Jury asks to see surveillance footage and mannequin
If found guilty of first-degree murder, Michael Dunn faces up to life in prison
(CNN) -- The jury weighing the fate of a white Florida man accused of killing a black teen during an
argument over loud music concluded its second day of deliberations Thursday after asking a judge
for details about a letter written in the months after the shooting.
The jury was scheduled to resume deliberations Friday at 9 a.m. ET.
The question was the latest posed by the jury considering the evidence in the case against Michael
Dunn, who says he acted in self-defense when he opened fire on four teenagers in an SUV in
Jacksonville in November 2012.
Prosecutors contend it was an act of murder. Dunn has been charged with first-degree murder in the
killing of 17-year-old Jordan Davis. He also has been charged with three counts of attempted
murder. If Dunn is found guilty, he faces up to life in prison.
The questions came during the second day of deliberations in a case that has drawn parallels to the
trial of George Zimmerman in the killing of teenager Trayvon Martin, which also had racial
overtones and claims of self-defense.
Jury questions
Among the requests from the jury was to see surveillance video from the gas station where Dunn
shot Davis.
The video contains 20 minutes of footage from multiple angles, though a shorter version showing
only one angle was slated to be shown in court.

2. The jurors posed another question later in the day: "Can we get that dummy with the sticks?" -- a
reference to a flexible mannequin and three dowels used to demonstrate the angles of the bullets as
they entered Davis' body.
Judge Russell Healey said he'd grant the request if both the prosecution and defense agreed, but
after examining the dummy, defense attorney Cory Strolla said he felt the dowels in the body had
been repositioned and objected to the jury seeing it again.
Then the jury asked the judge when the letter was written. The answer: June 2013.
In closing arguments Wednesday, prosecutors said inconsistencies between Dunn's words and
actions undermined his assertion he acted in self-defense when he fatally shot the teen.
His attorney countered the state failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt his client was guilty. He
pleaded with jurors to find Dunn not guilty.
In testimony Tuesday, Dunn said he fired in self-defense after the teen threatened him with a gun.
"My intent was to stop the attack, not necessarily end a life," he said. "It just worked out that way."
Defendant says he was 'crazy with grief'
'There was no gun'
But Assistant State Attorney Erin Wolfson said Wednesday that Dunn's claims don't add up.
She noted that Dunn fired 10 shots at the SUV, three of them while the car was fleeing.
He never took cover -- but instead opened his car door -- even though he would later tell detectives
he had seen a weapon, she said.
"There was no gun," Wolfson told jurors.
In addition, she said, he did not tell his fiancee, Rhonda Rouer, that he had seen a weapon until more
than a month later.
Dunn also left the scene of the shooting, went back to a hotel where they were staying and walked
his dog, she said.
And he returned the next day to his house -- more than two hours away -- all without calling 911,
Wolfson said.
"This defendant didn't tell anyone because he thought he had gotten away with murder," she said,
adding that Dunn had no idea a witness had taken down his tag number.
Opinion: Did Florida shooter make his case on the stand?
'Rap crap'
Dunn has testified he described the music to his fiancee as "rap crap."

3. In the parking lot, as the music blared, "his blood started to boil; he didn't like the music that was
coming out of the car next to him; he got angrier and angrier," Wolfson said.
Dunn rolled down his window and asked the youths to turn it down, which they did, but then turned
it back up, Wolfson said.
"He got angry at the fact that a 17-year-old kid decided not to listen to him," she said, adding that
Dunn then pulled a 9 mm gun out of his glove box and shot "systematically and methodically" at the
SUV. "Nobody denied that Jordan was talking back. But this defendant took it upon himself to
silence Jordan Davis forever."
Dunn testified Tuesday that he saw Davis reach down and pick something up, and that he saw about
"4 inches of a barrel" from a 12- or 20-gauge shotgun above the window.
Opinion: Florida shooter saw black, thought 'threat'
'You're not going to kill me'
He muttered aloud to himself, " 'You're not going to kill me, you son of a bitch,' " as he opened the
glove compartment, grabbed his pistol, dropped the holster at his feet, chambered a round and
began firing, he said.
Nine of the 10 rounds hit the car, and three of them struck Davis, one of them cutting through his
liver, his lung and his aorta.
Wolfson rejected Dunn's assertion he had been trying to de-escalate the situation and he feared for
his life.
Strolla, the defense attorney, noted that no witnesses had accused Dunn of using any hate words and
testified that his client had just come from a wedding, where his ex-wife said he had appeared to be
in a good mood.
Strolla noted that the SUV departed the gas station after the shooting and was gone for three
minutes before it returned, enough time for the youths to have dumped a gun.
Detectives did not search the area for days after the shooting, he said.
Strolla cited testimony from another passenger in the car with Davis who acknowledged he may not
have heard all the conversation between the two men.
'You have reasonable doubt'
Witnesses testified that child locks on the SUV were engaged, and that Davis -- who was seated in
the rear -- could not have gotten out of the back seat to threaten Dunn. But Strolla said the teen
could simply have opened the door by putting his hand out the window, which was open.
"You have lack of evidence, conflicts of evidence and reasonable doubt," he told the jurors.
On rebuttal, Assistant State Attorney John Guy appealed to the jurors' "common sense."
"That defendant didn't shoot into a car full of kids to save his life," he said. "He shot into it to

4. preserve his pride. Period. That's why we're here."
Though Davis may have had a big mouth, he had no weapon, Guy said. Though he acknowledged
minor inconsistencies in witness accounts, he said that was to be expected. "It's not like television,"
he said. "In real life, there are inconsistencies."
The court has decided not to release the identifications of the jurors, fearing they could be the
subject of threats, but a document obtained by CNN affiliate WTLV-TV in Jacksonville showed the
makeup of the jury.
It has four white females, two black females, four white males, an Asian female and a Hispanic male,
plus four alternates.
