First, exactly where do you get that one juror was holding out for 1st degree murder?
According to a CNN report filed today the following is true:
There has been no statement from any of the jurors according to the Washington Times
However, there are a few questions I have concerning:
quote:
But prosecutors said Dunn lost control, firing three volleys of shots -- 10 bullets total -- at the SUV over music he didn't like.
The prosecution also challenged what Dunn did next: He left the gas station and drove 40 miles to a bed and breakfast in St. Augustine. There, he walked his dog, ordered a pizza, then drank rum and cola.
After learning almost six hours later that he had killed Davis, Dunn testified that he became "crazy with grief," experiencing stomach problems for about four hours before taking a nap.
"My intent was to stop the attack, not necessarily end a life," he testified. "It just worked out that way."
Yet his fiancee, Rhonda Rouer, testified that Dunn had never mentioned any weapon to her -- be it a shotgun, a stick, a barrel or a lead pipe.
Police found a basketball, basketball shoes, clothing, a camera tripod and cups inside the teenagers' Durango, but no gun.
And Dunn never called police. The first contact he had with them was at his home in Satellite Beach -- 130 miles south of St. Augustine -- as he was being apprehended.
Seriously, stomach discomfort and then did not contact police?
Just what was the jury members smoking or popping?
Note I said it was more likely that someone held out for 1st than for acquittal in light of the fact that they all voted
for 2nd degree attempted. If you voted that he attempted to murder the others in the car there
is no rational way to say he didn't murder the one who died. I never stated that this happened as a fact
just a matter of logic. I do not claim to know where between 11-1 and 1-11 the split came and claim no inside sources.
