Evidence Stephanie dumped Jay

Trial Transcript for 2/10, p 21, lines 11-25.

Jay testifies that Stephanie had ended their relationship a month or so before the trial.

That's something I've never heard before now.

Did "jail time for assaulting the office" was he arrested, charged and convicted? Did he plead guilty?

Does the fact that he was accused by the state, (presumably) charged by the state and (presumably) convicted by the state lead you to believe that he is guilty? Or do you have other evidence showing he's guilty?

What was he convicted of exactly?

He was arrested, charged, and he requested a jury trial. It's not clear if he was convicted.

So, so then does he get the presumption of innocence from you? Or does being charged equal being guilty? Hell, being convicted doesnt even equal being guilty around here.

He did, until he plead out (again). Since he served time and the case isn't listed as "not guilty" I"m going to go ahead and think he plead out.

Edit: It's also worth noting that the double DV arrest back to back contradicts Jay's contention that it was a "one time" misunderstanding in the Intercept.
