I'm John Berman, sitting in for *, welcome to the 360 podcast. Convicted of trying to kill three people but not actually killing a fourth. Michael Doug raise a justice. Let's get started.
It was a shocking crime. It started as a disagreement over loud music at a gas station and ended with 17 years old Jordan Davis shot to death.
Police said Michael Dunn fired 9 times into Davis' SUV even as it's expected *,even drove off with his fiancee to a hotel, he never called police. To many the death of Jordan Davis was senseless and defenseless, but the 47 years Dunn told a different story, claiming he simply asked to the music to be turn down, but Davis began making increasingly violence threat . John said he fired in self defense. No witness saw Davis with a gun and no gun was found in the SUV. Many people doubt the first degree murder case against Michael Dunn seemed open and shut, for procecutor Angela it was a chance with redemption, just 7 months ealier she had failed to convict George Zimmerman for killing another unarmed African American teenager. The trial took just days.
Many expected * takes hours, but deliberation is ragged on and on, after 4 days, it was clear that the jury divided. Dunn was found guity on precouncil of attempted murder, but mistrial was declared on the charge of murder for the death of Jordan Davis, his heart broken parents thanks the jury just the same. And the protesters demand she resign prosecutor Angela with promising a retrial. And once more, many American found themselves wondering about state Florida whether justice was served.
Wanna bring in Davis' family attorny John Phillips and also Charles Hendrix former neighbour of Michael Dunn who was also on the witness list but never called.
John, first of all I want talk about your client, Jordan Davis' parents. I'm sure they are going to * if you prepare them for the possibility of guilty, prepare them possibility of not guilty, in the strange middle ground right now, a mistrial on one call guilty on others,how they doing right now?
They are okay. You know Jordan's birthday was yesterday,we had a private ceremony there, they understand what the jury was done, frankly we can't wait to hear from the jury to say how many hung up, whether there was one or whether there was two,and why they couldn't reach a decision.
Charles, you live next door to Michael Doug for 8 years, you say the man you watch on the stand was different with the man you live with next door, how would you describe Michael Dunn you know?
All I can say is what you see in public is not necessarily what you get in behind closed doors?
In behind closed doors, what do you get?
From my perspective, egotistical and arrogance individual, he's always right, smarter than everybody else.
So when you learnt Michael Dunn has been arrested for shooting and killing Jordan Davis,were you suprised?
No, Sir, I was not. He's superior than his attitude, and my personal experience with him friend convince me I was wrong, when I knew I was right,how inferior he get.If you didn't agree with him, he could be pretty intense.
Pretty intense, so John do you think it might make a difference if the jury was able to hear from Charles, from neighbours like this? Who offered a different count over Michael.
We believe so, I address this in deformation lawsuit, and insert document film making being done for Jordan Davis' life, got to say more of Michael D is missing period, you know the witness the testified was father's friends, or son he'd only seen three times in 15 years, and we all have asked ourselves, if we were in a trial for murder it won't happen to average people, if we were in trail for murder,wouldn't we have better friends than that? In their days, get missing was Michael Dunn, and witnesses like Mr. Hendrix helped fill that gap, we need them to come forward tell their sides of story, so this family can get justice, that you can't victimize the victim by calling them *, and Michael Dunn is this you know occasion businessman that give him the benefit that out.
