CA - Joey, Summer, Gianni, Joseph Jr McStay Murders - Feb 4th 2010 #2

[Mony Mony]

So he is saying JM cut of the profit was 35% and his cut was 65%. Really?

 

[missy1974]

According to Chase, he made 65% of what they made on the water falls, Joey made 35%.

 

[Edmo]

Notice how he tries to paint the victims as not getting along, Summer spends too much $$$ etc. Painting them as having problems and JM giving him access to his money, rather than Summer knowing how much JM made. He's trying to be the "good" guy in their relationship, lol. You're NOT that clever CM !!!

 

[missy1974]

This is on the 17th, 2 days after they have been reported missing... he says Dan called him 'last week' to ask 'what are we going to do?'

 

[asyousay]

So Dan owned the website and Joey was buying it off him and then Dan would be paid to just run the website.


I am confused as to why Dan would own the website?

 

[missy1974]

He says he did his finances??? whatever!

 

[Bernina]

Does anyone have a link for a transcript of this interview?

 

[Plumeria5]

Hard to hear...did he say MM was psycho? And so what if Summer shopped at Ross. Great
prices and she was saving money by shopping there.

 

[tmar]

Could he be elderly and sickly now?

More than any other witness I hope Merritt takes the stand.

Whether he does or not the prosecutor is fully prepared to cross examine him if it does happen.

Although it doesnt happen often I thoroughly have enjoyed the trials of those who did.

It's a different game then and many things that may have been ruled inadmissible as too prejudicial will come in since he/she has given up his/her right not to testify.

It also greatly diminishes the appellate issues if the defendant testified in their own behalf and was convicted.

I know the state is hoping he will and he is narccistic enough he very well may testify.

It was the highlight of Daron Wint's recent trial to me. It helped seal his fate even more.

Similarly in the van Breda case.
Having the Defendant testify, revealed his arrogant, cold nature and pack of lies.

 

[missy1974]

I can't wait to see the financials ..... lol

#McStay - Merritt says he understands Dan Kavanaugh owns part of McStay's business. "Joseph was buying him off. Joseph wasn't' happy having to pay him so much." Merritt says he has never met Dan. The first time he talked to him was a little over a week ago.

#McStay - Merritt: "I do a lot of Joseph's finances and stuff because I probably make 75% of his income. We were working so damn close together. I would buy lights and pumps and things like that with his credit cards. We were kind of co-mingling our businesses

#McStay - Merritt says he doesn't physically have McStay's credit cards, he would write down the numbers when Joseph needed him to get supplies.

 

[Plumeria5]

I think he actually believes himself...lol!

 

[Edmo]

I assume the Detectives ALREADY knew about CM accessing JM's Quick Books account and credit card(s) withdrawals. They are hammering him about actually having access to those accounts. This recording is another nail in his coffin for the Prosecution, IMO.

 

[missy1974]

Is any of this Patrick financial information true? shared accounts... going to court?

hmmm I'm not sure they did on the 17th, they didn't even get the search warrant until the 19th. I think it was the 16th that they told Susan to stop cleaning and have mike return the computer to the house. I guess Mike could have told them something... but we didn't hear that in DuGal's testimony.

Who is Patrick? thanks.

 

[asyousay]

Interesting now you can hear the change in tone and you can hear he is getting passive aggressive when the lunch is brought up. He is tense now in this interview IMO

#McStay - Merritt: Joseph had like 8 or 10 credit cards. He would use different ones for different things.

 

[missy1974]

Who is Patrick? thanks.

Joey's father. Patrick McStay.

 

[asyousay]

Who is Patrick? thanks.

Joey’s dad
