State vs Jason Lynn Young 6-23-11

[LadyL]

ok, but his comments to the people around him should have an effect

 

[LadyL]

the unaccounted-for gas purchase would make no difference to me as a juror - he could get gas anywhere for cash

 

[cody100]

now she is getting in the groove.

 

[JiminWilton]

Wholly cow... do not convict because he was a bad husband or a jerk... you have, ummm, indicated at least a thousand times he was a bad husband and a jerk. How disingenuous.

 

[cody100]

He is an alley cat. But don't convict him for that.
Makes no sense.

 

[WolfpackWoman]

I think this is actually powerful. I like her point here. Don't convict because he was a cheater, but lying about working on the marriage, does go towards his credibility. If he lied on the stand about that, he'll lie on the stand about anything.

Although, I don't like her insinuations about JYL's love for CY. She can't know that.

The planning involved to make sure the Explorer got ~19.5 at each fuel stop was pretty crafty. Doesn't match with somebody who would bloody track up the house in his own loafers and then change into some size 10 sneakers just to confuse the investigators.
Doesn't fit with keeping a low profile and then making a scene during a surreptitious gasoline purchase.

She's so stiff - dry - no emotion.

There's lots of stuff that wold have been easy to get emotional about - how about an eye roll? or a "really? this is how you work on your marriage?"

Maybe I am just a fan of sarcasm - or a little bit of incredulousness

Ick. Not diggin' it at all. All the pauses are placed awkwardly, too.

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 have two guard dogs, so I know that they'll be docile unless there's something they need to tell me. I suppose I was thinking about the Young's dog as having been exposed to all sorts of levels of drunkeness (through Jason), possible outrageous behavior and numerous strangers, and wondering if such a well socialized dog would react as a guard dog.

How much longer does she have? I have to leave and can't bear to miss her ending!

 

[cody100]

cant be long

 

[JiminWilton]

Gosh... JY didn't speak with the detectives... NEWS FLASH.... Why didn't we hear this before?

 

[WolfpackWoman]

How much longer does she have? I have to leave and can't bear to miss her ending!

Not long, she got a time warning from the judge already.

Actually, that is a bit misleading. The defense said he got lost, but knew exactly how many miles he drove around lost to get to 19.5 mpg?

 

[cody100]

I love JS. He is efficient on time. 45 min lunch. LOL

 

[RaleighNC]

I had a dog growing up. Docile, mild mannered, loved everyone.

One day, Mom was home alone and someone came to the door. It was a friend of my brothers. he had met the dog prior when he was there with my brother.

He came toward my mother / got a little too close. Nothing "weird" at first glance - but it freaked her out.

he moved immediately between her and him and gave a low growl. there was no doubt he would have protected her based on her fear and his intuition. He knew she was scared - he reacted.

Dogs don't have little inner voices telling us to ignore it or downplay their fears.

If it was a stranger - or even an acquaintance - I have no doubt he would have been protective. Lab, Rottweiler or cocker spaniel.

 

[gracielee]

I preferred Howard Cummings to BH. JMO. Don't like her voice, her style, her delivery. Yes, she made some good points, but IMO, completely missed others. I would have said to the jury 'listen to the 911 tape, listen closely to it'............with the hope that the jurors will note cass' words in the background.

 

[fran]

I know someone who's dog saved her life, from her husband. As he had her down on the ground and was strangling her, the dog jumped in and attacked the husband. Of course, having attempted to kill the dog a few weeks or days prior, didn't help the guy ingratiate himself with the dog.

just sayin'

PS>...fwiw, I think the dog was most likely closed up somewhere. That's why he was going crazy when Meredith was there...fran

 

[jilly]

Powerful ending!!!!!!!! Tell jason young you're not buying what he's selling!! Got goosebumps! I think they both tied everything up very nicely!!

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

 

[Zamboni]

Could be wrong here, but didn't someone say that the 911 call tape given to the jurors had CY's comments near the end edited out as just blank air time?
