State vs Jason Lynn Young 2-15-2012

But, they can not tell how long it had been there.


I am ready for Miss Michelle Money,

BBM I watched her testimony last night. Goodness, she was something. Wonder if she regrets her smiling, trying not to smile, and just whole attitude.

Very strange imo.

You do know there will be a test on DNA here later.

I know I'll fail it. Just give me the F now.

How would anyone be able to testify to that? I just heard that the DA thought she had been drugged so she would sleep, but no one knows for how long.

The state's theory , or at last one of them, was the child was drugged and put to sleep in the master bedroom, because of the condition her feet were in .

The state later had another theory, the child was removed from the home, for the same reasons, and obtained a search warrant for Michelle's Lexus on
7/24/06 ( approx 8 months later)

Many of us questioned both of these theories.

Why would the murderer put her to sleep AFTER the murder? Wouldn't it make more sense before and during? :waitasec:

Because he knew the child was going to be left alone in the house for many hours. If she slept through most of that time period, it would be easier for her & himself.

 

[Boodles]

Jason didn't obstruct the police investigation or do anything other than invoke his right to remain silent. Invoking his right to remain silent is not the same as not cooperating. It's not his fault the DA can't build a case against him.

On this issue we have a major fundamental disagreement. I know he invoked his legal rights. However, it is also true that he refused to cooperate in any way, not even to ask how Michelle died or whether his daughter was ok. He hung up on the police. But this we already know.... I won't repeat all of the ways he refused to cooperate. And yeah, that was his legal right.

Did Jason work at or have access to a hospital? If so, I'm surprised he didn't nab a vial of someone's blood & scatter that around the crime scene. (Although, it's probably not a feasible thing to do).

Lol, you would think with all the trials we watch we would all be DNA experts by now.

They are back!!

Maybe not, but if there was blood spatter everywhere but on the hand print, that would be a good indication. A blood spatter expert could tell. (Dexter?)

Simple answer because he wasn't planning to call MF till afternoon. Meds would get her to sleep for most of those hours

 

[Cammy]

Talking about CY's pj's now.

Sample of cheek swabbing of CY.

Created a DNA profile for CY.

Eye dropper, matched profile of CY, not JY or MY.

Plus he refused to say at all where he was the previous day. Of course everyone close to michelle would have to account for their time. JLY made it far more difficult because LE had to discover his whereabouts from many other sources. Wasting valuable time, if someone else had committed the crime. A crime buff like JLY would know that, just as he knew to lawyer up before hitting town.

She was <mod snip> her pregnant "friend"/sorority sister's husband. Don't think she has any shame to
Regret her behavior on the stand...shameless!!!

So there wasn't a void in the blood spatter where the print was?

Also, if we're going to look the evidence as a totality, wasn't Jason supposedly wearing gloves to keep from getting scratches on his hands? I suppose he may have removed his gloves to put his hand on the wall while he attacked his wife with the other hand, then put his gloves back on to make sure that no bloody prints were left anywhere. I don't know ... gloves to justify some evidence, no gloves to justify other evidence ... doesn't add up for me whether we're looking at the totality of evidence or each piece in isolation. It seems to be that all along we're heard that he was wearing gloves, balaclava, long sleeves, possibly even a Tyvek suit, and now ... bare hands that were not bruised while his wife was supposedly beaten with bare fists.

Has anyone noticed how FEW objections there have been? Having followed the Cooper trial as well, there is a very stark contrast to this trial. It's really helping to keep things moving along...

 

[borndem]

Def talking about an expert hired by the Young family.

Godfried?

That's what I was thinking during the discussion. His name, which, if you address him, be sure to say "Your Highness" first and bow, is Maurice Godwin.

(You were close, october -- he might prefer the "god" part, AAMOF !)

You have your own right to think it is wrong but I believe jurors are specifically instructed not to take this into account. The defense likely asked each juror pre-trial if they would be hold his silence against him as well.

I actually think that her light hearted attitude strongly communicated that she did not believe for a minute that Jason was guilty ... which was the best thing she could do for him. I think a similar performance could help Jason in this retrial.

Allusionz, who posts on this case, has become very well informed about DNA through the Knox case.
