A Florida judge Friday sentenced Michael Dunn to life in prison without parole for the 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis.
The sentence, imposed nearly two years after Dunn shot and killed Davis during an argument over loud music, also carries an additional 90 years for three convictions of attempted murder and firing a weapon into a vehicle.
"This case demonstrates that our justice system does work," Duval County Judge Russell Healey said moments before sentencing Dunn.
I think this verdict is very good news, especially for those of us who worried that this guy would get the "Zimmerman treatment" and be allowed to simply walk free after killing this kid in cold blood.
I think the judge really summed things up well with these words:
"Mr. Dunn, your life is effectively over," Healey said. "What is sad... is that this case exemplifies that our society seems to have lost its way."
"We should remember there is nothing wrong with retreating and deescalating the situation," the judge said.
And good riddance to bad garbage in my opinion. Just check out the non-apology apology that Dunn offered the family right before his sentencing:
"I want the Davis family to know I truly regret what happened," he said. "I'm sorry for their loss. If I could roll back time and do things differently, I would."
He feared for his life, he said.
"I did what I thought I had to do," Dunn said. "Still, I am mortified I took a life, whether it was justified or not."
So even in the end this POS is trying to make the case that he felt he was in danger and was only trying to protect himself.
That is such bullshit. This asshole lost his temper and used a gun to take out his anger on a car full of unarmed teenagers, killing one.
If he had not had a gun this would have just been a frustrating altercation that he could have bitched about later on Facebook. But because he lives in America, and every asshole who can afford one is allowed to purchase a gun, this 17 year old is now dead.
The judge is right, society has lost its way.
