lawyered right up in applebees parkinglot!!!! moo moo moo Didnt even make it back to town. moo
On the night just after the murder, without future consideration of JY's ultimate guilt or innocence, being met by the LE, having your vehicle impounded under a search warrant, your luggage, and your parents luggage, as soon as you arrive, then lawyering up seems very prudent.
Remember, at this point in time, the LE has not yet busted JY alibi, they have not id'ed the shoe prints as JY's, in fact they have no earthy idea whom is responsible. But their first suspect is the husband with the deceased wife.
If he did not get a lawyer @ Applebee's, he sure as hell would have got one about 5 minutes after he got to his SIL's house.
Get a lawyer given the circumstances, guilty or not guilty, seems very prudent given the actions of the LE in totality on that night.
Subsequent details, JY actions and evidenciary revelations appear to have proved the LE right, that JY was indeed guilty, but getting a lawyer by JY at this point in time was smart, even if he was somehow innocent.
