Within the first hour of deliberations, juror #4, identified only as Valerie, said there was no chance of a murder conviction because two jurors thought Dunn was justified in his actions.
The first thing jurors did when handed the case was turn to page 25 in the jury instructions, she said. The question: Do you believe that Michael Dunn was justified or unjustified in the murder of Jordan Davis?”
“It said if he believed that he had an eminent threat to himself or his fiancee, so that was a thing that those two folks believed – he was frightened and there was no other option for him in regards to Mr. Davis,” Valerie said. “The rest of us were 100 percent sure, you didn’t have to react [with gunfire], you could have had another option.
Justified…2 jurors thought the shooting was justified. Â Unbelievable and incredible.
