GUILTY MI - Ashley Young, 32, dismembered, Kalamazoo, 29 Nov 2018 *arrests*

[Vail]

sounds like he needs a good lawyer to tell him they've already got him, and admitting where the rest of her is can only help him at this point

 

[Razz]

I can't help but think that the parents of this perp dodged a bullet. Could be at some point, they were going to end up the same way as our victim.

Can anyone get into either Kent County or Kalamazoo County court records?

He is not in Kent County, but can't find a link to Kalamazoo. Very technically challenged here!

And "how" would you go about finding the parents next hearing date? If they are released from jail.

TIA!

Attorney: Jared Chance's parents tried to turn him in, but were turned away by police


GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Jared Chance’s attorney claimed Tuesday that the Grand Rapids man’s father tried turning his son in, but was turned away by Grand Rapids Police the day before Ashley Young’s body was discovered at Chance’s home Dec. 2.

Attorney Andrew Rodenhouse stood by Chance’s side in court Tuesday as a date was set for a preliminary examination.
[.....]
In court, Rodenhouse argued that Jared Chance’s bond be reduced from $750,000. He said that because Chance so far has been charged only with 10-year felony counts for mutilating Young’s body and concealing her death and not charged with open homicide, the current bond is excessive.

Prosecutors claimed Jared Chance is a danger to the public.

The judge ruled to keep bond at $750,000.
[.....]
Jared Chance is scheduled back in court at 8:30 a.m. Jan. 4, for a preliminary examination.

Wow I rarely comment on cases, but this one just really got to me. I mean drug offenses are one thing, killing and dismembering someone is a wholeeeeee different level.
