ludicrous in a case like this.

It’s going to be MASSIVE.

You think the DA is ready for the entire country to realize during the trial that Miller was in on this yet received no charges?

Nonsense.

Was the gun legally owned? I haven’t seen anything on that. Which, seems like terrible reporting.

Define “in on it”?

It’s clear for anyone with any common sense Miller knew what the gun was being brought back for. That isn’t debatable based on the text

But legally speaking, he was returning someone else’s property.

It’s not hard from a legal perspective to not charge Miller.

But the court of law and court of common decency is far different

Do what now?. I see your edit. In on it meaning he knew he was bringing someone their gun in order to do a murder. Zero chance of self defense. He knew he was bringing someone their murder weapon.

He received this text.

There isn’t any debate on what Miller thought the gun would be used for

And for you to say a “a DA wouldn’t want negative attention”, the Louisiana DA let off Bama players on easy drug and weapons charges because “they were working hard outside in the AC”

And he got roasted in the national media. He didn’t care. His donations and small town election are all that matters

this is indeed obvious to anyone with common sense, but man you are forgetting a major pertinent fact. Brandon Miller is good at basketball and the Tide need him for a Final 4 run.
