State vs. Jason Lynn Young 2-22-2012

[luckyme]

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.

Sorry im just getting frustrated! :waiting:

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

Thank you CS. He could have said it to Spivey though perhaps? It would have gotten the jury's attention.

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

Power cords and internet cables are always being left behind when people pack up their computers ... Jason may have packed up without the cord and thrown it in his car as an after thought.

He can't do that (make any sort of argument). He can only introduce evidence and query the witnesses. However, if you can't introduce a little argument through your questions, you should turn in your argyle socks. :rocker:

Probably. I guess I assumed the questioning was going to be similar (and effective) to how Det. Daniels was questioned in the BC trial but this feels nothing like that. It's hard to explain.

Me too, maybe they are saving something, do you think?

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

And to expand that, the opening is a statement (forecast of evidence only) and the closing is an argument (mostly anything goes).

He did indeed last trial...he speculated he had a pamplet in his hand
(before he knew it was USA Today)

He could show the picture, point out the item and let them draw their own conclusion....for me, a glove

JTF I commented to another post this way but what do you think of my observations below about why they showed those photos of JY approaching the counter and then seconds later leaving the counter.

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 pointing out that 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.

Beats me! I can only hope.:seeya:

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..

Huh?

How do you use an AC charger he needed in the hotel, in the car?

 

[Cammy]

Before Det. Spivey became involved in this case, I remember him saying that he was sent to the funeral home to observe behavior, so, he has been pretty much on this since Day 1.

That's just it. Each and every piece of the puzzle might have a 'he could have just....' explanation that's somewhat believable, but there are soooooooo many of those pieces it just becomes nearly impossible to believe ALL of them happened....let alone that they ALL happened on THE VERY NIGHT his wife was brutally murdered. (i.e. the door propped open, the camera turned up - and that just HAPPENED to occur at the very hotel he says he stayed at, and again on that very night.......the missing shirt that he just HAPPENED to wear that very night........) jmt

I used to roll with an inverter to charge up stuff or run the laptop w/ an aircard during boring rides. let's you plug an ac device in to your dc system.

Testimony is often tedious and boring and not at all like they make it look on procedural crime shows or law type shows. Wait and then tune in during closing arguments if you are waiting for something that pulls it together.

"Did you talk to Mark?"
"I left him a message."

LOL! Who's Mark?

he had something in his hand at the counter besides the water...he did key on that.
I have no idea what it was?

Unfortunately for the jury (and us), it appears the prosecutors did not have coffee (or Red Bull) for lunch. Yawn...

HC should be convicted of taking too long to phrase a freakin' question and inflicting cruel and unusual punishment on the jurors.

 

[thumbtack]

Man, are they (pros) slow. Didn't they just try this case a year ago? They make Gracie seem like a genius. (sorry, i'm done complaining.......for now).

 

[Cammy]

Beats me! I can only hope.:seeya:

Who knows?

I bet the defense is feeling a whole lot better..there was no big moment in Jason's testimony after all !!

:woohoo:
