At least one person on that jury apparently believed Dunn was in fear for his life and would not be dissuaded.

The police could certainly have done a better job in their search. I'm not sure at what point they learned that Dunn believed there was a gun. Were it not for someone taking down his license #, he might still be walking free and still would not have told his fiancée he thought he saw a gun.
