economics in our communities. i don t see where she supporting school choice for our parents to have the opportunity to extract their kids from failing schools to have a better choice. so therefore, the economy and the jobs and safety and security of our black communities have been failing throughout the years. angela? i have to respond to something. lieutenant governor, with all due respect, i m just trying to figure out where this black support you are talking about was when stand your ground was taking black people out. where were you for marissa alexander, for trayvon martin? it is so interesting to me that now all of a sudden you are a black militant, former lieutenant governor and you have a horrible record at defending people of color. i am very interested to see something different from you than besides this lip service that you are giving to us right now. well, it s not lip service because i chaired the force with stand your ground and the alexander and martin case were
will be a few guys that take it over the top like incognito and martin case. you have to stop it. i never had anything like that go on. i had a few times somebody said hey, jim, we have a rift going on between these two guys. i say knock it off. you have risk-taking aggressive males. you have to assume that. this isn t church choir we are coaching here. you have to be alert that stuff will go on. you don t turn your blind eye on it. let me ask quickly, do you think some teams are not going to want to draft him because of the attention, however unfair that might be? you know, there might be a team or two, might be. they will never come out and say it. nobody will know because we just passed because we got a better guy. there might be. my gut tells me the only reason for that is it would cause such
about what is required to actually have americans be able to really understand what is going on underneath those laws and have develop the will to take them down. can i add something really quickly? i think that it s important to recognize that when a prosecutor walks into prosecute a black defendant, they have the wind at their back. and you know, what i think is implicit here, in both the martin case and the davis case, that they do not have the same sort of capacity to utilize race when the defendant is a white person. well, i want to play just for a moment, and then get pedro s response to it. so this is state attorney john guy, did sort of try to make an argument that brings in some of the elements that we re talking about. he didn t explicitly say race, but let s just listen to part of the closing rebuttal and the way that john guy chose to frame the jordan davis versus michael dunn situation. gangsters.
case, and i don t need to review the facts, joy, you ve talked about them before. but he fires nine or ten shots. unarmed teenager. he doesn t he takes off from the authorities afterwards. doesn t even mention to anybody that he s very, very close to that there was, quote, a gun there. this was properly charged as a first-degree murder case. now we know this defendant is facing a minimum of 60 years. so while there may be a sense that justice is incomplete and there may be a mixed message for some coming out of this case, simply because first-degree murder resulted in a hung trial, the punishment part of this case is not incomplete. 47-year-old guy, minimum of 60 years in prison, lying ahead. that is effectively a life sentence. so, going back to you, lisa bloom, on one other issue. and you talk a lot about this, we hear you speak about the issue of race and how it was used in the trial. i want to play a little bit of john guy. john guy, one of the state
the murder of michael davijorda jury could not reach a consensus. the judge, russell healey, who presided over the case, declared a mistrial on that count. in a press release after the verdict, florida state attorney angela corey said she would retry the charge on the outstanding charge. judge healey set the week of march 24th to decide sentencing. now, florida statutes mandate 20 years in prison for attempted murder with the discharge of a firearm and up to 15 years for a charge involving firing a deadly missile. if the judge were to make those sentences consecutive, dunn, at 47 years old, would spend the rest of his life behind bars for the attempted murder of jordan davis friends. but as of now, he faces no time in prison for the killing of jordan davis, barring a successful retrial by prosecutors. after the verdict was announced, jordan s parents spoke out in an emotional press conference.
