jordan davis. dunn's sentencing hearing is expected to take place next month. state attorney angela corey said that her office plans to retry dunn on the first-degree murder charge. jordan davis' mother voiced her gratitude and her disappointment saturday night. >> we're so grateful for the truth. we're so grateful that the jurors were able to understand the common sense of it all. and we will continue to stand, and we will continue to wait for justice for jordansterday. for more on the verdict and fallout, i'm joined by criminal defense and civil rights attorney john burris, and msnbc contributor and director of africa studies at lehigh university, james peterson. james, the lack of a verdict on the top count of first-degree murder, what message does that send? >> it's con founding, craig. first, thank you for pointing out the fact that we should probably not refer to this as the "loud music trial." the loud music was used to once again criminalize a young black man. i think that's one of the more unfortunate aspects of these cases. i was try sog explain to students this verdict -- trying to explain to students this verdict. the best way to explain it is that we understand that mr. dunn saw the menacing sort of dangerous black young men sitting in their ca minding their business, playing their music too loudly. i have to submit to my students that for some reason members of that jury believed his story and also believed the fact that for some

jordan and it was unlawful. because otherwise if you leave it, then you killed jordan and it was okay that you killed jordan. >> exactly. >> reporter: and ron davis has another more surprising goal in mind. >> i would like michael dunn to put me on his visitor list in prison. i would like to go see him. >> reporter: what would you say? >> i don't know yet. that's a good question. but i want to look at him eyeball to eyeball when all is said and done. but one thing that i know that we will talk about is, i have to try to make you understand what you've taken away from our family. >> the homicide detectives are going to tell you that's not protocol. >> reporter: michael dunn's lawyer told us tonight that meeting will never happen. his client will likely live the rest of his life in prison. and for so many tonight, it feels as if america's long divide over race and justice will outlive us all. for "nightline," i'm byron pitts in new york. >> byron, thank you for that interview and report. what do you think? did the system fail jordan davis? tweet us at "nightline." next, there are always too many cooks in the kitch

jordan davis' mom, you could see her with the head down. michael dunn's father also had his head down, and once the verdicts were read, you could see everybody get up and from the jordan davis family, everybody got up, and you could see some of them were holding hands and hugging, and visibly, v visibly distraught, emotionally distraught as they were leaving the courtroom, don. >> thank you, alina machado, and sunny hostin has been covering this in the courtroom as well. what did you witness? >> yeah, you know, i have had the opportunity to speak to leyland brunson's father, and some of the other family members, and they were absolutely devastated by this verdict. when lucie mcbath, jordan's po ther, her knees buckled and her family members had to help her. as a mother of a black boy, i am so afraid of what this verdict says. you just heard a car driving by and doi and doing a loop yelling "not guilty" and it is unblooelievab that the value of a black boy's life does not exist when a situation like this occurs. i am just as devastated for these families as anyone. leyland brunson's father made it very clear while they were pleased with a guilty verdict as to the attempted murder of the son, and they were here for the davis family, because they lost their son, and they were here for justice for jordan davis, and again, just like the zimmerman case, justice took the day off. there is no justice for jordan davis' family, and think and it, even if they retry the case, again, this family has to go through this over and over and over again. and when i take my lawyer hat off and i understand that, when i put on the mommy hat on, and i cannot believe this has happened again. i am

jordan had a gun still comes down and that's -- that's the issue. people still believe that about jordan because they didn't know jordan, they didn't see jordan like i'ven jordan and that's the difference and until we can level the playing field truly the scales of justice will be tipped. >> i will allow you both to have the final word here. you have said -- you said on saturday and we've heard you again and again, you want justice for your son. what is justice for jordan davis? >> justice for jordan will be ultimately really when we change the laws, because that will be not just justice for jordan and justice for trayvon and for all the children at sandy hook and justice for aurora and justice for virginia tech and the navy yard, it will be justice for everyone that has suffered because of these laws and will continue to suffer so once the laws are changed, that's the ultimate justice for all. >> and for me i'm in constant contact with tracy martin, trayvon's father and i text sabrina all the time and i just want to let them know that every time i get justice for jordan it's going to be justice for trayvon for us and the ultimate justice for me -- i w

memorialize jordan and more but we cannot tolerate victimization of victims by false representations unauthorized use of his likeliness. using jordan for publicity and profit and outright deception now it's true that this event could have been innocently promoting information about the current state of stand your ground laws in florida and that they really are planning to donate the revenue earned from those t. shirt sales but something that is equally true is that the fact that there has been over the past few years case after case where people are using the names of deceased family members from newtown school shooting as for instance or from the boston marathon bombing to set up fraudulent websites to make money for themselves so when events or websites pop up with the faces of victims on them without the family's permission it's no wonder why they say they feel victimized for a second time. all right before we go don't forget to tune in at nine pm to larry king now tonight's guest is meatloaf one of america's legends in the world of rock here's a look at what's to come tell me your endorsement of mitt romney you've never entered

jordan davis. >> for the shooting death of 17-year-old -- >> jordan davis. >> jordan davis. >> jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict on the charge of first-degree murder. >> prosecutors say there will be a retrial. >> retrying the case is something that we've all had to do. >> dunn maintained he shot in self-defense. >> he thought he saw the barrel of a gun. >> police never found a weapon. >> this was a mixed verdict. >> the jury did find dunn guilty on three counts of second-degree attempted murder. and one count of firing into the vehicle. >> dunn fired ten rounds. >> three of those shots killed 17-year-old jordan davis. >>> on saturday the man who shot and killed jordan davis was convicted on three counts of second-degree attempted murder. michael dunn, who fired ten times at the car jordan davis and three of his friends were riding in, will be sentenced to at least 60 years in prison on those three convictions for attempted murder. for michael dunn, who is 47 years old, that is effectively a life sentence. the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict on the charge of first-degree murder of j

jordan davis was sitting in his car seat with the door closed, with nothing in his hands. and he was leaning over, away from the gunfire, toward leland bronson. jordan davis didn't have a weapon, he had a big mouth. and that defendant wasn't going to stand for it, and it cost jordan davis his life. this case is not about self-defense, it's about self-denial. >> this case centers on one question, will the jury believe mr. dunn was really in fear? at the heart of this case is the controversial stand your ground law that says you can use deadly force if you feel threatened. the law became a national controversy after george zimmerman was acquitted in the killing of unarmed trayvon martin seven months ago. and now seven months later, a jury is right now discussing that same self-defense claim in the state of florida. today the jury asked four questions of the judge. they asked to see the gas station video that was shown in court. it's 20 minutes of footage from multiple angles. they also asked to see the dummy used by the prosecution to illustrate where jordan was shot. the judge did not allow them to see this because it wasn't entered into evidence. and they had additional request. a dry easel or large paper, which they received, some missing pages from one juror's

jordan the trial didn't reveal. and what would you say to his murderer if you had the opportunity? >> something about jordan is that jordan was very competitive. he was a leader of his friends. you know, whenever he had friends in atlanta and friends in jacksonville. and where it was determining where they would go tomorrow, he was always the determining factor. jordan was competitive with me. he wanted to beat his dad in all sports, games, play station, whatever it was. whether it be playing risk on the computer. if i said look at world war ii dvds, he would sit with me and comment on world war ii. most kids that age wouldn't care about world war 2, but because i cared about it, he cared about it. that's what i have to say about jordan. if i was in front of michael dunn, i would have to say you have to understand, sir, that everybody that you tell to cut down their music is not going to do it. and sometimes they don't do it, that doesn't mean you have to take their life. you know? i've heard it since the trial that there's other people that you've asked to turn the music down and you thought -- and they did it. so then y

jordan davis, was killed. today dramatic testimony from the three teens who were in the car with jordan davis when he died. >> what happened to jordantommy storns was backing up? did he stay silent? >> i tried to pull him down. but when i put him down, he just fell into my lap. >> how did you first learn that jordan davis had been shot? >> when tommy began to call our names, me and leland replied, but jordan didn't. we found out jordan was hit, that's when everybody went into panic. >> did you touch anything that led you to believe he had been shot? >> yes. >> what? >> when i reached -- when i reached and touched him, blood appeared on my fingers. >> if you met jordan and know jordan, he had a big heart like this. you know you can get a vibe of what type of person he was. >> some emotional testimony for the jury today. meantime, the cases on both sides are starting to take shape. the defense claimed jordan davis, who was 17 years old, had a gun. but the prosecution points out that a gun was never found. >> jordan davis threatened michael dunn with a shotgun barrel sticking out of the window or a lead pipe. whatever it was that is a

>> jordan angle. >> jordan, may i? >> we can't comment. >> okay. >> we can't comment on public comment. >> okay. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> any other members of the public? >> don't leave just yet. >> seeing none, public comment is closed next item. >> takes us to item three, approval of the january, 27th, 2014, regular meeting minutes this is an action item. >> motion? >> motion to approve item number 3? >> i move. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> next item? >> takes us to item four, presentation of a small business commission certificate of honor recognizing commission luke o'brien for more than four years on the service. >> commissioner cannot be here and asked if we would postpone to february 24th? >> i would like a motion that we move this item to the next meeting? >> second. >> so moved. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> next item. >> brings us to item five, discussion and possible action to make recommendations to the board of supervisors, on board of supervisors file number 1 31205 planning

here's the rest of my interview with jordan's parents. >> i was talking to jordan's aunt i believe it was yesterday. she said one thing about jordanoved all kinds of music. >> he did. >> country music. he knew it all. >> he did. >> and it made me wonder, if they were playing country music -- >> i don't think it would have happened. >> you don't think it would have happened? >> not at zblaul it would have changed michael dunn's perception? >> of who they were. >> if they were blasting country music -- >> it wouldn't have happened. not at all. >> there were tinted windows. he really didn't get a good look at them. he wouldn't have thought anything about it. but to him as he stated on the stand, rap crap. that's his perception. >> do you have confidence in a new trial? do you have confidence that there can be justice? >> i think we do. there will be more evidence brought to light that was not admissible before. and so if anyone is unsure of who michael dunn is, at this point he's completely being exposed. and i think that people will really begin to understand his mindset. and really understand where he was at that moment. and i thin

immortalized jordan and more we cannot tolerate victimization of breakdowns by false representations of un authorized use of his likely nest using jordan for publicity and profits and outright deception. now it's true that this offence could have been innocently promoting information about the current status and your grandma's in florida and that they really are planning to donate the revenue earned from those t shirts and us but something that is equally true is that the fact that there has been over the past few years. case after case where people aren't using the names of deceased family members from newtown school shooting as france and are from the boston marathon bombing to stop fraudulent web sites make money for themselves solely events are websites pop up with the faces of victims on them without the family's permission. it's no wonder why they say they feel victimized for second time. i write before we go don't forget to tune in at nine pm to larry king now what's next guest is that meatloaf one of america's legends in the world of rock here's a look at what's to come. tell me your endless whom it were me you'd never entered

jordan. and mr. jordan, you are very popular. i'm glad that i don't have to run against you because you have a lot of fans out there. but i think the fact that your fellow residents are coming to speak on your behalf as a testament to you and i think it would make you extremely effective. with respect to seat 2, i'm not sure why the applicant is not here, sam pattel. i'm not sure if it would be appropriate for us to move forward or not. that's an open question. with respect to seat 4, i was definitely very impressed with amelia rudberg and i think she has the qualifications to do a good job. with respect to seat 5, joshua vining sent us a letter that he could not be here for special reasons. i'm familiar with his work and those who know him know hao he's a tremendous advocate and i would like to make sure he's appointed. seat 7, angela chu. i think it's a no brainer. we need to make sure she continues to serve. for seat 8, i guess we don't have an applicant right now. so we are going to have to continue it. for seat 9, again i th

jordan davis outside a gas station in jacksonville. today would be jordan's 19th birthday. that shooting over the argument and jordan's mother emotionally sharing reaction to the verdict after it was handed down. >> we are so grateful for the charges that have been brought against him. we are so grateful for the truth. we are so grateful that the jurors were able to understand the common sense of it all. and we will continue to stand and we will continue to wait for justice for jordan. >> as i mentioned jordan was unarmed. obviously dunn was. they dismissed suggestions that they overreached that first-degree murder charge. >> someone fires ten shots into a car full of unarmed teenagers we will file first-degree murder. premeditation doesn't require a specific length of time. >> the prosecutors say they were correct in including the charge initially and saying they do plan to retry dunn on that charge. still he faces at least 60 years in prison on the first four convictions handed down yesterday. >> jamie, nuclear safety officials not given the all clear after a radiation leak in a waste sight in new mexico. the air mo

jordan a $1 billion loan guarantee fund that will help jordan access the international capital markets, as well as extend for five years the memorandum of understanding that we have with the kingdom of jordan that allows that country to pursue the kind of development that will not only help the people of jordan but help the region as a whole. our cooperation on a whole host of issues is extensive. we're going to be talking a lot about the political changes that are taking place in the region. obviously, a central focus will be the situation in syria. and the people of jordan have been very generous in absorbing hundreds of thousands of displaced persons from that war-ravaged country. it puts a great strain on the resources of jordan and it's very important for us to make sure that we're supportive of the kingdom in accommodating all these refugees. at the same time, both of us recognize that we can't just treat the symptoms. we'll be working aggressively at the united nations level and at the regional level to try to provide basic humanitarian assistance and access to people who are suffering tremendously as a consequence of the war inside of syria. but we're also going to have to solve th

jordan davis' friends were. jordan davis' mother says the conviction on those attempted charge s gives her a small sens of closure. >> i will continue to stand and we will continue to await for justice for jordan. >> reporter: the sound of the shooting a year and a half ago. >> somebody is shooting. >> reporter: were captured on surveillance videos at the convenience store. dunn complained music from their vehicle was too loud. then he says he saw what looked like a gun pointed at him. >> quicker than a flash, i had a round chambered in it and i shot. >> reporter: deputies recovered dunn's pistol but never found a weapon in the boys' car. on just the attempted murder charges, dunn faces up to 60 years in prison. >> he will learn that he must be remorseful for the killing of my son, that it was not just another day at the office. >> reporter: some believe this mistrial and the high profile acquittal of george zimmerman in the shooting death of trayvon martin is a direct result of stand your ground. >> stand your ground? he was entitled if the jury believes he was threatened to take the gun out of the glove compartment, shoot and fire at jordan davis. >> reporter: if he were still alive, jordan

jordan davis had been shot? >> when tommy began to call our names. me and lee replied but jordan didn't. when we found out jordann everybody went into a panic. >> did you touch anything that led you to believe he had been shot? >> yes. >> what? >> when i reached -- when i reached and touched him, blood appeared on my fingers. >> if you met jordan, know jordan, he had a big heart. just meeting him, you know you can get a vibe of what type of person he was. >> joining me now, former prosecutor faith jenkins and michael skolnik. thank you for joining me. >> thank you. >> i want to start with you, michael. let's talk about the premise of this case. as i noted in the opening, there are some similarities and some important differences in this case. you do have an unarmed teenager who was shot. you had the invoking of stand your ground, although now it's really the self-defense laws that are being, i think, more closely scrutinized. talk to us about the premise of this case and why people are making these comparisons. >> sure. i think the biggest comparison here, obviously you have two black unarmed teenagers and two n

and we look at jordan, jordan will spend the cost of the refugee presence. spent $2.5 billion. , theding to the world bank international committee has not been showing enough support for these countries. they need not only the refugees themselves, the countries themselves and their problems. this is no longer a problem, it is a developed problem. it is unacceptable. some are being pushed back from other borders. they should be able to find safety with no problems. it is necessary for all of our borders to be open. a mission.sary for visa should be more opportunities for syrians around the world. there should be financial show thebut also refugee company -- problem is not just a responsibility. the majority will be there. the others will be able to share the burden. [applause] it were an issue of mandates. i wish there were an overarching mandate for humanitarian mandates. i wish this trumped the political. i go to negotiate with the syrian government, they have my mandate in front of me. it says the sovereignty of the state. to get to those people who are no

jordan. from northern jordan our correspondent reports. >> since the syrian refugee crisis began, the jordanian government built camps like this one. it also wanted to avoid these informal settlements set up by the refugees themselves. >> here, hundreds of families left the camp to live on privately owned land. she says she's poor and this man prefers to live in a tent to living amongst strangers. >> translation: i don't have $300 to rent a flat. i'm not getting $70 a month to spend on food. it's better to live in a tent than a landlord who pants their money. >> this is a bedouin position to help and protect relatives. that is what this jordanian man is doing. >> i gave them land to build the tents. i have built bathroom and a shower and make sure assistance is distributed. >> it helps, but there are fewer services. men have to buy their own water. >> it's fine. in change for the freedom and security and familiarity that they get. most refugees who left the camp to live in tents say returning is not an option. it's because refugees from the province make up the majority and the refugees do not feel comfortable. >> a bedouin from homs says she's used to a nomadic lifestyle. >> translation: there are differences between us and those who live in refugee camps. they are farmers, we are beddoe wince. we can't live together. we can only live with our own people. >> these sentiments have sprung up over jordan. the fost is tolerant. but there are limits. >> people that up land without authorisation or approval to do so or families not properly registered through the government registration system. >> in those cases the government declared it will take action. >> jordan is the largest host action. the number of those coming from syria is likely to rise. >> u.s. authorities say the mexican drug lord known assel chappo was captured with the help of members of his cartel. the mexican government is producing the arrest as a victory. >> the web of tunnels linking several homes allows guzman to evate capture. when he left them behind, the risk multiplied. he was found in a small apartment. they found an arsenal of grenades, rocket launchers and guns. he was unable to get to them. on the run for 13 years and still the boss of the largest criminal organise air, he seemed almost too powerful to catch. that leant him almost a mystical character. it led to songs about his evading the law and about his

jordan as a person? >> yes, i want them to talk more about jordan as a person. the only pitcher that the jury saw of jordan was an id picture, which is very generic. i would like to see the picture showing on your show. this is jordan davis when he is with his friends, father. he talked a lot about michael dunn and how calm a guy he was and all of that. so they were trying to get a connection with the jury with michael dunn. but nobody put a connection with jordan davis, you know, and he is the victim in all of this. >> now, john, as a lawyer, what do you hope to see from the prosecutors in the next trial? and are you going to be in touch with the prosecutors in giving your views from the family? >> absolutely. we're going to be a little more vocal this time. you know, the prosecutor tried a good case if the law was fair. if the law was equal and jurors viewed a white businessman and a young black teen on the same wavelength. but the scales are a little bit tipped against the young black teen, you know, the thug. it's okay to be a little bit afraid, a little bit of apprehensive in america of the young blac

jordan. and mr. jordan, you are very popular. i'm glad that i don't have to run against you because you have a lot of fans out there. but i think the fact that your fellow residents are coming to speak on your behalf as a testament to you and i think it would make you extremely effective. with respect to seat 2, i'm not sure why the applicant is not here, sam pattel. i'm not sure if it would be appropriate for us to move forward or not. that's an open question. with respect to seat 4, i was definitely very impressed with amelia rudberg and i think she has the qualifications to do a good job. with respect to seat 5, joshua vining sent us a letter that he could not be here for special reasons. i'm familiar with his work and those who know him know hao he's a tremendous advocate and i would like to make sure he's appointed. seat 7, angela chu. i think it's a no brainer. we need to make sure she continues to serve. for seat 8, i guess we don't have an applicant right now. so we are going to have to continue it. for seat 9, again i think we have great applicants, but for me what's compelling about seat 9 is that i do think that it's important to have a perspective of someone who is living in a private sro and somebody living in a neighborhood which i happen to represent 16th and mission that has a number of challenges. i think the fact that ms. frost man spoke about the application of ms. alexander, speaks very highly of the kind of member that she would be. so that would be my suggestion. >>supervisor norman yee: okay. supervisor tang? >>supervisor katy tang: i'm glad that we are in agreement. i echo supervisor campos comments. for seat 2, i don't know if any members of my committee have heard from mr. pattel or received correspondence so i have not. i would be okay with delaying that particular appointment but move with the rest. >>supervisor norman yee: thank you. let me separate these things out. for seat 2 and seat 8 i would like to continue the item. >> so moved. >> without objection the motion passes. for seat 4 and 5, the candidates amelia rudberg and joshua vining would need a residency waiver. so somebody would like to move that? okay. no objection, motion passes. so i think this is what i'm hearing. that we would like to appoint dan jordan to seat 1, nicollette alexander to seat 9, amelia rudberg to seat 4, joshua vining to seat 5 and angela chu to seat 7. is that correct? >> that's correct. >> someone wants to make a motion? the motion passes. thank you. i have to go back to item no. 4. there was a procedural error on my part. so, i forgot to ask for residency waiver. and so i would like to rescind. can someone make a motion to rescind the motion? >> so moved. >> no objection. the motion passes. so would somebody like to make a motion for lily wong to be in seat 1 and winnie yu for seat 2. we have to make the motion to do the residency waiver first? >> so moved. >> motion passes." okay. make a motion for seats. >> make a motion for lily yu wong. seat 1, winnie yu seat 2 and dion jay book ter seat 4. >>supervisor norman yee: madam clerk, anymore items? >> the clerk: that concludes the agenda for this >> good afternoon and welcome to the san francisco local agency formation commission. today is january 24, 2014, >> i wou

jordan davis, jordan russell davis, 17 forever. as they had done so many times the two young men were side by side. and because of that defendant it was for the very last time. >> the jury was left with that final point, a jury in a court of law is now deciding whether michaelal dunn should be held criminally responsible for that death. if convicted dunn could face life in prison. back with us tonight is former prosecutor faith jenkins and florida criminal defense lawyer, ken patowitz. you thought michael dunn was in trouble last night. at the closing arguments today what do you think? >> i think he still has a big problem. he is in big trouble. the reason is kind of like a key. this jury has the key to unlock the truth here. and the unlocking comes from the mind of mr. dunn. when he gets into that car after firing ten shots and he drives away and he says nothing to his fiance. he says nothing about a gun or seeing a gun or seeing a weapon. and that right there, i believe, is the key for this jury to unlock what was in the mind of mr. dunn and to show that he really wasn't reasonably in fear and not in fear and therefore he is guilty to one of the murder charges, first degree murder or the lesser included crimes of second degree murder or manslaughter. >> faith, you hear in the summations or final arguments by the defense, they played very heavily to the jury on the elements of the stand your ground law and that he could act with deadly force if he had reasonable fear. he absolutely said there was a gun but there has never been a gun found. there has never been anyone to corroborate a gun outside of dunn himself and his girlfriend said he never mentioned a gun who road with him from the scene. is this enough in stand your ground for him to say this without corroborating evidence at all that he had reason to be in this fear. is it enough to say i had that fear? >> it is enough. he can say and argue that he was in fear but the second step is it has to be reasonable. the problem i think here is his defense attorney, he was really backed into a corner because dunn got on the witness stand and said there was a gun. not i think i saw a gun or i saw something that looked like a gun. he said there was a gun. when he gave closing arguments he had to go with that despite no corroborating evidence and despite his fiance being the best witness for the state to say there was no gun because dunn would have told his fiance there was a gun. i think the state hammered down why this is pre-meditated first degree murder. dunn didn't say don't shoot. he said how dare you talk to me like that. and then all the steps he took, ten steps to get the gun, unlock the glove compartment, fire it, aim it and how direct and accurate he was at aiming at those kids bodies. he didn't shoot at the tires or the air, he shot directly where the kids were sitting. they made a compelling case for pre-medka pre-meditated first degree murder. >> during closing arguments dunn's defense attorney made that clear. he doubled down on him. watch this. >> michael dunn was not engaged in an unlawful activity and was attacked in a place where he had the right to be, a public parking lot, asking for a common courtesy, saying thank you, trying to tell the guy i said thank you. he had no duty to intrigue and had the right to stand his ground and meet force with force including deadly force. >> that is a high standard, ken, for them to prove. >> absolutely. when you don't have the facts on your side you have to go to the law. this defense attorney did a very good job, i believe, in representing his client. he focused on where they through were inconsistencies in testimonies. he focused on the fact that there may have been a gun and the gun was potentially discarded during the minutes when the vehicle was away from the scene of the shooting. the reality is the defense attorney has to go back to the stand your ground law and hopefully argue to the jury that his client was merely defending himself and standing the ground. the problem, again, when the jury takes a look at the facts it is reasonable to expect everyone would expect that he would say to his fiance as he drove away after firing his gun ten times and not calling 911 it would be reasonable to say i saw a gun and that is why i fired. he didn't say that. so the defense attorney can argue all he wants stand your ground. if the jury looks at the evidence common sense dictates there should be a conviction in this trial. >> faith, you could also call this the three-minute defense case because a key argument from the defense was that the teen stashed a gun somewhere when the suv briefly left the gas station parking lot immediately after the shooting. watch this. >> that truck was gone for three minutes. there was no weapons found in that truck in that three minutes. where was that truck? it left the scene. did the three gentlemen in the cartel the police where they stopped? nope. did they tell the police they got out of the car and started getting stuff out of the back or stagging stuff as was put on 911 that night? no. >> is it reasonable for the jury to say, well, there is some reasonable doubt about the raising of the three minutes? >> well, they wanted to focus on the police investigation and how poor it was because they didn't accurately investigate the scene that night. well, the reason why is because dunn fled the scene and never told them about the allegation that a gun was pointed at him until the very next day. so the police didn't have the opportunity or the mindset or the wherewithal to know there would be a gun in that location allegedly. and then, as you can see what the prosecutors did on rebuttal they said where was dunn in those three minutes? he left and went to the hotel and had a pizza and walked the dog and a rum and coke. those kids fled because they were being fired upon and came right back to the scene because they knew that is where they could get help. >> now, when you look at the fact that the prosecution hammered away at the words that michael dunn used to describe these teens, words like gangster and thug, watch this and tell me the significance of the prosecutor focusing on dunn's use of these terms. >> gangsteres, that's a telling word, label, that he used to describe the people, gangster. s jordan davis, 17-year-old high school student is a gangster now because the music was up loud. thugs. he said in his interview, thugs waiting for the thugs to come back. really? you have met them now. it's your call. are any of them thugs or gangster? >> so tell me the significance of the prosecutor continuing to hammer away at the use of the term thug and gangster to the jury? >> it is extremely significant. it shows that what was in the mind of the defendant. he was angry. he was upset. he decided to come judge, jury, executioner and went for the gun and started firing ten times as the vehicle attempted to leave and pull away with the teenagers inside. it shows ill will, spite, evil intent which is the basis for second degree murderer and could be argued that it shows why there was a motive for premeditation and first degree murdererer. motive is not an element of the crime of first degree murder. every jury wants to be able to piece together the story so that they can understand when they

jordan's room, she confesses to occasionally wearing his prized air jordans. >> it makes me feel he was with me. >> reporter: the only thing she cherishes more is a photo taken on an early christmas gift jordan an ipad. >> this was the night before he was murdered. in his bedroom in jacksonville with his friend. this was the very last picture we have of him. >> reporter: this was probably the most difficult day of the trial for the family because it was the medical examiner that took the stand. you have the graphic images and a clinical description by a doctor of how are you child died. they had to leave the courtroom. it was the first time they were not in court. tomorrow michael dunn himself may take the stand. >> martin, thank you. i want to bring in trayvon martin's family attorney. and ben, let me start with you. trayvon martin case he quickly became a first name across the country. the president, you know, said if i had a son he would look like trayvon. now, frankly, as martin said jordan davis gets referred to as the black teenager shot by the white hand. i wonder if you see perils between these cases. part of the reason that trayvon martin became a household name is people like you m
