If Dunn is convicted of the four charges, [View all]

I think that I can live with with a hung jury resulting in a mistrial on the murder charge. That would leave the prosecutors the ability to retry it as a 2nd degree case which only has 6 jurors. If you can get rid of Angela whats her name I think that they could easily get him convicted in a second trial.

I prefer a conviction on Murder 1, could accept Murder 2 but prefer that he not walk on a murder trial. But in a second trial they really need to focus on what Dunn did and what he didn't do. They should not concede anything on the Jordan Davis. Dunn is the one on trial not Davis.
