count one the jury advises and recommends to the court that it impose a sentence of life imprisonment

AND WITH THOSE WORDS.

THE JURY IN THE ROBERT DUNN TRIAL LIKELY SAVED THE LIFE OF THE CONVICTED KILLER.

SHIRLEY STAUBACH, DUNN'S AUNT: its a hard things to come to terms with it really is it was a horrible act

LAST WEEK JURORS FOUND DUNN GUILTY OF THAT HORRIBLE ACT.

BY SHOWING PICTURES OF HIM AND HIS DAUGHTER ALLISON.

AND REMINDING JURORS OF HIS MENTAL ILLNESSES.

SHIRLEY STAUBACH, DUNN'S AUNT: he was a doting father and he loved his daughter.Did I see you wiping a few tears? A few

SOME OF DUNN'S FAMILY INCLUDING HIS AUNT SHIRLEY ATTENDED THE HEARING.

WHILE SHE KNEW HER NEPHEW WAS GUILTY.SHE SAYS SHE STILL WANTED HIM TO AVOID THE DEATH PENALTY.

SHIRLEY STAUBACH, DUNN'S AUNT: our prayer was for life and I think his defense team did a good job and we're thankful for the outcome

STATE PROSECUTOR: our main goal was to get the conviction to make sure he never gets out of prison

IT TOOK JUROS ONLY AN HOUR AND A HALF TO COME BACK WITH THE RECOMMENDATION.

AND IT'S A DECISION ONE ALTERNATE JUROR BELIEVES WAS THE RIGHT ONE.

FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

The warm afternoon and increased humidity will lead to a few showers again tonight and tomorrow. Patchy fog will likely form again tonight - especially where some of the isolated showers are occurring now.

As we start this next weekend in December we are still looking at 82 - 84 degrees each day. You might also notice that the humidity has been creeping up, and this weekend it will feel a lot more like pre-summer weather than "winter" weather in Florida.

A few showers are popping up on radar this evening and tomorrow we will likely track isolated or scattered showers in the afternoon as well. Our sea breeze will kick in by midday and help with the formation of some clouds and the errant shower on Saturday. I would plan on about a 30% chance for showers to develop tomorrow.

The weather maps look a little quieter for us on Sunday, but it will still be warm. The high will hit 84 degrees to end out the weekend.

Looking into next week we see a cold front arriving on Tuesday. In advance of this front we will see increasing clouds and a chance for showers both Tuesday and Wednesday. It doesn't appear that this next front will cool us off, but the chance for showers does go up. It's been a very dry stretch of weather here since November, so the arrival of any and all rain showers should be welcome news!
