FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A north Florida jury has failed to reach a verdict on the first-degree murder charge brought against a white man who shot dead an unarmed black teenager in a dispute over loud music.
The judge in Jacksonville declared a mistrial on the first-degree murder charge Saturday night.
The jury, however, convicted Michael Dunn, 47, on four lesser charges including three counts of second-degree murder. He was also found guilty on a fifth count of firing into an occupied vehicle.
Dunn fired 10 rounds at an SUV carrying four teens in a Jacksonville gas station parking lot in November 2012, killing Jordan Davis. During the trial, Dunn claimed he thought Davis was armed and was going to exit the car to kill him.
However, police did not find evidence of a gun in the victim’s vehicle and the three surviving teens testified that they never threatened Dunn.
Even though, the prosecution and Davis family suffered a setback on the first-degree murder charge, Dunn still faces a sentence of up to 60 years in prison for other charges.
The case has reignited the debate over Florida’s controversial “stand your ground” law, seven months after neighborhood watch leader George Zimmerman was acquitted of killing another unarmed black teenager, Trayvon Martin, in a fight at a Sanford housing estate.
Both cases have had racial overtones and claims of self-defense by white men who thought their lives were in danger by unarmed black teenagers.
The prosecution team in both cases was led by state attorney Angela Corey and was heavily criticized for its failure to secure a conviction against Zimmerman.
After the Dunn verdict was announced, Benjamin Crump, the attorney for the family of Trayvon, said that the justice system “isn’t equal” for “black males and black people in America, and other minorities and Hispanics as well” who are killed by white people.
“The rules are different. If it were equal, I believe Michael Dunn would have been convicted of first-degree murder,” he said on CNN.
Zimmerman claimed that he took a beating before shooting Trayvon to death. However, Dunn never even received a scratch.
