He got convicted of 4 charges and will spend minimum 75 years in prison.

However, Don Lemon made a good point on CNN. The 75 years he is subject to right now is not for killing Jordan Davis, but for the shooting of 3 teens that are still walking the earth.

The murder charge needs to be retried, not for punishment, because it's obvious the man will die in prison. but for example and for condemnations sake. He needs to know in his mind that he is in prison also, and most seriously, for the death of Jordan Davis.


The fact that he got convicted of attempted murder 3x over shows that the jury had the full perception that he acted wrecklessly with malicious intent. This leads me to believe the mistrial wasn't a conflict in whether to aquitt him, but whether or not it was 1st or 2nd degree murder.

I believe it was a good jury who wasn't about giving a cac excuses, and saw right from wrong.

unlike the Zimmerman bunch:sitdown:

Although it might not logically make sense, attempted murder and murder are two completely different crimes with different burden of proofs depending on what state you are in. Attempted murder was easy to prove because of the reckless nature (shooting 10 rounds into a car) of the act.

First degree murder is a lot harder to prove. It likely requires to prove that the guy planned this shooting out, had time to think about his consequences, and follow through.

But either way like some other posters said it really is of inconsequence because he's going to die in prison. 75 or 150 years doesn't really matter, i'm sure thats what the prosecution is thinking.

Edit: had to read up on the case

Out here in my damn drawls
People has really been pissing me off with how this "overcharging" bullshyt and how they interpret "premeditated", as if he was suppose go home, plan for a few days, and then come back, like it's a fukking movie :beli:


The crumb went to his car, unholstered his gun, loaded the shyt and let off 10 rounds in a car of unarmed brothas......:mindblown: That wasn't heat of the moment, that was premeditated, too

People wanna say, "Well, it's essentially a life for him anyways :ld:"


fukk that, the prosecution charged him appropriately and the jury failed to deliver on something as clear as day :pacspit:

I'm not sure about Florida but most states have it where you have to be charged with the crime you get convicted of (meaning if the state couldn't prove 1st degree murder then he's off on that charge, it won't get dropped down to 2nd degree murder or anything else). The state probably should have gone with 2nd degree murder or manslaughter.

But either way like some other posters said it really is of inconsequence because he's going to die in prison. 75 or 150 years doesn't really matter, i'm sure thats what the prosecution is thinking.
The prosecution already said there going for the murder 1 charge
