Based on what? hearsay? Someone says he had it? But no bat is found, No clothes are found and not finger prints are found..
I don't know how to say this politely so forgive me.. But these are not mensa candidates here. I believe if JY had killed him or participated there would be something to link him to it.
I believe it is because they know who this kid really is. Not the kid that was subjected to JG for a few months. I believe whether JY was sent back or not, Trey would still be dead because it was JG who did it.
Fingerprints on what? The bat was never found nor his clothing. Just because the defendant gets rid of the weapon and clothing doesn't mean he didn't do the crime.
You rarely will find mensa candidates in families who are this dysfunctional so I certainly wasn't expecting to see any in this case. But even intelligent people can act pretty damn stupid since I have seen rocket scientists, doctors, and lawyers leave obvious evidence behind when they murdered. Perhaps it is because they weren't raised to be criminals and wasn't aware of what must be done when they did resort to murder.
The ADA in the sentencing phase for Gouker stated in open court that Josh Young videoed his father murdering the dog and laughing as he did so. That is not a normal person and never will be. Just because he looked like a baby faced nerd doesn't mean he is one either. Imo, he is vile and as wicked as his father. He just hides it behind the mask pretending to be a benign kid.
In a way this case reminds me of when Mel Ignato got away with murder. It was a CE case like most are..........like the Young case too. They had no forensic evidence whatsoever linking him to the murder of his ex-girlfriend but they did have an eye witness to the crime. The thing is though she was much like a Gouker groupie would be. Had a criminal past, used drugs etc etc.
She testified that she was there with him when he raped, tortured, and finally murdered his gf. She testified that he even had her video tape it he was so proud of what he was doing. Of course by the time police came to do a SW no video could be found. Gone.........just like Josh Young's clothing and the weapon he used was long gone by the time they arrested him in late June. So the jury of course did not believe this woman..........how dare she testify against this business man......she used drugs so she just couldn't be telling the truth. So the jury sets him free as a bird.
Later on though he had sold his big home (the one he murdered her in) and the new owner was having new carpet put in causing the carpet layer to have to remove the vents in the floor and yep, there it was the video showing the entire rape/torture/murder of a young beautiful woman just like the drug user testified truthfully to. Her family didn't get justice either just like the Zwickers didn't because all the evidence had been hidden however he was as guilty as Josh Young is. They both were just lucky. Josh got lucky by have an ex-felon for a dad who knew how to save him from going to prison. He said he would do it and he did. Ignato got lucky because he knew no one would believe a highly dysfunctional woman. A woman much like the ones we have seen in this case.
It doesn't take many brain cells to know to discard the weapon and clothing before anyone else who cares even knows the person is dead. He was brought up in homes where criminal activity was known and acceptable. This didn't just begin with Gouker. He grew up in a home with a mother who was a drug addict and had people in her life that were just as sorry as Gouker and his misfits in society.
The ones who know how to do crimes and get away with them are ones who have never respected the law during their lives in the first place. While most citizens aren't thinking of ways to cover up crimes these kind of people think of it often and are often good at it too. So many cases are unsolved today. More and more people know how to cover up crimes just like those in this case.
IMO
