the state might try and go after dunn's character using a letter michael dunn wrote from jail. quote, this jail is full of blacks and they all act like thugs. in is dunn writing. another. this may sound a bit radical, but if more people would arm themselves and kill these idiots when they're threatening you, eventually they may take the hint and change their behavior. i mean, if this were presented in front of this jury, it might have not only changed this juror's feeling, it might have changed others. >> this is toxic, explicit racism of the kind that you rarely get in courtrooms today. you know, a lot of times we're guessing. is this guy racist or not based on his conduct? well, here we have in writing very clear language from michael dunn himself just months after the shooting where he is clearly a racist with the capital r. that evidence should have come in. but i do not blame these jurors, as you say. they were not given the evidence. they were instructed to follow the law. they did follow the law. stand your ground was a great big problem for them. that's not their fault.

seventeen year old boy yes or what convinced you that to me it was unnecessary you didn't think michael dunn had to kill jordan davis i don't believe most of the jurors while valerie thought the dunn should have been found guilty for the marriott murder of jordan davis two jurors thought the dunn was justified in taking the actions that he did so why did those two jurors think that dunn was justified in opening fire on an s.u.v. filled with teenagers after argument over loud music because of florida's stand your ground shoot first law during closing arguments in the dunn case dunn's defense attorney corey stroll repeatedly instructed jurors to look over page twenty five of the jury instructions he said to them i'm going to talk to you a little bit about justifiable use of force is honor's going to instruct you in ages twenty five to twenty eight i ask you when you go back in the jury room go all the way to page twenty five and start there because the law is going to tell you very clearly here's what page twenty five of the jury instructions if michael dunn was not engaged in an unlawful acti

michael dunn didn't even have that.admitted to police that he may have imagined that the teen, jordan davis had a gun. there was no gun. there was never a gun. and the jury verdict is very, very disturbing. now many people will say, you know what, just take what you got, it's 60 to 90 years guaranteed. i as a crime victim myself, i don't agree with that, i think the case regarding this boy, jorden davis needs to be retried for murder one. >> here are my problems with this. if dunn and zimmerman had not been carrying guns, then these two young boys who were unarmed as it turned out, regardless of any fear they had been felt by the people shooting the guns, they would be alive, right? there's a gun accessibility -- >> are you back on gun control again? if it weren't for the british, we won the have to have gun to protect ourselves. the british were running through all of our homes trying to take our stuff. we're protected under the constitution. it's not right for a brit to jump up and start talking to us about gun contro

>> michael dunn's state of mind in this trial is key. he's going to assert self-defense, meaning he was in reasonable fear for his life. and so the state, they're going to argue, no, he was just angry. he didn't shoot inside of this suv at these kids because he had to. he did it because he wanted to. he was angry. they were playing this thug music. he referred to them as thugs before that shooting ever happened. and they're saying that he reacted based on a bias that he had towards these kids, not because of fear for his life. >> lisa, that face there, john dunn, a very familiar case to anyone who followed the george zimmerman trial. you've got to wonder what sort of lessons the prosecution may have learned from that trial, the lessons that they might try and apply here. >> right, and that's what the entire first half of my book is about. in my opinion, the state of florida did a terrible job in the george zimmerman case. they missed the key evidence in the case. they argued the evidence that they had very inappropriately. they lost a wi

so now that michael dunn has a lawyer, he now has a story. told through his lawyer, that he thought he saw a shotgun in the car, and felt his life was threatened. but he didn't feel his life was threatened enough to call the police after being in a shootout with dangerous kids who had a shotgun, and were still on the loose, according to his story. a story that he and his lawyer surely will be rewriting as they approach trial. the police say the kids did not have a gun. the killer's lawyer has offered this clever counter to the police. how hard did they look? the lawyer says the kids could have thrown away their shotgun, even though they did not leave the scene, and they and their car were searched by the police. after michael dunn killed jordan davis, he behaved exactly the way a hitman would behave. he fled the scene like a guilty murderer. a guilty murderer who may have had a few too many drinks. last week, jordan davis was very excited about landing a job at mcdonald's. on friday night, his parents got the call that no parent can bear to e
