all about me, me, me. or in the case of the accidental selfie, it's eye, eye, eye. >> jeanne moos, cnn, new york. ac 360 starts right now. good evening. tonight the jury could not decide whether killing an unarmed teenager was murder or self-defense. almost everyone is talking about what they think of the case. we have quite a conversation. all sides, you can decide for yourself. also tonight, how an airline pilot hijacked his own flight. why he took it, where he took it, and what happens to him now. and later, we take you inside a church that puts faith to the test by handling poisonous snakes even when it results in

death. a hung jury on the murder charge. reawakening many of the same feelings as the tray van martin case and prompting so many of the same questions. not just about how the case was tried, but the bigger picture as well. about race and justice in florida, that other states around the country that share florida's stand your ground law. even if that might not have been central hear. the question is whether a criminal justice system that is color-blind on paper ends up being otherwise in practice to the point that young lives are lost. did the law make it easier for michael dunn to pump three shots into jordan davis, and harder for the jury to reach a verdict. martin savidge brings us up to da date. >> reporter: it started as a confrontation at a gas station and ended with a 17-year-old shot to death. michael dunn fired nine times into davis' suv even as it sped

away. he then drove off with his fiancee to a hotel. he never called police. to many, the death of jordan davis was senseless and defenseless. but the 47-year-old dunn told a different story, claiming he simply asked for the music to be turned down. davis began making increasingly violent threats. >> it sounded like a barrel coming up on the window. >> dunn fired in self defense. no gun was found in the suv. >> we are here to commence the trial. >> many felt the first degree murder case seemed open and shut. >> angela cory, it was a chance of redemption, just seven months earlier, she failed to convict george zimmerman for killing another unarmed african-american teen, tray van martin. >> just so you know, we have two more witnesses for today. >> dunn's defense poked holes in the state's case, suggesting jordan davis had a gun, that his

friends threw away after driving off in the suv. and cops bungled the case by delaying to look for it. >> never checked the bushes, never checked the dumpsters. you know when the detective alleges they did it? five days later. >> the prosecution had a weapon of its own. dunn's fiancee testified he never told her davis had a gun. and uttered the words that became a verbal smoking gunn. repeating what dunn told her as they first pulled up next to the suv with a thumping base. >> what did the defendant say? >> i hate that music. >> he seemed mild mannered, even meek as he vividly described the fear of the young men in the car beside them. >> i was in fear for my life. and was probably stunned. >> the trial took just days. many expected a verdict in hours. but deliberations dragged on and on. >> after four days it was clear the jury was divided.

>> a mistrial was declared on the charge of murder for the death of jordan davis. his heart broken parents thank the jury just the same. >> we're so very happy to have just a little bit of closure. >> and as protesters demanded she resign, angela cory was promising a retrial. and once more, many americans found themselves upset with the state of florida. >> what happens to michael dunn? >> he faces a lot of time. by our count he could get up to 75 years for the attempted murder charges. >> he still has to be sentenced, his attorney is talking about the possibility of an appeal. you heard the prosecutor say she wants to retry him on murder. they will ask for a change of

venue. >> martin savage for us, in florida. thanks so much. i want to bring in davis family attorney john phillips, and chuck hendricks. a former neighbor of michael dunn's who was on the witness list, but never called. i want to talk about your clients, jordan davis' parents. we're in this strange middle ground right now, a mistrial on one count, guilty on others. how are they doing right now? >> they're okay. jordan's birthday was yesterday, we had a private ceremony, they understand what the jury's done and frankly we can't wait to hear from the jury and see how many hung up, whether it was one, two or why they couldn't reach a decision. >> perhaps that will help plan strategy for the future. >> does the davis family believe

they overcharged in this case, seeking first degree murder? a lot of people suggesting that if she had gone for manslaughter, the jury may have an easier time convicting? >> usually people think of first degree murder as planning a blueprint, going out and buying a gun, and having this plan. michael dunn had a plan of his own, it was you're not going to talk to me like that fired three shots, four shots, paused, got out of his car, fired three more shots. not to mention all of the back and forth with his gun. that's a serious issue, and angela cory wanted the jury to look at it as a serious crime, premeditated murder. >> there were three convictions on attempted murder. each of the counts carries a minimum of 20 years, for all practical purposes, michael dunn will be in prison for the rest of his life. given that, the family of jordan davis, are they prepared to go

through a trial again on a murder charge? >> certainly. michael dunn in their eyes isn't just an attempted murderer, he's a murderer. he completed the act of killing their son. michael dunn will be spending the rest of his life in jail, he hasn't faced ultimate justice for jordan davis. >> you live next door to michael dunn for eight years. you say the man you watched on the stand was different than the man you lived next door to. how would you describe the michael dunn that you know? >> all i can say is, what you see in public is not what you get behind closed doors. >> behind closed doors, what do you get? >> from my perspective, e egotistical and arrogant individual. he was always right, and smarter than everyone else. >> when you learned he had been arrested for shooting and killing jordan davis, were you

surprised? >> no, sir, i was not. >> because. >> his superior than thou attitude and my personal experience with him trying to convince me i was wrong when i knew i was right, and how infuriated he would get if you didn't agree with him. he could be pretty intense. >> do you think it might have made a difference if the jury was able to hear from chuck, from neighbors like this who offer a different account? >> we believe show. i addressed this on some documentary film making being done on jordan davis' life. and got to see more of the michael dunn in that missing period. the witnesses that tiffed were his father's friends or some that we had only seen three times in 15 years. if we were on trial for murder,

wouldn't happen to average people. wouldn't we have better friends than that, there's that gap missing with michael dunn, and witnesses like mr. hendricks helped fill that gap. and we need them to come forward and tell their sides of the story so this family can get justice, youen cat victimize the victim by calling him a thug. and michael dunn is this caucasian businessman that gives him the benefit of the doubt. >> chuck, again, you say the michael dunn that you know is different than the one the jury saw. you say there were times where dunn's ex-wives came over to your house and talked to you about violent incidents inside their house. what did they tell you? >> he was beating on them. both of them at one time or another had come to my house and said that he had put his gun to their head and threatened to blow their brains out.

like i said, in both the interview with jacksonville sheriff's department and for the documentary i stated quite emphatically i never witnessed it, but they came to me complaining about it. >> john phillips, chuck hendricks, thank you for talking to us. appreciate it. turning now to our equal justice panel. jeffrey, i do have to start with you, we did hear from that neighbor of michael dunn who made some claims, saying michael dunn is a violent man. he saw evidence that he beat his ex-wives. we never heard this type of evidence on the stand. there's a reason for that? >> i don't think any of that evidence would be add missibility, youen cat put on a witness to say the witness is a bad guy, egotistical.

that's just not considered relevant evidence. and also, the most inflammatory thing he said, about the alleged use of the gun against these women, that would also probably be irrelevant, but it was also hearsay. he didn't see it, so i don't see anyway he would be allowed to testify. >> it does color the discussion. >> a lot of people were surprised by this verdict, you were not among them. you suggested this would be a hung jury, why? >> because the racial make-up, race informs everything in the criminal justice system. sunny had sent me the racial breakdown of the panel originally, and i said on this show. i said, it has all the earmarks of a hung jury. for the people who are criticizing angela cory for not going for manslaughter, was a smart stroke for her to charge first degree murder, she may well have not gotten a racially

diverse jury in florida. you only -- and mark o'mara will back me up on this. you only get 12 jurors, remember, zimmerman was 6. you charge first degree murder you get 12 jurors, that's why you have racial diversity here. >> spell it out for me, the white jurors? >> white jurors have a tough time looking at a situation like this through the prism of their own experience. when people use the term thug, people have come with a lot of baggage and that is brought right into a jury room, there are people who michael dunn resonates with, and unfortunately, i think that has a racial basis. >> we don't know for sure why they made their decision or who on the jury made that decision. you were surprised by the lung jury, arriva. you thought there was a good

solid case for first degree murder? >> i was surprised. i thought in particular, the rebuttal of the case summed up so well what those jurors could do, which is use their common sense in finding michael dunn guilty, and i thought the way he laid out the case for them, he gave them a clear pathway to do that, i agree with mark, that there is a culture, and in particular in particular, that says that even the slightest altercation can end up in the use of deadly force. particularly when it's with an african-american teenager. i applaud the states attorney for saying they're going to retry michael dunn, it doesn't matter that he's going to spend the rest of his life in jail. we have to change this culture that says african-american teens get labelled thugs or gangsters because of the kind of music they listen to, that's not acceptable. kids are dying, and we have to do something about that. >> what about that culture? you tried a case that fell smack dab in the middle of this

culture? what do you think about what she's saying? >> i don't think it's limited to florida, i have to defend my state a little bit. it's throughout the nation that we have a concern the way young black males are treated throughout the system i know the way the system is biassed against them, as mark said, it shows up in a jury selection process with, who you have on your jury panel. it shows up when you have a black defendant compared to a white defendant. it's definitely there, my frustration is, we have focused our anger on this stand your ground issue or self-defense issue. self-defense is never going away in florida or the country. it's an appropriate protection to have. stand your ground, i mention is this strange uncle of self-defense, it's there, it's not used very often. the reality is, i think people are frustrated with the way these two cases who were white

men shooting black males seem to use a statute that gave them an out. the real frustration is the indictment of the system they've been working under the last 50 years. >> these two cases, i think they're very different. the zimmerman case to me was a hard case, i don't really know what happened between trayvon martin and george zimmerman. this struck me as an easy case, he shot nine times into a car with unarmed kids and then ran off and never said anything to his girlfriend about a gun. i mean, what does it take to get a conviction? >> i -- you know, most of the studies show, and i think mark o'mara will agree with me, trying these cases. the overwhelming number of these cases that are in the criminal justice system are not white guys with black victims, young men that are victims, the usual case is a young black defendant

who is being processed through the system. that's what prosecutors are used to demonizing, that's what juries are used to being afraid of and they prey on that the system is designed to mess with young black males. i don't care what anybody says, can you see it in every courtroom. i tried cases all over the country, and young black males are kind of the ripe -- the target, if you will, of the criminal justice system. >> how do you win, then? >> i want to comment on your point about the prism, as i'm going around -- this isn't scientific by any means, but talking to african-americans about this case, there was such disbelief that given the facts as we were shown throughout the trial, that anyone could determine michael dunn was anything but guilty. looking at him testify, we heard his neighbor talk about his arrogance, that was apparent to me as i watched him testify. he cried.

he wept about a dog, and getting that dog so he could potty the dog. and his comments, his love for the fiancee, but his emotion about the killing of that young man was so different, flat. absolutely flat. i think that was telling about the attitude we're hearing about what's going to be portrayed in this documentary. >> someone had to believe michael dunn. they had to reasonably believe michael dunn thought his life was in jeopardy. >> and i said that the prosecution did not do a good enough job to get the conviction for first degree murder. i don't think it was a first degree murder unless dunn walked in with a chip on his shoulder and willing to un load his weapon on a black male. if it wasn't that. i don't think it was a first

degree murder case. what happened, because of the way durn reacted and the way he presented himself, and at least the way dunn presented and the three other teens that jordan was acting in an arrogant way himself, they really questioned whether or not dunn turned into a first degree murderer in that moment or he saw a weapon. i don't think there was a shotgun in that car. but there was one thing i don't think was focused on by the defense. they talked about a tripod being in the car, the kids hiding or stuffing something under the seat. if jordan had that tripod just to put fright in the guy next door who was 345iking a k34r5i7b9 about t complain the about the music. if that's what dunn saw, it makes a reasonable explanation he was afraid.

whether or not florida state attorney angela cory secures guilty charges on michael dunn, he's expected to spend a long time in prison for the other charges. in this, he differs from george zimmerman who is a free man today. in other ways, zimmerman shares a lot with michael dunn, including whether you think justified or not, a sense of victimization. shortly before the verdict, zimmerman sat down with chris cuomo and talked about how that belief is changing his life. >> i would like to continue my education, i would like to become an attorney. i don't think the miscarriage of justice shouthat happened to me should happen to anyone else. >> what was the miscarriage of justice? >> two enforcement agencies

stated i acted within the law in self-defen self-defense. >> you don't think it was about the law? >> no. >> what does that make you? >> a scapegoat? >> a scapegoat for? >> the government, the president, the attorney general. >> others argue george zimmerman and michael dunn benefited from a law that makes it difficult for anyone to claim self-defense. benjamin crump is the attorney for trayvon martin's family and joins us now. zimmerman says he was within his rights to shoot trayvon martin. michael dunn said he was acting in self-defense as well. florida's self-defense laws, which do include the stand your ground issue, are they broken? >> absolutely.

when you think about this vert recently with michael dunn, this stand your ground law allowed him to escape criminal liability for the death of jordan dunn just as george zimmerman escaped criminal liability for the death of trayvon martin. that's a problem, what messages we are sending out. when you think about these verdicts. when you kill an unarmed black child, you don't go to jail, but when you shoot and you miss attempted murder on the other occupants on the car you get held accountable. marissa alexander in jacksonville florida she shot a warning shot on the ceiling. she says stand your ground. what message are we send something don't miss? is that what stand your ground law means? don't miss? if you miss, you get off.

if you kill a young black man, you go home, that's just troubling. >> do you think the verdict here would have been different had michael dunn been black and jordan davis been white? >> no question about it, this is an equal justice issue, where else does it work in america if you reverse the rolls and you have jordan davis killing unarmed michael dunn, or you have trayvon martin killing unarmed george zimmerman, where aren't those young black men convicted of first degree murder. we're just troubled as black parents, professionals, lawyers saying when does the system work for us equally like it works for your children. >> the system is run by the prosecutors here, the governm t government. we're up to the task here, the prosecutors are so used to prosecuting young black men,

it's like their fish out of water. >> i don't think they understand the culture of trayvon martin. they don't understand the culture of jordan davis, and it's a situation, can they even relate to them and say their life has value, this is not a case about loud music, they try to say loud hip-hop thug music which are code words for black and other racial epithets, and really what this was about was a stand your ground law that legalizes murder of certain individuals in america, namely minorities, namely young black men. >> you worked hard with trayvon martin's parents, you've been through a lot with them. what advice would you give to the family of jordan davis as they look ahead? >> well, certainly trayvon's parents and jordan davis' parents have communicated frequently. they're part of a fraternity that nobody wants to be involved

in. and i believe jordan's father told mr. martin he was supporting him, watching him, going to rallies, never knowing he would be in tracy martin's seat months later. the message is, we all have to do something about this, we have to go to the legislature, we have to vote, and we have to serve on juries. because i think as mark geragos said, it matters when you have diversity in that courtroom because we got to make sure that they can understand all black men aren't criminals, they're not thugs, and a lot of us are good decent people that want our children to have what you want your children to have. >> a quick reminder, we'll be exploring the story and the implications of it in much greater depth later tonight, in a race and justice report, can

tonight new details about the hijacking of the ethiopian airplanes jet at the hands of its co pilot. that's right, the co pilot hijacked his own plane. he commandeered the flight originally bound for rome, when the pilot was in the bathroom. flight eventually landed in geneva, where the hijacker is in custody, thankfully no one was hurt. fred, what's the latest here? >> there's so many bizarr details, it's hard to know where to begin. as you said, the co pilot waited for the pilot to go to the bathroom and locked him out of the cockpit. what we hear from passengers, the pilot noticed what was going on, he started banging on the cockpit door, and through the intercom, the co pilot threatened to crash the plane if the pilot didn't stop. he was supposed to go to rome, he went to geneva and switzerland.

he was negotiating, trying to get asylum in switzerland much the plane was forced to land by two jets. he landed the plane, put it down on the tarmac and then got out of the cockpit with a rope, and then gave himself up to authorities, right now, he is in custody. >> out of a rope? i mean, there's -- it seems like there's easier ways. there are easier ways to get asylum if that's what you're after. what happens to this guy now, is he going to be extradited back to ethiopia? >> as i said, he's in custody right now, the swiss authorities are telling us it's too early to tell. ethiopia is a country with internal problems. the swiss are saying, clearly, hijacking a plane is not the way to do this, and if anything, he will probably end up in jail or be deported as you said, now, air piracy as they call it in switzerland carries up to 20 years. this plan is clearly in for a

lot of trouble. >> you said the pilot was banging on the cockpit door to get back in. what about the passengers. we know they weren't hurt. >> yeah. >> what do they know about what was going on? >> you know, that's one of the really bizarre things about this as well, he did apparently make that cockpit announcement, some of them knew what was going on, there are other passengers who slept through all this or didn't know what was going on. and many of them apparently when the plane landed. this is the really strange thing, they actually thought they had just touched down in rome, they were quite surprised when a special forces unit of the swiss police entered the plane and told them to put their hands up and there would be a search of the plane and finally let them off. at least nobody was hurt on that flight, apparently most of them were taken on buses and then brought to rome later, a lot of them only after touching the ground did they notice that something was very wrong with their flight. >> it raises questions about the possibility of rogue pilots and security, how do you protect yourself from something like

. a kentucky pastor has died after being bitten by a snake at

his church. he knew the danger involved in snake handlinging, he had been bitten about a half a dozen times before and recovered. this time, the rattlesnake bite proved fatal. he starred alongside pastor hamlin on "snake salvation." gary tuchman went to hamlin's church to figure out why a small group of people still handle snakes as part of their service. >> reporter: the area is quiet just before the service, except for this rattlesnake, about to be used in a wild ceremony in god's name. ♪ >> this is pastor andrew hamlin, a 21-year-old serpent handling

pastor in tennessee. he his wife and the rest of the congregation practice christianity much differently. using venomous snakes as part of their service. why? they point to the new testament, the gospel of mark. it's stated in park, they shall take up serpents. believers say when god anoints them, they have an obligation to do this, and god will protect them. even if they are bitten, their belief is god will heal them. if it looks dangerous, that's because it is. it's also illegal in the state of tennessee. that only strengthens the pastor's conviction. snake handling in churches is a tradition in decline. >> it's against the law to have snakes in a church in tennessee. does that concern you? >> no, sir, it doesn't. if someone wants to get bit and die, i know the authorities would come in on us and shut us

down. that's why i stress so much to my people to make sure. if it's their appointed time to die, there's nothing i can do to prevent it. >> these things can kill and do they do kill. just a few weeks ago, the pastor of this church was bitten by a rattlesnake during his service. he refused medical care. as he got seriously ill, he gave his permission to go do a hospital. but it was too late, he died the same day. his father died the same way three decades earlier. pastor wolford died after his 44th birthday. outsiders were not invited to the funeral. the funeral home tells us snakes were part of the grave side ceremony. >> any time it could turn on me and bite me. if you let it bite or won't let it bite, the lord will let it hurt or not let it hurt, it's up

to god. >> roy lee christian junior is the assistant pastor at another church in west virginia, he was at the service where his friend was fatally bitten. he's shocked and saddened, but his faith remains the same. >> they shall take upper is pents. that doesn't mean you have to, does it? is that your interpretation that you must take up serpents? >> if you believe the word of god strong enough, and you really believe it, and the lord moves on you, you'll do it. >> back in tennessee, the pastor says he's been bitten four times in two years. he almost died after the first bite, and says he's prepared to lose his life from a snake bite if god determines that's how he should go. >> i realize that, and i thought about, i have. i really thought about it, that's why it pays to be rich spiritually. >> another verse states that faith quench the violence of

fire. so that's why this test of faith happens in many of these services. this is called handling fire. people burning their hands, arms and other body parts with flames shooting out of bottles. >> are you ever worried that seeing snakes and fire will frighten your children? >> no. >> where not? >> when god's in it, there ain't no harm in it. >> this woman heard crying during much of the service. the pastor saying she had been going through some emotional difficulties. she then took to the alter, taking the rattlesnake and shaking with abandon. to us, it looked like she had no idea about the personal risk. the pastor claims god anointed her to handle this deadly snake.

experts to come to this conclusion. paula hancock joins me live from seoul, south korea. this report lays out in brutal detail the horrors to this regime subjects its people to. >> absolutely, john. we haven't seen this kind of report before. this is unprecedented. to t the stories may have been heard before. but to hear them, makes them unspeakable atrocities. many were concerned there would be reprisals against their family. the chair of the commission said he was driven to tears by some of it. for example, one woman refers to a fellow prisoner in a prison camp who gave birth to a child and was forced to drown that child in a bucket of water. a prison guard forced her to do

that, she was begging him to allow her to keep the baby, but was forced to kill the baby by drowning it in water or suffocating it. or putting the babyface down so it cannot breathe. now, we also heard testimony about starvation, about public executions within this camp, one man testified he had tried to escape, tried to defect, but was caught and held in a detention camp, this is what the report says about him, the inmates only received five spoons of boiled corn three times a day, he witnesses 30 men dying during his time, his bodies war wrapped up and left for days for the other inmates to see.

this is what happens when you abandon your country. hundreds of testimonies just like this one, a horrifying report, but one that the u.n. says has to have international attention. >> just to be clear, this report is from the united nations, this is an official report, how did they get this information? >> it was mainly from defectors who had escaped north korea, witnesses, those who had been inside the prison camps, had been tortured or starved within north korea itself, it was also from corroborative evidence like satellite imagery and human rights groups. >> paula hancocks for us in sole, this report is horrible. i'm sure there will be much more about this on the days ahead. more on the airliner hit by turbulence out in monday tan, that we'll speak to a reporter where the flight landed ahead.
