Brandon Miller is currently one of the best players in college basketball. However, he is mostly being talked about for all of the wrong reasons. This is due to the murder case involving Jamea Harris. Harris was a 23-year-old mother who was shot and killed close to the Alabama campus. Overall, it is a heartbreaking situation that has some ties to the Crimson Tide. This is because the alleged shooter, Michael Davis, allegedly got the gun from Darius Miles. Miles was a player on the team before subsequently being expelled for his connection to the murder.
Miller is now being wrapped up in the case as police have accused him of initially providing Miles with the weapon in question. Although Miller has been named as an alleged connection to the case, he has not been charged with anything. In fact, Alabama is allowing him to continue his season. Moreover, he was recently named SEC Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year. Both of these designations have shocked fans who feel as though Miller should be removed from the team.
Brandon Miller Talks
Today, during a press conference, Miller actually broke his silence on the Jamea Harris murder case. Although Miller did not comment on the allegations against him, he did make sure to offer sympathy for Harris' family. For Miller, it is devastating and upsetting that someone lost their life. "I never lose sight of the fact that a family has lost one of their loved ones that night," Miller said. "This whole situation is just really heartbreaking. Respectfully, that's all I’m going to be able to say on that."
Clearly, the Crimson Tide do not want Miller saying too much about all of this. There is still a lot that needs to be figured out in this case, and for now, everyone's hands are tied. Not to mention, March Madness starts very soon, which makes all of this a lot more complicated. No matter what, our hearts go out to Harris' family at this time.
