[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 936244, member: 2299"] It doesn't sound like he gave the gun to the killer. He brought the gun to the scene at the request of Miles and it was Miles who instructed Davis on where the gun was. Davis then went and retrieved it. Miles is being charged with providing the gun as it's reasonable to believe he should have known what Miles was going to do. I doubt that could extend to Miller. As far as blocking the victims car from leaving, I read that in one article but I also read that the boyfriend of the victim drove away and it made no mention having to ram the car so I'm not exactly clear on that aspect. As far as the bold goes, you would have to compare specifics. My guess is in the cases you are thinking of the "non-offenders" were actual participants in a separate crime which resulted in the death of someone and so were charged with felony murder. For instance if they were planning on robbing a store, but the person who went in killed the cashier, then the driver of the getaway car could be charged with felony murder. That doesn't really apply here since what Miller was doing likely doesn't meet the criteria needed to charge someone with felony murder. Probably the closest would be accessory before the fact but that would probably be hard for the charges to stick for since it was Davis and not Miles who did the shooting and the action Miller took was to bring Miles his gun. I believe one of the criteria for accessory is that the person being charged had to have the intent on helping the person who committed the crime. Since that was Davis and not Miles, and Miller brought Miles the gun, it probably would make it hard for that charge to stick. Especially since Miles has reportedly confessed to providing the gun to Davis. [/QUOTE]
