The report also states that his vehicle was one of the two vehicles used to block the street that the victim's car was parked on, allowing the gunmen to approach the vehicle. Coupled with the fact that he delivered the gun to the gunmen, it certainly doesn't seem like a "wrong place wrong time" type of situation.

If your friend called you from a club at 1:00am and asked you to bring him his rifle and give it to him outside the club, would you?
If Miller was a second string guy averaging 5 ppg, he'd probably have been off the team same time Miles was.
Maybe for protection? Its a fair point, but there could be reasons for it. I think what really matters is figuring out what Miller actually knew.
I'm just pointing out a possibility.
I'm just saying that if Miller knew what he wanted the gun for, then he should be charged with a crime and suspended. If he could legally carry the gun and his friend could legally carry the gun and he didn't know what it was going to be used for, then I don't think he really committed any crime.
Yeah, he is directly involved and should have been charged as an accessory to murder. I have a feeling I know why he wasn't.
Depends. What if the message went like this?
"Hey man, when you come pick me up from the club and drop me off at my girlfriend's house, could you bring my hunting rifle so I don't have to go back home this weekend to grab it?"
If I was already planning to go there, I would probably take it.
this is worse than chris beards deal, imo
girl was murdered.
kid should be charged and off the team
oats basically said 'wrong place, wrong time' lolll wut

Nate Oats about to go from next Kentucky coach to next Dave Bliss
"Also it's a handgun not a hunting rifle and oh by the way could you also barricade her car for me after you deliver the gun? That'd be swell."
You're giving a drunk guy a gun to take to his girlfriend's place? That's also not the wisest decision.
The fact that Oats has been admonishing schools (Missouri here) about students heckling the players about it, saying,
"If people want to be ignorant and say things that are completely out of line ... this isn't a case where somebody got in some light trouble," Oats said Friday. "These are serious matters. There is a 5-year-old that doesn't have a mother anymore. This is not, to me, something students should be joking about. If somebody does happen to say something, I told our guys 'You've got to be strong enough, tough enough, to just say we're here to play basketball.'"
Meanwhile, he knew (or at least likely knew) full well what the actual facts were is incredibly ****** and damning. I'd be flat out irate if I were an Alabama fan at this point, and would have been weeks ago. This reeks of a desire to be 'good' at basketball and allowing an accomplice to a murder to continue to play on your basketball team. Sick. The NCAA should throw the hammer down on Alabama if their Athletic Department won't have the guts to do it themselves.

Can you point me to the article that references the specific text messages?
This does seem shady as hell. The police have more information than we do. I think its less likely that there are shady cops trying to cover things up and more likely that they don't know intent, but I could be wrong, certainly.
It's ok to admit you had no idea what they alleged happened and just sit this one out.
Again, even if it doesn't amount to criminal liability the act of providing a murderer with a murder weapon should at least get you some time on the bench. But hey, important stuff like a national championship is on the line so whatever, right?
Darius Miles asked Brandon Miller to bring gun used to kill Jamea Jonae Harris, police testify
Miller, an Alabama basketball player, was not charged. Tuscaloosa chief deputy D.A. Paula Whitley said, “There’s nothing we could charge him with."
Sorry it wasn't text it was dialogue when they arrived.
