Prosecution is going to retry him on the first degree murder charge. He was found guilty on the other charges.

He is going to jail, or maybe worse. You make it sound like this guy is walking the streets again.

Dunn Faces at Least 60 Years in Prison, But Prosecution Wants to Retry Him for Davis Murder


With the imposition of mandatory minimum sentences, Michael Dunn faces at least 60 years in prison for riddling an SUV containing four teenagers with 10 bullets and being found guilty on three counts of attempted murder in a case that enthralled the nation.

Though the Jacksonville jury deadlocked on the count of first-degree murder for the death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis, who was hit by three of the 10 bullets, Florida State Attorney Angela Corey said after the verdict that her office would retry Dunn for first-degree murder.

Still, legal experts pondered whether Corey would ultimately decide to go through with another gut-wrenching trial after Dunn’s sentences are rendered by Circuit Judge Russell Healey. Since each of the three attempted murder convictions carries a 20-year minimum and each of the sentences must run consecutively, not concurrently, when added to the conviction for shooting into the car (which brings up to another 15 years) Dunn is looking at 60 to 75 years in prison.

Analyst Richard Kurtz told USA Today that with Dunn facing at least 60 years in prison, which is a life sentence for a man of 47, Corey would probably consult with the Davis family and likely decide not to go through with a first-degree murder retrial.

Just as with George Zimmerman’s trial last year in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, the underlying question in this case—and in many other cases in courtrooms across the country—was, How scary are young black males?

A Florida jury concluded last year that Trayvon was scary enough for Zimmerman’s story of fear and threat to be believed. But this time the Florida jury didn’t completely buy Dunn’s story—even with the state’s Stand Your Ground law hovering in the background—that his fears of impending danger warranted opening fire on a car full of children. The deliberations stretched over four days and 32 hours.

While Davis’ parents left the courtroom in tears, Dunn turned to his lawyer, Cory Strolla, and asked, “How is this happening?” as if he had never considered the possibility of conviction.

“Obviously, my client is devastated at the outcome. Never saw it coming one bit,” Strolla said, confirming as much. “So it’s hard. It’s hard for the family. I know his family’s devastated.”

It will be at least two months before Dunn gets sentenced. After a sentencing report is prepared, which takes about a month, the attorneys will meet at on March 24 to schedule a sentencing date.

In an emotional news conference after the verdict, Jordan’s mother, Lucia Kay McBath, said the family was happy “to have just a little bit of closure.”

“It’s sad for Mr. Dunn that he will live the rest of his life in that sense of torment and I will pray for him and I’ve asked my family to pray for him,” she said. “But we are so grateful for the charges that have been brought against him. So grateful for the truth. So grateful that the jurors were able to understand the common sense of it all. We will continue to stand and continue to wait for justice for Jordan.”

“Thank you all for seeing that we were good parents to Jordan and he was a good kid,” his father, Ron Davis, said. “It wasn’t allowed to be said in the courtroom but he was a good kid. There are a lot of good kids out there. There are a lot of good nephews, grandsons, granddaughters. They should have a voice. They shouldn’t live in fear walking around the streets. We love our children, we love our families and we raise them not to fear each other and raise them to be good citizens and we expect the law to protect us. And that’s what I want the law to do, to protect Jordan as we protected Jordan.”

The altercation started when Dunn asked Jordan and his three friends—Tevin Thompson, Leland Brunson and Tommie Stornes—to turn down their music when he pulled his car into a parking space right next to theirs at a gas station—where there were other empty spaces available. Dunn alleges that a verbal altercation led to death threats and a shotgun was pointed at him.

Police who responded to the scene found no weapon inside the car.

Dunn insisted that he was afraid for his life and that’s why he shot Jordan, who was sitting in the back seat of the SUV.

Stornes, now 20, said Davis and his friends had been “girl shopping” at St. Johns Town Center mall before stopping at the gas station in the Durango, which was equipped with an amplifier and two 12-inch speakers.

Thompson, 18, testified that after Dunn parked his Volkswagen Jetta close to the SUV, he said, “Turn your music down. I can’t hear myself think.”

Though Thompson turned down the volume, Davis said, “(Expletive) that. Turn the music back up.”

So Thompson did.

After the verbal exchange continued, Davis told Dunn, “(Expletive) you.”

Dunn then asked Davis, “Are you talking to me?” before reaching for a gun and firing at Davis’ door.

Brunson, 18, a backseat passenger, said he tried to pull Davis down to take cover and when he called Davis’ name and he didn’t respond, he checked his body to see if he had been shot.

“When I reached and touched him, blood appeared on my fingers,” Brunson said.

In her testimony, Rhonda Rouer, Dunn’s fiancee, said she and Dunn had been drinking at the Thanksgiving weekend wedding of Dunn’s son. She said Dunn had several rum and cokes.

When they pulled into the gas station and heard the music, Dunn told her, ”I hate that thug music,” before she entered the gas station to buy wine and potato chips. She said she heard a series of popping noises, and saw Dunn put a weapon back in the glove box when she returned to the car.

After the couple left the scene of the shooting and returned to their hotel, Dunn ordered pizza and they had more rum and cokes, Rouer said.

Jesse Williams on Michael Dunn Case: ‘This is Not a Black Problem, This is a White Problem’


Grey’s Anatomy’s star Jesse Williams has taken every opportunity to speak out on matters that are important to him, and this time, he’s not taking what’s going on in the Michael Dunn trial sitting down.

On Thursday he spoke with HLN’s Jane Velez-Mitchell about his outrage over the trial where Dunn stands accused of killing a Black teen over loud music in his car in November 2012.

On Saturday, the jury continued deliberations in the Duval County Courthouse in Jacksonville, Fla. Dunn is charged with first-degree murder, three counts of first-degree attempted murder, and one count of shooting or throwing a deadly missile.

“This is a tradition in this country when people are able to go ahead and kill Black people because they got sassed, because we were inconvenienced, and we become a victim of a fantasy,” Williams said.

“It is not a Black problem. It is a white problem. This is an American problem. This is a societal problem where people should be outraged when a man is able to instigate an interaction with kids and then shoot them when it doesn’t go well,” he continued. “It should be an outrage for everybody.”

“Feeling threatened is not the same thing as being threatened,” Williams said. “We have to keep fighting to be heard and to be treated as human beings. This is not close, this case. This guy is a sociopath. He goes to jail. Next.”

Usually Don Lemon is not my favorite news presenter, but this time he is on the ball.

[My Looh]

Usually Don Lemon is not my favorite news presenter, but this time he is on the ball.

Excellent point at 13:45 of that video.

If Jordan Davis had shot and killed a white man in a gas staton parking lot beause he believed he thought he saw a gun being pointed at him and then fled the scene to go home and drink wine and eat pizza, what would the outcome of such a trial have been? Would he even get to trial or would the police have busted into his house and shot him dead?

Soooo, let me get this straight! If an unarmed Jordan Davis was alone in that SUV that evening, this guy who shot him DEAD would have walked free.

Un-fricking believeable!

'I'm the victor but I was the victim too': Jailhouse phone call recordings show 'cr*p music' killer CHUCKLED as he talked about the night he shot teen dead and compared himself to a rape victim

Recordings of phone calls made by Michael Dunn in prison a month after he shot Jordan Davis have been released by prosecutors
Dunn, 47, insisted to his fiancee that he was the victim and that he was glad he wasn't being kept in a cell with 'them animals'
In a call with his father, Dunn was told his crime had gone viral and advised not to be photographed smiling
On Saturday Dun was found guilty of lesser charges of attempted second-degree murder in connection to shooting death of Jordan Davis
Mistrial declared in first-degree murder charge, but prosecutors are planning to retry Dunn
He faces at least 60 years in prison when he is sentenced



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.

‘I’m the f**king victim here. I was the one who was victimized,’ said Michael Dunn, 47, from jail in December 2012.

In the same call he also appeared to chuckle when speaking about his predicament and said: ‘I’m the victor but I was the victim too.’

After 30 hours of deliberations, Florida-resident Dunn was found guilty on Saturday night of three counts of second-degree attempted murder while a mistrial was declared on the most serious charge of first-degree murder.

The 12 jurors also found Dunn, a computer programmer, guilty of one count of shooting into an occupied car.

Dunn killed 17-year-old Jordan Davis in the parking lot of a Jacksonville gas station on the evening of Nov. 23, 2012. He fired 10 shots at the red Dodge Durango that Davis and three other teens were riding in. Davis was hit three times and died at the scene.

On Monday prosecutors released recordings of nine jailhouse calls placed by Dunn which appear to shed new light on his mindset in the days following the shooting.

All the calls took place in December 2012 while he was in jail and were either his fiancée, Rhonda Rouer, or his parents, Phillip and Sandra Dunn.

In one conversation with Rouer, he 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.’

‘Two were kids and one was an old man,’ he continued. ‘And they asked what I was in for and I told them. And I gave them some of the details and they were like “Straight up, that's what they get.”’

Speaking to Rouer, Dunn also likened his situation to when police officers doubt rape victims.

‘I was the one that was being preyed upon and I fought back. It’s not quite the same but it made me think of like the old TV shows and movies where like how the police used to think when a chick got raped going, “Oh, it’s her fault because of the way she dressed.”

'I'm like, “So it’s my fault (laughing) because I asked them to turn their music down. I got attacked and I fought back because I didn’t want to be a victim and now I'm in trouble. I refused to be a victim and now I'm incarcerated.”’

In another telephone call, Dunn's father told him of the shooting, ‘This thing is viral. It's all over the place. It's like that, you know, because he was a black kid.’

A short while later, Phillip Dunn said again, ‘It's gone viral.’

‘In a good way or a bad way?’ Michael Dunn asked.

‘A bad way, bad way,’ his father responded.

He then warns his son not to be seen smiling.

‘You can cry for a half hour, crack one smile and they'll have you as a heartless son of a b**** that's smiling about it,’ he said.

Dunn will spend at least 60 years behind bars for the attempted murder charges. Prosecutors have indicated that they plan to retry Dunn on the first-degree murder charge.

The letters and calls emerge as Dunn's daughter Rebecca, 21, gave the family's first interview, claiming her father 'is a good man'.

In a candid interview, the first of any Dunn family member, she said it should not have happened but he was within his rights.

She told ABC News: 'He is going to protect himself. If he sees no other way than to bring out his gun, then that's what he's going to do.'

She added: 'The fact that he is facing 60 years does not make sense to me, like my world is not right. It's not right.

'I was confident he was going to be found not guilty because I know what he says happened is true.

'We would not be supporting him if we knew him to be a bad man. That just wouldn't happen, so he's a good man.

'He's not a racist. He's very loving. He has a family who loves him, and I feel like people need to remember with this verdict his family is over here suffering, just like Jordan's family is suffering so no one wins in this.'

Dunn showed no emotion as the verdicts were read on Saturday night. Davis' parents each left the courtroom in tears.

'He's in disbelief, and it has not sunk in,' Dunn's attorney, Cory Strolla, told reporters following the verdict.

Strolla also said that Dunn's elderly parents were 'devastated' by the outcome of the trial, adding, 'I have no earthly clue what I could have done differently.'

The attorney said he plans to file an appeal on behalf of his client.

Earlier in the day, jurors said in a note to Judge Russell L. Healey that they were having trouble reaching agreement on the murder charge. He asked them to continue their work, and they went back to the deliberation room for two more hours.

'I've never seen a case where deliberations have gone on for this length of time ...' Healey said after the verdict. 'They've embraced their civic duty and they are to be commended for that.'

Dunn claimed he acted in self-defense, testifying he thought he saw a firearm pointed at him from the SUV as Davis yelled insults at him and the argument escalated. No weapon was found in the SUV.

Dunn told jurors he feared for his life, perceiving 'this was a clear and present danger.' Dunn, who has a concealed weapons permit, fired 10 shots, hitting the vehicle nine times.

Prosecutors contended that Dunn opened fire because he felt disrespected by Davis. The teen made his friend turn the hip hop music back up after they initially turned it down at Dunn's request. Dunn was parked in the spot next to the SUV outside the convenience store.

'That defendant didn't shoot into a carful of kids to save his life. He shot into it to save his pride,' Assistant State Attorney John Guy told the jury earlier in the week. 'Jordan Davis didn't have a weapon, he had a big mouth.'

The trial was the latest Florida case to raise questions about self-defense and race, coming six months after George Zimmerman was acquitted in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, about 125 miles south of Jacksonville.

The Dunn trial was prosecuted by the same State Attorney's Office that handled the Zimmerman case.

Dunn's attorney told reporters before the verdict that he believed there was political pressure on the prosecutors and an excess of media attention because of Zimmerman's acquittal.

'I believe there is a lot vested in this case, politically,' Strolla said. 'The case, on the heels of not guilty in George Zimmerman, just escalated that political pressure.'

Prosecutors and defense attorneys wrapped up their cases Wednesday in a trial that has turned on a confrontation between the teens and Dunn over what he called their 'ridiculously, obnoxiously loud thug music.'

Dunn claimed the music, which he described as 'rap c**p', was so loud it hurt his ears and caused his car to vibrate.

Prosecutor Erin Wolfson told jurors that Dunn's 'blood started to boil' because of the vehicle-rattling 'thug music' coming from the SUV.

Dunn escalated the confrontation and fired in premeditated fashion because a teenager had disrespected him, the prosecutor said.

She said: 'This defendant was disrespected by a 17-year-old teenager, and he lost it. He wasn't happy with Jordan Davis' attitude. What was his response? ''You're not going to talk to me like that.'"

'He took these actions because it was premeditated. It was not self-defense.'

Dunn's attorney argued that his client used legitimate self-defense after Davis let forth with an expletive-laced threat and rebuffed the prosecution's claim that Dunn was 'a madman with a gun'.

The failure to reach a verdict on the first-degree murder charge is a blow for the prosecution and the Davis family. But the three guilty verdicts on the charge of attempted second degree murder against the other teens in the SUV, mean that Dunn still faces a sentence of at least 60 years in jail, legal analysts said.

Prosecutors told a press conference after the verdicts that they plan to retry Dunn on the murder charge.

‘It's been a long, long road and we're so very happy to have just a little bit of closure,’ Davis' mother, Lucia McBath, told reporters.

‘It's sad for Mr. Dunn that he will live the rest of his life in that sense of torment. I will pray for him. I will ask my family to pray for him,’ she said.

‘But we are so grateful for the charges that have been brought against him, we are so grateful for the truth, we are so grateful that the jurors were able to understand the common sense of it all.’

On Dunn's potentially lengthy sentence, Davis' father, Ron Davis, said: 'He's going to learn that he must be remorseful for the killing of my son, that it was not just another day at the office.'

Dunn Trial Juror #4: We Voted 9-3 To Convict Him Of 1st-Degree Murder


Valerie, a home care nurse administrator known as Juror #4 in the Michael Dunn murder trial, has come forward to say that she believes he got away with the murder of 17-year-old Jordan Davis, reports Mediaite.com.

In an exclusive ABC Nightline interview Tuesday night, the juror said that they initially deadlocked at 10-2 in favor of convicting Dunn on 1st-degree murder. After Judge Healey read the “Allen Charge,” which encouraged the jury to deliberate further to avoid a mistrial, their contentious deliberations ended with 9-3 vote to convict, with the holdouts believing that Dunn had “reasonable belief” to fear for his life.

Valerie said that the jurors in favor of convicting Dunn believed that he used unnecessary force when he shot Davis.

“We all believed there was another way out, another option,” she said in the Nightline interview.

As previously reported by NewsOne, Dunn, 47, has been found guilty of 3 counts of attempted second degree murder and one count of hurling a deadly missile. A mistrial was declared on the first-degree murder charge in Davis’ shooting death.

Dunn was found guilty of everything but murdering Jordan Davis.

As previously reported by NewsOne, Dunn gunned down Davis at a gas station in Jacksonville, Florida on November 23rd, 2012. The software programmer claims that he felt threatened by the teen — who was sitting inside of an SUV with friends — and loud music coming from the vehicle, so he sprayed it with nine bullets before driving away, leaving Davis to die in a friend’s arms.

None of the teens had weapons.

The jury, which was composed of four White women, two Black women, four White men, one Asian woman and one Hispanic man, deliberated for four days and remained deadlocked on the 1st-degree murder charge and lesser charges, including second degree murder, manslaughter, justifiable homicide, or excusable homicide.

During a post-trial press conference, Florida state special prosecutor Angela Corey said that Dunn will be retried on the 1st-degree murder charge.

“We intend to fully push for a new trial….Justice for Jordan Davis is as important as it is for any victim,” Corey said.

Police pull gun on 11 year-old boy & friends building a tree fort

11-year-old building tree fort says officer pulled gun on him, friends

HENRY COUNTY, Ga. —

A fifth-grader says he was terrified when a police officer pointed a gun at him and his friends while they built a tree fort.

Omari Grant, 11, said he and his friends often play in a wooded area behind his home and were building a fort when a neighbor in the next subdivision called police to complain about what the boys were doing.

But no one anticipated what Omari and his mother say happened next.

"I guess the release of tension was like, ‘Mom, he had a gun in my face, Mommy. Mommy, he had a gun in my face,’" said Janice Baptiste, Omari’s mother.

Baptiste told Channel 2’s Aaron Diamant that Henry County police officers walked Omari home last week.

"So my son was of course traumatized by that," Baptiste said.

Omari told Diamant that two officers, one with his gun drawn, rolled up on him and a few of his friends as they built a fort in the trees behind his home.

"I was thinking that I don't want to be shot today, so I just listened to what they said," Omari said.

Omari said the officer holding his gun also used foul language and made him and his friends lay down on the ground.

"I learned that they're supposed to help you not make you feel scared to even come outside," Omari said.

Diamant ran what Omari told him past Edgar Dillard, whose wife, according to 911 records, called in from the next subdivision to complain the boys were "chopping off tree limbs."

"Yeah, that's pretty shocking to hear that a gun was pulled on a child," Dillard said.

And the reason for his wife's call: "There were falling hazards, tripping hazards, all types of hazards, so No. 1 was concern for the children and concern for the environment," Dillard said.

No arrests were made but the department is now investigating the officer's actions after Baptiste filed an excessive force complaint.

"If it was justified then we'll deal with it, if it wasn't we'll address it as well," said Sgt. Joey Smith with the Henry County Police Department.

Omari now admits he and his friends made a bad call cutting off those branches, but is still a little shaken up about how he learned that lesson.

Meantime, Henry County police won't confirm the name of the officers involved while their supervisors look intothe matter.
