Sounds like they already convicted him of firing into the automobile and attempted murder. It may just be a question of causation. He’s an idiot. Sort of like the old dude who shot the man texting in the theater.
I would have used a bat, stick or boot, then followed up with the firearm.
I feel that there should be a “douchebag test” for anyone who wants to carry. That would cover this guy.
And then the Zimmerman types who need to play Manly Man need a “twitch” test.
Not taking Treyvon’s side. Read on.
Where I come from, “twitches” like Zimmerman abound: middle-aged white men, insecure, television-saturated and possessing failing personal lives. They’re unstable and dangerous.
When they meet up with a criminal up-and-comer like Treyvon...that’s what happens.
I could tell you some stories.
Tactically, this is fascinating.
To start with, practically he was facing *seven* charges, as for the first count, the jury could have reached a verdict for Murder 1, Murder 2 *or* Manslaughter.
Ordinarily I would suspect a “jury nullification” vote, but something is odd. On the other charges, the *attempted* murder charges of the other passengers, he could face 20 years on each charge.
And the jurors all agreed on those counts (likely not guilty). However, if just one juror had been nullifying the first count, the pro-conviction jurors could have “counter-nullified” the other charges, forcing them into a retrial as well.
They likely would have done so, if they were in a bad mood.
This makes me suspect that *most* of the jurors wanted to acquit on count 1, but just one or two demanded conviction.
Lots of good info here;

The decedent was getting out of the car, probably to beat down the shooter. He was shot in the legs first. Shooter claims he saw a gun. I don’t really know much, as I haven’t been following the case. One thing is certain though, at least in my mind, the shooter is a dumba$$. But it’s another Angels Corey case, and the prosecutors are pulling the same kinda stunts the pulled in the Zimmerman trial.
Just call it the “white knock out game”
I wonder if NBC would be so quick to label the races of those involved had the roles been reversed.
Should have “twitched?¿” three more times and avoided biased accessories. Where I come from I’m just sain.
Dunn has just been found guilty on all counts except first degree murder, where the jury deadlocked. See:

if you think urban yuts weren’t feeling immunity in playing the “knockout game”, just wait....this case will further encourage them to “step it up”.
there will be a sense of immunity going forward. I can crank my kanye up as loud as I want and nobody can do nothing to me!
the inner cities are literally becoming warzones.
IHO, the jury did the right thing....state can and will retry on deadlocked count(as they should, but not 1st degree murder 2nd degree yes).
This Dunn guy is going away for a long time, as he should....judge better give Dunn the max allowed per guilty charge....
Corey just said the defendant didn’t file to use the Stand Your Ground law??
Did I hear that right??
Corey is grinning like the cat that swallowed the canary.
She is a very frustrating person to watch. She knows she’s on TV and is milking it.
He should have claimed some kind of cognitive brain disfunction caused by the loud, pounding “music”.
I’m a strong supporter of self defense and stand your ground laws, but I’m having a tough time making that connection here.
2nd degree murder seems open and shut, but how do they get a charge of 1st degree?
How did he have time to premeditate?
over-under on when Obama speaks out on this case?
