How about a sneak preview?
Does anyone need or want updates?
Alright, since you asked so nicely. This is my OPINION only, on how I would weigh the evidence to this point, if I were a juror.
Guilt
-Hushpuppies (This is a big one for me)
-Motive (any husband has motive, honestly)
Innocence
-Would have needed more gas. Even if you believe GC, he had one more stop to make.
-GC is unreliable as a witness. Couldn't remember details, and other customer did not ID JY.
-Franklin shoes
-Evidence he was at the hotel in the morning.
-His fingerprints are not on camera
Have not placed in either category yet
-JY's stop for gas--necessary, but did it happen?
-JY affirmatively LEFT the hotel (hushpuppies may move this over for me)
-JY's sweater was never recovered, but was it asked for?
-JY's shoes in CB and HI
-Light colored SUV in front of house in early morning hours (time discrepancy may be an issue here)
Irrelevant (IMO)
-Doll play
-Phone call testimony
-Affairs
-DNA on rock.
-Fingerprint in bedroom.
-Hair under MY's body
-JY's childish behavior
At this point, I could justify a guilty verdict on the hushpuppies alone, but I want a bit more.
Talking about meeting Michelle, he spilled her wine, said she was very pretty.

Jason appeared on the stand, ready and eager to answer all the Pros questions in the first trial.....
Why didn't BH ask him where his shoes and shirt were?
Maybe he had an answer and she did not want to hear it.
So far, everything he has said, that was in question, has held up....

The defense line of questioning was designed to paint a picture of Jason as a wholesome, loving husband and father. What the jury has already heard in the second trial is the exact opposite of that.
I would appreciate updates, unless it's just a repeat of his previous testimony. In that case, just updates on what Spivey draws out or comments on.
