Opening statements / State vs Jason lynn Young 6-7-11

[borndem]

I have to admit it's nice to debate, but how nasty it got over there just upset everyone and there was no point. I am still stuck on quite a few of them being defense plants.

I think this one will be more intense though withe the toddler and brutal murder, by the time it goes to deliberation, I may need some anxiety meds!

BBM - I think many of us had the same feelings, CAddict. If indeed many of "them" were "sent" by or part of the defense, I feel sure we'll have none of that here.

In any event, we, as WSers always do, can have plenty of back & forth with no agenda other than to look for fairness and the truth from the principals, the witnesses and the evidence, and to hope for a fair trial, justice, and a verdict that will stand the test of time. And we're got the makings of that in spades, IMHO, in this case...

A great way to begin, eh?

BTW, I'm thinking of changing my name to Pollyanna -- so fitting, don't you agree??? :innocent: :blushing:

I came into this trial thinking "if everything I've heard in the news is accurate, it looks like this guy is guilty." But I do my best to stay open to new evidence. I know how one sided the media can be. While I still feel like JY is going to get a guilty verdict, I will admit that some of the things in the defense opening statement surprised me yesterday. .

snipped to address this issue only,

A lot of the stuff in Jose Baez opening statement for Casey Anthony surprised me too. But none of it is/was *evidence*.

Dr Maurice Godwin.....hired by the family and the defense star witness.

I can't wait to see this dude on the stand.

Listen to this audio and you will have a laugh

Oh crumbs, JTF ... remember back in the day ... the hullabaloo surrounding Godwin! While I'm here ... [just caught up this on thread - and moving to the next one (been elsewhere) ] .... thanks to all posters for these updates - and gorealtors, was great reading your in-session comments.

Crocus - like you ... followed this case since it was hot off the press. That big ole train ... most definitely ... is shunting very heavily and ominously directly toward JLY!
