Michael Dunn in disbelief over Verdict

YankeeFan · Oct 1, 2014

Guilty of first-degree murder:

A Florida man was convicted Wednesday in the 2012 fatal shooting of an unarmed teenager amid a dispute over loud rap music blaring from a car.

Jurors in the racially tinged retrial deliberated for about five hours before finding Michael Dunn guilty of first-degree murder.

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.

But that jury could not unanimously agree whether Mr. Dunn killed Mr. Davis in self-defense or in a fit of rage on Nov. 23, 2012. The mistrial prompted the county’s top prosecutor to retry Mr. Dunn for first-degree murder.

From the start, the case was infused with racial overtones and stirred the nation’s debate about racial profiling and its possible consequences. Mr. Dunn is white and the teenagers black.

Good. What he did was despicable.

Prediction: Michael Dunn is not going to enjoy his time in prison.

Given what he did, my vengeful side is incredibly happy about that.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer killer.
