Alabama star freshman Brandon Miller and another player were at the scene of a shooting that left a 23-year-old woman dead. The players' then-teammate Darius Miles was charged with capital murder along with another man.
"It doesn’t bother me," Miller said of the threats, which he forwards to university officials. "I send it to the right people and they handle it."The story is well known by many college basketball fans by now. Miller and fellow freshman Jaden Bradley were on the scene in the early-morning hours of Jan. 15 when a 23-year-old woman, Jamea Harris, was shot and killed. The players' then-teammate Darius Miles was charged with capital murder along with another man.
According to police testimony, Miller had brought Miles’s gun to the scene. Miller’s attorney said the Tide forward was on his way to pick Miles up when Miles texted asking him to bring the weapon. The attorney, Jim Standridge, said Miller never handled the gun and didn’t know any criminal activity was intended.
A New York Times spokeswoman told The Associated Press the newspaper stands by its reporting. Police in Tuscaloosa did not return an email sent Thursday by The AP seeking comment on the report. Miller and Bradley have not missed any playing time, a decision that has brought plenty of scrutiny on Oats and the Crimson Tide."If you guys saw some of what I’ve seen sent his way, I think you would understand why that’s the case," Oats said, referring to the security guard provided to Miller. "I don’t want to get into all that. The entire situation, as you know, is just a heartbreaking situation on all accounts.
