the only reason either of these stories are getting attention is because they occurred in a state that allows trials to be broadcast on TV, so the "news" use it to drive ratings
this trial wasnt on tv
they are saying minimum mandatory 75 yrs

That's not what a mistrial means.

Good.
You think the prosecution will bother retrying the first degree murder charge? I wouldn't. There's no statute of limitations on murder, so they can always retry it if he ever gets out somehow or other in the future.

So CNN is the Racism News Network now apparently...

They could, but the defense would argue it wasn't a speedy trial and it would probably be dropped.

Someone explain why this was first degree murder even if you believe the prosecution.

if the 75 is hanfed down it would be a waste of money to retry.

He'll get a steady dose of rap where he's headed.
Watching the victim's Mom now. Classy statement and you can see the suffering on her face. Pops too.

thats probably why it was a mistrial on that charge.
But he fired into the vehicle after they were driving of.

Prosecutors said Dunn, 47, fired 10 bullets at a sport-utility vehicle containing Davis and three other black teenagers. Dunn testified on the witness stand that he feared for his life and thought Davis was armed with a shotgun. But detectives said no weapon was found in the SUV.

Doesn't seem like it.

The mistrial on the 1st degree came from both sides telling their parts. There was an uncertainty whether or not the kids incited Dunn by getting out of the vehicle or threatening him. I think its still b.s. but oh well

whole thing seems kind of logical
overcharged on the one he shot, was a spur of the moment thing, should have been second degree
then he shoots at fleeing car, obviously not threatened then, obviously guilty (view from outside looking in)
If everybody was the same race the outcome would be perfectly alright, except for the family of the dead kid.

Why wouldn't it be premeditation if he grabbed a gun and walked up to them with the intention of killing them? How pre does the meditation need to be?

Fits more into the heat of the moment type of homicide. First degree seems like a huge stretch (being kind) unless he was trying to rob the guy.

seems like a good enough reason if you are afraid of the winking person

The question was regarding whether it would be first degree murder even if you believe the prosecution.

Dunn claimed he acted in self-defense, testifying he thought he saw a firearm pointed at him from the SUV as Davis yelled insults at him and the argument escalated. No weapon was found in the SUV.
