Darius Miles Capital Murder Trial Set for 2025

Former Alabama basketball player Darius Miles will stand trial for capital murder beginning December 1, 2025, nearly two years after his arrest for allegedly providing the gun used in the fatal shooting of Jamea Harris near the University of Alabama campus. The shooting occurred during a confrontation involving Harris's boyfriend, Cedric Johnson. Miles's childhood friend, Michael Davis, was previously convicted of firing the fatal shot and is serving life without parole. The death penalty is off the table for Miles, but he faces life imprisonment without parole if convicted. Prosecutors have offered Miles a plea deal, with an August 15 deadline to accept. Former teammate and NBA player Brandon Miller testified in Davis’s trial, though it is unclear if he will be called for Miles’s trial.
