State vs Jason Lynn Young 6-23-11

[Wyn]

I guess poor Jason chewed the end of the cigar off since he didn't realize he needed to cut the end. Poor guy, been smoking cigars since he worked at, was it Black & Decker, yet was unprepared to smoke the one he supposedly had with him at the HI. :waitasec: Methinks Jason's lie was just exposed.

I think so, Otto. It was not much.

 

[otto]

Cigar lie just went down in flames.

I know people that occassionally smoke cigars and they often buy one or two singles. He said that he used the entire match package to light the cigar, which makes sense since they take some effort to light.

 

[otto]

I can't watch this morning. What did he say?

He said there was no lighter, box of cigars or matches in his luggage.

 

[cody100]

He probably did chew it off, Wyn. I have seen guys do that so it is not that unusual. Heck, I just realized you were supposed to clip it off. Then I do not smoke cigars or cigarettes. LOL

 

[Wyn]

I can't watch this morning. What did he say?

No evidence of a cigar. Possible maids/cleaning crew could have disposed of one but no smell to his clothes (and they would have smelled), no clippers to clip the end of the cigar, no lighter or matches found in his suitcase or vehicle. Basically, for someone who brought a cigar along to purposefully smoke it on the trip, he had nothing a regular person would have in order to do so.

I think he's doing a great job. I hope he keeps it up.

Ahhhhh, that's why the statement about using up ALL the matches :innocent: .

What a great point about why he chose this HI instead of the one closer to his destination. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to stop where he did.

Hey I believe him! If I totally suspend all common sense...........

 

[RaleighNative]

Agree. He is wrapping up the entire case and evidence in a concise way...and addressing most any issue which may raise doubt in a juror's mind. I also love his use of visuals....visuals are always very helpful to me.

Aha! He just covered the woman/post office worker's statement. She said if LE wanted to be sure it was the day in question, check with the newspaper. It was a different delivery person the day she said she spotted the people coming out of that driveway.

The pros did check with the delivery person. He was the very last witness. He stated he WAS working that day and in his usual vehicle, the plain, white, minivan.

Pros said 'she was thinking about another day.'

JMHO

There are two dead horses lying at the feet of the State. One is Jason's alleycat morality and the other is his refusal to speak with folks who wanted to blame him for the murder.

Enough is enough.

 

[fran]

5 minute break

 

[otto]

Half listening again ... but did the prosecution address the gas question?

 

[cody100]

Nope. I did not hear any address of the gas question

 

[fran]

I like the end of this guy's talk. The def said the pros doesn't represent the people, but the government.

This pros said, they represented the victims, Michelle, Rylan, C, etc.

[Wyn]

Really wish they'd show the jury the "You came here for THAT!" video clip. Busy playing basketball with his buds, murder of his wife completely irrelevant to him anymore. Thought he was home free I suppose.

BH is going to cover the trip, so I would imagine she will address it then (hopefully).

No cigar smoke in the suitcase either.

on another note - I just realized they didn't even find his gloves in the suitcase.
