60 years, mandatory minimum!

[JJChambers]

Mark O'Mara says that on CNN -- due to Florida law the attempted 2nd degree murders will be required to run consecutively and Dunn will have to serve a 60 year mandatory minimum on the convictions -- and up to 75 years!

1. Still not good enough!

What about Jordan Davis' life? Why hasn't he been convicted of killing a young teenager?

2. what the hay? how is 60 years not an appropriate sentence?

I suppose YOU are champing at the bit for a painful execution.

3. Execution? I don't believe in the death penalty

My issue is with the fact that his time will only be based on attempted murder of the other kids. He has not been penalized for the actual killing of Jordan Davis.

5. Actually for once i'm with Cali_Democrat here

Not that 60 -75 years isn't a good thing... but this man committed first degree murder. He went back to get his gun out of his car so he could kill Jordan Davis and start shooting at his friends. That the Jury failed to reach a consensus on that is... disturbing to me.

One can be glad Dunn is going to be spending the rest of his life behind bars, and still be very concerned about the outcome of the trial.

8. I don't think he ever left his car

Until he got out to shoot more as the boys were fleeing

12. For once?

I didn't know you support the war on drugs, drone attacks and the military industrial complex.

Those are just some I could find.

Perhaps you're on the wrong message board if you disagree with me on all these issues.

9. It is life for him.

Not exactly a spring chicken

7. He should go to jail on first charge too, Being young and black should not be threatening

4. I'll be happy if he spends the rest of his life in prison and dies never breathing free air

Some justice is more than a lot of people get.

10. The judge may have discretion to have sentence be concurrent

If sentence are allowed to concurrent, then it could be 20 years. I hope that this not the the case

[JJChambers]

11. Consecutive

I think Florida law require the sentence to be consecutive for these convictions.
