Michael Dunn Murder Trial
(You will be able to find all articles about Jordan Davis and the Michael Dunn murder trial under the menu heading “Justice For Jordan Davis”.)
Michael Dunn is charged with 1 count of first degree murder in the shooting death of Jordan Davis, and with 3 counts of attempted murder of the driver and passengers that were in the vehicle along with Jordan.
The jury in the Michael Dunn trial has been selected. The jury consists of 12 individuals and four alternates. The 16 people are six men and 10 women. According to a tweet by Michael Skolnick, the jury make-up is;
Women
5 White
3 Black women
1 Asian woman
1 of Indian descent
Men
5 White men
1 Latino man
Jurors were sequestered tonight and will be sequestered for the duration of the trial.
Opening arguments are scheduled to begin in the morning, Thursday, February 6, 2014. One source reported 9 a.m. and another source reported 10 a.m. I will try to verify the exact time.
News4jax and Wild About Trial should have live streams. I will keep my eyes open for direct live stream links and post them in the comment section.
Let me apologize in advance, because I will not be available to monitor the entire trial and comments because my son is taking me to dinner for my birthday.

The petition, created by someone in California, reads:
Celebrity Boxing Promoter Damon Feldman & George Zimmerman are attempting to promote and profit off of racial tensions in America.
Damon Feldman has been known for fixing fights and taking short cuts in the past in bypassing state requirements for fighters to obtain a license to box.
Mr Feldmans past should be highly considered in this regard if Feldman is not going through the proper channels to ensure the safety of the participants it puts lives at risk.
in addition the entire idea of this event is to use racial tensions to lure people in to purchase the event. this will only hurt America as it will continue to stir up racial tensions that have been on going in this nation for quite some time.
No Promoter or Celebrity Boxer should ever be allowed to use racial tension to profit.

GZ’s father is on a rant against all the “lies” about his son over at the treestump, on the open thread.
Saying that he wasn’t armed with his encounter with Shellie–even though both MOM and Samantha said he was.
That the media lied when it said he got $100K for a painting–the media reported what the final bid was and Z never stated he got less even though many of us think that the high bidder was a fake one.
That the media said in his encounter with Samantha that he used the same pistol used to kill Trayvon and they searched for the handgun when he repeatedly told them the justice department had it–funny everything I read said he used a shotgun to threaten Samantha.
And that GZ is involved in a boxing fight–seems like your son is giving interviews to these places and tweeting about it.
What a delusion family. He blames the media for the feelings towards G and his family–You only need to look no further than the actions of your sons and yourself when you continually post nonsense.

SANFORD – Orlando lawyer Mark O’Mara today took another step away from his most famous client, George Zimmerman, by bowing out of a libel suit against NBCUniversal Media.
O’Mara was co-counsel for Zimmerman when the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer sued the network broadcaster just over a year ago, accusing it of falsely portraying him as racist in five reports.
At the time, Zimmerman had admitted killing Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, but had not been arrested, and the investigation was a major national story.
A few weeks later Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder, but a Seminole County jury acquitted him last year.
His libel suit has sat dormant for 11 months. Both sides agreed last February that they’d do nothing until Zimmerman’s criminal case was closed.
Although his criminal trial is over, the case is still technically open. That’s because O’Mara and co-counsel Don West asked Circuit Judge Debra Nelson to impose sanctions against prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda, accusing him of hiding evidence and creating delays.
Nelson presides over Zimmerman’s libel case as well. She called today’s hearing, saying she’d received a letter from Zimmerman’s main libel lawyer, James Beasley Jr. of Philadelphia, saying there were no pending matters in the criminal case, so it was time to move forward.
O’Mara did not appear in court today, but a lawyer from his firm, Lorna Truett, took part by phone.
The judge asked her if her firm was withdrawing its motion for sanctions, and she said she was unsure.
Based on that, the judge ruled the libel case cannot move forward.
The one piece of business the judge was able to accomplish today was to remove O’Mara, at his request, as one of Zimmerman’s libel lawyers.
O’Mara began distancing himself from Zimmerman a few months after his acquittal, announcing that he would not represent the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer following two separate domestic violence complaints.

towerflower,
Thanks for the news!! So, Zimmerman has to poop or get off the pot, uh? I remember O’Mara saying that it was up to Zimmerman to decide whether or not to move on it.
I tend to think that the sanction hearing is connected with the Kruibos (sp?) lawsuit because it was probably O’Mara’s hope to boot-strap off that. However, an amended complaint was just filed in that case, which is the same as starting over with Corey given time to answer the amended complaint and request dismissal or immunity.

Q: Will you move forward with a motion for sanctions against the state?
A: It’s pending. It’s actually more George’s decision than mine. He’ll let me know if he wants that done. I think he probably spent enough time in a criminal courtroom in

i am so sorry for this young man family. the man that did the shooting was outraged and a racist. the city of florida needs to give one of the white catergories the electric chair for killing our black kids then maybe they will stop perhaps they should hang them like they did our black peoples in slavery maybe then they will wake up and smell all coffees. all I can say is leave blacks alone this is 2014 not 1800’s wake up in florida all over the united states stop this nonsense. it is an outrage. stop being so racist. my mom raised me in Mississippi she raised us very well in Mississippi she taught us how to love one another no matter what color they are white purple blue green pink red must I go on. it sound like that Dunn guy was not raised properly. once again I am so sorry for the family of Jordan Davis. so sorry.

Shirley,
I feel your pain. Personally, I believe that killing is evil and returning evil for evil does not stop evil. Did you see the movie “Monster Ball”? There’s a scene where the Sheriff played by Billy Bob Thorton decided to get on with his life with his new Black girlfriend in whom his bigoted dad had insulted. He placed his dad in a nursing home and it just so happened that his dad’s roommate was a Black man. That’s the way to deal with racial bigots.

I follow this case on Nancy grace she is just great with wanting justice for all. so do I give the Davis family the justice they deserve. their son was gunned down by a racist which is an outrage I am praying that they find Michael Dunn guilty as charged.

Welcome to Blackbutterfly7.
Although Florida does have the death penalty, it’s not a death penalty case. In agreement with you for justice for Jordan, here’s hoping that jury sees the facts and evidence clearly and finds Dunn guilty as charged.
