A Florida jury found Michael Dunn guilty on four of the five charges in a case in which he was accused of shooting a teenager to death over loud music, but they could not come to a decision on the murder charge and a mistrial was declared on that count.
Dunn, 47, had faced a first degree murder charge for the shooting death of Jordan Davis, 17, in a Jacksonville convenience store parking lot on Nov. 23, 2012.
The judge had instructed the jury that they could consider lesser charges, including second degree murder, manslaughter, justifiable homicide or excusable homicide, but they said the could not come to an agreement on any of those charges.
Dunn was found guilty of three counts of attempted second degree murder for shooting at other teens in car and one count of firing a gun into a car.
Prosecutors alleged that Dunn fatally shot Davis after he asked the teen and his friends to turn down their music.
jury says a murder one was an overcharge, he pulls into a gas station teens are playing loud music not unique to Black teens, tells can't believe he asked them to turn it down then claims that he saw a phantom shotgun and reached in glove box unloaded in spurts 10 shots killing one.
that IMO is premeditated not when he pulled in but after he made the decision to retrieve his gun and over shoot think he would have realized had they had a gun seeing him going for the glove box would have took him out and a shotgun no miss situation.  he also fired and stopped and re-fired 3 times.
Fla. getting a reputation to rival Texas and Arizona.
Dunn testified that he feared for his life and thought Davis was going to kill him, prompting Dunn to pull out his gun and fire nine times at the car that the teenagers were sitting in.
Assistant State Attorney Erin Wolfson told jurors that Dunn "fired round after round after round" at Davis and his friends as they sat in their car. She said Davis was inside the SUV when he was killed. Dunn claims the teen had gotten out of the vehicle.
In his closing argument, Dunn's attorney Cory Strolla said that his client had a right to "meet force with force." He said the state has the burden to prove that Davis didn't brandish a gun at Dunn, as Dunn has claimed.
we have evidence once more that this was murder and not self defense self defense would have stopped shooting when he realized there was no shooting back again if they saw him going for it it's a given with Black guys when you are out and argue and go back in the car you are going for the gold they would have ended his story right then.  seems Black teens are not a menace to society but society is a menace to Black teens.
a jury can't find charges that are blatantly obvious, Zimmerman being told not to follow then racial rants, "they always get away, yeah he's up to something"  southern law does not work for Blacks
