The retrial of Michael Dunn is tentative slated for May of this year. In the first trial he was found guilty on 4 of the 5 charges against him. The jury was deadlocked on whether Dunn was guilty of murder. What's your prediction on the verdict in the Michael Dunn retrial?
I think he'll be found guilty for the following reasons:
- Dunn will likely be completely demoralized and will have nothing to fight for. Guilty on attempted murder has him in jail for life regardless. He might even use the second trial as an opportunity to vent/thumb his nose at his critics/express his disdain for "thugs" especially if he's been victimized in some way by fellow inmates by then.
- In jail with no resources means he'll have a low budget public defender representing him.
- The prosecution has the benefit of a dress rehearsal in the first trial and knows what they likely should focus on plus a lot of input from other legal experts who've appeared on TV saying what they missed.
