PROSECUTION POINTS OUT CONTRADICTIONS IN DUNN'S TESTIMONY VS. HIS OWN ACCOUNTS TO POLICE AND FIANCEE
Was really glad to read this morning that the prosecution ended the day yesterday by challenging Dunn's self-serving version of events on the stand, point by point.
Snip:
Recalled the weepy fiancee to the stand
3:15 p.m. Update: Rhonda Rouer confirms for prosecutor Erin Wolfson that Michael Dunn never told her of a gun, a stick or a barrel on the way to the hotel or at the hotel or on the way to Brevard County.
Defense attorney Cory Strolla asks that could her mental state have impaired her recollections. She says yes and is allowed to step down (HOTD: oh, help me Rhonda, witness PTSD, temporary amnesia? - hard to swallow)
Played Dunn's recorded police statement for the jury
5:05 p.m. Update: A police interview between Michael Dunn and Jacksonville Sheriff's Office detectives Marc Musser and Travis Oliver was shown as part of the prosecution's rebuttal.
The interview highlighted contradictions between Dunn's testimony in court today and what he told police the day after 17-year-old Jordan Davis was shot and killed.
Dunn told police he'd had one drink. Today he agreed with his fiancee that he probably had three or four. He clarified that he was counting those four as being the equivalent of one normal drink.
(HOTD note: the autopsy of Jordan Davis showed no traces of alcohol or drugs.)
Dunn also told police that he shot Davis as Davis was leaving the vehicle. On the stand, he said he shot Davis as Davis was jumping back into his vehicle.
He told police that he shot the car eight times. On the stand, he said he shot at the car 10 times.
