McCartys Subpoenaed for Deposition

The Estate of Dr. Daniel Mark Pogue, represented by Ashland attorney John Booth Farese, re-subpoenaed Russell and Catherine McCarty to provide a deposition at the office of local attorney Cal Wells on September 1, 2009. They were subpoenaed several months ago and it is not known why the depositions did not take place.

The Estate filed a Petition to Establish Heirs at Law and Wrongful Death Beneficiaries of Daniel Mark Pogue, Deceased on March 10, 2009. The petition states Paul Steven Pogue is the Administrator of the Estate. Dr. Pogue died without a will and only left two next of kin: his mother, Susan Jane Joiner, and Paul Steven, his brother.

Took those two down for a reason. No proof or evidence that was the case and I'm not going to be responsible for a rumor starting. Heaven knows there have been enough already.

Comment 2 was a response what appeared to be a joke by anon 8:29. It was humor. I would hope that any attorney, or anyone else for that matter, reading this blog would see it as such. It was not intended to be read as fact or rumor under such serious circumstances.

anon 10:58, should read "to what appeared...". Again, no offense intended.

Just wondering since I am not a lawyer....Would there ever be a time during a suit brought by the families of the victims that Karen Irby would be required to give a deposition?

Anonymous said...

Kingfish why do you think that Stuart's attorney Lisa Binder, was not listed on the Certificate of Service?

Y'all might want to do a little digging into the McCartys and their role in the aggravated DUI trial of Dustin Dill that also resulted in an unfortunate death. Then take a look at which law firm defended Dill.

The McCartys have been here before but the facts are different this time. Everyone associated with Karen is being evasive for a number of big time reasons ... some of which have nothing to do at all with Karen's impending prison sentence.

And then there is the worries and fears of Sheriff Campaign Contribution.

KAREN, GET YOURSELF INDEPENDENT COUNSEL ASAP.

So basically- avoid having dinner/social contact with the McCarty's?? Sounds like they are poison!

stilettoGOP said...

Yeah I read some of the Dill stuff. (also a VERY, very sad story) and I was thinking I bet the McCartys think they should just stay at home now. Wrong place, wrong time TWICE.

Farese defending though, interesting.

And man there's a bazillion dill recipes out there.

I am bummed out by what seems to be an insider story here. Does anyone know why the McCartys are being interviewed?

Anonymous said...

The McCartys had dinner with the Irbys at the CCJ the night of the wreck so the story goes.

8/24@11:18: "Would there ever be a time during a suit brought by the families of the victims that Karen Irby would be required to give a deposition?"

Yes and No. Yes, the plaintiffs could try to take her deposition. However, she would most assuredly invoke the privilege against self-incrimination as to every single question. So no, they wouldn't get any answers.

Anonymous said...

Curt, they'd get better than her answers. When she pleads the 5th, the civil court infers the answer would be adverse to her interests.

Jane said...

Typically the court in the civil case will stay the case pending the outcome of the criminal case.

For sure, this site cuts both ways. JacksonJambalaya seems to
be a great source of late breaking news, great analysis from KF and other contributors, but it is also the source of most of the rumors that I have heard regarding this high profile case. If some of these rumors turn out to be fact, this case will be one for the books.

Anonymous said...

10:11 Actually what you call rumors on this blog for the most part are known facts. KF does a good job of deleting posts that are just rumors. However, sometimes you have to read between the lines and do some digging yourself to figure out the true facts. One example is the McCartys connection to the lawyers for the estate of Dr. Pogue. I had to do my own digging to figure that one out.

Finally, if you think this blog is the only place people are "chatting" about this case, you need to get out more. Go to any place in Jackson where people gather other than maybe a church, and you are going to hear people talking about this case. Lots of people know the Irbys or know of the Irbys and many people had a UMMC connection to Dr. Pogue. Also, I don't recall in my forty plus years of living in the Jackson another drunk woman driving down Old Canton Road at 100mph and killing two people.

better remove my prior post. cause everything I repeated, I saw here.

Didn't the guy in Hattiesburg that killed the young USM student over the weekend get immedicatley charged with DUI?! Also- released on 1 MILLION dollar bond!
Once again- a different form of justice there as opposed to NE Jackson!

Anonymous said...

As far as Stuart leaving the CCJ driving, it is no way it can be covered up if the security tape from the CCJ shows he was driving, or there were witnesses that saw him leaving the CCJ driving which I suspect is the case. Think about it. The DA can't be wanting to interview the McCartys just to find out what the Irbys ate and drank at the CCJ the night of the wreck. It's got to be more.

thanks for house keeping. We should do our part and stick to verfiable facts and leave speculation and rumor out of the conversation.

Curt Crowley said...

8/25@4:16:

You're absolutely correct. Taking the 5th in a civil case is the equivalent of saying "I did it."

That being said, she still has to invoke the privilege, due to the severity of the consequences in the criminal case.

There's no way in hell I would EVER let one of my clients testify in a civil case that was even remotely related to his criminal case.

Anonymous said...

OK. Another question: If Karen Irby loses in civil court and has to pay money (probably lots of it) to the Pogue estate, would her husband's money be considered her money?

Anonymous said...

How does the "blog administrator" distinguish fact from rumor? Many of the same, or similar, comments or theories are removed while others are left in place; what gives? Was Stuart driving or not?

Anonymous said...

Anon 7:35 - we will just have to wait for the rest of the story to be go public, or KF to do some more digging. ;)

Anonymous said...

7:35 I don't know how much you have read KF's blog, but go back and read first Aug 14 "Judge Green gives DA 15 minutes with Stuart Irby" and last Aug 17 "JPD: Helping victim or the defense? Read carefully, and you might have your last question answered.

Anonymous said...

Any chance the FBI could take over this case in some capacity? Your thoughts Curt?

Curt Crowley said...

8:55pm:

In order for the FBI to get involved in this case, there would have to be some basis for federal jurisdiction. In other words, there would have to be a probable violation of some federal statute.

This usually takes the form of mail/wire fraud, rackets, official corruption, or civil rights violations (if the defendant is a "state actor").

Its unlikely to find such a violation in a case which is, at its core, a state-law aggravated DUI case.

so did the deposition take place yesterday- September 1 ??!

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
