It is all he has in defense of his "friend", the slayer, Jason Lynn Young. MUO

Justice for Michelle and Rylan!


I just don't get why he wouldn't go to LE with what he SAYS he knows and put an end to all of this.

Link to where Spivey has threated JASON YOUNG please.


Another thing KB should report! If KB KNOWS that Det. Spivey is threatening Jason, he should speak to LE about that as well.

If I knew 1/4 of the "facts" that KB claims to know about this case, no way I'd be posting on a message board. I'd be doing something about it.

I don't. Degree completion is almost always in April, but I don't know what year Meredith graduated. < snip >

MF graduated in 2002. I think she said something like, barely made it out alive. I guess she just wasn't the student that Michelle was.

She also wasn't found to be Michelle's slayer. I don't understand what any of this has to do with the fact that Jason HAS been named Michelle's Slayer and the Fisher's don't want Cassidy growing up with the man that murdered her mother.

I suggest that you either prove your allegations with hard evidence, or discontinue to slander the family of a murder victim.Slander? Slander refers to SPOKEN words.

And since this sounds like a threat of legal action, can you pls show where you have been designated the spokesperson for the family.

I was answering someone's question of when MF graduated. Did you miss that?

Did you not read the article last week on WRAL where some 'legal experts' said it had nothing to do with guilt or innocent that Jason was named 'slayer'. He failed to respond in time to the WDS and said he couldn't collect her insurance.

I'm not a legal expert so I don't know if they were right or not. Just telling what I read.

And the Fishers didn't care? Maybe there is a reason.

What needed to be settled? Everything was left to Jason. Nothing to probate in that will.

Seems to me that Jason could have used his position and his monies to at least give Michelle & Rylan a proper burial...complete with headstone.

Instead of blowing it on trips with mommie to Puerto Rico, Montana etc., etc., etc.

What financial sound guy leaves a million dollar insurance policy on the table, And forces his MIL to foot the bill for his wife and son's burial. Those costs were Jason's responsibility.

Why doesn't anyone make him accountable for anything? No wonder he is such a slacker.

I'm not a legal expert either, but I have a fair amount of experience along those lines. Jason having been declared Michelle's slayer has no bearing on a criminal procedure against him.

It does, however, have a bearing on the civil matter of Cassidy's custody.

And regardless of Jason's failure to file a response, Judge Stephens didn't adjudge him a slayer without evidence to support it.

JMO

ETA: Read the ruling. Judge Stephens made his decision based upon the affidavits, not the lack of a response.

So, he decided not to answer Spivey in court and give him info he could use against him. So then Spivey threatens to take his child and force him to give info Spivey can use against him. When the killers are arrested, none of this will matter.

So, trot out that 'hard evidence' you have that justifies your vile accusations against Michelle's husband.

The problem with this lame theory of yours, is that IF Jason were innocent, Spivey wouldn't either need to talk to him OR be able to get anything incriminating from him.

How do you sleep, praying all the while for a double murderer to get away with these crimes?

Dont' know if you have children or not but no two children in any family are the same. Some struggle other's don't. Michelle just may have picked up quicker on things in school but it sure doesn't make the sister a bad person.

Not only do I have children, I also have grandchildren. And yes, while all my children have done well some have had to work harder for it while some just seem to breeze (no pun intended) thru school and career.

I never said or implied it made her a bad person.

Thanks. It's surprising that someone who "barely made it out alive" was accepted into a master's degree program. Perhaps she was modest if she said that, because an excellent GPA is non-negotiable for acceptance in graduate school.

I'd hazard a guess that some posters here barely made it out alive from getting a high school diploma if that. Meredith couldn't have done too badly if she has been admitted to university to do her Masters, imo.

Do you know if Michelle flew through her degree or, in her opinion, only barely made it out alive? I sure haven't seen anywhere that she aced all her exams but it is quite possible she did.

I really admire people who battle through a degree (and I'm not saying Meredith did in fact battle or barely made it out alive - she may not have performed up to her own expectations); works at a job that many people would hate and then goes on to further their education.

That is the truth. If the rumor is true that Meredith is in graduate school, that tells me she has a lot going for her, and not "...she just wasn't the student Michelle was..." per Lindsey. Some will just snipe away at an innocent person, passively or aggressively. It truly is a shame. MUO

What makes you so sure she's in such a stable home right now? Do you have proof of this? No and neither do I. She has already been bounced from Jason's sister back to his mommy's house and no telling where else so imo that's not stable. Even if the Fisher's do not win this case and i have all idea that they will, at least the grandmother and the aunt will have visitation rights something they should have had all along. IMO It's very sad it even had to come to this because Jason could have let the family see her all along. All a sudden you all think he has stepped up to the plate what a laught on all of you. The man is a slayer and does not deserve his child imo.

The child has not been "bounced" anywhere and she isn't homeless. She has always had a home in a stable environment. LE have observed the child in her current home several times over the past two years and have not made any move whatsoever to call in CPS. Her caregivers have observed the child and they haven't alerted CPS. Friends have visited with the child and they haven't alerted CPS.

Visitation is a separate issue from temporary custody. Frankly, the sad outcome I see ahead for Fisher is not only will she lose her bid for custody but she might be faced with a restraining order.

IIRC, Michelle passed her CPA exams on the first try - that's exceptional. In fact, it seems that Michelle was exceptional in a great many ways.

It's truly unfortunate, IMO, that her husband wasn't satisfied with such an exceptional woman.

Do you know which school she's been accepted? Some are easier to get into than others.

But actually I've found that often students (male and female) who delay college are better students. Maybe she's matured a lot in these last two years.

I'm trying to figure out why Jason would want a change of venue in the first place. His attorney is also in Wake County, and attorneys bill their same hourly rate for travel. That means another 8 or so billable hours for an appearance in Henderson/Transylvania County.

Not to mention the fact that "bringing it home" is going to draw a lot more local attention, and I can't believe Pat would want all of those allegations explored in her home territory.

JMO

Cassidy doesn't reside in Wake County. It is unlikely the Judge is going to require therapists, caregivers, family and any other witnesses to travel such a distance to Wake County for this case. For that reason alone, the liklihood of transfer is great, imo.

Stellagant
01-18-2009, 06:22 PM
I can't see anything constructive about a mud-slinging fest, AE. It certainly won't benefit Cassidy, IMO.

JHP is right about Linda's attorney being skilled at mediation. Hopefully, it will be handled that way.


ETA: But even with mediation, there will be depositions.

Nothing to mediate. The claim is for temporary custody and for a psych exam of Jason.

Stellagant
01-18-2009, 06:26 PM
Attorneys of Ms. Stubbs' caliber typically bill about $350 an hour. That rate for 8-9 hours travel time to Henderson/Transylvania County is about $3,000. Why would Pat want to pay an additional $3,000 or so per appearance?

Why does cost concern you? If my child or grandchild's life was on the line, I'd pay whatever the cost of a good attorney and apparently Jason's done just that.

Stellagant
01-18-2009, 06:27 PM
In a civil case, is it customary for the judge to order the loser to pay all legal fees? How about in a frivolous action?

very customary to assign all legal costs to the loser.

Everything I've read about Michelle tells me she was a bright and shining star in everything she did. This world needs more people like her. I agree it's truly unfortunate that someone snuffed out that light and should be made to pay with the rest of their life.

I really get angry watching the LE in Wake Co waiting for someone else to do their jobs for them and bring the guilty party/parties to justice. I pray I never lose a loved one in any location but especially not in Wake Co. NC!!

You continue to claim that Meredith can be associated with drug use, yet your source, an unavailable personal page from several years ago, contained no information, statements, or claims, about drug use. You know this. Your claims are based on your assumption that the word high can only be interpreted as drug related. That is an error of interpretation and, as previously mentioned, reveals more about you than Meredith.

I suggest that you either prove your allegations with hard evidence, or discontinue to slander the family of a murder victim.

The personal profile page was linked here and I am allowed my interpretation as this is an opinion forum. I saw it as did others posting here.

In child custody cases, the judge's concern is with the child and she resides five hours away as do her caregivers. Plaintiffs know they bear the cost of expenses going into the case and they also knew where the child resided. They filed the case in Wake County for their convenience.

Cost isn't an issue with me, I'm just trying to explain to you why the COV most likely will be granted.

We don't know if that is true or not either.

I seriously doubt with the seriousness of the charges that are about to be levied upon each other, that a visit with C would be in the works.

Kat, it is very possible that this visit was seen by Jason's attorney as a good faith measure that would work in his favor in the custody suit, since one of the allegations is that Cassidy has been kept from seeing her maternal family.

Through her direct conversation with a caregiver, the poster Stella let us all know that Cassidy's caregivers are indeed contemplating a restraining order to keep Linda and Meredith away from Cassidy if they lose the custody suit.

I think that the attys and Judge Sasser would be interested in knowing they are thinking about it....in other words, they MIGHT seek a restraining order.

Spin it however you like, it certainly MIGHT make the judge think about what will happen to the child after the case is decided.

Again, I thank Stella for giving us insight as to what the caregivers are thinking.


I thank Stella too.

It is nice to know the caregivers are on top of things and C is well protected.

Kat, the custody matter is proceeding without the murder case being resolved. That's a fact.

And it's documented that Linda and Meredith have spent at least some time with Cassidy during the last 2 years, and there have been no accusations that anything bad was said about Jason. And I truly don't believe they would do that to Cassidy. Nor do I believe this is about revenge.

Don't you think it's important for Cassidy to have the knowledge of Michelle that only her maternal family can give? And for her to know that she didn't lose her aunt and grandmother along with her mother?

I was trying to use common sense. It was stated it was a high of elation. I pointed out that the day before she posted she hated her life. So name some other highs that law abiding citizens might know.


I always wondered why she said she hated her life and how she couldn't wait to move out of the house and away from LF, and now they want the court to think they are all going to live happily ever after with C?

I was answering someone's question of when MF graduated. Did you miss that?

Did you not read the article last week on WRAL where some 'legal experts' said it had nothing to do with guilt or innocent that Jason was named 'slayer'. He failed to respond in time to the WDS and said he couldn't collect her insurance.

I'm not a legal expert so I don't know if they were right or not. Just telling what I read.
Absolutely they are right.

Everyone knows that Jason moved back to his Mom's when Heather had her baby.......

If living with mom is all that peachy-keen. Wonder why Jason didn't move in with Pat to begin with?

Surely he knew his sister wouldn't let them bum off of her forever.

We were talking about some form of stability in C's life.

Good grief, all this concern for C , 26 months after the murder.!!

I am sure if things were all that bad, someone would have swooped in and rescued the poor child by now !!

If that's true, Leanne, that gives me a great deal of hope that the attorneys in this case will be able to mediate an arrangement that is in Cassidy's best interest.

It would be a good thing Card. I notice kingbuff hasn't refuted this allegation here or on the other board and it does seem in keeping with Jason's modus operandi. He allowed Linda visitation just before she filed the WDS. If Linda settles for visitation I hope she does so with the proviso that the custody issue will be revisited if and when Jason is arrested.

Through her direct conversation with a caregiver, the poster Stella let us all know that Cassidy's caregivers are indeed contemplating a restraining order to keep Linda and Meredith away from Cassidy if they lose the custody suit.

I think that the attys and Judge Sasser would be interested in knowing they are thinking about it....in other words, they MIGHT seek a restraining order.

Spin it however you like, it certainly MIGHT make the judge think about what will happen to the child after the case is decided.

Again, I thank Stella for giving us insight as to what the caregivers are thinking.

You seem to be the one doing the spinning, Big Al. I'm almost certain a restraining order is a legal action that must be initiated by a child's parent.

No the day care would have the right to get a restraining order if her name wasn't on the list to pick up or see the child.

I'm pretty sure a daycare doesn't need a restraining order. Somebody shows up who isn't authorized, a daycare can call the cops. (Which is what happened in Raleigh early on when the media showed up, imo.)

Do you think they all got together, Jason, Michelle, and MF to celebrate?

Just trying to piece the last few weeks of Michelle's life together.

Do you know which school she's been accepted? Some are easier to get into than others.

But actually I've found that often students (male and female) who delay college are better students. Maybe she's matured a lot in these last two years.

IMO

Like I said, an excellent GPA is non-negotiable as a master's degree entrance requirement, so it doesn't really matter if the school is "easier to get into" or not. "Easier to get into" usually refers to quality of the school and number of applicants, not quality of student.

By all means, you are welcome to interpret the phrase "coming down from a high" as illegal drug use. You are not welcome to infer that Meredith intended that phrase to be in any way related to illegal drug use, nor can you claim, based on your drug related interpretation, that Meredith had anything to do with illegal drug use.

If it is your opinion that a high exclusively relates to illegal activities, I think it is your responsibility to clarify, for each and every time you falsely accuse Meredith of using drugs, that it is your opinion based on your definition of "a high".

Interesting. I'm more saddened that JY hated his life so much that he resorted to an affair with his wife's best friend (among others) and seemingly had a hard time coping with love, life, and holding down a job for any length of time. He had a beautiful wife and child right in his own back yard yet needed to seek solace outside the bounds of marriage. What's with that? Didn't he get a smarmy text from his paramour about how she was so sorry that his life was so awful (paraphrasing)just a week before the murder? That mean old Spivey put that out there for all to see. How dare him not keep that to himself. I don't feel a bit sad for Meredith but for that she mourns the loss of her beloved sister. Other than that, yours and others unkind comments about her, are dust in the wind. I hope she doesn't read here. OTOH, maybe she does and doesn't care considering the source. More power to her.

Not true. We've been over this many, many times. It was stated that she was coming down off a high. You, for unknown reasons, have chosen to interpret that as drug use. Most understood that as a natural high, such as what one experiences after completing an undergraduate degree.

<snipped to remove third party comment>

In your real world, maybe coming down from a high means alcohol and drug abuse. In my real world, it means an accomplishment. In the real world of sober, clean, accomplished high achievers, being "on a high" is a good (legal) thing. For example, I have a friend who is on a huge high because her career is soaring. She's so excited that everything is falling in to place. In a few weeks, she may say that she is coming down from a high, but I would never think that she had been drunkenly peeing in corners, or too stoned to speak.

This is something I have seen in a number of custody cases.


ETA: I think I'd hold a huge grudge against the person who murdered my daughter.

Holding a grudge isn't emotionally healthy nor should a child be exposed to it. Visitation is up the the parent totally, not the grandmother who does not have custody.

I'm responding to both of your posts here. I call bull. Coming down off a high means someone is sobering up. And you know it was on her MySpace page which is why you are twisting it so hard to mean she was happy....because it looked bad for her.

ITA. The only opinion that really matters is that of the judge and I'm pretty sure attorneys on both sides know she'll reach the same conclusion. It also won't surprise me if the claim for custody is withdrawn shortly.

Visitation is clearly up to the custodian of a child but very many custody cases are resolved out of court by the parties reaching agreement on visitation for the party seeking custody. There is no doubt that holding a grudge is emotionally unhealthy. Believe you me, I know it. I've held a grudge against the woman who caused my brother's death 24 years ago. Would I like to let go of it - sure, but as long as she never answers for what she did, I doubt it will happen.

Jason is the parent of the child and visitation is up to him. No parent in their right mind would agree to mediation under these circumstances. Jason's attorney asked for dismissal and transfer. That means she's prepared to fight no matter where it lands.

You may be right. By the same token, she may feel that Linda has a fair chance of success and feel that mediation which only involves visitation for Linda would be preferable to having Jason deposed and subjected to psych. evaluation. It is SOP to ask for dismissal and is no indication, imo, of the merits of the case. I think there is as good a chance of the matter not being transferred as there is of it being.

BTW, I'm not ignorant and there is no need to point out that Jason is the parent and visitation is up to him. Your opinion that no parent in their right mind would agree to mediation under these circumstances, does not sway me as I've seen exactly that happen in numerous cases during 25 years of working in both the criminal and family law arenas - although, to be honest, I don't think Jason is in his right mind.

I suspect the timing of this visit was either the court ordered it or Jasons Attorney strongly suggested it.
Jason may not have had a choice.

I think so, too, JHP.

I also think that as, um, fascinating as the discussion of the meaning of "coming down from a high" is, it doesn't matter at all what anyone here thinks it means. Unless one of us is the judge in the custody case?

Strictly my opinion.

Someone said the Fishers were granted a visit with Cassie? What a magnanimous gesture from Jason! How many of us would be so generous and forgiving? I'm afraid I would hold a grudge against the Fishers but I would pray for the same spirit Jason displays.

I'm sure the timing of the "visit" isn't lost on the Fishers.

Jason has been around his family for so long, he must think everyone is an easily fooled as they are.

MOO
