Michael Dunn Convicted on 4 Of 5 Charges in Loud-Music Murder Case

.

.

A jury has found Michael Dunn, the Florida man accused of shooting anunarmed teenager to death during a dispute over loud music, guilty of fourcharges, but the jury was unable to reach a decision on the top count,first-degree murder.

Dunn, who is white, fired 10 shots into an SUV, killing Jordan Davis, 17,who was black. The shooting in a convenience store parking lot inJacksonville erupted after Dunn asked the teenagers in the vehicle to turndown their music.

Dunn was charged with first-degree murder, three counts of attemptedsecond-degree murder and one count of firing into a vehicle in the Nov.23, 2012, shooting. The jury couldn't reach a decision on the first-degreemurder charge, but convicted on the other four.

Dunn contended he acted in self-defense. Prosecutors suggested that Dunn,47, was angry because he was being disrespected by a young black man.

Dunn was remanded to the custody of authorities. Sentencing, which couldtotal as much as 75 years in prison, was set for around March 24.

The sequestered jury began its deliberations Wednesday, a week afteropening statements began. That Dunn had fired into the SUV and killedDavis was never in question. What the jury had to determine was whetherDunn had acted in self-defense.

The proceedings are the latest in a series of murder cases with claims ofself-defense that have roiled Florida and garnered national attention.George Zimmerman, who identifies as Latino, was acquitted of murdering anunarmed black teenager, Trayvon Martin, during a confrontation on Feb. 26,2012. Another case, involving a former police captain accused of killing aman in a movie theater after a dispute over texting, is working its waythrough the courts.

As in the Zimmerman case, race has been a subtext in the Dunn trial.Prosecutors maintained that Dunn repeatedly shot at the black teenagersbecause they were playing their hip-hop music too loudly.

"This defendant was disrespected by a 17-year-old teenager, and he lostit. He wasn't happy with Jordan Davis' attitude. What was his response?'You're not going to talk to me like that,' " Assistant State Atty. ErinWolfson said. "He took these actions because it was premeditated. It wasnot self-defense."
