Are we watching the same trial??????
tarheel,
I believe JY is guilty as hell, but the same team of <modsnip> is still leading the Prosecution team. I would have thought if the state was really sure that they could get a guilty verdict in a second trial they would have put a new pros. team on the case, and/or presented more compelling evidence, and explain it better this time around.
The entire timeline is full of holes that are just gaping. They needed to draw the picture of the theory of the crime, and fill in all the blanks.
For example:
Show how visually that JY could both unplug and tilt a camera without being seen at least twice. Don't leave it to a jury to figure out how it was not only possible but probable.
State that JY got gas somewhere after King, but before his meeting, they could not find, instead of just leaving it hanging. Any juror with a pen and paper and 8th grade math can figure out that JY could not make his meeting without more gas, so acknowledge the fact instead of trying to hide it.
State the JY and only JY committed the crime as charged, without help, and elucidate and show how he might have planted the size 10's without even putting the shoes on.
Point out how CB altered her testimony.
Don't show the tape of JY's testimony, with their insipid cross examination. Try to make him get his butt into the witness box, by not showing it.
In fact in some ways the PT was even worse this time and they we pretty bad last time. Last time it was 8-4 for acquittal.
I have no idea how this jury will do, but I'm not hopeful for an outright conviction. But jury's are funny, maybe this one buys everything the PT is selling....
