JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Associated Press) — A jury convicted a Florida man on Wednesday of first-degree murder in his retrial for killing a teenager after an argument over loud music.
Prosecutors said Michael Dunn shot with intent to kill when he fired 10 times into an SUV carrying 17-year-old Jordan Davis and three of his friends in November 2012. The jury reached its verdict after more than five hours of deliberations.
Dunn, who took the stand in his own defense, said he fired in self-defense. He told jurors that he saw Davis flash what he believed to be a rifle after the two exchanged words outside a convenience store.
Investigators never found a gun in the SUV or in the nearby area, and Davis' three friends testified that there was no gun.
Dunn was convicted of three counts of attempted second-degree murder in February and faced at least 60 years in prison. The jury in the first trial deadlocked on the first-degree murder count, which led prosecutors to retry him.
Prosecutors didn't seek the death penalty, which means Dunn now faces a mandatory life sentence.
Throughout the second trial, prosecutors portrayed Dunn as a cold-blooded killer. Dunn never called 911 after firing into the SUV, and afterward he went back to his hotel, made a drink, ordered pizza, walked his dog and went to sleep.
After learning on the news about Davis' death, Dunn drove home to Satellite Beach, Florida, and did not contact authorities until they called him.
Before the verdict, Davis' parents, Ron Davis and Lucia McBath, said they never expect to hear condolences from Dunn.

"Ron and I don't expect that he'll ever apologize to us, you know, and that's not even a concern of ours because we know that we raised a good human being," McBath said.

"When we get into Dream School, you watch those kids make those adjustments right there in front of you," 50 Cent told Vibe recently. "These kids would be out of school but it's one of those scenarios where they're receiving the opportunity they wouldn't under any other circumstances. You see this television show when it's a different, full life opportunity for everyone on it. Reality television doesn't stand for that. It's a huge relevance that's obvious to the show with 3,030,000 kids in America dropping out [of high school] a year. Every 26 seconds, someone drops out. Every day, 8,300 people drop out."

“What doesn’t work for our brand, what audiences don’t want to see, are the types of storytelling where you know what the producers are doing but it’s very entertaining anyway,” said Sarah Barnett, president of SundanceTV. ‘That works very well in other contexts, but it doesn’t work for us. There’s something about being authentic. But at the same time, we don’t want it to feel like broccoli TV because that’s just not effective.”

October's Very Ownrecording artist ILoveMakonnenhas a popular song entitled"Tuesday"featuringDrakethat is gaining him lots of new fans.
Various artists have put out unofficial remixes of it and the singer is not exactly happy about it. After Troy Ave dropped his version yesterday, Makonnen took to his Twitter account to throw a few darts at the remakes.
Never one to bite his tongue, Troy quickly fired back.
Should ILoveMakonnen be flattered other artists like his song enough to remix it? Or should artists respect his comments and leave"Tuesday"alone?
