Hope someone takes care of him mysteriously. That's the only chance there is of any justice.

This verdict does not address that there was a murder. WTF?


Hmm, whoever the prosecutor is he sucks. Not even a manslaughter charge.???

This wasn't 1st degree or nothing. It was 1st degree with the lesser charges of 2nd degree and manslaughter included. The jury couldn't decide on any of those... so it was a hung jury.

I think somebody was holding out for not guilty altogether on the murder trial.

There were 3 others in the area of the shooting.

This is messed up. He killed a kid. Yes he is going to prison but not for his murder. This is an outrage!

the racist letters he wrote about African Americans, and the fact that he shot the car when the car was leaving. WTF? When they retry this case, I hope they don't use the same Prosecutor.

was the fact that there was about 10 seconds before the last volley of shots. It becomes easier to look at the last volley as a separate incident. Plus all 4 boys were in the vehicle trying to get away from Dunn at the time and hardly a threat to Dunn.

individual separately -- and the judge said yes

As the vehicle contained multiple persons, it is possible for the defendant to have unsuccessfully attempted the murder of one or more vehicle occupants, without being guilty of the murder of the vehicle occupant he actually killed

and the host a says why is this case getting so much attention,and they want to know how they can justify giving a guilty on the 4 counts when they didn't do it on the first one.

You are not untouchable.

Of course this whole affair will just add to their list of what not to do when hunting African-Americans.

He'd better get used to that view and pray for better men to be in charge of him than he is. Only difference is he'll be wearing orange or something.
