He's off the streets but the jury says he didn't murder the boy? How would you like to be the family hearing that? Sorry, but this family deserves justice in its fullest form and attempted murder for shooting at the car is not justice for them. So, I'd rather see my money being "wasted" for a another murder trial than just be satisfied he is off the streets. I sincerely doubt Dunn even remotely understands that what he did was wrong and now he has a jury vindicating that murder.

Personally, I think the Zimmermann verdict got a lot of folks thinking they could literally get away with murder in Florida. All they have to do is claim they felt they were in danger (popcorn in the face, a made-up shotgun and so on). Fortunately, trials like this with long sentences may get some to understand that stand your ground doesn't give you the right to shoot when someone gets you angry. It takes a lot more than that. Here's hoping.

But justice was not served.
