"Gizmo" and "Kristi" swam into the water simultaneously Friday with many of the roughly 200 spectators playfully shouting Valentine's Day wishes. Gizmo was discovered last October suffering from emaciation and a head wound. It was treated at the Turtle Hospital in Marathon with antibiotics, lactulose, vitamins and honey wound care. Kristi was found entangled in a fishing trap line and received physical therapy on a back flipper as well as antibiotics and vitamins. The release marked the launch of a cooperative venture between Save- A-Turtle, a Keys-based turtle protection organi- zation, and the Wyland Foundation. Marine life artist Wyland created exclusive artwork that is being integrated in Save- A-Turtle's fundraising efforts.

Fla. man guilty of lesser counts in music shooting JACKSONVILLE (AP) -A 47-year-old software developer was convicted Saturday of attempted murder for shooting into a carful of teenagers after an argument about their loud music, but jurors couldn't agree on the most serious charge of first-degree murder. After more than 30 hours of jury deliberations over four days, a mistrial was declared on the murder charge that Michael Dunn faced in the fatal shooting of one of the black teens. The I LaserGum!lT herap 12 jurors found him guilty of three counts of attempted second-degree murder and a count of firing into an occupied car. Dunn was charged with fatally shooting 17-year-old Jordan Davis, of Marietta, Ga., in 2012 after they got into an argument over mu- sic coming from the parked SUV occupied by Davis and three friends outside a Jacksonville convenience store. Dunn, who is white, had described the music to his fiancee as "thug music." Dunn showed no emo- tion as the verdicts were read. Davis' parents each left the courtroom in tears. Earlier in the day, jurors said in a note to Judge Russell L. Healey that they were having trouble reaching agreement on the murder charge. He asked them to continue their work, and they went back to the deliberation room for two more hours. "I've never seen a case where deliberations have gone on for this length of time..." Healey said after the verdict.
