The Case of Michael Dunn

When you said that, were you looking at him or were you looking at him now? Moving down I said that while I was retrieving my gun, could you show the jury exactly what you did right? If we say here's my glove compartment, I'm looking out the window and I said you're not going to kill me, motherfucker, and I shot right, and do you even remember how many times you shot? I did not do it. He was in a fixed position with tunnel vision. I didn't realize the SUV was moving. It was still aiming at the rear passenger and it didn't register that the car was backing up properly and at some point you realize there is no more red door in front of your face.

This is where Rhonda starts to come to mind because I know she heard the shots, I know. rhonda um it wasn't just my life that I was worried about now and at some point you see the SUV actually drive in a different direction or try to drive away it did and this is where um now they are back If they shoot me they will hit the front door and this is where Rhonda comes out. What was your purpose in shooting towards the rear of that vehicle? I was worried about a blind shooting situation where they would know they were shooting over their heads. or whatever and uh he hit me or hit me and rhonda I stopped shooting when it looked like the threat was over and how long had you been with Miss Rower three and a half years four did you have a serious relationship with her absolutely she's my fiancé, Were you living with her yesterday at that time?

Yeah, we were fine, was this dog your boy's son? Yeah, he's okay, um, and what was his name, his name is Charlie. The accused was moved by his supposed bravery and eternal love for his partner. and now he accelerates this emotion for the purpose of expressing how much he loves his pet in his mind, he is exhibiting attractive human traits to the jury, presenting himself as a man of clear nobility and altruism who only protected the woman he loves from a perceived imminent threat. . and at the same time is a gentle soul who sheds a tear at the mere thought of his beloved pup, the point is that the defendant only has tunnel vision regarding himself and his own perspective, the jury, on the other hand, will look the big picture.

Instead of perceiving this emotion from the point of view that the accused wants, they may see it as an artificial and narcissistic attempt to elevate his own character. Now he has shown the jury that he has the type of personality to get emotional and this emotion comes out as himself. -describes her brave demeanor and gentle spirit, but did not show a shred of emotion when describing the exact moment she took the life of a young man in the patrol yes, I'm sorry, you love her very much, right, yes, sir, I do I do well and when she got into it. car she asked him what happened right yes sir sir is she telling this jury that on the way back to the hotel she told Rhonda Rower that the boys in the car had a gun?

Yes I told him on the way to the hotel, I told him several times in the hotel I told him several times on the way home that this was self-defense that was not my question from the moment you left the boarding station to the moment you You returned to the Sheraton, how many times did you use the word? gun to describe what the boys let me finish with the boys in the car hat I couldn't tell you it was more than one at least one Mr. Dunn the truth is that you never told the love of your life that those boys had a gun Weren't you over there?

Did you tell him I said you weren't there? I understand that I know the truth is that you never told Ronda Rouer that they had a gun. That is incorrect. Remember to speak loudly into the microphone so everyone can hear you. right, yes, sir, okay, Miss Wolfson, when she walked out the door of the gas station and got into the defendant's car. Yes, did the defendant ever tell you that he saw a gun in that red SUV? No, did the defendant ever tell you that he saw a weapon of any kind in that truck? No, a stick was not mentioned, no, a shotgun was not mentioned, a cannon was not mentioned, a lead pipe was not mentioned, no. , in the hotel room, Miss T-shirt, that's exactly what.

Did the defendant ever tell you that he saw the children with a firearm? No, did he ever tell you that he saw the kids with a gun? No, on the two-hour drive the next morning, did the defendant ever tell you that he saw a gun? not the suv and on that two hour drive, did he ever tell you that he saw a weapon of any kind in that suv no on february 15, 2014
