Michelle Young Murder: Prosecutors Take a Closer Look at Husband's Testimony
By ANDREA CANNING (@andreacanGMA) , DAISHA RILEY and LIZ SANTAY

rosecutors are taking a closer look at the first trial testimony of Jason Young, the North Carolina man accused of killing his pregnant wife, comparing it to previous evidence submitted by the lead investigator.

Sgt. Richard Spivey took the stand Wednesday and Chief Assistant District Attorney Howard Cummings compared Young's statements to find inconsistencies, like what he did on the night of his wife's death, the shirt he wore to his daughter's birthday party and his financial situation in 2008.

Jason Young, 37, was originally tried in 2006 for the death of his 29-year-old, pregnant wife, Michelle, and is now back in court for first-degree murder charges after the trial ended in a deadlocked jury in June.

RALEIGH (WTVD) -- The prosecution called its final witness Friday in the murder trial of Jason Young.
Young, 37, is accused of beating his wife Michelle to death in their south Raleigh home in Nov. 2006. Their daughter - who was just 2-years-old at the time - was found next to the bloody corpse.

Prosecutors allege Young returned from a business trip in Virginia in the middle of the night to kill his wife and then secretly went back to his hotel room in Hillsville. Young maintains he never left the hotel, and his lawyers have said he did not have time to be all the places prosecutors claim he went.

On the witness stand Friday, a family law attorney testified about the custody dispute between Young and Michelle's family after her death.

Defense attorneys are spending the weekend deciding whether Jason Young, the North Carolina man who is on trial a second time for allegedly killing his pregnant wife, should take the stand on Monday.

Young, 37, was originally tried in 2006 for the death of his 29-year-old wife, Michelle, and is now back in court for first-degree murder charges after the trial ended in a deadlocked jury in June.

Young took the stand in his first trial and admitted he and his wife were having problems, however he denied killing his wife and said he had been on a business trip at the time of her murder.
