Yahtc, see recently posted video with juror 8. The interview is being posted piece by piece. in soundbites to confuse and distort. CNN WHERE IS THE FULL TRANSCRIPT OF THIS INTERVIEW?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOFOS
CNN has done a great disservice by posting Juror 8’s interview in pieces.
Distortion and confusion are the results of this action by CNN.
Shaking my head…..
It won’t take away the fact that MICHAEL DUNN is a CHILDKILLER & ATTEMPTED MURDERER of THREE BOYS!
No common sense. No mind of her own. And the GALL to get on tv and tell folks a racist pos was a good guy! Arrrrrrgh!
Drip, drip, drip this video is over 5 minutes as compared to the 1:41 seconds available yesterday.
By the Grace of God Dunn was convicted on attempted murder charges. I shudder b/c this could have went just like the GZ jury. So freaking frightening!
It is frightening. How in the blazes are these prosecutors going to get a conviction on a race killing if they won’t admit it’s a race killing and the local yokels (white or black) won’t admit it either?
Angela Corey, when a juror comes out of the jury room THINKING the criminal was a good guy with a gun, you have failed badly. Please step aside!
Yeah, this would be the same guy who tried to kill four people but only killed one. I certainly haven’t heard anyone refer to Jared Loughner or James Holmes or Adam Lanza as “good guys with guns.” Once one of these shooters decides to massacre humans by spraying them with bullets, the number of people they actually kill does change the fact that their crimes are essentially the same.
Meant to say – “…the number of people they actually kill does NOT change the fact that their crimes are essentially the same.”
Juror8 should have shut the fuck up. Why prosecutors allowed this moron on the jury is beyond me?
We do have to ask WHY they just gave us a clip of the interview.
I want to see a transcript of the whole interview and the context of this clip.
Anderson Cooper 360° @AC360 2h
Google CNN, and see if they’ve posted the entire transcript.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1402/20/cnr.07.html
Thanks for this transcript. Yet, it is only the transcript of Alina Machado (CNN corespondent) and Brook Baldwin (CNN Anchor) talking about the short Clip of Juror 8’s interview with Alina Machado.
According to this article below from which I will quote a paragraph (but please see full article), Alina Machado’s interview with Juror 8 was ONE hour long.
http://jacksonville.com/news/crime/2014-02-20/story/second-dunn-trial-juror-goes-public-no-8-does-exclusive-interview-cnn
Yahtc, see above. I posted a longer video version of that interview. CNN is playing games. They’re releasing the interview in drips to keep things riled up and distorting the truth.
Thanks for finding the longer video. I realize it still represents a fraction of the hour long interview.
Shaking my head……..
Lord help us! This fool said out loud on national tv she thought Dunn was a good guy who made mistakes.
So a good guy fires 9 shots into a car, leaves the scene, orders pizza, haves a drink & never call police? GTFOOH!
Juror #8: “Folks need to KNOWLEDGE THEY-SELVES.” Lord help this NEGRO!
Juror #8 “had that special nothing,” and Michael Dunn’s still GOING TO PRISON!
Liza,
We don’t care what color/race (black, white, purple or green) a person may be. We’ll call them out. This woman had no business being on the jury. They like to select the uninformed & ignorant. That’s why she was picked.
Bring the TRUTH, SG2. If her ass had been in that SUV, Dunn could have shot and killed her too. SMGDH. “He’s a good guy” Same as when some of the house slaves used to ask the slave-master: “IS WE SICK TOO, MASSA?” r*olls eyes * vomits..
Yeah, I’m afraid you’re right, SG2. That’s why she was picked. I can see why the defense would want her but I wonder what the prosecutors were thinking.
We have got jury selection problems X 10 with these prosecutors. Do they care about winning or not?
Here’s something interesting. I just looked on the juror profiles and this woman is single, has no children, and she is an occupational therapist. She lives in Riverside which is a very old neighborhood but it’s scenic being close to the St. Johns River, and it appeals to people who like to fix up old houses. It’s not a bad place to live at all. With that limited information it sounds as though she might be living a pretty good life there in west Jax. It would seem that an occupational therapist at the very least would have some kind of certification from a community college, so it is hard to account for her use of language.
Thanks for this.
I think we will know more when we hear the whole interview.
OMG Had to post this, SG2. …..
??? !!!!!!!!!!
I’m with you, Yahtc. She’s ignorant. And she was selected because of it.
i heard her say Dunn was a “Good Guy” She’s mimicking failed book-dealing juror B37
IGNORANCE! No mind of her own.
This is SO disappointing.
Now just watch her being misused as a “Black spokesperson!”
But, but, folks just need to “KNOWLEDGE” themselves OH GOOD GRIEF!
@Ametia…Shaking my got damn head. Why didn’t she stay hidden?
I have to laugh to keep from crying…
And in this Dunn trial we were not allowed to see and hear the jury selection process.
We will never know the questions asked of her during jury selection.
good point, Yahtc. The media is spoon feeding us aa LOAD
Please see my comment at:

Interesting. I don’t know what to think other than she’s young with limited life experience. But she was willing to convict Dunn of murder 2, so she seems to have an issue with premeditation. She did, at least, understand that it was murder.
You’re being too kind. Her black ass is naïve & no common sense. Did you hear her say she thought Dunn was a good guy?
“I wanted to bring justice to them.” Oh dear Lord….
I’m stunned. Stunned got dammit!
Echoes of Zimmerman juror B37 “Georgie’s a good guy.” *sigh* WTF is in the water in FLORIDA. Are Negroes really that oppressed and simple?
Here is a map of Jacksonville from Wikipedia. I cannot find demographics, but I can tell you that there is a concentration of African Americans in the Northside. You may recall that the jurors came from the Southside and the Westside. In fact, all of the jurors who live east of the St. John’s River came from the Westside. Now how do you reckon that happened? And would it be any surprise that the jury ended up with 9 white folks? I wonder if anyone from the Northside even received a summons? And is anyone even asking our girl Angie about these juries? After the Zimmerman Circus, this is an issue that needs to be investigated.
I will admit that two black women on the jury was a notable improvement. But it isn’t enough. If they are serious about getting a conviction for Dunn, they need a more diverse jury. And the white folks who do get on apparently need better screening.
Forgot the link. Look at the Northside, it is half the damn city.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighborhoods_of_Jacksonville
“In fact, all of the jurors who live east of the St. John’s River came from the Westside.”
I meant to say west of the St. John’s River, not east. There is a concentration of black people in the Northside because that is where they lived during segregation, so that area just became home to a lot of black folks.
So, where were those jury summons sent, I wonder.
Here’s another interesting fact:
There are 255,018 black people living in Duval County according to the 2010 census. And 48.5 percent of the total population of Duval County is male. So, we can make a reasonable estimate that there could be over 123,000 black men living in Duval County. Yet, not a single one of them was on Dunn’s jury. But a Hispanic white male from the Westside (Argyle) was selected, not to mention four other white men.

Just tweeted Angela about this. Thanks for the 411, Liza. You’ve been all over it.
This is SO important to point out!
Thanks for your great work researching it, Liza!!
Thanks Liza & SG2
YVW. You can bet Strolla will want a change of venue for Dunn’s next trial.
Re-Trial For Dunn In “Loud Music” Murder Case Slated For May
http://rolandmartinreports.com/blog/2014/02/re-trial-for-dunn-in-loud-music-murder-case-slated-for-may/
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – In May, prosecutors will re-try Michael Dunn, the Florida man who fired into a car full of Florida teens, killing one, following an argument over loud music, Florida Assistant State Attorney John Guy told CBS affiliate WTEV.
Dunn, 47, was convicted Feb. 15 of three counts of second-degree attempted murder and firing a weapon into a vehicle. Jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict on the first-degree murder charge Dunn faced in the death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis. The panel could have also opted to convict Dunn of lesser included offenses, including second-degree murder and manslaughter, in Davis’ death.
Prosecutors say Dunn shot into a Dodge Durango outside a Jacksonville convenience store in which Davis and three friends were riding following an argument over loud music the night of Nov. 23, 2012. Davis, of Marietta, Ga., was killed.
Now that we know how the jury split (9-3) in favor of conviction, the mistrial on murder one makes more sense to me. There were nine whites on that jury (the Hispanic guy is white) and I’m willing to bet that the three came from that group. Anything is possible, of course, but it’s very unlikely any of those three were not white. Whether they were women or men is almost irrelevant in today’s world because we know that the racist white women are equal to the racist white men when it comes to being on a jury. So, if the three were white, then 30 percent of the white part of the jury was willing to acquit a white supremacist for murdering a black child.
The prosecution better realize and fast that they have a jury problem and they need to investigate themselves to find out why so many white racists and their white sympathizers are getting on their juries. First, why were nine out of twelve people white? Duval County is almost 40 percent black. And there were several jurors from west Jacksonville which is home to many conservative whites. And why was there not even one black male on this jury?
This trial was about the murder of a black child by an enraged, armed white supremacist. And the jury of twelve has only two black women in a city that has a concentrated black population?
We’re watching you, Jacksonville. FIX THIS!
TRUTH! How you gonna have a 40% BLACK population and only 2 blacks on a jury?
JURY RIGGING ain’t no JOKE.
X2
Black males were stricken from the GZ jury and none chosen for Dunn jury. It’s very troublesome. It’s deliberate to keep black men off the jury.
@SG2 The Florida court system deliberately excludes black men, because they’re the target for white racist men. Kill them off, no need to sit on jury to bring a guilty verdict against white male murderers! YEAH, I SAID IT.
We will stand with Lucia & Ronald and DEMAND justice. They want it on the record that Jordan was murdered, that he wasn’t killed because Dunn claimed self-defense against their 17 year old son.
Thanks for breaking it down, Liza! It needs to be shared. I’m off to tweet it.
I have a correction to make. I looked at the 2010 census and the black population of Duval County is actually 30 percent black, but still a concentration. That would seem to indicate that there should have been at least four black jurors, but given that the people affected by this case were black and victims were black males, it should have been more. The composition of the jury should represent those who have the largest stake in the outcome, not those who are of the same race as the defendant.
Impartiality is bullsh!t.
Forgot the link:
http://www.census.gov/2010census/popmap/ipmtext.php?fl=12
We’re watching you, Jacksonville!
I am watching and DEMANDING justice!
In Florida as a whole, blacks are 16 percent of the population (as of 2010), so you can see there is a significant concentration in Duval County at 30 percent.
A couple of days ago, I read somewhere that Strolla was going to ask for a change of venue when Dunn is re-tried. Makes perfect sense, right? Move the trial to an area where blacks are a much smaller percentage of the population and make sure the jury is white.
It comes down to having whites on the jury, that’s what I think. The more whites the greater the probability of a stealth juror, someone who is there to acquit Dunn. The prosecution needs to deal with the issue of white people who are racist, pro-SYG, and/or anti-gun control who are going to try to get on this jury.
In speaking of juries and local demographics, Zimmerman’s jury is relevant because Angela Corey is the prosecutor for both cases. Again, the black population is 16 percent of Florida as a whole. The black population of Seminole County is 11 percent, BUT the black population of Sanford is 18 percent. So, where exactly are those summons being sent? That would be my question. There was not even one person on the jury who represented the local black population and there should have been at least two. But given that the victim was a black male, there should have been more than two.
Were the prosecutors asleep or do they just not care who gets on these juries? Or is someone making sure that whites are overrepresented by sending summons to areas that have concentrated white populations?

9 jurors believed that Dunn was guilty 3 jurors? BELIEVED that MOFO!
“I believed he was guilty.” —Juror No.4 (“Valerie”)
I hope Angela Corey is not retrying MichaelDunn. If it wasn’t for her incompetence GZ would be in prison. She needs to step aside & go sit down.
AGREED! Angela Corey strolls before the cameras after the Zimmerman and Dunn verdicts, cheesing and grinning like a lady pushing “cheap items” aka (FUCKED UP VERDICT) on QVC.
WTF is wrong with her. She has failed at 2 high profile prosecutions and she needs to go. No one has time for her bullshit games. The jury convicted Marissa Alexander in 12 minutes and she didn’t kill anyone. SYG is not for people of color.
SG2, Corey is so eerily scary after these verdicts. She acts like she’s sold pure gold and that she should be congratulated. GTFOH Like I’ve said, she and John Guy, the LOT of them are part of the PROBLEM.
I always have an uneasy gut feeling when I listen to Angela Cory interviews.
I worry.
Ametia is spot on about Angela. All that smiling before the cameras while giving a press conference after you’ve failed badly at a case is eerie.
Yes, SG2.
It was bizarre and sickened me.
Yathc, Angela Corey is FAKE, she’s a PHONEY.
