State vs Jason Lynn Young 6-21-11

[Prancy]

I've been out and am just catching up on the messages. What is happening right now? Did the judge prevent someone from testifying?

I lost my place for a few seconds and when I returned it looked like the judge was reading a stipulation. What was the stipulation for??? One was for the price of gas at the time, but what was the other one?

 

[borndem]

So the other sister isn't testifying? Darn.

Agree, but I think maybe they think cross would be possibly risky.

Absolutely. If she posted online, that would backfire on her immediately. We all remember MH and his websleuths post.

Defense said all they had left was some stipulations. Judge allowed a written statement from Faye Hensley. Judge told jury it is what she would have said if she were here as a witness. We haven't heard contents of statement.

Anyone know who she is?

 

[raisincharlie]

So no Godwin ? Can't say I am surprised he will not be testifying if that is the case.

What about his P.I. sitting there, him neither. Can't be a good thing.

 

[fran]

Yay, they have pictures of WHEN the couple were happy.

Well, what about 11/02 - 11/03?

What about in Sept and then Oct when J was sleeping with other women?

What about a week or so before Michlle was murdered when J was done with it?!

JMHO

[borndem]

Does anyone know what this witness would have said?

I hope the statement will be on WRAL later tonight, as the emails were...

Did they say why this witness would not be in court? Did I miss that?

 

[cody100]

No, they did not say why the witness would not be in court. WOnder what prosecution might use for rebuttal.

 

[gracielee]

That was definitely an unsettling way to end the defense testimony. I stated before defense started that I was in the "guilty" camp, but would not be prevented from moving back over with hugely compelling. I'm still feeling guilty, but am sitting much, much, closer to that fence now. I can see this being a very difficult decision for some jurors, particularly if there are those on the jury who feel another recent case came out the wrong way.

I would think that question would have been weeded out in jury selection process. My youngest daughter was called for jury duty while she was still a student at NC. State, and one of the first questions asked of her was 'if she had anyone involved in a car accident?' And she said 'yes, my oldest sister has just recently been involved in a car accident that wasn't her fault'. She was immediately dismissed as a juror for the case. It obviously involved some sort of car crash, we deduced. The screening they put juries through in lengthy or high profile cases, is intense.

No, they didn't say.

 

[Skittles]

There are a surprising number of Faye Hensley's in NC.

The 2 witness timelines do not match.

NYT delivery gal sees a light colored SUV somewhere around 3:30am, possibly as early as 3am.

Birchleaf resident mail carrier as her encounter with someone on a Friday at 5:30am.

JMO but, I can't think that statement could be anything of real value, and be stipulated to. I could be all wrong, but it doesn't seem to me the pros. would 'give up' their right to cross examine, and simply stipulate, on something that is extremely important in nature. MOO

I sure did enjoy her description of the car she says she saw...

 

[RaleighNC]

Defense, IMO, was a bunch of disjointed gobbledegook with nothing that casts wnough doubt on who the real killer is.

I see this case as pretty strong and I predict a short deliberation.

When do we think the jury will get this one? tomorrow?

I would say verdict by end of day Thursday - easy.

And possibly as late as 4:00am.

I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility to conclude that the car was there at 3:30 and there at 5:30. Particularly if there was some cleaning, drugging of a child, and cleaning themselves off at the hose out back. Honestly, it makes it look more like a hired job to me.

 

[raisincharlie]

Where did JY go ? He aint sitting in his chair.

He's back, never mind.

 

[cody100]

I don't think the timeline is off so much that it might not be possible the vehicle was still there when the postal lady saw the vehicle. If this is true, it would preclude JY as buying gas if this was JY. I am puzzled.

 

[Madeleine74]

I don't believe it was a hired hit. There is no evidence that indicates JLY contracted with someone for a murder-for-hire. The only thing suggesting that is size 10 shoe prints in addition to the size 12 prints in blood. It is not inconceivable that JLY wore 2 different pairs of shoes to create that scenario; in fact, that is exactly what I think he did.

I don't think it will necessarily be a fast verdict. I'm guessing by Fri afternoon.

 

[lib's mom]

Mrs. Henley's written statement is going to be regarding something that went on in "Enchanted Oaks" that morning. Guaranteed. Of course, IMO.
