It had to have been. She is all over the place. She is trying to convince the jury that he went into a blind rage over them talking back to him and just started firing. But then she is also trying to say that he methodically premeditated the murder. Which is it?

Objection as she was outlining charges of Attempted murder on other 3

Strolla due to put dfence case soon..

It will make sense of things.

When it's an innocent defendant as in this case, it seems very unfair that the State gets another turn... often talk unsubstantiated BS in that last statement, and there is nothing the defence can do to even point that out to the Jury


I wonder who it will be? Guy I guess.... but perhaps Corey?

LOL, He just pulled the "you can indict a ham sammich" line.

Strolla: we don't have to prove a single thing, state has to disprove justifiable force

Strolla now working to humanize #MichaelDunn, points out he has a name not "the defendant"

Strolla: not a single witness or piece of evidence show any indication of hate or anger from #MichaelDunn

Strolla tells jurors if they let emotion come in to play, it's a "miscarriage of justice"

Strolla now arguing that state's witnesses were less responsive to him bc they have interest in outcome of state

Strolla pointing out inconsistencies w/ state witnesses like whether Tommie Stornes called 911

Long pause right now by Strolla, I think he's demonstrating "3 minutes" it took to call 911 when back at Gate

Strolla paces courtroom, shuffles papers while pausing 3 mins to show time it took teens to call 911

Strolla now circling back to his questions on police investigation: no search of plaza for days

Strolla: canines are trained to find weapons and drugs, why didn't police bring them to the scene?

Strolla: why didn't state's experts do these things? They say it's not their jobs, they rely on 2nd hand info

Strolla: it's ironic that Wolfson said all evidence and witnesses may not fit together

Guy objects to Strolla saying lesser included charges are just bc state knows doesn't have 1st degree.

Strolla: "Truck, truck, truck", JSO searched there but nowhere else for a gun until days later

Strolla says the state did not point out there were dumpsters behind the plaza

Strolla: Why did JSO get pics of the plaza? "Because they knew they messed up"

Strolla: the State "hangs its hat" on Rhonda Rouer

Strolla says Rouer was so emotional that night that her testimony may need to be taken lightly

Strolla: if state's civilian witnesses can have inconsistencies, why cant #MichaelDunn

Strolla: I didn't want to call Ron Davis (#JordanDavis') father, but someone had to answer for what teens saying

Strolla: #MichaelDunn is innocent, and I haven't even started talking about self defense

Strolla: If Leland Brunson "told the truth", there wouldn't be a case here

State can give you "beautiful exhibits", dummies, and slideshows- but that doesn't change the lack of evidence

Strolla: #MichaelDunn wanted to thank the teens for turning the music down, thought they had a misunderstanding

Strolla: you have lack of evidence, conflicts of evidence and reasonable doubt

@Missteahjones he claims problems w/ police investigation and inconsistent testimony, among other things.

Strolla: this shot "defies the law of physics" if #JordanDavis leaning as ME says

@CondessaKeith I'll send out a general tweet... and do my best to tweet you as well.

Strolla: "This isn't the Matrix, bullets don't move", says #JordanDavis' door had to have been open

Strolla now going in to justifiable use of deadly force

Strolla: if you decide there was justifiable use of deadly force, you can't convict #MichaelDunn of anything

Strolla: justifiable force includes an immediate fear of great bodily harm- doesn't even have to be death

Strolla emphasizing to the jury that the state now has a chance to "talk last" and that's not fair, but what they deal with

Strolla: "If I ever gave up law I would be a dentist" because I had to "pull teeth" from the state's witnesses

Strolla circles back once again to beyond a reasonable doubt

Strolla: one lawful, just and righteous verdict, and that's not guilt

There murder here but it is Strolla murdering the state's lack of proof.

Strolla did a brilliant job


Unfortunately, after a 15 minute break... either Guy or Corey get to Fuck it up!

As Strolla just reminded the jury... the State has TWO burdens of proof.

1. The charge(s) against Dunn beyond reasonable doubt = FAIL

2. they have to DISPROVE Self Defence = FAIL

My only worry (as I have said) is that the jury will (wrongly) feel that they have to find him guilty of "something" because a person died.

And so they will opt for a "compromise verdict"

Corey has complicated the verdict decision with a raft of lesser included charges... the Jury may feel "obliged" to pick at least one

I honestly think that the Jury's best course of action is to look at SD...see that the State has NOT disproven it... and so they can bin the rest of the crap on the verdict form.
