IMO, JY is NO victim. The only victim is Michelle Young. He is the perp, she is the victim, along with her daughter, mother and sister.
Of course, because you, like many others here, decided he was guilty regardless of the evidence presented at trial. As someone else said, nothing will convince you otherwise. Basically, he is being asked to prove his innocence. However, this goes against the judicial system that says the accused is innocent until proven guilty.
IF he is innocent, and the evidence strongly suggests that he is, then those that continue to label him a murderer are in fact causing both him and his family harm.
What bothers me the most is the certainty of those who believe he is guilty. Even the idea that he may be innocent of this crime is offensive to those absolutely convinced of his guilt. I think we are all shocked at the senseless death of MY, and we all want to find someone to blame. It is almost comforting to blame JY, regardless of whether he did it or not, because at least you feel a sense of justice for MY. If she was in fact murdered by someone unknown, for whom the trail is cold, then there is no one to blame and therefore no justice.
Thus, people take solace in blaming JY. However, while blaming an innocent person may make outside observers feel like justice is served, it destroys a second life that can never get past the accusations.
There is a reason why, in the eyes of the law, the accused are supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty. And this is precisely an example of that. JY was assumed guilty from the beginning in the eyes of LE and, to a large extent, in the eyes of the public. But as of the moment, he is innocent until proven guilty. And he has not been proven guilty in a fair trial. (And I'll note, sometimes even fair trials result in convictions of the innocent)
There is a lot of hyperbole on this thread and on others about how evil a person JY is and that he should rot in jail for the rest of his life. And, you know, IF he did commit this crime, I would agree with you. The problem is, the evidence doesn't support a solid conclusion either way.
Every time someone says, with absolute certainty, how justice will be served by making JY suffer, I think of all the times in the history of mankind where certainty in ones conclusions resulted in great suffering of innocent people. Witch trials. Genocides. War.
And I ask, why are those so convinced of his guilt unwilling to entertain the possibility of his innocence?
