    We really gonna rehash this "all white jury for white GZ" nonsense?

    The jury in this case is into their second day of deliberations, which suggests that they're having a tough time coming to a conclusion, which usually means a hung jury or an acquittal.

    I am always amazed how some people can rejoice in the acquittal of murderers!

    But in this case, I think you'll need some tissues to dry your eyes!

    This is not a simple case with ONE decision to make. Dunn is charged with FIVE counts. . .and I believe the decision the Jury is trying to make is whether they go for murder 1 or murder 2. But we'll see!

    Funny how you are accusing the victim of a crime. . .but you are not ready to show that there was a judgement against him. . .in fact, not even a police report against him!

    Contrary to Zimmerman!

    That's because the school system and police wanted to protect their 'pet minority' students

    Sure. . .Just like Zimmerman's daddy wanted to protect his son when he assaulted his girl friend and the police officer!

    Surely we could rejoice at how mass hysteria doesn't reach into the jury room in our country, despite the best efforts of a mostly honorless media. It's a good thing that they are taking their time and I'm just commenting on what that usually means.

    As for the charges effecting the length of the deliberations, you are probably incorrect. Each of the charges logically merges into the other charges, so if he is guilty of one thing here then he is guilty of all of them. If he is innocent of one thing then he is probably innocent of all of them.

    I would not want to be on that jury. It really sounds to me though that this Dunn guy shot out of anger. I haven't seen all the evidence and I surely was not there but it just doesn't add up.

    It seems that I do :lol: Surely no one on TV would ever mislead you?

    As often happens in these high profile cases, they could have charged Dunn with 2nd degree reckless murder for shooting into the car and assault of the people in the car, but instead this bad prosecutor has to go for 1st degree murder and attempted murder of everyone in the car, because prosecutors get points in direct relation to how many years they put someone in jail for.

    Dear, in this case, the JURY can choose to go for 1st or 2nd degree murder, even for manslaughter. . .so you are (again,) missing the boat!

    Is the verdict out? Juries don't select the charges they deliberate.

    I haven't read anything about 2nd degree murder or manslaughter charges, though I have only read a couple articles on this.

    False. As I said previously, even if the first volley of shots was justified, the second volley clearly wasn't. He shot at the vehicle as it was fleeing. Just based on that alone, he should spend some jail time.

    Premeditation doesn't not require a long time frame as you state.

    The fact that he ran, hide, and the ran from the county shows premeditation.

    I've seen the video. It was the alleged witness who said Dunn was wearing a black baseball cap and he didn't say he saw Dunn say that. He heard someone say that. Not necessarily Dunn. The guy wasn't very credible anyways. His testimony conflicts with all of the other witnesses, so I dismiss it.

    He deserved to be stopped because he was an armed criminal who was in the commission of a crime that put another's life in danger.

    Dunn was in his car. Shot from his car. And then drove away.

    Drive by shooting. Also nice to see you admit that Dunn shot as the other car was fleeing...not returning fire with an imaginary gun.

    - - - Updated - - -

    What was the crime?

    Armed with a knife at never left his pocket? Keep trying.

    Dunn is a murderous thug who is going to rot in jail.

    This case reminds me too much of Zimmerman's '. If you go looking for trouble you will find it.
    Loud music is not a reason to pull a weapon. So kids have loud music, just ignore.

    What the evidence seems to show is that Davis was very angry. He was enraged for no good reason. But none of the evidence indicates the Dunn was angry at all. There's no evidence that he yelled back or anything. The evidence indicates that he was his usual calm self and Davis was enraged the way his best friend testified he has seen often.

    It's just a case where the thug threatened to kill and someone took that threat seriously.

    To say he pulled a weapon because of loud music is totally absurd. That is not what happened.
