And your opinion is as relevant as anyone's.
If I knew what I was doing.
Folks need to cool their jets with both reporting and wild conjecture by fans and armchair experts. This isn’t a college kid getting clipped for DUI or swiping crab legs - this is murder. No law enforcement officer or district attorney is going to sweep things under a rug no matter how big a star is. If Miller was guilty of anything, he would have been picked up, charged, and had a hearing. None of that happened. This is nothing but optics at this point.
First off, legally speaking, he did not commit a crime. Unless they had reason to believe he knew what the gun was going to be used for. Since his testimony and other witness testimonies matched, the text messages did not implicate him, and the police investigated and found no evidence. I think it's likely that he effed up.
I also think it can be true that AL.com is misrepresenting the conversation in the text messages and doing their best to make this into a bigger story than it truly is. Which is why we only get their snippets of information about their exchange. I guess unless the court documents are released with text conversations we will never know what fully transpired.

Yep let this play out with the real facts. Then we can draw conclusions. It certainly looks bad as it is being reported but my gut tells me not everything has been reported and if there was evidence if him committing a crime he would be in jail. All speculation lets wait on the facts.
They will not be the only ones doing it. All the talking heads will.
I did, but at the time of posting people were saying it was his. Changed it though, and yes, a stupid decision.
Sorry man, don't agree with you. Why on Earth would you randomly bring a loaded gun to The Strip that time of day at the request of a friend? From a court perspective you're right, hard to prove that, but in the court of common sense, Miller deep down knew it wasn't just to show his friend a cool gun he had. Also, if a friend called me in trouble, I'm coming loaded and calling the cops, or I'm asking why on Earth he'd call me to bring him a loaded gun.
Gah lee, even dumber if he didn't seriously know. Who the hell grabs any gun and not immediately check to see if it's loaded. My grandmomma always told me growing up there's no such thing as an unloaded gun.
The reporting by Carol Robinson was misleading... She now says that Miles grabbed it from Miller's car and passed it on to Davis.
I think this is getting out of hand...

Exactly.
I have no idea if he knew what was going to ultimately happen or not, but it is completely plausible that he thought Miles was using it for protection only... It was known at that time (according to the defense) that the victims were armed (turns out they were with at least 1 gun), and Miles and his friend were not (yet). Miller also had a dash cam that was recording, and unlike Miles, cooperated with the investigation from the jump. Again. no idea what he thought the intent was, and it was a dumb decision to do what he did either way, but his actions don't exactly peg the arrow towards criminal conspiracy.
I completely agree with this. Some of that can soften when the facts come out but..... If this were a player for another team we would be all over it especially if it were a Barner player.
The tragedy continues to be that a person is dead and the family members have to live with that. Never need to lose site of that regardless.
SEC! It just means more. That’s what y’all say!
Forgive the Finebaum link, it goes against my own personal policy. I’ve seen nothing more than this clip, but I think it’s worthy of sharing in the thread. I know there were come comments earlier about Carol Robinson, but she does good work. One of only 1 or 2 people under the Al.com banner that I’d say that about.
Well no, I don't think he knew a girl would die, but he knew a bullet could fly. Otherwise, why bring the gun if you don't know what could happen. Gonna bring a baseball to play basketball with? So why bring a gun to a confrontation? Why associate no matter what the hell is going on when you're a Top 5 pick with that $20M waiting. Call Coach Oats and have him de-ecscalate.
