Michael Dunn has been convicted now if you don't remember his 47-year-old I got
into
a verbal argument with some black teenagers
he thought they were out playing their music a little too loud
so he unloaded his weapon into the car killing Jordan Davis
Jordan Davis was 17 years old and of course
on Sunday he would have been nineteen it was two years ago that this
murder happened now the conviction is not on murder
its interestingly on attempted murder in fact he got convicted of three counts of
attempted
second-degree murder and one count of firing into an occupied car while
would've been hard not to convict them on the counter firing into an occupied
car cuz that is
100 percent when he did any did get convicted
on man in that he faces 15 years on that charge the attempted murder is for the
three other kids the car who actually did not get shot somewhat miraculously
okay but this jury was split
on whether they should have charged him with murder on
Jordan Davis and a mistrial was declared
on the murder charge and they could be given him second degree murder they can
be given a manslaughter
but they couldn't come to any agreement on that now
like I said you get fifteen years for prying into an occupied car
of course is up to the judge in the sentencing hearing that'll come up in
our
in a little while and now you get up to 30 years
for each count on the attempted second-degree murder
as to why they didn't give 'em murder but the
added to give 'em attempted murder well there's some theories on that
so some think that the he might've been standing his ground with
Jordan Davis because he claimed that he saw a weapon there
but he could make that similar remove the three other people he clearly shot
at
luckily he messed right but that is attempted murder
environment ok are obviously am I didn't good the jury might even confuse
according to some experts
on that first-degree murder has to be premeditated
so he didn't go to that gas station
to kill those form kids he didn't know them before right now
but they're being confused if you fire into a car knowing that there there
it's still premeditated you didn't have to plan it out two days in advance
so we don't know if that's what they were confused about and of course
stand your ground instructions were given to the jury but let me in fact
explain that for you real quick here
in each case including there of course is Arman case and this case
jurors were told because as a course Florida sure judge jurors were told by
the judge is that they should acquit
it they found the defendant had no duty to retreat and had the right to stand
his ground
so the boser min him did not use any round before the trial started there's a
different here you could do
the say hey I stood my ground then use it in that case buses is
the law in Florida he gets read to the jury that he be standing his ground
it's okay so it's possible that that's what affected teachers as well
now of course that's if they believe that he actually thought there was a
weapon one
in can be in fact for Michael Dunn is that his own fiance testified
that he never told her about any weapon that he thought that they had
whether it was a goner lead pipe at night
anything no he never said anything about that at the time
when facing murder charges of course all your iPod I saw a weapon
arm now look the victim's mother
is relieved because at least gonna go to jail for a long time she says we're so
grateful for the charges
that have been brought against them any and that is good that they brought the
charges
we are so grateful to the jurors were able to understand the common sense of
it all
so at least you're happy on that ground and by the way how much could he
possibly get
their mandatory minimum on attempted murder charges attempted second-degree
murder
is twenty years now judge could give it back to back to back which would mean
sixty years plus the 15 for shooting into a car
or he he could do this have them serve at the same time
so in which case you only get 20 years for the attempted murder charges
so that that's going to be determined later now look
I get why the family's happy that at least you know he's gonna be going to
jail it appears for a long time looks like a minimum of 20 years
but I'm not happy with this decision I don't think he thought
that there was a weapon at all at every witness testified that he was
mad that they were playing music too loud he was mad that they were
disrespecting him he said that they were playing bug music
for her the irony of that drives me crazy
because here's a guy who just cuz he didn't like your music
shot into your car in killed a 17-year-old
Michael Dunn nor the bog
you're the bug a new show did in this particular case
and then oh well you know if family be when the witnesses thought that maybe he
wanna the kids it's a column a cracker see you
execute somewhat overlooked because your feelings not hurt by that
there was no weapon even think there was any by the way was there an actual
weapon no
you search the car no weapon at all so
if he was immediate up he had an active imagination to rate reality is
he had gone there he couldn't wait to use it he couldn't wait
and the many got a little bit of an opportunity this bog
this piece of crap this by the wake on a racist
when kill that kid for no damn reason by the way
if you're still not convinced one other witnesses heard him say to the kids
before he shot up
cool you're not going to talk to me like that
how do you not convict on murder how do you not at least convicted of
second-degree murder how do you not at least convict on manslaughter
now the state is going to try him again cause a mistrial doesn't mean
he's innocent doesn't mean he's acquitted it means they just couldn't
come to a decision
and they can try the case again and I hope to god that they do I don't care
how many years he gets from the judge on
on other grounds for just us alone he should be tried
on killing Jordan Davis cuz he killed them in cold blood
