Under "Stand Your Ground" Trayvon Had The Right To Kill Zimmerman

[tblue37]

12. At least "Florida Man" Michael Dunn was finally convicted (during a retrial) for murdering

17-year-old Jordan Davis over music that Dunn thought was too loud.

After 30 hours of deliberation, the jury in the first trial deadlocked over the first-degree murder charge and he was convicted only on 3 counts of attempted murder for firing TEN SHOTS into the kids' van when they fled the parking lot after he had shot Jordan.

Fortunately, he was retried, and after less than 5 hours, the second jury convicted him.

But despite the fact that it was (or should have been) a slam-dink case, that first jury just couldn't see the shooting as first-degree murder.

Perhaps part of the problem is that most jurors don't realize that premeditation can occur during the actual event, without having to plan things out days in advance of the killing. But we know that if a black man had done to a vehicle of white teens what Dunn did to a group of unarmed black kids, the common jury confusion over what constitutes premeditation would not even have entered into consideration.
