He could have. But again, my understanding is that because he gave someone a gun, who then gave it to someone else to kill someone, that the accessory charge won't fly.  The police said there was nothing they could charge him with.

I'm hoping we get another explanation as to why they couldn't charge him. Seems crazy to me a guy can send a text to Miller saying "I need my joint a n****r rl jus got fakin" and then Miller uses his car to deliver the murder weapon to the scene of the crime. I understand Miles didn't pull the trigger, but he's getting charged with murder, so why can't Miller be charged with accessory?

This story is spreading like wild fire. There's not a chance he plays for Alabama again.

I'll bet he plays tomorrow night at South Carolina. Or maybe that's the right time to serve a 1 game suspension.

I’m sure the chants of “murderer” and the fat heads of Guns in the stands will go over well for his mental stability

“Wrong place, wrong time” is one of the all time big PR fails.

Especially at such a big athletic institution like Alabama where I’m sure they’re media trained weekly. How can you let that one pass?

It really puts it into perspective that we are all just one unlucky break from assisting in a murder.

How in the world has the most punitive justice system in the world managed to not make accessory to accessory to murder a crime yet?

[pbiflyer]

Shame on you for making me laugh.

Wow, you laughed at that? Shame! And yeah, I did too, a bit too hard, maybe even out loud.

Thank god for the second amendment

There is so much stupidity in the case, including Miles, the son of a police officer, thinking he should do this or would get away with it.

But the Miller stupidity goes even further. What are you doing with a gun on campus?   Antioch, TN isn’t Brentwood but he didn’t grow up in Compton.  The opps aren’t gunning for you in Tuscaloosa. And while Miles was stapled to the end of the bench, Miller is a top 5 pick, how is someone not mitigating some of his risk?

[tower912]

Will students be afraid to attend college in Tuscaloosa?

What an absolutely idiotic statement regarding Miller by Nate Oats. Despicable.

Wow.  Incredibly stupid is correct.

[WhiteTrash]

Wow.  Incredibly stupid is correct.

Wow, too. Just heard him. Can't someone at Alabama tell him to just say "I can't comment on this"? He looked and sounded awful. Now I think he has something to hide. I'd guess other do to.

Thank god for the second amendment

Miller is the superstar, future NBA player.  He has all the big Bama donors working to get him the best representation possible.  The other guy was a guy glued to the bench, so he gets the public defender and takes all of the fall.

Some NBA team will take him early, but hey, if he fell to the Bucks in the 2nd round...wouldn't be mad.

[rocket surgeon]

A close second was consulting Ray Lewis on how to navigate the situation

   OJ might as well throw his hat in the ring too...still looking

Tony Kornheiser on PTI just said that St. Johns and Georgetown are looking at Rick Pitino.

[4everwarriors]

Oh, da dude wit alotta nuts, hey?

[tower912]

He is 70.  Are you willing to take on the baggage for 5 years? 

[pbiflyer]

You are questioning Georgetown complete lack of judgement?

[JWags85]

If you’re SJU, absolutely.  I hate to admit it but he’s a match made in heaven with SJU.

He’s not young, but Larranga is older and had an E8 last year into another good year this year.  Leonard Hamilton is 74.  Boeheim needs to retire but he had multiple S16s after 70.  And Pitino is a better coach than any of them, none of them won conference titles and made NCAAs at 5 different schools including FFs at 3.  And he’s still got chops, he took over a good Iona team and made them even better.  Iona has a better NET than Seton Hall despite playing in a TERRIBLE conference.

I don’t think he takes the GTown gig, but SJU he wouldn’t have to move.

Georgetown needs a builder, not a quick fixer.

St. John’s is the perfect spot

Badgers have to resort to bribing students with free tickets so that they will show up to tonight's game
