State vs Jason Lynn Young 6-23-11

[JiminWilton]

And...uhmmmm.... with regard to...I was hoping this would be a change from ten thousand uhmmmms, 5673 sentences prefaced with 'And', and 1124 instances of "you indicated."

I can't decide whether this is better or worse, but it's certainly well-plowed ground littered with dead horses.

The dog was Jason's before the marriage, and was most likely introduced to a lot of people through his and Michelle's social circles. I doubt a dog that had so many people around would be a serious guard dog.

Dogs are amazing creatures. They have excellent intuition. They would have KNOWN if someone else was in that house for bad purposes. That dog would have been going nuts is someone he did not know attacked Michelle. He would have picked up on her terror and gone after the attacker.

Dogs know. The most mild mannered animal will go crazy when something is that wrong. He also would have been VERY protective of that child.

good dogs take cues from their masters - if you are scared - they know it and they react.

As a note - police will tell you a dog is the most effective deterrent - perps don't like barking dogs - they draw attention to the scene. nevermind the possibility of being bitten.

If someone had put him in a closet - he would have tried frantically to get out - unless maybe it was Jason.......

I'm following NBC - the camera flashed to jason. He was rocking like crazy in his chair.

That's at least twice now where she said "what you'll learn" and had to change it to "what you have learned". This is worse than Cummings.

 

[happy2binNC]

Get to the gas mileage or you are going to lose this case, BH.

 

[cody100]

Actually surprisingly, Cummings did a fairly good closing argument compared to this.

 

[Zamboni]

Okay, gas is addressed.

 

[WolfpackWoman]

Okay, that's a huge misstatement of fact. I don't think you can say that "was a rock with the defendant's DNA."

She's not doing well. She seems disjointed. Her opening was much more persuasive.

 

[fran]

Aha! The def didn't want you to know about the cash gas purchase. We may not know of another purchase made at the time the def SAID he was lost. It may have been another cash purchase and he didn't yell at the clerk. The canvass didn't cover the other areas.

Gee............sounds most likely to me.

JMHO

Does she have a power point? that would have helped her stay on track and jurors seeing the written word / bullet points will make a more lasting / higher validity impression

 

[BirdHunter]

They might not attack, but they bark like crazy.

And if they don't know you and sense danger they growl!

 

[JiminWilton]

Folks, I'm just not happy with closings that suggest "he might have" or "he could have". (speaking about her comment about the gas mileage). Might as well argue "we have no proof, but he might have done it."

 

[cody100]

Gas is somewhat addressed. LOL at the rock statement. Guess they can stretch that in closing.

 

[RaleighNC]

liar liar pants on fire - he's talking WAAAYYYYYYYY too much on this message to go get the damn printout.

Good Lord - SHUT UP!

Too many details...... adrenaline, etc.

LYING.

She's showing something on the big screen behind her. Just not on the TV the way DS did in the first section of their closing.

I rather think the defense was objecting to identifying a suspect based on a single photo rather than a photo array. LE witnesses admitted that it was abnormal police procedure.

I don't think the gas mileage issue has been resolved satisfactorily.

And ummm with regard to more gas, maybe the gasoline he allegedly purchased in King was SuperAmoco and offered 40 mpg.

Keep trying.

 

[Zamboni]

Hearing these messages is really powerful.

 

[NCB]

I wish Chad would show the projection.

 

[LadyL]

I don't know that playing these messages is going to have the effect on the jury that the prosecutor thinks they will. I'm really frustrated with this prosecution.

 

[Zamboni]

By the way, imho he made another cash gas purchase at the same time he was getting dinner at the Cracker Barrel. The dinner was a cover for stopping at that time (he knew he's be pinging that cell tower during the stop.)
