Mary Jo Jenkins Murder Trial
For hours, a jittery and emotional North Amityville man had been telling police that a masked man had held him at gunpoint as a friend shot his girlfriend and took her body away, a Suffolk detective testified Friday -- until the story changed sharply.Joseph DeFelice, 34, said his friend David Newbeck, 36, showed up about 4:30 a.m. on Aug. 23, 2010, at the Halloween products warehouse where he lived with Mandy Jo Jenkins, shot her and left, Det. Guido Cirenza testified. Cirenza said he asked for more detail on the other man, whom DeFelice had sometimes described as wearing a bandanna and other times wearing a ski mask."At that point, he said there was no second suspect in the vehicle; that David acted alone," Cirenza said. And then DeFelice added that he'd buried a shell casing behind the warehouse.DeFelice is on trial before Suffolk County Court Judge John Toomey Jr. in Riverhead, charged with second-degree murder. Prosecutors say he helped Newbeck, his childhood friend, kill Jenkins.Cirenza said DeFelice went on to say that instead of being held outside, Newbeck called him back in after shooting Jenkins. DeFelice found Jenkins alive and spitting up blood, according to Cirenza."He said he grabbed on to her shoulders and apologized to her," Cirenza said during questioning by Assistant District Attorney Robert Biancavilla. "Then he left and walked down the street."DeFelice said Newbeck became enraged earlier that night when he saw Jenkins at the warehouse, Cirenza said. Jenkins had filed charges against Newbeck's girlfriend, Jennifer Russini, for identity theft.After that initial encounter, DeFelice said he accompanied Newbeck to his home in Massapequa and watched him get a gun out of his dresser and a couple of tarps, Cirenza testified. On the way back to the warehouse, Cirenza said DeFelice told him Newbeck was still angry, "saying over and over he was going to kill Mandy."At the warehouse, DeFelice said he took his Rottweiler dog outside, let Newbeck in and heard the shots, Cirenza said.During cross-examination by defense attorney Richard Stafford of Bohemia, Cirenza said Newbeck didn't tell his client what he was doing when he packed the gun and the tarps.

The whole situation is crazy, can't believe it's taken this long to bring them on charges.

Re: Mary Jo Jenkins Murder Trial
Thanks for posting.
It is crazy how long ago it was. Poor Mandy. She was troubled but a very good person.
The whole story is just strange. I think Joe was forced to help the other guy probably threatened his life too. Just so many changes in the story. May she RIP and hopefully this ends soon.

Re: Mary Jo Jenkins Murder Trial
Totally a crazy story.
I don't remember the details but I wonder if drugs/untreated mental health issues were involved.

Pretty sure drugs were involved. They were all heavily into the club scene and all the nonsense that goes with it.

JMO Joe still had a choice to not help even if he was threatened. He was a built guy and that dog supposedly wasn't too friendly, he could of given mandy a heads up to leave or lay low but instead he brings this dude to the warehouse in an industrial spot where she was helpless. They deserve to rot, it's sad her family and friends couldn't help her before.

Oh believe me. I'm no fan of his. And everything you said is true. I wasn't friends with her more of acquaintances but I know she was very sweet. I know how her family is hurting. It's a shame
