The jury deadlocked on the charge of murder 2....but did
find him guilty of several charges of attempted murder.
I’m certain the finding for was due to Dunn firing at a
vehicle LEAVING the scene. Never mind that if a badgemonkey
did the EXACT SAME THING AS DUNN DID he would be called a hero, given a medal and treated like a godking.....

As for the murder 2 charge Mr Dunn made the claim of self defense stating that there WAS a gun in the vehicle. Police
did not find one at a later time but that means NOTHING.
Given the type of people involved there is a very high order probability that a gun was present, that the occupants DID threaten Mr Dunn and that after leaving the scene of the crime THEY initiated they hid the gun, got together and agreed on a story and then LIED to the investigators.

We’ll almost certainly never know the full story and the actual truth of what went down in this case.

But we do know that Dunn violated one of the the first rules of concealed carry--AVOID CONFRONTATION.

There may or may not have been a gun in the other vehicle, but before I confront anyone, I know that if they can get out of sight, for even an instant, they will ditch any weapon, illegal substance, stolen goods, or other incriminating evidence they have. Of course they will collaborate on manufacturing testimony, evidence and anything else. The state will not look very hard at them or question them to any great degree.

If my life is in danger, of course I will defend myself, but I am not going to let loud music lead to a confrontation. I will just listen to it and think that this is one reason these guys are unemployable and will always be poor.

We may not like it, and it may be wrong, but I am not ever going to ask a carload of any minority to do anything polite. I may have to swallow some indignity, but I am not going to get a life sentence for it.

He was charged with M1 not M2 on that count.

And if there had been a gun inside that vehicle, when Dunn fired they would have fired back -- but there was no gun and Dunn never mentioned the mythical gun to anybody, even his girlfriend who was right there with him afterwards, until he spoke with his lawyer.

Mr. Dunn's claim that the youth had a shotgun would be more believable if he had said that initially to his girlfriend or the police.

When the shotgun became part of his story only after he spoke with his attorney . . . I doubt there was a shotgun.
