My son died when he was 27. Everything around that time period Is a total blur. Nothing made sense. I feel really bad for this witness. Unless you’ve been there, you don’t know what it’s like.
Jude Christenson I’m so sorry for the loss of your son. My heart goes out to you. Thank you for reminding people that in the midst of trauma, things can seem like a blur. 🙏🏽🙏🏽💕💕
@@JenniferJBland-jm6oh really?? I dk Im just having a hard time believing a brother would do this to his own blood and especially his baby nephews :/ nothing so far has shown me its Merritt so far..Dan Kavanaugh & Summer's Ex are 2 suspects I'd not be surprised if it was found they did it..if Mike mcstay did do this he has got to be the epitome of the devil himself
@@pariskashi7340 if you have trouble finding a brother killing a brother then you need to read of the 1st murder of the man in the Bible...cain killed his brother able.....same type Motive...
This guy should have been a prime suspect as he has a selective memory, he had a financial motive and reportedly asked the defendant to wait to report the missing family (the defendant asked this guy to report the missing family right away. This guy ended up reporting the disappearance of his brother over a week later which gave him plenty of time to get his story together. Poor cross examination.
The plot thickens.. A family squabble.. Hmmm... I don't remember, I don't remember, I don't remember... Its been a long time, its been a long time, its been a long time... Right! The computer... "I didn't have the proper power cord so I couldn't turn it on." Uh... Best Buy?? This is ridiculous.. Even the Prosecution is pissed at this brother! They are trying to impeach their own witness! They stated so on an objection!
I don't know that the somewhat annoying prosecutor is trying to impeach Brother Bubbles... Unless he's building up to a Perry Mason moment in which the real killer confesses on the stand.
This guy is putting on a smug image, confident that he can tell lies without any fear of being caught. When he is sure he is telling the truth he answers immediately. He never says, "I did something" He says "I believe I did something." That gives him another out since he can say I wasn't sure. If someone went back and counted I bet he said, "I'm not sure," "I don't recall" or "I don't remember," over 1,000 times. OK. I've seen enough now. This guy is a pathological liar. He will lie even when he doesn't have to.
For some reason first time I watched him the other day and don't know much about this case. For some reason had strong vibe about the brother I don't know why then tried to research to see if the brother has been investigated🤔?
13:00 interesting how many details he can't remember or recall but remembers the exact Starbucks location where he meet the detective at in 2013. But asked a dozen different ways if Chase went into the house with him, nope nodda total amnesia.
Rumor has it.....he still doesn’t remember. 🤷🏻♀️ Perhaps someone could ask.... what is it you DO remember? Chances are he won’t remember what he does remember. Remember?
I really hope they have some kind of evidence to back up the prosecutions claims. I know it early on but I'm more suspicious of the brother than the defendent. This is looking like a circumstantial case considering they claim they were butchered in the house .....with no blood??? A bit like the Stephen Avery case. Are we honestly to believe that he said to the police "I won't be in trouble if I take anything will i" surely that would trigger a suspicion from any half decent cop??? Why the urgency for the computer, portable hard drive and camera?? Remember 10 years ago computers were huge why go to so much trouble?? Looks like the brother is a better cop than the ones that attended the scene if we are to believe what we are being told
Notice with the prosecutor he keeps turning around and wiping his eyes as though he's crying ......but there is no change in the tone of his voice and he doesn't do it once during the defence cross examination
Dear prosecutors.... HUGE mistake putting mom and brother on the stand. They're not helping ur case one bit and only creating more reasonable doubt by the minute. Completely untrustworthy and sound very guarded or not all there..... either way....
Who has a memory this bad. Seems like he and his mom can't recall much. If my son or brother were missing I could recall alot. He's a worse witness than the mother.
He seemed to care more about Chase & Kavanaugh getting paid & his brother's business continuing than the family missing hmmmm I couldn't believe he waited two weeks to call police about family missing, then they had to tell him to go make report in person. Then he had to pick up his wife & children to go with him. Did he think it would make him look less guilty with children & wife? Their father from out of state had been asking him to go much sooner. He had some lame excuse that police wouldn't do anything about it for 10 days,I believe he told father. He also went to Police Dept.with a trail for police, so snitching could help him out. Chase is a felon he can't snitch on brother before going to prison. He would need isolation in prison for proection. Brother is so guilty,' it's so obvious from the start. He sold brother's things to send money to child of Joseph from previous marriage because he also said Summer didn't like the child. Or how Summer raises their children. He needs to worry about his own family. Now he's divorced. He helped in all this.I also don't like how he took computer & other things. Also when he first went in house, he just went in a couple of rooms, not even garage. When your family is missing, and even though he was messing with evidence, most ppl would check every room ,every closet, everything if you are really looking to find them. He knew they weren't there. And weren't coming back. In all the things he did.
He does seem forgetful. He could be on a lot of medication. The mother seemed to have trouble remembering certain details. God knows what they have been through. If it was me I might not know my own name. Didn’t the police think they just went away until the bodies were found? Listening to this he says (then wife) so he’s been through a divorce also. I feel bad for the whole family
The original police dept- San Diego botched the case. After the bodies were recovered, the San Bernardino Sheriff Dept too over. I'm glad these commenters aren't on the jury. They are doing exactly what the defense attorney wants them to do. Blame little brother Mike McStay instead of Joe's business partner who killed them.
Sorry I got the different parts mixed up. But from the part one where he’s stretching his neck and moving the mic all the time and how his bags under his eyes get worse. Just a lot of his demeanor aaah. It’s just kinda obvious. To me
I’m not sure I don’t remember, I’m not sure I don’t remember. Wtf . If it was my brother no matter what it would be stuck in my mind. Idk I’m just saying
I had to skip a day and a half of Mike's days in the chair. He was boring with his "I don't recall", "I don't remember" etc. He was not much of a witness.
The way these attorneys, ask question anybody is going to get confused and that’s what they need to creat a reasonable doubt in jury’s mind. I feel for Michael, after what he is been through it’s hard to keep his mind straight. I hope karma gets the defendant before the trial is over. AMEN and AMEN
Mike McStay seriously rubs me wrong.

Rochelle Shon Thank you so much for your kindness...God bless you!
You feel sorry for this witness, this witness is the one that killed everybody !!!!!!!
It had to have been some massive "family spat" for Summer and Mike not to talk at all for over a year. Something isn't right with this brother.
You are thinking clearly! He is the defendant and you are noticing that something is wrong and that is absolutely correct!

A family squabble to where you don't talk to your brother at his house because of his wife....that's more than a squabble!
@@JenniferJBland-jm6oh OMGosh! I commented same! I said this guy is giving off Cain & Able vibes. 😅👍

Mikey did it!
I'm not amused!
The victim's brother is *unnecessarily, overexplaning himself* even when the counsel only requires a "yes or no" answer! Not good! 😔
Because he killed them.
When a defendant sits in a witness chair....

There is something wrong with this brother. The defense lawyer must be thrilled.
I have been following this case Literally since it happened 9yrs ago. But why am I getting bad vibes now from the brother?
He isn't creditable. I would remember not evry lil thing but most if my brother was missing. This is just crazy an unbelievable. He's hiding something
Agreed
@@dawnnj3235 That's what I am starting to believe. But My God those precious babies!!
I saw him on Dateline and thought he was weird. If he had anything to do with it , they would have exposed him- he doesn't seem like a mastermind.
For some reason first time I watched him the other day and don't know much about this case. For some reason had strong vibe about the brother I don't know why then tried to research to see if the brother has been investigated🤔?

Amanda Williams yes. And the days of the week for certain meetings plus that the one dog was a Christmas present in 2009.
Anything related to Chase, he can't remember...
Rumor has it.....he still doesn’t remember. 🤷🏻♀️
Perhaps someone could ask.... what is it you DO remember?
Chances are he won’t remember what he does remember. Remember?

The Brother Is Aggravating.
I'm bored 😴
The witness is so annoying and don't remember a lot of things, the defense attorney is slow and boring. Can I have Juan Martinez, please?
I Would Second That Motion!
@@starshine7755 yes juan is great
juan is definitely not boring awesome to watch
Wonder what Juan is working on these days..
Notice with the prosecutor he keeps turning around and wiping his eyes as though he's crying ......but there is no change in the tone of his voice and he doesn't do it once during the defence cross examination

He needs to stop touching the mic, its doing my head in
He set up account after bro missing 😐

Honest people remember alot more than this! Ha
Cain and Able in modern times!
Yes!!!
All these crimes u knw GOD IS COMING SOON fOR REAL
Sorry I got the different parts mixed up. But from the part one where he’s stretching his neck and moving the mic all the time and how his bags under his eyes get worse. Just a lot of his demeanor aaah. It’s just kinda obvious. To me
Is there anything Mike McStay is "sure" of?
Yes, he sure he killed the family...it wasn't Chase.
Mike Mcstay is 100% guilty !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree
Lol the court reporter has just realised she's on tv ......got a new hairdo today
I’m not sure I don’t remember, I’m not sure I don’t remember. Wtf . If it was my brother no matter what it would be stuck in my mind. Idk I’m just saying
Must've been difficult sitting in the same room as the killer of your brother. It takes a depraved mind to kill a child.
I had to skip a day and a half of Mike's days in the chair. He was boring with his "I don't recall", "I don't remember" etc. He was not much of a witness.
My brother.........
Hacker Dan? Haha!!!
