Overview

  • Jury selection will begin the week before the Dec. 1, 2025 trial in Tuscaloosa County Circuit Court.
  • Under Alabama law, prosecutors removed the death penalty option and allege Miles supplied the .40-caliber handgun used in the fatal shooting of Jamea Harris, making him eligible for a life-without-parole sentence.
  • Three pretrial motions over discovery and evidence production remain pending, with hearings to be set before the December trial.
  • Miles has been detained without bond at Tuscaloosa County Jail since his Jan. 15, 2023 arrest, which also led to his dismissal from Alabama’s basketball program.
  • He must decide by Aug. 15 whether to accept a plea offer identical to the one co-defendant Michael Davis rejected before being sentenced to life without parole and filing an appeal.
