TAMPA - Here are five things you need to know happening in Florida on Friday, August 10.

(1) Walter Dunn III sentencing

Walter Dunn III is scheduled to be sentenced in a Hillsborough County courtroom on Friday.

In June, a jury convicted Dunn of second-degree attempted murder, felony battery, burglary with assault or battery, and the reduced charge of false imprisonment.

Prosecutors say Dunn attempted to kill his wife, Alison Aquino-Sanchez, in June 2009.

According to the arrest report, Sanchez was found by Sheriff's deputies bleeding and covered in gasoline. She told the officers her husband tried to set her on fire but twice his plastic barbecue lighter failed to light.

Dunn faces up to 20 years in prison. The sentencing hearing is scheduled for 8:30 a.m.

(2) Military memorial wall mural

A beautiful hand-painted mural incorporating all five branches of the United States military will be unveiled in Madeira Beach on Friday.

The mural will feature a back drop of the American flag with scenes of military personnel on land, in the sea and in the air.

The mural will be placed at the US Coast Guard Auxiliary. It was created by Belinda Davis who was born in St. Petersburg and grew up in Plant City.

The unveiling ceremony will take place at 10:00 a.m.

Officers from the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Coast Guard, Congressman Bill Young and Madeira Beach Mayor Travis Palladeno are scheduled to attend the ceremony.
