Loud Music Verdict: Michael Dunn guilty on four counts, including attempted murder; mistrial declared on first-degree murder charge

I didn’t follow this at all besides hearing bits and pieces.  The jury has spoken although I don’t understand how you can have a mistrial on murder but a guilty verdict on attempted murder.  Wouldn’t a mistrial knock everything off the table behind it?   

NY DailyNews reports a Florida jury found Michael Dunn guilty on three charges of attempted murder and firing a weapon into a vehicle Saturday in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Jordan Davis after a 2012 argument outside a Jacksonville convenience store over loud music.

The jury did not reach a verdict on first-degree murder and a mistrial was declared on the charge.

Dunn showed little emotion after the verdict came back from the jury of seven women and five men.

He was convicted on three charges of attempted murder and firing a weapon into a vehicle. He is facing up to 75 years in prison.

The jury deliberated for more than 30 hours over four days.

Dunn will be sentenced on March 24 at 9 a.m.

Dunn pulled a handgun from his glove box after he says he saw the barrel of a gun peeking from Davis’s friends red Dodge Durango. Dunn fired 10 shots, 9 of which hit the car.

Three of those hit Davis, 17, who was probably dead after the first bullet, a medical examiner testified during the trial.

Judge Russell L. Healey praised the jury for their attention to detail during their deliberations.
