People are asking if corey mishandled the case. and some are also asking why letters that dunn wrote from jail weren t talked about in court. in one letter he wrote, quote, i m not really prejudiced against race, but i have no use for certain cultures. this gangster rap, ghetto-talking thug culture that certain segments of society flock to is intolerable. dunn also wrote, quote, i just got off the phone with you, and we were talking about how racist the blacks are up here. the more time i am exposed to these people, the more prejudiced against them i become. these comments are explosive. they generated a lot of passionate debate. but the jurors never got to see those letters. joining me now, a former u.s. attorney kendall coffey and criminal defense attorney john buroughs. ....
Thug culture that certain segments of society flock to is intolerable. now, you have talked about that there was a way that these prosecutors could have responsibly and this judge responsibly could have introduced the concept of racial bias into the conversation in a way that could have given the jurors more of an opportunity to say, you know, maybe we need to see this from a different per spect pif. sure. and the most obvious would have been in response to the defense witnesses who said, michael dunn is gentle and peaceful. that s what the jurors heard over and over again from a series of witnesses. at that point, the prosecutor should have leapt to their feet on cross examination, waved the letters around. are you aware he said, for example, the more i get to know those people, referring to african-americans, the more prejudiced i am? the prosecutor should at least have attempted to call his neighbors, who are on videos online on globalgrind.com, saying that he use the n word ove ....
He told the police in the interview, i have everything good to live for. this is the last thing i ever wanted to happen. his mind set was the music. there are a dozen of letters that were not introduced. my client repeatedly said this is not brak and white. this black and white. this is a subculture of young kids who listen to very violent music, watch very violent movies and they try to emulate what they see. it southbounded like he was sound like he was blaming thug culture and he thinks more people should act against them. that s what it sounded like. no and i understand that. again, it was one letter out of dozens. what he s conveyed to me personally is if you re going to go around and grab a weapon, whether it s a firearm, a stick, a screw driver, and you re going to threaten another man or ....
There are also letters that mr. dunn wrote to his family from jail where he talked more about thug culture and thug music and how people had already made up their mind about him, because he was a white man. the teenager killed was a black kid. carol, that s right. i think the letters that mr. dunn wrote from jail might come in on the rebuttal case. if dunn takes the stand and says, i was in reasonable fear for my life. the prosecution is going to want to take the position that this was a racially motivated killing. the fact that dunn s lawyer was trying to get in this expert witness on acute stress syndrome, i think, might have been an angle to not have dunn testify. if the expert would have been able to come in and testify, what dunn was experiencing, the trauma he was experiencing, to try to show he was in reasonable ....
Cultures. this gangster rap, ghetto talking thug culture that certain segments of society flock to is intolerable. to his daughter he says, this may sound a bit radical, but if more people would arm themselves and kill these expletive idiots when they re threatening you, eventually they may take the hint and change their behavior. i m sure we re all going to be accused of race baiting, but those comments go to a certain bias that this person had when he potentially saw those four young men, heard that music. it sounds to me like that triggered something for him. well, i think also, karen, unlike the zimmerman case where we sort of talked a lot about race and wasn t really sure if he profiled him or he was black or whatever. here we have specific evidence of this man making very, very racist comments. the one thing i would say about what s happening in america right now and michael dunn s fear of the young black male is ....
