Oct. 17: Michael Dunn, AKA “Loud Music Killer,” Earns Life Sentence

From a commenter: “He wasn’t mortified, he was mad he was on trial. He ASSASSINATED that boy and he ran away from the crime scene! Damn straight he committed murder, murder of a child! I’m glad he’ll spend the rest of his life in prison, I hope he likes it.”

APTOPIX Loud Music Killing

“A Florida man convicted of first-degree murder for fatally shooting a teenager in an argument over loud music outside a Jacksonville convenience store has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.

A life sentence was mandatory for 47-year-old Michael Dunn after prosecutors did not seek the death penalty.

Dunn was convicted of first-degree murder at a second trial in September after jurors deadlocked on the charge at his initial trial in February. Prosecutors say Dunn, who is white, fired 10 times into a sport utility vehicle carrying black teenagers in November 2012, killing 17-year-old Jordan Davis of Marietta, Georgia.” (HuffPost)
