Florida murder case adds to debate over race, self-defense
Clip: 2/17/2014 | 9m 11s
Guests offer two views on the influence of race in the case.
In 2012, Michael Dunn, 47, a white Florida man, shot and killed unarmed Jordan Davis, 17, in what he called self-defense. Now, the case has been fueling the continuing debate over racism in trial, as Dunn has only been convicted of attempted murder. Gwen Ifill talks to the Advancement Project’s Judith Browne Dianis and David Weinstein of Clarke Silverglate.
