Excerpt: RALEIGH - A judge in a civil suit has ruled that Jason Young killed his wife, Michelle.

The ruling in the wrongful death lawsuit brought by Michelle Young's mother was signed today by Wake County Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens. "It is, therefore, ordered, adjudged and decreed that the Defendant, Jason Lynn Young, willfully and unlawfully killed Plaintiff's decedent, Michelle Marie Fisher Young," Stephens wrote.
