update:
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A judge on Friday granted Michael Dunn, the Florida man convicted of attempted murder in a confrontation over loud music, a sentencing delay and scheduled Dunn's retrial for May 5, reports CBS affiliate WTEV.

Dunn, 47, was scheduled to be sentenced on March 24 but his attorneys sought to delay the sentencing until after he's tried again on a first-degree murder charge.

Dunn was charged with fatally shooting Davis, of Marietta, Ga., in 2012 outside a Jacksonville convenience store after the argument over loud music coming from the SUV occupied by Davis and three friends. The teens were black. Dunn, who is white, had described the music to his fiancée as "thug music."

A mistrial was declared on the murder charge against Dunn after jurors deliberated for four days. The 12 jurors found him guilty of three counts of attempted second-degree murder and a count of firing into an occupied car.

He is being retried on the murder count.

Dunn already faces a maximum of 60 years in prison for the attempted murder charges on which he already has been convicted.

Defense attorney Cory Strolla argued during a hearing Monday for Dunn's sentencing to be delayed on the grounds that statements Dunn makes at a sentencing hearing could be used against him in his second trial.

Strolla also said Monday he is stepping down as Dunn's attorney and asked Judge Russell Healey to appoint public defenders.

 

Interesting. Maybe he finally sees Dunn for the GUILTY fucker he is.

 

A lot of these attorneys do see that fact on the first meeting.

 

I know right. LOL at the naivety.
Obviously, when the checks stop coming in, so does the criminal Defense. As if he bounced for any other reason, smh.

 

Or when the attorney learns WAY too much about their client. When attorney Gerry Spence met separatist Randy Weaver(whose wife and son were shot and killed by federal agents in a standoff), Spence made it clear that he was not representing him in support of his views and cause. He explained that he has family who have married interracially and he will not tolerate any negative talk about his family. It wasn't about his family, but the point was that he was willing to represent him to let the court know that his views are not on trial.

Mark Fuhrman's attorney during the O.J. Simpson trial dropped him because of the tapes and F. Lee Bailey's challenge that exposed him(Marine to Marine).


George Zimmermann's attorney still hasn't been paid yet.

 

- George Zimmerman's attorney dropped him.

- Mark Furhman was NOT a defendant in a criminal trial.

-Yes, let's re-clarify as your words looked like he dropped him, which he did NOT. Gerry Spence fully defended Randy Weaver despite disagreeing with him personally on his vile beliefs...."because of (his) right as an American citizen to a fair trial."
If Randy didn't have the money, there would be no defense of him by Gerry.

FYI, in general lawyers legally can not recuse themselves solely because of failure of payment, once they accept a case and while defending a client. They certainly can quit after the trial is over. (such as Dunn's and Zimmerman's, for example).


BTW....

Separately, Strolla has also informed the court that he will no longer be representing Dunn, and requested that the court appoint Dunn a public defender. It is common knowledge that Dunn has been unable to pay Strolla’s legal fees for a considerable period of time.

 

Thank you for the clarification. I do recall that Gerry Spence did represent Weaver pro bono.

Mark Fuhrman was not a defendant in the Simpson trial. But the Dream Team was interested in Fuhrman's part and past(as Bailey then showed)as it pertained to the investigation. The whole trial(depending on one's view of it) was circumstantial and coincidental(if one believes in coincidence).
