You must be a hoot at the casino's. Me, I lose my $5. and watch everyone else have fun.

The DT better have more than this witness imo. It is too long and drawn out. Like I said, I am sure he is a fantastic teacher, this is not the venue. JMO I may have watched too many trials, this is not a fingerprint/dna case. IMO

The defense putting Jason Young on the stand in the last trial was a gamble, imo, they took a huge risk of rolling the dice
that he would do so well , or that the Pros would be caught so unprepared.

They are not going to get another shot at Jason Young on the stand.
I did not think they would.

I agree about this witness though, while his creds may be long and impressive, he could put people to sleep.

They need to cut to the chase, show what he found or did not found, and
then go out with a BANG.......

The last time closing arguments for the defense were brillant, they entered a gas mileage chart that blew the King, NC story apart.

Praying for justice for Michelle Marie Fisher Young.........

Hoping this trial ends soon and goes to competent jurors with the ability to connect all the dots and put all the pieces of evidence together. When they do....all will point to one person only......

JASON SLAYER YOUNG

Do you think the prosecution might be ready to counter that mileage chart this time around?

Did they tell you what? What did they base it on? tia

Not enough evidence, case not proven beyond reasonable doubt. They all cited CY, because she never identified the attacker as daddy, when reenacting the crime. None of the State's evidence, including the shoe print, is convincing to them.

They're an intelligent group, so I'm just...wtf...how could they get it so terribly wrong, IMO.

But, OTOH, it's just my view they are wrong. They probably think the same about me.

Put on your juror hats: How does it influence you as a juror if JLY doesn't take the stand, since you already know he testified last time? Does it make him appear he's hiding? Make him appear more confident? Does it not affect your opinion either way?

Having served on a jury, it doesn't impact me either way. It is their right not to testify and as jurors, we were instructed that couldn't be considered for or against the defendant. So much of that depends on legal strategy too.

Wanting to answer a post about Cindy Beaver I saw.

I don't think it was a good idea for the Pros to try and badger her so much.

They were pretty much doing to her, what she said some of LE did to her, and
the Jurors got to see it up close and personal.

If the Jurors felt there were intimidation or scare tactics being used to pressure
her to change her story, they may feel sorry for her.

No one likes to be bullied, and many people will come back even stronger after
attempts to have them change their stories or to even silence them.

If there is even one Juror who can relate or noticed the extensive cross exam
of her , they may hold it against the Pros.

As for Ms. Hensley, the defense made it quite clear she saw the car on Birchleaf with Spivey's
testimony today.

These 2 witnesses , alone, could be enough for reasonable doubt.

Cammy,
You and I see things in this trial so differently. I will look forward to the next trial (not because someone died but to see if we agree in other cases.) Let me know what you are watching next time, whenever that is.

Yes, they better.

BBM.

Maybe. But here's my take:

That has nothing to do with the quality of the evidence, IMO. Personal feelings for either side, or how they handled witnesses, should have no bearing in deliberations.

very interesting...if you dare share, would love to hear about the demographic makeup of the group. Are they young people?

This is only the 2nd time I have been a *NG, every other case I have been a G.

I intend to follow the Michelle Parker case next.

I like to follow one case at a time.......

This case has taken forever, and I started out a G, as well.

*Brad Cooper, being the other.

I would be honored to post with you or anyone else here in the future.

All of us are mid-thirties to early forties.

This will be but a distant memory and the PT will tie up the ends in Closing Arguments and will convince the jury that JY is guilty of murder.

Especially if they strike 30 blows and demonstrate just what a ruthless killer JY is.

Oh thank you

He sure does have a patient soul. LOL at the guy with the broken cursor. That has to be frustrating. I am sure he is a wonderful instructor, but he needs to remember this Jury didn't sign up for a class he teaches. They answered a civic duty. That is JMO.

My husband has played golf w/ Judge S before. Said he's a great guy.

 

[twirlygurl]

Ohhh!! Who spoke to a Juror???

 

[fran]

Uh-Oh!

It appears someone on the def side spoke to or around a juror?

Very interesting info, Turnadot, was there anything specific they based this on?

Thank you.

Judge now directing all in the court to avoid future contact with jurors (incident over lunch).

Ohhh!! Who spoke to a Juror???

When he was talking about it, the judge was looking at the def.

hmmmm,
