Michael Dunn Gets Life for Killing Jordan Davis (JCS)
Michael David Dunn, 45, a software developer, was convicted of first-degree murder on October 1, 2014, for shooting 17-year-old Jordan Russell Davis in Jacksonville, Florida, and was sentenced on October 17, 2014, to life without parole plus 105 years. Dunn and his fiancee Rhonda Rouer had stopped at a Gate gas station on Southside Boulevard on November 23, 2012, while traveling from a wedding to their hotel. Four teenagers in a Dodge Durango parked beside them were playing loud music. Dunn asked them to turn it down, Davis asked for it to be turned back up, and the two argued. Dunn took a handgun from his glove compartment and fired repeatedly into the SUV, hitting Davis in the legs, lungs and aorta. He fired again as the vehicle pulled away. No weapon was found in the Durango. Dunn and Rouer drove to their hotel and ordered pizza. He did not call police. The next morning, Rouer saw a news report that Davis had died. Dunn later said he had phoned a neighbour in law enforcement, but phone records did not support that. After a witness reported his licence plate, Dunn was arrested at his home in Satellite Beach, Florida, on the morning of November 24, 2012. Dunn told investigators Davis had threatened him with a gun or a stick. Neither Rouer nor investigators corroborated that account. He was charged with first-degree murder, three counts of attempted second-degree murder and firing into an occupied vehicle. At his first trial, from February 3 to 15, 2014, the jury convicted him on the attempted-murder and firing counts but deadlocked on the murder charge after more than 30 hours. A mistrial was declared on that count. A retrial began with jury selection on September 22, 2014, and ended with the murder conviction. The First District Court of Appeal rejected his appeal on November 17, 2016, and the Florida Supreme Court declined review on June 22, 2020. The video is a narrated analysis by JCS - Criminal Psychology and runs about 57 minutes. It covers the shooting, the recorded jail calls and the police interview, with narration discussing the suspect's behavior and the detectives' technique over interview-room footage. It is not raw footage.
