Jason Young, Murderer Of His Five-Month Pregnant Wife: New Lead On The Case

Jason Young was convicted of being the murderer of his wife 11 years ago. The Raleigh man is seeking freedom with a third trial. 

According to strong sources, Jason murdered his wife, who was pregnant at the time. He was sentenced at the Alexander Correctional Institution in Alexander County for murdering his five months pregnant wife, Michelle. 

In November 2006, her dead body was discovered in their bedroom. It was reported that her entire body was bloodied, and her daughter was in their room unharmed. The authorities say that Michelle was beaten by her husband, Jason Young, to death. 

The Police added the couple’s 2-year-old daughter’s tiny bloody footprints were all over the floor and leading upstairs, which was Birchleaf Drive’s home. The authorities confirmed the blood on their daughter’s foot was Michelle’s. 

Later, the evidence collected led Jason to become the Police’s primal suspect, and he was arrested. 

Jason Young’s murder trial

In the court on Thursday morning, Michelle’s family and Jason were present for the third trial to begin.

Jason filed for the third trial because he claimed his previous attorney did not fight the introduction of a civil case and entitled him as the murderer of his wife. 

Judge Bryan Collins of the Superior Court came on stage as the first defense witness. His occupation is of a Wake County public defender, and in the third hearing, he represented Jason when he was convicted of the murder. 

In March 2012, Jason was convicted of killing his five months pregnant wife, Michelle. The first trial began in 2011, and the jury failed to come to a verdict leading to a deadlock of 8-to-4 for acquittal. 

He filed for another trial after eight months but was convicted again because the prosecutor introduced new evidence that wasn’t used in the first trial. 

The state Court of Appeals released a statement in April 2014 in which it was said that the Judge shouldn’t be in favor of the evidence about a wrongful death lawsuit and child custody complaint.

Jason admitted in the first trial that he wasn’t a good husband to his wife, but he was working on it, and he was not behind killing his wife. In the second trial, the jury was shown the video of the first trial of him testifying, as in the second, he didn’t testify. 

Previously, the Judge overlooked the civil case and declared Jason to be the murderer of his wife because Jason failed to answer the question raised by Michelle’s family in the civil court. 

In civil court, he wasn’t declared guilty or innocent. Then, Jason filed for a third trial at the North Carolina Supreme Court, but the case was sent back to the Court of Appeals. ‘An evidentiary hearing should be planned in Wake County Superior Court,’ the Appeals Court ruled last year. To Young’s appeal, there was no ruling on Thursday.
