On November 23, 2012 Michael Dunn fatally shot Jordan Davis at a gas station in Jacksonville, Florida. Police say that Dunn shot and killed Davis over a dispute of loud music. The shooting sparked national attention because it was almost nine months to the day that George Zimmerman fatally shot Trayvon Martin.
Dunn stood trial for the murder of Davis and while the jury found Dunn guilty of 3 counts of attempted murder, they were hung on the murder of Davis. During the trial, we here at Rhetoric Race and Religion collected editorials and essays associated with the trial and now we would like to facilitate a tweet chat on the verdict Monday February 17, 2014 starting at 1:00pm CST. We will use as our hashtag #R3DunnTrial.
