The case in my mind has tilted from what you need to believe to convict him to what unlikely things you need to believe to let him off.
- you have to believe the wife gave away his shoes that match the crime scene, yet a random killer wore the same size and sole pattern shoe
- you have to believe he left his hotel room unsecured for the purpose of having a smoke.
- you have to believe that CY's references to her father when asked what happened to her mother don't relate to what happened to her mother.
- you have to believe the pullover he wore the murder night, shown on camera, innocently disappeared from his truck despite there being no reason, other than it was evidence, for it having done so - the rest of his luggage that he had been seen with was present in the vehicle.
- you have to believe the gas station attendant who said she saw and talked with him, didn't (and you might).
- you have to believe he was really concerned about MY finding out that he might buy her a purse, that he was really worried about that as a reason to have MF come to the house ASAP.
Instead of needing to believe, it seems to me you have to go on a campaign of unbelief to let him off. Granted, the defense has yet to go so I mean only at this point of the trial and IMO.
No matter what I think on a personal basis for me when I go into a case I need a prosecution team to be able to connect the dots.
It is not about what I think of the individual. I may think the individual is a saint, moron, or a murderer.
In this case there are some areas that I am having some issues with that I believe the jury may as well.
First the PT has to connect JY from the hotel to the home.
1. Sorry the testimony of Gracie is simply unrealiable.
2. The rock means nothing and although it has been posted over and over here that JY's DNA matched the rock the reality is it did not match him and there are multiple profiles on it.
3. There is a mssing shirt supposedly but when I look at the video from the hotel I see 2 very different shirts being worn.
4. Security camera being fooled around with once again cannot be shown to be JY no matter how hard they tried to tie it to him.
5. DNA at the home. There is no DNA that puts him as the murderer.
Contrary to what has been posted here about a plam print in the middle of blood spatter is simply incorrect. It is above the blood spatter.
It has been posted the bottom of these shoes are RARE when in fact they are not. They are EXCLUSIVE to shoes made by a company called Hush Puppy and are found on at least 3 of the shoes they make. They are a popular shoe which many people purchase.
I am concerned that LE focused so much on one person that they did not adequately investigate other avenues.
Whenever I see this happen my radar goes WAY up.
Yes many cases have been tried on CE but usually there has been one thing that ties it in for me. So far the prosecution has not been able to do that for ME. We still have a ways to go but frankly I think I now have more questions than answers.
They could not tie the shoes to JY as both otto and I have stated due to the wear pattern.
I get that there are probably family members posting here or people very close to this case. I still have to look at the evidence that is presented and so far for me there are still to many holes that I need filled as this is how the jury is going to view it.
