Despite Gouker's mother's claims, Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Elizabeth Jones Brown said the police had "thoroughly investigated the case".

Josh Young's public defender "Schuler said the defense had a witness it wanted to present to the grand jury that indicted Young last week, but jurors chose not to hear the testimony 'for whatever reason.'"

Additional information about Gouker's mother believing he committed the murders and the reason why she says he did it was released in the media.

"Jessie says her grandson, better known as Little Josh, was set up by her son Gouker, better known as Big Josh. She says Gouker admitted to her that he killed his stepson right after it happened to get back at his mother. 'Him and Amanda were having really bad problems. She aborted two of his kids in 2000 and one of their marriages and he felt like it was a child for a child,' says Jessie.
