State vs Jason Lynn Young 6-23-11

[cody100]

I thought this was a Hampton Inn. The gas purchase and mileage is compelling evidence though, folks.

 

[borndem]

Were there bloody paw prints at the scene? I don't remember hearing any testimony about that -- so what difference does it make that the dog was clean???:waitasec:

If the dog was not outside, JY put him there. Mr. G. did not bark when someone arrived and left at 3:00--4:30am or so b/c it was JY. MY told 911 that he was "going crazy" when she got there, probably because he was outside and didn't like it. MOO

Even if you found an empty gas can in the garage, that would be easy to dismiss as having been empty for mowing the lawn.

 

[otto]

They haven't found evidence of a gas can in the vehicle, but what about in the Young's garage? IF he used a power mower, there would be a gas can there. Too bad that's never been brought up.

A gerry can would have had to be found in his vehicle, or there had to be evidence that one was missing from the home. Neither is true in terms of what we've heard in evidence.

If his hotel room door wouldn't latch when he left the room, how did he sleep all night without a locked door?

IMHO, ANYONE in the circumstances he stated, the door wouldn't lock, would have called the desk immediately and told them 'my door won't lock.'

I know I would NEVER stay at a hotel if my door wasn't locked.

Hotel doors usually have an additional deadbolt.

 

[borndem]

The gas mileage might get him off. 7 gallons of gas wouldn't cover the trip home and back.

But another full tank would. He just wouldn't stop at 4 Brothers again... Of course he had to get more gas.... we've known that all along. Easy one to explain.

Where is the proof though?

 

[dgfred]

I'm wondering that too. Newspaper are usually placed on the floor, not the door handle. However, slipping a notice under the door may cause an unsecure door to open a bit - would depend on whether someone's hand bumped the door in the process.

One thing to add otto... hotel doors are kind of heavy.

Or the dog may have been locked in a bathroom downstairs and Meredith just doesn't recall letting him out. You'd be surprised those little details you forget when you're suddenly thrown into the type of situation Meredith was that day. She found the unexpected and it went downhill from there. She doesn't even remember where she left the keys, for sure.

IMHO, IF the dog had been running around the house, I think everyone would agree he would have been going to Michelle and there would have been bloody pawprints all over the place. PLUS, the dog barking would have woken a drugged child. C didn't move until Meredith was there.

I think he just put gas in his car from gas cans in his garage (lawnmower cans, etc.) after he was done slaughtering Michelle and leaving his toddler daughter alone with her dead body.

True....he just needed to get to Hillsville where his alibi is....he could have got just enough to make it to Duffield from anywhere in between Hillsville and Cliffwood. He got more gas somewhere the next morning.

 

[Skittles]

What about Michelle's car? There's a great big supply of gasoline.

 

[cody100]

All of these possibilities are true, but you now ask the jury to overlook the lack of evidence. Juries do like concrete evidence. The jury was taking notes on this.

 

[ncsu95]

This guy is doing a great job.

 

[JiminWilton]

State says no evidence of robbery... what sophistry. Robbery requires one to intimidate and be present before the victim. The missing rings and jewelry box drawers are evidence of burglary.
Labradors do not attack, but they do slobber and love all over you.

They might not attack, but they bark like crazy.

I knooooow!! Where's he been all this time?

My lab would bark like crazy from behind the door. Door opens, and she'd pee the floor from excitement. Didn't matter who it was. Then lick.

We seem to differ... what has he said that got you off the fence?

Think we'll hear about the size 10 bloody footprints? Will he explain the gasoline consumption argument?
