All he has to say is he didn't know how it was going to be used. How could they possibly prove he intended for the gun to be used to kill someone?
February, huh? How many questions will that piece of garbage reporter ask our players about this?

Miles is accused of knowingly providing his legally owned handgun to Davis to be used in the commission of a violent crime.

In response, the Turner Law Group filed last week for a new bond hearing for Miles, along with setting a hearing date for the defense's motion to suppress statements Miles gave investigators before being read his Miranda rights on the morning of Jan. 15. This comes after the state said it would not seek the death penalty in the case.
Both hearings will now be held on Feb. 22, 2024.

He let his angry belligerently drunk friend that just got into a verbal altercation have it. That is wildly irresponsible gun ownership

They don't have to prove that he intended for the gun to kill someone.

(2) KNOWINGLY. A person acts knowingly with respect to conduct or to a circumstance described by a statute defining an offense when he is aware that his conduct is of that nature or that the circumstance exists.
However, even if they did have to prove "intent" it's not a get-out-of-jail-free card for him to say he didn't know it was going to be used to kill someone. Intent can be shown by the circumstances surrounding the act.
quote:
The presence of one at the commission of a felony by another is evidence to be considered in determining whether or not he was guilty of aiding and abetting; and it has also been held that presence, companionship, and conduct before and after the offense are circumstances from which one's participation in the criminal intent may be inferred.
