State vs Jason Lynn Young 6-09-11

[snowshuze]

Last conversation with Michelle was about Argument with Jason about Linda coming for holidays. Jason didn't want her there.

 

[snowshuze]

Her wedding in Oct 06, Jason and Michelle came.
Bridal luncheon Friday, boys went to play golf.
Saw Michelle at her parents, morning, upset. Fought about travel there, no anniversary present. Michelle was upset all weekend. Did not expect her that early.

 

[snowshuze]

I'm uncomfortable for ALL their friends, sheeesh.

 

[Madeleine74]

Oh geez. Their relationship was doomed from the start. Michelle deserved sooo much better. This man was basically an adolescent in an adult's body. Michelle deserved a real man.

 

[Madeleine74]

Notice how the witness is testifying about Michelle's mood, Michelle's statements, Michelle's actions.

and... that evidence is allowed.

and... the defense is not objecting to this line of questioning either.

bypasses the hearsay rule -- victim state of mind

 

[snowshuze]

OMG, Jason urinated on himself on a BET. ETA: He was naked, and in the Schaads livingroom. NOT unusual behavior.
Break for 15 min.

 

[RaleighNative]

OMG - JY urinated in her living room on a bet, then ran around the house naked.

 

[Madeleine74]

JLY is a vile, evil person. And cruel. And weird.

 

[Just the Fax]

No wonder MY was depressed.

What did judge say would be relevant but prejudicial? I got up when the jury was dismissed for break and then came back to the judge speaking.

Thanks in advance!

 

[RaleighNative]

Ugh, two people should never get married only because of a pregnancy. I can't imagine why they kept trying for another child. So sad.

And yet another reason why the theory (mentioned yesterday on this forum) that MF was involved because she was jealous of the relationship is absurd. How could anyone be jealous of that relationship?

Continuing with multiple and specific stories of JLY's weird behaviors in the context of the social group (urinating, exposing himself).

 

[snowshuze]

I'm just so confused why Michelle thought she HAD to be with someone like that. Pregnant or not. This ain't the 50's.

Don't know if any of the cooper supporters are following this trial, but hopefully if any are, they will see that the cooper trial was NOT different from 95% of similar trials. If somebody shoots you down in a hold-up, 'state of mind of the victim' isn't usually a determining factor. But if an *intimate* acquaintance murders you, 99% of the time 'state of mind' IS important to the *motive* and as you said, bypasses the hearsay rule. The cooper trial was, IMO, fair and just.

What a prince, now he's a real keeper. Mama Young, you done raised up a good boy. Wait, that should have been 'a good old boy'.

:maddening:

not sure which is worse this or the story about him swallowing the ring. i guess the ring because of what it represented but geez.

he never out grew being an adolesent much less into teenhood.
:sick:

 

[snowshuze]

I'm just gonna observe for while. Arthritis is acting up.

 

[Madeleine74]

Exactly, Gracielee. Hopefully, if people see THIS judge...a respected and senior judge, make similar rulings and see the same things that occurred in the BC trial, they'll realize this is the way it is in trials.

And, so far... we have a friend of the victim, testifying about things the victim said, her mood, her statements about JLY.

Well, I'm following this trial and regarding the Cooper trial I'm still firmly BII. I think there is a tremendous difference in, most importantly, the evidence in this trial.

Also, thus far, I am much more impressed with the ADA and judge in this case.
