In reply to the discussion: I don't think Michael Dunn is enjoying his Pyrrhic victory. [View all]Hassin Bin Sober
(26,427 posts)I have to say I too am a little perplexed by the apparent juror(s) logic. Perplexed enough that I don't think it is logic at all.
Please allow me a little foray in to a hypothetical (or mental masturbation):
If I was a juror and I truly believed the kid had a shotgun and seriously menaced Dunn with said shotgun, I wouldn't vote to convict on the attempted murder charges. At that point, in my mind, all bets are off and it's OK to shoot at the car. I'm not going to put someone away for life if they had a shotgun pointed at them and TRULY were in fear for their life.
But I don't believe Dunn's story for one second.
I have a theory that maybe the bigot hold-out on the jury dug his heels in on the murder charge but relented on the attempted murder charges - thinking he was doing his "cause" a favor.
