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.

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?

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’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 up.

If you look at era-adjusted points:

Gretzky: 2475 points in 1487 games (1.66 points per game)

McDavid: 923 points in 545 games (1.69 points per game)

Given that Gretzky's totals include some later-age years it isn't quite fair to say that McDavid is outpacing him, but the other commenter is correct that the records can't be compared straight up.

All of those guys dominated in the 90s, and that was when goalies in general improved considerably and the game was changing a lot.

Look at Gretzkys stats through the 90s. They fall off a cliff in comparison to the 80s. After 1990, he only had 2 seasons with more than 100 points. Still very good obviously, but pales in comparison to when he was putting up 200+ in the 80s. His numbers look much more comparable to numbers you'd see in today's game, in comparison to the ridiculous numbers in the 80s.

I think this thread is an example of how quickly ignorance can spread and knee jerk reactions can take precedent over objective facts . There’s a lot of people here ready to lock a kid up because of their emotional response towards a young guy that’s having success. Don’t be like these people. They’re also most likely not adults or barely adults that have much to learn

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.
