They could be debating on finding him guilty for Murder 1 or Murder 2.
Hopefully this is the case. I know there is going to be a nasty backlash if he is found innocent.
I'm not too sure they are debating whether it's going to be first degree or second degree murder. It could have something to do with the attempted murder charges regarding the others who were in the car with Davis.
The jury asked the judge if they could rule on one count but disagree on others (the judge said they could). This leads me to believe they have already decided to convict Dunn on the murder charge (which seems to be an open and shut case) and they are debating the attempted murder charges which are a little more complicated.
My personal opinion, for what is worth is that technically Dunn should be convicted of second degree murder, but juries sometimes ignore the law and seek what they perceive as justice instead. Dunn's behavior, such as firing at the fleeing teens, his failure to call 911 or anyone else about the event and his lies on the stand may move the jury to vote for first degree.
Either way, Dunn is done. There is no way in hell this guy walks. No way.
Yeah, personally I'd agree that it should be second degree murder, as well as one count of attempted murder for each of the other occupants in the vehicle, as well as a count of public endangerment. It seems that the prosecutor there is incompetent.
