Criticizing a jury for being deliberate is really foul cthulu2016 Feb 2014 #1

I'll Wait To Reserve Judgement Then SoCalMusicLover Feb 2014 #9

There were four kids in that car, so they have to assess his actions and his state of mind geek tragedy Feb 2014 #2

Would any of those scenarios make a difference? VanillaRhapsody Feb 2014 #11

he's obviously guilty of some form of criminal homicide. geek tragedy Feb 2014 #14

What options have the jury been given? VanillaRhapsody Feb 2014 #19

I dunno how many lesser-includeds have been put before them. nt geek tragedy Feb 2014 #22

VR, I thought they had been given murder 1, arthritisR_US Feb 2014 #28

Okay it seems you are correct...thanks.. VanillaRhapsody Feb 2014 #33

I think the only thing he's guilty of is murder 1 arthritisR_US Feb 2014 #41

No shit. bravenak Feb 2014 #3

Hey, try living in this Isoldeblue Feb 2014 #6

I'm sorry. It's sucks to be in a place that doesn't represent you very well. bravenak Feb 2014 #12

Ahhh, bravenak, thank you. Isoldeblue Feb 2014 #55

I don't find him harsh, he was just following arthritisR_US Feb 2014 #45

Wonder if the tables were turned libodem Feb 2014 #8

Would he have even made it alive to the jail? I think about that, too. n/t freshwest Feb 2014 #26

Probably not. In_The_Wind Feb 2014 #30

No kidding libodem Feb 2014 #36

I don't recall anyone in the store yell "call the arthritisR_US Feb 2014 #47

including those three people and his girlfriend as witness's this time... VanillaRhapsody Feb 2014 #13

What does it take for him to walk? A jury that ALL laughed at a joke about cleaning up the mess freshwest Feb 2014 #46

I don't see Keefer Feb 2014 #10

He is not charged with first degree... VanillaRhapsody Feb 2014 #16

I Think He Is SoCalMusicLover Feb 2014 #20

I am pretty sure it was 2nd degree... VanillaRhapsody Feb 2014 #27

"Dunn is charged with first-degree murder, ..." Keefer Feb 2014 #31

Yes I was mistaken....but I think it is easily 2nd degree murder... VanillaRhapsody Feb 2014 #38

Ya he is, as he should be and I believe guilty of. nt arthritisR_US Feb 2014 #37

But I think it is easily 2nd degree.... VanillaRhapsody Feb 2014 #67

They were told premeditation could be a matter of seconds. aquart Feb 2014 #76

He is charged with 1st degree... JCMach1 Feb 2014 #64

So You Think Manslaughter 2? SoCalMusicLover Feb 2014 #18

I can see premeditation here. Diamonique Feb 2014 #24

BINGO! nt arthritisR_US Feb 2014 #51

And in his own words. Quotes from his letters to his grandmother at Huffpo: freshwest Feb 2014 #56

Exactly, he chose to fire 9 shots as the kids were speeding away... JCMach1 Feb 2014 #66

You do know that there's a lot of charges for them to consider, right? Tommy_Carcetti Feb 2014 #21

My State Embarasses Me Plenty SoCalMusicLover Feb 2014 #29

Deliberations can take a long time. Long deliberations don't necessarily mean one thing or another. Tommy_Carcetti Feb 2014 #34

I have been on a murder trial jury.... VanillaRhapsody Feb 2014 #23

Deliberations Should Not Have Taken Longer Than a Cigarette Break, Sir The Magistrate Feb 2014 #25

They have a lot on their plate: Keefer Feb 2014 #35

Guilty Of Murder In The First Degree, Sir The Magistrate Feb 2014 #39

Going through the verdict forms alone would probably take an hour. Tommy_Carcetti Feb 2014 #42

Fair Enough, Sir The Magistrate Feb 2014 #44

some evidence to the contrary onenote Feb 2014 #62

What is the "sir" deal? n-t Logical Feb 2014 #77

It's his schtick. NT blueridge3210 Feb 2014 #81

OK, thanks! n-t Logical Feb 2014 #83

If he was black and the kids were white, the jury would have convicted in 10 seconds flat. OregonBlue Feb 2014 #32

I'd like to see one case where that happened. Boom Sound 416 Feb 2014 #40

It doesn't happen. The black guy would get shot while handcuffed or 'fall' down the stairs. nt TheBlackAdder Feb 2014 #54

Of course. Boom Sound 416 Feb 2014 #60

This guy was found not guilty. dilby Feb 2014 #61

19 hours deliberation - fail. Stupid Florida for being in New York Boom Sound 416 Feb 2014 #63

Still Thinking It's A Bad Sign SoCalMusicLover Feb 2014 #65

It is the same State's Attorney who botched the Zimmerman case... so am I hopeful??? JCMach1 Feb 2014 #68

It's just Boom Sound 416 Feb 2014 #69

A lightning quick conviction would not have been good in this case. Tommy_Carcetti Feb 2014 #70

Conviction Is The Key Word SoCalMusicLover Feb 2014 #71
