"While we are not surprised by the indictment based on the reality that a person accused of a crime is not allowed to present any evidence to a grand jury, we are nonetheless disappointed that the government presented this case to the grand jury as capital murder considering the evidence uncovered during our investigation and the obvious weaknesses in the government’s case brought to light during the preliminary hearing," Miles' attorney, Mary Turner, said in a statement.

Officials said it appeared the shooting was the result of an argument between the suspects and the victim.
It has since been revealed that the gun legally belonged to Miles, who left it in the backseat of current Bama player Brandon Miller's car.
