No friend of mine has ever asked to borrow a gun from me. That's not a request good people make and it's not a request good people oblige.

Edit: somehow moved my second comment to the first. My initial first response was saying that it was not Brandon’s gun nor did he initially know it was in his car.

I’m going to base my response on the lawyer statement and what we know as a fact. Regardless of what I say, this was a tragic event and someone died that night that shouldn’t.

  1. The car wasn’t blocked in. If it was, then after the shooting it wouldn’t have been able to drive away and alert the police to what had just occurred. This is what the victim said that happened.

  2. According to the attorney Brandon had already legally parked his car when the victims car came up behind Brandon’s vehicle.

  3. Brandon Miller’s car had a dashcam which recorded both inside and outside of his car. There was also security footage which corroborated Brandon’s story. (according to the attorney statement)

  4. According to the attorney statement, Brandon was already out DDing and was on his way to pick up Miles for the night before the gun was brought

What's the spin on Miller's car blocking the victims from leaving - after he knew that the gun was urgently wanted there?

I'm assuming the club had a metal detector / door security and that was the reason the gun was left behind initially. You don't believe Miller first learned of the presence of the gun in the car when he got that text, do you?

You'd agree that you'd drive differently and not worry about scratches or dents after your car had been shot full of holes and your passenger had her head blown off, right?

Sounds to me like the Jeep was trying to leave the conflict, was partially impeded by Miller's car, and with the clock ticking on an exit and gun finally back in his hands - it was now or never to shoot.

I mean I based my statement what has been released and you are going off nothing. We could all just wait till more is released.

Wait to determine what? The DA is not charging him. It is not acceptable at most universities for a representative to have knowingly brought the murder weapon to a murder.

Imagine this was a bench player. Imagine this was a GA or bench coach. Imagine Bama was having an also-ran season. What would be the disposition of status?

He was going to pick up his friend. The police have dashacam, security footage, and all of the texts. If Brandon knew the gun was going to be used or if it was his gun, (Assuming he knew it was in his back seat) then I imagine he would be charged with intent, but given it’s been a month and he hasn’t been charged then i imagine the police have cleared him.

Legality is not the threshold in most programs for consequences or determining if someone is an appropriate representative based on their actions.

Well if the defendants lawyer says so, it must be true 🥴

I’m going to base my response on the facts: He was asked to bring a gun to a place where his friend was. That friend shot someone with a gun at the place he was asked to bring the gun to. There is a dead person shot by his friend with a gun to corroborate this story.

If you are holding someone else's property, and they ask you to return that property, it is ridiculous to then hold you responsible for what they do with their own property thay you returned.

That's not what happened though. The gun belonged to his friend, who had left it in Miller's car, and who asked that he return it.

It's also unclear if Miller actually saw the text asking him to return it, or even aqare the gun had been left in his car, as he was already en route to pick up his friend when the text was sent.
