Birmingham, AL • Why wasn’t Brandon Miller charged? Legal experts say it comes down to intent •
Court testimony that Alabama’s freshman basketball standout Brandon Miller brought the gun used in the Tuscaloosa strip killing of a woman last month stunned the sports world and beyond, immediately raising the question as to why he, too, wasn’t charged in the crime.
Tuscaloosa police Detective Branden Culpepper testified in court on Tuesday that Miller brought the gun that was used in the shooting death of Jamea Jonae Harris. But the gun belonged to 21-year-old Darius Miles, Miller’s former teammate, according to the testimony. Miles and his longtime best friend, 20-year-old Michael “Buzz” Davis, are charged with capital murder. Police say Davis pulled the trigger. Legal experts told AL.com the decision whether or not to charge Miller comes down to knowledge and intent. |
