In reply to the discussion: Michael Dunn (Loud Music Killer) Will Take the Stand Momentarily [View all]Voice for Peace
(13,141 posts)148. I remember you from the Zimmerman trial.. I just came looking for good old DU legalanalysises
and happy to find some familiar names in discussion.
They are on some sort of break at the moment,

I have tuned in late, astonished for some reason to

Welcome any summation, analyses so far, or links.
thanks!
will he walk?
he seems remarkably sympathetic but I have missed
most of the trial.
what's to come?

It's hard to imagine anybody making Zimmerman look half way decent, but Dunn has done it.
