Last week when this broke, I found the facebook page for the woman in Burlington who started this (everyone knows, her first name is Jennifer). She had five or six wall posts at the time and they were all about crime stories in the Triad area. This case was Triangle, of course, but as I noted in...

This is a great point...Jason never grew up, simple as that. Being the class clown and life of the party is typical for children, perhaps even stretching through college/early 20s. But at a certain point, most people grow up, or at least know the boundaries of what is socially acceptable. A...

I'm back, and aiming to be on my best behavior. :) I felt such relief last Monday afternoon. Finally, a jury reached the only unanimous verdict 12 people would ever find in this case. Like many in the Triangle region and even beyond, I've followed this case since day 1. Last year's mistrial...

They did not state what was purchased with Michelle Young's credit card , that is correct. You can get lots of trinkets and such at tobacco stores, in my experience, that are not smokable. Certainly interesting that the defense waved a 2004 purchase with Michelle Young's credit card, as...

Y'all are aware of the tradition of buying cigars to celebrate the birth of a child? The timing of this purchase, with new mother Michelle Young's credit card, makes it kind of obvious. And no, I wasn't suggesting Michelle smoked cigars, only that many have testified to Jason young's abhorrence...

Someone using Michelle Young's credit card made a purchase from a cigar store in Tampa, during a family trip to visit - ironically - Michelle and Mr. Money. This was in 2004, within a month of Cassidy Young's birth. Strictly going by the evidence, Michelle Young made some purchase at the time of...

Jason wasn't completely incompetent, unfortunately. Therefore, he was intelligent enough not to leave a fingerprint on the camera...I mean, duh...More unfortunate, Jason was and is completely and nothing but evil.

If Jason Young's defenders cling to the fingerprints! camera! line...well, you have to be smarter than that.

Lol...you just made a verycompelling argument that I had not considered for Jason Young's guilt. Wore glove for better grip while wielding lifehammer tool. Thanks for that, reason #4,000,001 showing Jason Young as the brutal sociopath murderer.

Just dropping in to say (again): if you are planning a murder, you plan to leave "evidence" that points away from yourself. One of the easiest ways of course is shoes and prints that are too small. <modsnip>.

Amen...this case feels more personal to me than any other of the "sensationsal" crime stories in my lifetime. I live in Raleigh, went to school in the Triangle, overlapping the characters from this trial, and I have roots in western NC. I also have a pre-K daughter, and a wife with roots in Long...

A logical and obvious observation. But as for the $500, that's Young's own words. Meaning, a lie. Given he did not even file a claim for all the "stolen" items (nor report them for 6 months!!!), it's pretty clear. The only thing missing from that house was Michelle Young's rings -- Jason and...

Mr. Arrington is a former law enforcement officer. He heard talk of Cindy Beaver's tales and spoke with her privately about what she'd been telling people. As a good citizen, and having that background, he pushed Mrs. Beaver to contact Wake Co. Sheriff's Dept. She resisted. He made the call...

It's been said a few times throughout this thread and it's worth repeating here at the end...if Jason Young's family was interested in solving this crime, they would have reported stolen items as quickly as possible. Pat Young's pathetic lie was that she waited six months because she was...

Given the element of surprise, the fact that she was asleep and five months pregnant, Jason Young didn't expect her to have a prayer at fighting back. And truthfully, she really didn't. But even the act of self-defense and grabbing her own neck and covering her face, that awakened the Jason...
