DAY 7 – 11/1/23
Waukesha Sheriff’s Office Detective Nathan Piennes spent the day testifying to the financial transactions and documents he reviewed as part of the investigation into the case.
His investigation began in 2016, at the start at Jessy and Lynn’s relationship.
Of 22 checks cut from Lynn’s MMA opened Oct. 1, 2014 with a $250,000 inheritance from her mother, 20 of them were to Jessy Kurczewski.
In all, $134,337.01 was signed over to Jessy from the MMA account. The final balance of the account after Lynn’s death was $88.
Irregular transactions Piennes noted were at Scott E’s Pub, a bar and a casino that Lynn never frequented, as well as 61 cash withdrawals.
Lynn, Jessy, Jennifer Flower and Anthony Pozza all had access to Lynn’s safety deposit box, but Jessy is the only one who ever visited and accessed it before Lynn’s death.
Jessy gave Anthony Pozza multiple fake receipts having to do with Lynn’s estate account.

DAY 6 – 10/31/23
Officer Francis Stahl testified that Jessy Kurczewski had been a suspect in a fraud case.
During their investigation, Jessy allegedly admitted she was trying to fraudulently open an account using the name of her upstairs neighbor.
Leslie Boonton, the manager at Robert Hack Jewelers testified that Jessy sold jewelry at least three times, including bracelets and rings.
Every transaction at the store is recorded for reporting to the municipality, and each person who sells items is asked how long they have owned it. ID is also required for every transaction.
Magdalena Soboniak, who was incarcerated at one point with Kurczewski, testified that Jessy told her that Lynn died after taking too much medication.
Jessy allegedly told Magdalena that she would pay bills, buy kids furniture, televisions and would go to casinos often with Lynn’s money, as well as write herself checks.

Anthony Pozza, a close friend of Lynn’s, testified.
Pozza said that Lynn had told him about her will and money and that he never believed she would commit suicide.
Pozza had never met Jessy while Lynn was alive. After her death, when they spoke, he said that she immediately brought up her will.
He admitted he signed paperwork making Jessy the personal representative of Lynn’s estate. He then began receiving credit card bills and said ‘red flags’ started to go up.

Pozza’s attorney, Elizabeth Taylor, testified that she didn’t initially think Anthony had a case but then was concerned when she saw credit card bills totalling more than $100,000, which was odd for an older woman who did not often leave the house.
UPDATE: Jessy Kurczewski was sentenced to life in prison with parole for killing her friend, Lynn Hernan, with eye drops.
