An immunity hearing for former Alabama basketball player Darius Miles, who was indicted for capital murder in the January shooting death of Jamea Jonae Harris, was held in a Tuscaloosa County courtroom on Friday.

The defense rested after being unable to locate witnesses Jack Thompson and Cedric Johnson, who it had hoped to have testify.

Thompson was served a subpoena to appear, but Johnson, who was Harris’ boyfriend and allegedly a key part of the altercation that led to her death, could not be located to serve.

Judge Daniel Pruet, of the Tuscaloosa Circuit Court, said he will issue an order soon.

“I don’t know what soon means,” Pruet said. “But soon.”

The defense asked to be allowed to file a brief summarizing the information and evidence presented. Pruet granted the request.

Miles, who was accused of providing his gun to Michael Davis who allegedly used it to kill Harris during a shootout with Johnson, appeared in court on Friday, led in and out with shackles on his hands and feet.

Miles did not speak during the proceedings, instead sitting with his attorneys and occasionally sipping a bottle of Dasani water.

Prosecutors called no witnesses to the stand. The defense started out with Daniel Hill, a senior crime analyst at the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s office.

Hill testified that he had downloaded the contents of former Alabama player Brandon Miller’s cell phone after the incident.

Hill read aloud a text message that prosecutors.

Hill said the text proved Miles had texted Miller to ask the latter to bring the former’s gun to the scene after an initial encounter between Miles’ and Harris’ groups on the Strip in Tuscaloosa.

The defense was attempting to prove Miles had reason to be fearful after encountering Johnson’s party, and played video that attorneys said showed Johnson with his hand on his hip, insinuating Johnson was carrying a gun.

Defense attorneys showed videos that depicted Miles as immediately reaching for his phone after the initial encounter, and noted that he had sent the text to Miller that requested his gun, trying to show Miles had been scared by the meeting.

Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office investigator Jeffrey Miller was the final witness to take the stand, after the defense called Matt Wilsie of the University of Alabama’s police department, but he was immediately dismissed after an objection by the state.

Jeffrey Miller, who interviewed Miles for what he said was six hours after the shooting, said Miles never mentioned to him that he had been fearful after the initial confrontation with Harris, Johnson and company.

Jeffrey Miller also claimed that while Miles told him he had seen a gun passed to Johnson, he never said he thought Johnson was carrying said gun around or was fearful.

According to Jeffrey Miller, it was difficult to get a straight answer from Miles during the interview.

“It was all over the place and ever time you talked to him, it was a different answer,” Jeffrey Miller said.

Friday’s hearing was a continuation of one that began in August. The hearing was delayed due to scheduling issues and witness problems on Aug. 22 after two days in the courtroom.

Miles and his legal team are seeking immunity from prosecution on the grounds of self defense. The state of Alabama allows a judge to grant such a request.

During the August hearing, proceedings were delayed due to an inability to track down witnesses.

Miles has been jailed without bail since January and was indicted for capital murder by a grand jury in March. Investigators have said that the gun used to kill Harris was Miles’ and he provided it to Michael Davis.

Davis, a friend of Miles, has sought youthful offender status, a request that was denied by a judge in July. Miles was denied bond in May by Pruet.

The state filed a notice in August that it will not be seeking the death penalty in Miles’ case. The range of punishment would go up to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
