I am happy that you made it there.

Thanks, I don't see that happening....

I think that I am missing something. How could "They get him on perjury" if he is found NG?

That is much different than what the jurors have been doing. They are untainted by much of the information that we have been discussing.

The DT is trying to paint a picture… one that this jury has not viewed before.

To me that is always the defining point between the State and the defense. The State has to give specific reasons why it is not reasonable that anyone else committed the crime while the defense can have the Anyone but JY Theory. They can try to paint a picture where the village idiots...

I would be shocked if he took the stand. I can't see taking a risk of a more incisive cross to counter the new information introduced at this trial. That said, he does seem to have the salesman mentality.

You have invested a lot of time and energy into justice for MY and the family. Do you think that you will go for verdict?

I don't think that they will. Remember the old rule, "Don't introduce a question that you do not already know the answer to." Have you had a chance to go to the court room lately?

I think that it would confuse the jury. It would be low hanging fruit for the defense to create reasonable doubt with statements like: The State can’t even tell you if he acted alone or had help, Which is it? How did is coordinate with this mysterious accomplice? We have documented all of...

If there is another mistrial do you think that the State will refile?

That is fascinating. The procedures that I am familiar with use a simple formula and do not assign blame for the dissolution of the marriage. Family down the block broke up. The husband had had multiple affairs. The wife had nine women ready to testify about the relationships. The judge...

Thanks, It is clear that I am ignorant of NC court procedures.

In NC there are subpoena powers for opposing sides in family court?
