Florida’s “stand your ground” law examined in the “loud music” case
“3 1/2 Minutes Ten Bullets” (2015 release; 98 min.) is a documentary about the “loud music” incident at a Jacksonville gas station in 2012, where a middle-aged white guy ends up shooting at 4 male black teenagers in a car playing loud music, and killing one of them. Upon his arrest, he claims that he was “standing his ground”, as defined under Florida law. But was he?Couple of comments: this documentary tackles a super-interesting case from the legal perspective (disclaimer: I am a lawyer myself, although my practice is NOT in criminal law or doing court trials). The lawyer defending the shooter zeros in on it when he addresses the jury: “these are the elements of the Florida “stand your ground” law. You may or may not like that law, but that is irrelevant. Your duty is to apply the elements of that law.” The amazing thing is that the jury does apply the law correctly in the end. What is not so amazing, and in fact is quite disappointing, is that this is not an “objective” documentary. It is pretty clear from the get-go where the documentary makers stand in their beliefs. This should’ve been a riveting documentary and while certain parts of it are (in particular the court scenes), it is not enough (for me, anyway).
I recently stumbled on this documentary while browsing the Documentary section of HBO On Demand. Glad I checked it out, even though as already mentioned, the documentary is not even-handed. But the legal case itself is worth checking out.
Disappointed at the end…
I’m not sure I even remember this incident, so I’m basing this review on the movie itself, not on any other fact/s about the incident outside the movie.Felt disappointed at the end… You have to rate this movie on its content, not with your heart because of what the current state of affairs are around you…
It shows both sides of the story in a fair and unbiased manner until near the end, then bam – we find out he never mentioned he saw a weapon to his fiancé. We’re all really supposed to make our judgment of his FULL guilt based on that fact?! Seriously? We know that the jury was not deliberating on his guilt with only what the fiancé said at the end. The documentary was going so well, then: “let’s wrap up the movie – he’s guilty!”. What should’ve happened is a clarification of, for example: why the jury was deliberating so long on the verdict. As we all saw, it wasn’t entirely based on whether the kid had a weapon or not.
Production, etc. was well done, but felt cheated in the end – thus the 6/10. But, watchable for sure.
