Life Sentence for Man Who Shot and Killed Teenager After Argument Over Loud Music
Michael Dunn sentence to life for the death of Jordan Davis
The man who opened fire into a car full of teenagers, killing one, after an argument over loud music, was sentenced to life without parole on Friday.
Michael Dunn, 47, was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis, and three counts of attempted second degree murder for shooting at the other teens in the car with Davis. In his first trial, the jury deadlocked on the first-degree murder charge.

From the article: "Dunn argued that he thought he saw the barrel of a gun inside the car and was in fear for his life when he shot up the SUV."
Evidently that argument is most effective for law enforcement officers.
A cop only needs to feel threatened to justifiably murder someone. A peasant needs more than just his feelz.
