VERDICT IN: Michael Dunn Found Guilty Of 3 Counts Of Attempted 2nd-Degree Murder, Mistrial Declared On 1st-Degree Murder Charge

Victory? Jury Finds Jordan Davis’ Killer Michael Dunn Guilty On Only 4 Of 5 Murder Charges!

Welp… Jury Finds Michael Dunn Guilty Of The Murder Of Jordan Davis Via BayNews9 The Florida jury in the case of Michael Dunn found him guilty on four charges, including three for attempted second-degree murder, but they couldn’t reach a verdict on the most significant charge — first-degree murder in the death of Jordan Davis. After the decisions were read out around 7 p.m. Saturday in court, Judge Russell Healey — who moments before had said that the jury had reached a verdict on all counts — declared a mistrial on the murder count. That possibility had floated around since 4:45 p.m. Saturday, when the 12 jurors sent a note saying they’d decided on four of the five counts that Dunn faces. But they hadn’t unanimously reached a verdict “on count 1 or any of the lesser included offenses related to it.” Count 1 is first-degree murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Davis. Jurors could have decided not to convict Dunn on that charge but instead find him guilty on lesser charges such as manslaughter. Or they could have acquitted him altogether on this count. With the hung jury, prosecutors could press for a new trial on the murder charge. Regardless — and pending defense appeals — Dunn appears set to face a lengthy prison term. We can’t lie, its great that this azzhole is gonna go to prison for a long time, but the fact that the prosecution couldn’t make the first degree murder charge stick is very, VERY, disappointing.
