State vs. Jason Lynn Young 2-22-2012

What a guy. NOT

 

[cityslick]

Hes walking all over her!!! moo :waitasec::waitasec:

Exactly. He's got forceful, firm answers and there is no followup, like she throws a questions at him, he answers it with conviction and she slinks back into her box of questions.

To be fair no one had heard anything from JY about anything. SO BH had exactly one lunch break to prepare to cross examine. I still wish the judge had called an early close to court that day and let BH do her cross the next morning.

OTOH, she heard a lot during the trial, and still this cross was pathetic; he pretty much owned her. There's no valid reason for that. I'm appalled.

That said, sitting through the humiliation of this being replayed shows her dedication to nailing this SOB.

IMO

JY is smart. He doesn't contradict anything he knows there has been testimony regarding.

His not speaking to the police was so beneficial to him and very detrimental to the prosecution.

Amazing

Notice the difference between direct and cross. During direct, Jason's speech was stilted. In cross, he is not regurgitating rehearsed fake responses, and so his speech flows like a normal person's.

And notice how he's subtly getting agitated with Becky, you can hear the veiled snarl in his responses from time to time. And he's STILL ANGRY WITH MICHELLE over stupid crap like who rode with who and she lied about a message! This is so insane.

Yep. You can hear it.

Long time following this case...Oh my, this is like watching Legally Blond... no ill regard to R. Witherspoon!

Elle Woods was effective

Did he just deny having sex with that other woman at their home?

[NCB]

He's disrespectful and obnoxious.

 

[octobermoon]

Another woman????

 

[snowshuze]

Gettin' snippy. Back and forth.

True, his lies don't change even if the questions being asked are weak.

As to the excuse they (the state) didn't know he would take the stand I say "no excuses." They should have had a dream list of 500+ questions they wanted to ask. They should have had a couple ADAs going through the questions as he testified, to find and check off the questions that would relate to his direct testimony.

Linda Drane Burdick had such a list ready in case Casey Anthony took the stand! She's also able to think quickly on her feet, which I think is absolutely essential.

He took the DA's question to be 'the other woman's house' not MY's or his house.

 

[otto]

I think the prosecution has made an excellent case for adultery.

And he knows that, doesn't he? He thinks he's played/playing the perfect chess match. I sure hope not.....I'm holding out for a surprise ending just for Jason.

JY appears to have had the upper hand throughout this entire cross examination. He is the force, he has the last word about everything BH asks, he corrects her, she isn't bearing down on him whatsoever or following through with her line of questioning. I think listening and watching this time makes me more angry than it did the first time. Last year I continued to think there will be a big bang coming--and it never did. Sure hope the prosecution has worked out all the kinks and will kick his butt regarding his testimony this go round.

But on the bright side, BH gave the jury the chance to see how JY acts when questioned or confronted. As you said...he is the force, he has the last word. He takes the upper hand very quickly.
It could not have been easy for Michelle.

IMO

God how I would pay big money to watch Kelly Siegler cross this .

 

[twirlygurl]

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

 

[fran]

He has an answer for everything. Everyone else is wrong or lying. It' didn't happen.

What a guy.

NOT!
