The former neighbor (for 8 years) talks about his reactions when he heard that Mr. Dunn was involved in shooting.

So far it is hearsay, however, if the neighbors are willing to say these things in a deposition then at the retrial (if it happens), that could be.... awkward.

Did I ever hear him say that he wanted to shoot somebody? Not directly, but there were several times when he made comments that.. "I can't wait for wait for somebody to try something with me when I have my gun."

Neighbor talks about legal dispute Mr. Dunn had and a possible solution Mr. Dunn approached the neighbor about.
Neighbor told him "I don't know anyone and I'm not interested in this conversation."

Looks like he was just itching to use his gun.


Thanks!

That's more speculation than anything. A good defense lawyer would ask him for specifics on what he said regarding his guns. None of what you are hearing would even be remotely allowed at a trial. Now if that neighbor actually heard him say something like "If someone knocks on my door in the middle of the night I will just blow them away" you have something. But this whole "I just don't trust him" or whatever will either be not allowed or picked apart by a defense attorney.

There's always the chance that someone with a grudge from someone's past will surface with some mixture of lies and truths when they're in the spotlight. Such a situation can draw the crazies out of the woodwork.

Also possible it's the complete truth that he's saying.

It's unfortunate he didn't generate actual police reports at the time, that would make it easier to believe him. This info has been floating around for months btw.

Like I said so far it is hearsay, but if he is willing to testify to the veracity of what he said on the video under oath then it becomes more serious.

He said that he called the police and said "someone" approached him about a hit.
Who knows how many crackpot callers a police department gets and how many real calls are treated as crackpot or vice versa.

It's interesting though. Although even if he would be willing to testify it's probably easy enough for a lawyer to get the judge to prevent a jury from hearing this.

Make no mistake, if everything his neighbor says about him is true and more importantly if he really did just decide to unload on a car full of kids just because they were mouthy, I'm deeply relieved he's going to be in prison for the rest of his life, and I'd actually prefer he be put to death.

I just learned a very interesting lesson about media sensationalism and their ability to skew shit to fit their preferred narratives back with the Zimmerman thing, and I've started to see just how pervasive it is ever since then, not just in these sorts of cases but in everything.

I've started to have a mentality of thinking that if the media is presenting me a nice, clean "this is the good guy, this is the bad guy" narrative, I shouldn't trust it. It's possible I'm taking that stance too far, and that I allowed myself to get in the corner of a legitimate piece of shit in the case of Dunn.

I sure hope so, because I'd much rather it be me that was wrong about him than the jury.

And I agree that if this guy is willing to get up on the stand and testify to all this, it does lend it some more credibility.

Dunn's ex-wife was a witness during the trial, yet nothing about her testimony suggested that she had escaped a sexually and physically abusive relationship.

That doesn't mean that this guy's assertions are false, but they should be viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism until corroborating evidence is presented. Widely publicized trials often attract attention whores and crazy people.

Yea my thoughts exactly.

He had a good relationship with an ex, who seemed to find the idea of him being violent and volatile or intoxicated all completely laughable.

This guy knows a lot about a neighbor that he hates. IF even half of this is true the guy is a maniac. Soliciting for a hit, insurance fraud, threatening his wives, etc

Edit: this guy's stupid wife has a different story than him about when he took Michael dunn's gun for two weeks. Totally different details. My guess is a lot of what these people are saying is blemished nonsense but likely not all of it.
