A man was sentenced to 60 years Wednesday — “over $140 and some weed,” defense lawyer Lonnie Randolph II said.

Rahmere Dunn, 25, of Whiting and formerly Hammond, was convicted on May 3 of murder and a gun enhancement for the Nov. 12, 2021, death of Jediah Perry, 21, of Gary. He got 55 years for murder and five years on the enhancement.Court documents show Perry messaged Dunn that day to buy marijuana. They eventually met in front of Kelly’s Soul Kitchen, 5025 W 5th Ave., in Gary.

“Maybe if it was legal in Indiana, they could go to a dispensary and we wouldn’t be having these issues,” he said.Randolph argued Dunn didn’t get a “fair trial.” Randolph said he requested all information from the detective’s case file. The detective said he didn’t keep the notes after he wrote his report on Perry’s associate.
