Neighbor Says He Decided to Call 911 Before Dunn - Michael Dunn took the witness stand on Tuesday Sept. 30 and repeated what he said during his first trial — that he feared for his life when he fired his gun.

Lescallett said Dunn also seemed "upbeat" and made no mention of needing to speak about something important. Defense attorney Waffa Hanania, pictured above, is expected to close arguments today.
