As stated.....Dunn is guilty of felony stupid for sure.
The issue however is that he claimed a gun was
present. There WAS time for a weapon in the car
to be disposed of. The occupants of the car had
as much motivation to lie about a gun not being
present as Dunn did to claim one did exist.
All it takes is ONE juror to buy that as reasonable
doubt. That is how the system works. It can often
lead to a guilty party being acquitted of a charge but
it should if applied correctly lead to a innocent people
not being incarcerated unfairly.
It’s not a perfect system but when it is applied as
intended it is to date likely the best and fairest one
to be had.
Yeh but the same juror who would have voted self defense on that count then voted attempted Murder 2 on the other counts. That makes no sense.
If you are defending yourself against a gun in the car pointed at you then all 10 shots fired into the car are legitimate self defense -- not just 3.
It is just as likely that some were holding out for Murder 1 and refused to compromise to Murder 2 -- despite the contentions of ABC's legal analysts.
It would be nice if one of the jurors spoke up and told us how the votes went on that count. It's possible that the prosecution already knows and that's why they just released Dunn's jailhouse tapes as further evidence that their charge of premeditation was accurate.
