No case against JY? Lets see:
MOTIVE:
-JY basically hated MY or at least saw her as a real "ball and chain" who might end in an expensive divorce or continued frustration of his desired lifestyle.
-JY stood to profit from the death of MY: more than a million dollars.
-No one else known had anything to gain from her murder.
-Stated to other woman his regret, and how much it weighed on him, that he was now with MY instead of her.
OPPORTUNITY:
-JY had access to the home, and knew its layout and MY's schedule.
-From the time he exited the hotel at night to his next confirmed location, he had time to travel to Raleigh and back.
-JY seen exiting hotel. He had propped open his room door. He propped open emergency exit door at stairwell. Camera on same door he used is unplugged that evening. Camera is pointed up the following early morning (on his return).
-JY was identified on travel South of the hotel by a gas station attendant during the timeframe the state alleges hed be returning. Perhaps not a smoking gun, but at least the whiff of gun powder in the air.
EVIDENCE AT THE SCENE:
-Footprints matching JY's relatively rare shoes, and his size.
-CY mentions only her Daddy and Mommy, and no one else, while talking during the 911 call. When asked if she knew what had happened to Mommy, the first word she says is Daddy.
-No forced entry.
-CY spared despite witnessing the crime, and in addition apparently cared for shortly after the murder. Dog was sequestered during crime.
-Witness ID's similar vehicle to his at home during the timeframe of murder (other witness may have ID'd a different car as well).
-Murderer apparently cleans self up at the scene (no material evidence downstairs; water hose used) implying being comfortable in the home and willing to spend the time to clean up there rather than where he intended to retreat. Random killer could have cleaned up back at his unknown location, but instead does it hanging out with a child who is a witness?? JY had to return to a hotel that needed to remain sterile clean up at home.
-Only a few items taken; purse undisturbed, downstairs undisturbed.
ICING ON THE CAKE OF GUILT:
-Outfit JY had on leaving the hotel - the pullover is not in his truck the next day, despite JY's mother saying nothing had been removed at her house besides JY and his blazer.
-The shoes he owned that matched the sole and size of the pattern left at the crime scene are also missing, alleged by JY given away by MY to charity. So a random killer had the same size shoe and same sole pattern? Another unlikely thing you need to believe to let him off.
-Insane call activity the day of the murder.
-Doesnt contest custody for his daughter, which avoids having to answer for his actions.
-Doesnt contest wrongful death suit.
-Doesnt, ever, demonstrate interest in the investigation.
-Quickly starts trying to nail other women.
-No interest in seeing wife decently treated in burial.
-Sequesters CY from F family.
-e-mail to wife includes among the insults the statement I could kill you.
-recent web searches dealt with knocking someone out and the value of his home.
-while brutally murdered wife is headed to the grave he tells her mother of how he will have to take a hit on the home.
-prior violence against woman he loved.
ARE YOU SERIOUS??
-JY says he propped his room door open at the hotel; and then went back downstairs and outside to smoke. Hes going to leave his luggage in his hotel room with the door unlocked when he could simply take the keycard? Thats crazy. He did it so he could reenter without using the card.
-JY says he needed MF to go by the house to get the print out off the printer before MY saw it. Thats crazy. He had zero regard for his wife and no demonstrated interest in surprising her. His previous nights phone calls, on top of a couple to MY, apparently involved speaking with his bizarre mistress and telling MF that MY had lied about the fight they had had, and it really wasnt so bad he didnt throw things at her.
-Nasty craigslist activity, using daughter as prop (I dont have any pictures of just me).
WEAKNESS:
Franklin shoe prints (*cough* blisters on JYs feet *cough*)
No adult witness to murder
-
this just off the top of my head, i'm sure there's more!
