State vs Jason Lynn Young 2-6-12

[Madeleine74]

Ummm....did you ummm....indicate that ummmm....

And in terms ummm of the festivities ummmm...

Obviously did not work with a speech coach. Believe that was probably the #1 item on the list of things the PT needed to address before trial #2.

This is awful..........BH is going to lose the jury, they are not going to like how long she is taking between each question.

I can see why the trial might take 6 weeks, we could be here, ummm until summer , at this rate.

BH is as unprepared this time as she was the last.

IMO

"Internet vigilantes" ... "driving to his house, taking pictures" ...

I guess you can get some scary people following these cases sometimes.

I thought this was not supposed to a rerun of the last trial?

At least they're showing pictures this time.

I'm so upset! We have new manager and I am not able to watch and listen to the trial live this time around. I'm depending on you all reporting what's going on in the courtroom because I can at least check in here every little bit. I guess I'll have to live with watching videos of testimony later in the evening after wral posts them.

Maybe it would be better to just watch the highlights at the end of the day, it is moving so slow .

Less, I can try and help you a little.

Right now, Michelle's sister is on the stand, they are talking about the layout of the house and laying foundation of Meredith's babysitting duties with Cassidy.

Also, there is a live blog at one of the TV stations, let me see if I can find it for you.

Plus, check twitter young trial for live tweets from the court.

I am so sorry you can't see it, maybe you could get an awful headache this afternoon and you might need to go home and rest....
Just kidding.

I think we all have to remember that we've all seen this before and know all the details. That in itself makes this almost boring. I don't believe those jurors feel that way though.

Hopefully, the pros has better questioning of some of the witnesses that will eventually be called. Also, remember! JY can't throw that sucker punch again. He already played his hand and it's up to the pros, now, to rebut it during their case in point. IF JY decides to AGAIN testify, I have no doubt the pros will be ready.

JMHO

They are talking about the car accident now, the defense is objecting.

The Judge made the Pros stop.

Lunch Break now until 2:30

The Judge wants to also address the objection made.

 

[otto]

Interesting point ... I was wondering the same thing. While it's interesting to hear about Michelle's childhood, I don't understand how it relates to the murder.

 

[otto]

Interesting ... the defense doesn't want the witness to offer an opinion about the time when the car went off the road. The prosecution is trying to introduce the car accident as the cause of the miscarriage ... to infer that Jason deliberately drove off the road ... basically, it seems like the prosecution is trying to allege attempted murder without anything more than opinion and speculation.

I guess this will be a repeat, with the difference being that all the rumor and speculation we've seen on the forums will now be introduced by the prosecution as evidence.

How did you get that from what we heard?
I sure didn't.

I agree, as the witness was not there, so I don't know how the Judge can allow it in.
They should just call the state trooper who ruled the car accident was just that, an accident.
So far, I give this morning a D- and that is being generous.
I heard someone in the courtroom yawn when they were whispering about something.

Hi girl, sure have missed you. I'm so sorry you can't watch live. However, nothing,,,,and I mean nothing,,,,,is any different so far than the first trial, unfortunately. BH is awful, but the def. opening statement (delivery) was just about as bad. We are just praying there is an intelligent jury this time around.
Check in as you can!

The witness was talking about the accident. The defense objects to the witness offering an opinion about the accident or the miscarriage. The defense objects to some of the testimony in terms of it not being relevant to the case: the murder. My understanding is that the prosecution is introducing the accident and miscarriage so as to infer that Jason deliberately caused the accident and that it resulted in the miscarriage. I suppose the defense will have to have a witness testify that a miscarriage cannot be directly connected to an event several weeks earlier.

The Pros is trying to get her to say that, but I don't see that coming in, as she was not there, so I don't see how the Judge can allow it.

Exactly. She wasn't there and doesn't know anything about it. All she knows is that Michelle had a miscarriage a few weeks after the car went down an embankment. The prosecution is trying to introduce an attempted murder allegation through the back door ... sneaky stuff of pulling the wool over someone's eyes.

Your understanding?
She was talking about a miscarriage, not an attempted murder.
Good grief.

How does that miscarriage relate to the murder of Michelle?

 

[Just the Fax]

How does that miscarriage relate to the murder of Michelle?

How does 90% of what MF said so far relate to the murder of Michelle?
It is background.
