State vs Jason Lynn Young 2-10-12

[tarheellvr]

jason is a < mod snip > IMO JMO

I just want to reach in my laptop and strangle him!!!

I absolutely, unequivocally hate SLAYER YOUNG!!

 

[Prancy]

I'm trying to figure out what about the counselor's testimony was so risky that the state did not call her in the first trial. Anyone know?

 

[fran]

bbm: I thought she said that she does solution based therapy and that she works with an endpoint in mind and that Michelle said the relationship was not something that she wanted (in the condition it was in) but that she had a baby due in March so she was very upset/concerned about that

I think that's what this objection is now. not sure......She said she was working on a 'solution.' That's probably what's in that report the counselors are going over now.

IMHO, it appears this time around the pros is going for the whole nine yards. Showing MORE of the condition of their life and marriage just prior to the murder.

ETA, uh-oh, this therapists report includes something another therapist said about J, "anger issues." It's hear-say as the other therapist isn't here to testify to the validity. They want to eliminate that from the report.

for those not able to watch: MY told this counselor that is on the stand that they (MY and JY) were not communicating at all with one another: they were only communicating via email

 

[MrsWendy]

It seems as though the prosecution made a mistake by letting the email be read. It blunted the mother-in-law's testimony. She spent time on the stand telling the jury that she was a loving mother and grandmother who only wanted to spend time with her daughter and granddaughter while mean JY tried to prevent it.

But then the prosecution turned right around and presented the email which made it sound like JY simply felt that she was spending too much time there and even Michelle may have felt that her long visits were a bit much.

What do you think of him turning off his phone that night... with pregnant M at home with a toddler?

Does that remind you of other phone turn-offs :innocent: ???

He was in a hotel with a phone in the room ... everyone knew how to contact him if needed, just like in the days before the invention of cell phones.

Regarding the similarity in suspects turning off phones when they don't want to be tracked, I don't know what to say ... in the other case, the suspects are currently not guilty even though they turned off their phones on the night of the murder.

DT wants "anger issues" left out of the counselor's notes

 

[nursebeeme]

judge is saying the jury can already infer that JY has anger issues with or without the paperwork


objection is over ruled

entire document is in

 

[newMom]

Mother in laws can be meddling no matter whether they are from the North or the South, East or West. Here the MILS from both North and South were very meddling. Then with Jason's immaturity, this marriage was truly never going to work.

Amen to that!!! My MIL is pure "Southern" and has been a MAJOR bone of contention in my marriage... Doesn't matter where someone is from...

 

[otto]

They're trying to enter evidence that Jason had anger issues based on the psychologist's notes ... even though the psychologist didn't meet with Jason. It's something that Michelle said to the psychologist and the defense doesn't want it entered.

"It let's in expert opinion without proper qualifications" - defense

 

[Cammy]

I think the reasoning on not calling the therapist in the first trial might be the sexual assault on Michelle.

Maybe, the family wanted to keep that private.

But, I do agree, that this is all stuff that should have come in the first time..

 

[Mama-cita]

Thanks for the updates everyone. After watching the Anthony trial and subsequently being crushed by the outcome, I am not ready to "stomach" another trial. I really appreciate it a ton!!

 

[otto]

over-ruled ... with limiting that the jury cannot consider that comment for the truth of the matter, but can be used to consider the deceased's state of mind.

 

[fran]

Judge leaving the statement in and overrules objection. He'll instruct the jury that they can't take it for TRUTH, but the victim's state of mind that (she thought he did).

Judge is going to let the entire document in, but will give the instructions
to the Jury if the defense wants it.

The defense said No, just let it come in then.

 

[nursebeeme]

defense doesn't want a limiting instruction on the "anger issues" part of the counselor's notes


the meeting with this counselor was one week before her death

So, if you were a husband with a pregnant spouse at home with a toddler... you would turn off your phone???

Something happens to spouse... the only 'everyone' that knew what/where he was was his alibi set-ups IMO. Then LE has to call the hotel, get his room, then what if he is out SMOKING cigars or something. No way he can be found.
How about leaving your phone ON to prevent such an occurance.

Men do all sorts of things when their wives are pregnant that may not seem quite right to the pregnant wife or other women. That happens. If he routinely turned off his phone, took off his watch, put his wallet on the dresser before he went to bed, it's possible he followed that routine even when he was at a hotel.

Do we know that he intentionally turned off his cell phone? Every once in a while my cell phone will turn off during the night after the battery drains and I don't know it until I check it in the morning. Wouldn't it be possible that something like that happened that night?

says sex with jason is like when a guy tried to force himself on her in college
