This wasn’t a case I was familiar with but after seeing his picture on page 1 I couldn’t help but read the whole thread - what a lovely person he seemed.

The case presented in court I thought was bound to get a conviction - I can’t believe 1 person on that jury truly believed that Harrington was not guilty of murder (due to the short Jury discussion time I’m guessing he/she was adamant they wouldn’t change their mind)

If I was LE I’d be looking closely at that jury member was there any unknown links to the family or family friends - I just can’t see how any ‘neutral’ person could find him not guilty.

Hopefully now the body has been found they’ll get more evidence to secure the conviction.

RIP lovely boy.

“It’s not over. Now we refocus, we lock in, and we finish the job. There’s still one thing we want and that’s to get justice,” he said. “We wanted Jay home for his family and that’s been accomplished, now it’s to finish the job.”

Really good article here interviewing the Oxford police chief. He talks a lot about the Lee family and the journey they have been on together.

Really beautiful article with an overarching message for all.



I’m so happy that the Lee family can rest just a little easier these days and that they had such a great support system in the most turbulent of times. Bless the people that take their jobs personal.

I was moved also and thought it was a refreshingly rare response from the chief.

So, I would also take from this that, evidence has been gathered and a forensic anthropologist has examined his remains since they have been released to his family.
Which is astonishingly fast but I'm sure the Chief wanted him back with them as soon as possible..
Makes me believe the team gave it top priority which is great.

Yes, I think that sounds about right and Hail State, by the way!

Just came here to post this. Article says Aafram Sellers is the new lawyer. He is from Jackson, MS, where Jay Lee is from. Seems whoever was there at court during his arraignment was only a temporary stand-in.

MOO

Here we go.
I wonder if this charge is tossed, would he be free to be on bond as he was previously until trial happens again?
