(65,591 posts)As we have an outcome.
You've leveraged that the jury failed to reach an outcome based on your "belief" and that there HAS to be at least one racist gun-nut KKK Zimmerman bankroller on the jury. I never said you couldn't come to a conclusion of your own, that would be silly as you obviously already have. I'm stating that without having been there and knowing all that the jury knows, it's not possible to pass such a bold judgment of guilty or not guilty. My conclusion is that I don't have one, except that the jury reached a decision. Or in a certain instance, couldn't come to one. That means that what was presented on that count wasn't definitive enough to put this guy in Ole Sparky (or however the state sanctions murder around here these days).
See, I do care about the evidence. That's why I don't run around half-cocked about racist jurors humping guns who want to shoot black people. I don't care about personally taking the effort and time to reach such a conclusion as to either agree or disagree with random folks on the internet.
It's okay to be upset about it. Lots of bloodlust around here over it. Some folks didn't get their way and are pissed about it. The prison rape humor won't quite be the same, I suppose. Dunn is obviously a bad guy and I hope he rots in prison for what he was found guilty for. If they retry the first count, I look forward to an outcome on that. I hope the kid's loved ones somehow find some peace.
