This is insane, in the least he's an accomplice.
Britannica says,
accomplice, in law, a person who becomes equally guilty in the crime of another by knowingly and voluntarily aiding the other to commit the offense. An accomplice is either an accessory or an abettor. The accessory aids a criminal prior to the crime, whereas the abettor aids the offender during the crime itself.

All I know about criminal law I've learned on ID, but I've seen quite a few people charged with murder when they were just driving the car and didn't see the killing or even know their buddy was going to shoot somebody. Maybe it's just Alabama, but I'm pretty sure they've charged other black guys with crimes on weaker grounds.

"statute called “felony murder.” Most states have some version of a “felony murder” law in their criminal code.

Fwiw, if Brandon Miller legally possessed the gun there may not have been a primary felony that led to the murder. If so, either he's an accessory to murder or he isn't. I think he is.

That father and son duo of racist GA crackers, Travis and Greg McMichael, who killed Ahmaud Arbery, were convicted of murder as well as "malice murder" but I don't think the other guy, the neighbor (who filmed the encounter) got the malice murder charge. Can't remember. But apparently GA has this distinction. I suppose other states have the same thing but may call it something else.

Wouldn't you feel different if you realized that the guy with the camera had supplied the McMichaels with a loaded gun and then blocked Arbery's escape?

A crowd outside the Glynn County courthouse cheered at the guilty verdict by the jury.

All three men were found guilty of attempted kidnapping.
Travis McMichael was found guilty of using, carrying, brandishing, and firing a gun during a crime of violence.

... Sentencing
On August 8, 2022, Travis and Gregory McMichael were sentenced to second life terms for committing a federal hate crime. Travis received additional 10 years and his father Gregory seven years in addition to their life sentences. Bryan was sentenced to 35 years in prison.
Not very comparable to the AL accomplice skating entirely.

No, how I "feel" about it is irrelevant. They all three got life sentences, one of them with a chance for parole.
Charles Manson never killed anybody, but died in prison after being there for decades. During one of his parole hearings, he stated "I don't break laws; I make laws." And in spite of all that, he still died in prison.

Oh come on. I had to check first to see if Rothstein was a bammer grad.
The way I read it, after cutting out miller's excuses, has him as an accessory.
I think his smiling pat down for the game 2 days later perfectly describes his lack of concern over the murder of the young woman.
Yeah, that was disgusting.
If Miller is guilty maybe they'll get one of the 2 accused or other witnesses to roll over on him.
He had 20 points and 12 rebounds in today's 11-point victory over Missouri. Tourney MVP would be sadly ironic.
He's been off since the shooting. He was averaging 31. I think we held him to 17.
Nah, the murder was on 1/15, he's averaging 19.5 on the season, his best game was 41 points on 2/22 vs SC, you held him under 20 both times, and he scored 31 the day before the murder, 30 two days after. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-baske ... don-miller
Either there's nothing for his conscience to stress over or he has no conscience.
