Glad to have you aboard. Glad you have jumped in with us -- so just hang on and keep your thoughts coming. Your "mountain" perspective will be a great addition to the bunch!:greetings
Thank you Borndem.
I guess I could possibly have a unique point of view since I live in JY's hometown and know people who know him and his family, and I often hear word on the street. I cannot imagine that he will be openly welcomed if he is granted bond and returns here.
I really wish I could talk to the DA's office about the trial (anonymously of course) because I generally do not automatically side with LE or the prosecution when it comes to those accused of a crime. I tend to be an independent thinker and like to look at the actual evidence before making a decision of innocence or guilt.
In this case, there are many things that point to JY's guilt, and I think the cross examination was not done well at all. I remember when BH said, "That's all I have," my heart dropped because, in my opinion, JY was given a virtual pass.
I cannot understand why more wasn't made of MY's purse being left untouched - especially since it was out in the open. A burglar, it seems to me, would have gone through that purse looking for any cash she may have had on hand. A burglar would be programmed to go to an obvious source of cash. The "burglar" had time to look for $500 in cash hidden in a wallet in a closet, but it never occurred to him to look in MY's purse. It just doesn't add up.
Also, the DA's office needs to address the unknown fingerprint(s) on the plastic cup that was on top of the adult cold medicine bottle - even if this means searching for a second assailant or widening the gathering of fingerprints of people who were known to visit the house - it could turn out to be a totally innocent explanation - especially if the assailant was wearing gloves, which seems to be a given. That could have been one of the things that held up 8 members of the jury.
