Michael Dunn, who shot unarmed black teenager Jordan Davis for playing his hippity hoppity music too loud, is guilty of first degree murder and is going to jail
It was the second time that Mr. Dunn, 47, a software developer who claimed self-defense in the death of Jordan Davis, 17, faced a jury. In February, a jury convicted Mr. Dunn of three counts of second-degree attempted murder – one for each of the surviving teenagers in the Dodge Durango — a crime for which he could receive a 60-year prison sentence.
And let’s not forget what an odious, self-absorbed piece of shit Mr. Dunn is:
The man who shot and killed a teenager in Florida after an argument over loud music told his fiancee in a telephone call a month after his arrest that he was both the victim and the victor in the deadly encounter.
“You know I was thinking about that today, I was like I’m the f*** victim here, I was the one who was victimized,” Michael Dunn said from jail in December 2012, a month after the shooting. “I mean I don’t know how else to cut it, like they attacked me, I’m the victim. I’m the victor, but I was the victim too.”
[…]
In the conversation with his fiancee, Rhonda Rouer, he also complained about being in a room by himself, but added: “But I guess it would be better than being in a room with them animals.”A short while later, he said, “I was in a room with three black guys.”
Sounds like a real charmer. I’m sure gonna miss him… not.
Applause!
Good to here that the jury found it as much of a no-brainer as the published facts indicated.
Second trial sadly. The first was a hung jury if I remember correctly.
Had forgotten that. Deadlocked 9-3 on the murder charge in the first trial. Interviews with those jurors likely figured into the prosecutors decision to retry him.
And convicted of attempted murder for all the people in the car he failed to kill. It was prosecutorial malpractice. Glad to see it rectified!
Maybe not. There might have been one juror in the first trial that viewed the murder charge as excessive and wasn’t going to budge. Two others could could have viewed it as a close call, but further arguments and persuasion weren’t going to get the jury any closer than 11-1.
Guess this is what happens when you do something like this and you’re not fortunate enough to be a police officer.
If he had been a police officer, gotten into the same confrontation with these youth about the loud music, shot them and then told the same basic story as Dunn; he likely would not have even been indicted. Cops shooting a black kid after seeing an imaginary gun in their mind, and feeling threatened as a result of that imaginary vision, has been sanctioned over and over as a good and legal kill.
Sorry about your luck, there, Dunn……
Bye Bye! Soon you will be the girlfriend.
…3…2…1….finally a jail-rape joke.
Hahahaha!! Good one!
May he squeal like a pig…
Will this work as the teachable moment it’s intended to be?
Nahhhhhhh.
But, good verdict, anyway.
Good. Glad for the parents.
