I saw this juror on ABC this morning —
She said that the jury was divided 9 to 3 on the murder one count with 3 holding out for self defense.
It’s hard to understand their agreement on the other counts but inability to find a compromise on this one.
It would be nice to hear from one of the other three — did they really believe that he had a gun in the vehicle or were they just being absurd to make apolitical point against Stand Your Ground.
The reason I say this is because of the interview with Davis’s parents following this lady’s interview. His parents said that justice will have been achieved for her son when Stand Your Ground is amended — not when Dunn is convicted of her son’s murder.
I was always taught to deescalate or avoid trouble whenever possible but I will stand my ground on my own property or when there isn’t another choice. On the other hand, I get the impression that most blacks will invoke stand your ground rights if they simply think you have done anything to disrespect them.
