Most of the innocent people in prison were put there by mistaken eye witness testimony.
And yet this case is mostly circumstantial :maddening:

That isn't quite right. In fact, none of the witnesses were allowed to present an opinion during sworn testimony regarding the guilt of innocence of their former buddy.

Well, keep your fingers crossed!:seeya:
Hi Everybody! What a day, huh? I just want to say THANKS from all the mods for scrolling by any violating posts today without responding or quoting. It is much appreciated!

But they could have said what a great guy he was, but they didn't. And I didn't see people lined up to testify as character witnesses. That is telling.
Was that a formal decision by the judge? I was wondering about that because of differences between JY's trials and the Cooper trial.
I found the ignore feature in settings very helpful.
Thanks for the tip![]()
I have asked this question several times but no one seems to have an answer at least I have not seen one posted. And to me this is crucial. jmo
One of his friends was asked by the prosecution if he thought Jason murdered Michelle. The defense objected and the Judge ruled that he was not allowed to answer the question.
They were all evidence witnesses. Character witnesses come in the sentencing phase if the defendant is found guilty.
I use it sometimes if I really am lacking self control that day - it keeps me from responding and twisting myself into a TO.Not me.I have never used the ignore button. I like to see both sides of any issue.
IMO
I missed the end of the day ... did the Judge give instructions to the jury or will that happen in the morning?
I understand that. My point is that none of his friends said anything positive about him. One said he was a manipulator and the other said he was a horndog. I think that goes towards character.
I have a question... JY was a very popular man, best all around in his school, many, many friends at work, at NC State, at home in Brevard, etc, I did not hear from any of these people vouching for his character as a loving father/husband/friend.
Why did the DT not have any of these people testify? There has to be one person that likes JY other than his mother/family. Who?
And why did sister Kim not testify? She apparently knew lots of what was going on. She was constantly on the boards in the beginning spouting off about everything she has seen.
What about John Goins, his father figure who helped raise him through his younger years? What about Coates (sp) who hiked the Appalachian trail with him?
All of these people should have been great character witnesses for him. Where were they? Why didn't they take the stand?
Okay, so i did the search. Now how do I delete it from my Google history?? HELP!!
