If you look at the verdicts it appears that they had juror(s) with
reasonable doubt on self defense for the first shot or two but
continuing to shoot at a fleeing vehicle was a crime.
I agree if that was the case.

I do not think "retreat" was really an option since his girlfriend was
still going to be there if he left. My wife surely would not be happy
if I drove off and left her at a gas station because I was in fear of
bodily harm.


There's not an iota of evidence Dunn was in fear of bodily harm, and his
communications from jail indicate he was a mean-spirited racist.

Whatever music the kids were listening to was no threat to his life.

Dunn got away with murder. Another white man who shot and killed a black
kid for no reason, and the crime was nullified by whites on a jury in
Florida. What a surprise.


I doubt, when he is dying in a prison hospital a couple decades from
now, that he will think he got away with anything.

How many life terms do you think he needs to have?
He is looking at well over 60 years now and that is before they apply
three 10-20 life terms to his current convictions.

He will be in jail until Florida DOC decides they don't want to pay to
watch him die, in the world's most expensive geriatric facility, a
prison.


I think seeing him convicted of a murder charge might send a message to
at least a few of the armed-up morons who think they can shoot a kid if
he is offensive verbally or cuts through his yard to somewhere else or
teepees one of his trees.

At the moment, Dunn is unconvicted of murder. That is an embarrassment.

I read where at least nine of the jurors voted to convict him of murder.


How many life terms would be appropriate here?

Don't you think doing 60 years for simply shooting at someone will
send a message?
I still blame Corey for the over reach. If she had just started with
murder 2 or man slaughter she may have had more luck. Making the top
count murder 1 created a situation where she had to prosecute a case
she did not have.


It's not the number of years that matter, it's the conviction of murder.
In some states, if you prosecute for Murder 1, the jury can say no to
that and convict on Murder 2. Is that an option in Florida?
