Michael Dunn in Newly-Released Jailhouse Phone Call: ‘I’m the F*cking Victim’

The murder of 17-year-old Jordan Davis has often compared with the killing of Trayvon Martin and, on Tuesday, another similarity between the two cases may have popped up.

Just as acquitted Martin killer George Zimmerman recently told CNN’s Chris Cuomo that he was the victim, a newly-released phone call between Davis’ accused killer Michael Dunn and his fiancée Rhonda Rouer shows the former proclaiming: “I’m the fucking victim here, I was the one who was victimized,” adding, “I’m the victor, but I was the victim too.”

In the newly-released call, recorded a month after his arrest, Dunn continued to Rouer: “I mean I don’t know how else to cut it, like they attacked me, I’m the victim.”

He also told her that being in a cell by himself was “better than being in a room with them animals.”

Here’s CNN’s report featuring the call audio:
