State vs. Jason Lynn Young 2-22-2012

[PoppyMcTwist]

That's what I thought he was getting at when discussing the video. What was he getting at by pointing out the item JLY walked up to the counter with? I have no clue.

All I know is, my heart was pounding during that video testimony.

Just remember: every little thing they are showing and having Spivey comment on is a lie told by JY in his testimony in trial #1. Big lie, little lie, they are pointing out his lies, one by one by one.

There is no one big smoking gun! It's the totality of the evidence. It's the many, many lies. If you are waiting for the big Perry Mason moment followed by dramatic music...you will be disappointed. Circumstantial evidence cases are made up of many pieces. This is where having common sense is vital. The state will put it all together in context during closing arguments (hopefully). They can't do it now...they can only introduce evidence and have the witness testify to what each item means to them.

LE will tell you that perps, 'often give out information, before they're even asked.'

Do I detect a bit of *worry* on our boys face???

Not sure the money proves what he could afford. I agree with someone else here that legal fees could eat through this amount pretty quickly. He also had no way to produce new income, so he may have been considering that as well.

I also don't see how it really impacts motive. Depends on if the jury thinks $24,000 - $60,000 is a lot of money.

Not to mention that he could most likely see at least a teensy tiny bit of a likelihood that he might need a lawyer to represent him in the investigation into the murder of his wife and unborn child.

Yeah, still not seeing this as anything more than, well, nothing. Sure, his REASON for not fighting for custody might actually, technially be a lie, but I'll let the defense have this one. jmt

If we have no idea what the pros are getting at, they (we) are in trouble. Gritguy, please cancel plans & go there & take over for the pros - before JY walks!

We are back !!

I am waiting for the gloves to come in.

Now, that is going to be BIG......:biggrin:

What I thought he was indicating was looking at JY prior to going up to the counter and then seconds later going away from the counter he was inferring the exact same things were in JY's hands both times. To me that meant JY lied and did not get a USA Today at that counter. That is what I took from it.

Thanks. I know it does show deception but as long as that took, I thought it would be a much something much more significant.

Are we going to hear that the power cord was packed with the computer bag?

Agree, but the pros delivery leaves much to be desired. Hope they aren't losing the jurors.

They are going to allude to that, but there is no way of knowing where it was that nite......a little sneaky, lol.

Jason could have been charging it in the car while he was driving, for all we know..

After the video/audio of JY's first trial testimony ended this morning, could HC, before beginning with Spivey, turn to the jury and say something along these lines...'now I am going to dispute the many lies of JY in his testimony and we'll go one by one". Would that have been possible? Would it have made the jury more receptive?

 

[Grammy Jean]

Why in the world would his lap top charger be in the car and not in the computer bag that night?!

I don't think he can do that (address the jury directly). That's only for opening and closing arguments.

Spivey testifying that his job is to collect evidence and make it available to defense either through evidence room or through prosecution.

 

[gritguy]

To be clear on this thing about him giving up his daughter, I can agree the money was important to him though saving his butt by not testifying was obviously his pole star the last several years.

But money yes. I can see him thinking his daughter was not worth what it might cost. He's that kind of guy.

Very true about the excruciating details used by liars.

Someone who remembers little things down to the butt lint level 5 yrs after a seemingly innocuous hotel visit but doesn't remember the major stuff is not credible.

Yep, they use insignificant details and many words about NOTHING hoping one will see it as an answer...who cares what you were thinking as you close a door and how you touched the door and heard the door and thought about the door??? It is just a door you opened...not what we are concerned about!
