The nation is still talking about Saturday’s very closely watched verdict in the murder trial of Michael Dunn.
The 47-year-old Dunn was convicted on three counts of second-degree attempted murder, but the jury could not reach a verdict on first-or-second-degree murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis after about 30 hours of deliberations.
State Attorney Angela Corey says she’ll retry Dunn on that first-degree murder charge.
Dunn now faces what amounts to a life sentence—60 plus years in prison.
Meanwhile, critics of Florida’s Stand Your Ground law are using the verdict to bolster their argument that the statute needs a fresh look.
Dr. JeffriAnne Wilder, professor of sociology at the University of North Florida, joined Melissa Ross to discuss the verdict and hear your reaction.
