Testimonies Highlight Davis Capital Murder Trial

The capital murder trial of Michael Davis is underway in Tuscaloosa, focusing on the January 2023 shooting death of Jamea Harris near the Strip. Davis is accused of firing the fatal shots, while former Alabama basketball player Darius Miles is charged as an alleged accomplice. Brandon Miller, now an NBA player, testified that he unknowingly brought Miles’ gun at his request and was unaware of any shooting plans, with text messages between Miller and Miles about the gun presented in court. Jaden Bradley testified that he and Miles tried to deescalate the situation before shots were fired, but he did not see who fired the weapon. The defense asserts Davis acted in self-defense after Cedric Johnson, Harris' boyfriend, allegedly fired first—a claim Johnson denied on the stand. The trial features a 14-person jury, multiple former Alabama players as witnesses, and Davis faces a possible life sentence if convicted.
