Evening recess was called at 5:45 today, and the trial will pick back up again in the morning at 8:15. I should be able to make it for day 2 as well. The judge also said that the court was on track to wrap things up on the second day, but we'll see.

The evidence submitted so far were three testimonies: Joseph Muscato, Mary Muscato, and police Lieutenant Scott Alpers. 4 exhibits were also admitted:
  1. A bird's eye view picture of the parking lot that was the scene of the first harassment incident
  2. A picture of Dave's car with the "Dr. Muscato is an abuser.com" stickers on it
  3. Dave's livestream of his first confrontation with his mother
  4. A snippet of an interview with Lieutenant Alpers and Dave on May 9th, before both harassment incidents occurred
Dave himself is set to testify tomorrow, he was sworn in to do so by the judge after evening recess was called. Now I will compile my notes and format them for a longer post.
 
Let me preface this post by saying that Dave was largely not a factor in today's trial, as far as his presence in the courtroom was concerned. Tomorrow should be the day for theatrics from him, as he will (hopefully) have to testify. Today's trial consisted of two parts: voir dire (jury selection) and subsequently evidence, which consisted of multiple testimonies and exhibits.

Voir Dire
The trial began at 9:00 a.m. with 65 respective jurors, and the jury selection process ended with 12 jurors in total I believe. Most of the jurors seemed to be older people, mainly boomers. The questions asked to the jurors to see which ones should be culled from the final panel were overall pretty standard, but there were some entertaining moments that I will summarize chronologically:

The assistant prosecuting attorney (APA) began asking her questions around 9:20, and would continue to do so until the first recess at around 10:30.
  • The APA asked the jurors if anyone was familiar with Dr. Joe Muscato. Multiple people said yes, and that they knew him/worked with him before. She then asked if anyone knew Dave, to which no one said yes.
  • The APA started talking about the importance of the jurors being "brutally honest" for the case and asked if anybody would be unable to be honest around the other jurors. One of the jurors sperged out at the APA about some murder trial he was involved with previously and how her prosecutor's office is completely dishonest. Needless to say, he was not one of the final jurors.
  • There were a couple of boomers who couldn't hear no good and halted the proceedings because of it.
  • A negress said she couldn't trust law enforcement testimonies because she was racially profiled once.
  • There was a literal ESL monkey on the jury who barely understood English and said she needed a translator.
  • I have a note here that just says "boomers are dumb lol" lol.
  • The APA asked the jury if they felt family disputes should be settled behind closed doors and not in court. An old boomer with a voice like gravel then went on a mgtow rant about how women win every case in family court and the APA was clearly not enjoying it. He probably talked the most out of everyone, and often without raising his paddle and being prompted to do so.
  • The APA unironically called a female juror a "girl boss" in reference to if anyone owned their own business.
  • The Tranny Question (TQ): the APA then asked some questions concerning trannies. Multiple jurors indicated that they held a negative bias towards Dave because he is a troon, often citing religious reasons. A juror who was a teacher said he had multiple tranny students and believed in trans rights. I only hope to God that he's a college teacher and doesn't teach elementary school. A fag with a ponytail, who I will refer to as ponytail fag, said he was uncomfortable with the "large anti-trans sentiment in the country right now."
1st Recess

I was a little late getting back from the recess, but I didn't really miss much. Dave's defense attorney, Adam Dowling, began asking his questions at this point. I believe the questions that I missed had to do with narcissists, as they were referenced again later in the trial. This went on from about 11:00-12:30.
  • At this point a noticeable amount of jurors had already been kicked off the panel.
  • Dowling- as well as the rest of the court- refered to Dave as "Danielle" and called him by female pronouns. This is still a somewhat liberal court in a liberal city, so it is not surprising.
  • Dowling had some pretty cheesy lines and spiels while he talked to the jury. My favorite was in reference to burden of proof being on the state, where he said: "You gotta show me [evidence]. This is the show me state after all."
  • Most of his questions were pretty typical and were about concepts like pleading the 5th and presumption of innocence. For the latter subject, Dowling stated: "As Ms. Muscato sits here right now, she is an innocent woman. :story:
  • Dowling began interrogating individual jurors who stuck out to him.
  • A liberal boomer who also liked to hear himself talk said that he could "try" to follow the court's instruction. He also accused Dowling of asking him a leading question, as if he was an attorney involved in this case and was stating an objection.
  • The Tranny Question II: Dowling stated that multiple jurors seemed to be "in favor of transgender rights." One of the younger jurors said that she would give Dave more of a benefit of the doubt because trannies are so persecuted. She also said that she could "try" not to be bias for trannies. Dowling asked another person if they could put their troon bias aside "assuming no one takes the stand who says: 'I hate trans people'." A female juror openly said that she thinks there are only two genders, but despite that she didn't hold Dave being a tranny against him. I also noted that Dave was looking very intensely at the jurors for these tranny questions in particular. The ponytail fag said that he thinks the family is biased against Dave because he is trans, and that he could "probably" follow court instructions.
  • A random male juror trauma dumped in the middle of the selection about his sister because Dowling mentioned narcissists earlier. He sounded like he was on the verge of tears.
  • A female juror then started ACTUALLY crying and trauma dumping about narcissists as well. But wait for it, because then a THIRD PERSON, another woman, also began to literally cry about narcissists. They had to bring in tissues for them.
2nd Recess

The judge and the attorneys then began to actually select and strike off jurors during this second recess. I heard Dave speak for the first time to his attorney during this. He sounded very gay. After this was finished, the remaining jurors were called back and sworn in. The judge then called for a lunch recess, and would begin the evidence portion of the trial afterwards.

Evidence:
The trial resumed at 2:30 with opening statements from both the APA and Dowling. The APA's opener was brief, though she could've practiced it a bit because she fumbled over her words a couple times. The main point of the statement could be summarized as: "Public humiliation was Dave's goal in harassing his parents, so he could get money from them."

Dowling's opener was not very good either. It was way too long and most of it would just be repeated when he cross-examined Joe and Mary later anyways. He brought out a big paper on an easel and pointed to it several times when he talked to the jury even though it was blank. Finally he drew on it, and all he did was draw like three boxes to show how close Dave and Mary's cars were parked in the first harassment incident. He also claimed that Dave recording/livestreaming his mom was an act of journalism because Dave is a journalist, lmao. Other than that he just recapped the 2 confrontations between Dave and Mary, which I'll talk about more in depth later, so I'll skip them for now.

1st Witness: Joseph Muscato
  • He said Dave is 41, and stopped living with them (his parents) back in 2022
  • The APA slipped up and called Dave a "him." Joe (((corrected))) her
  • He believed Dave trooned out around a decade ago
  • He gave his account of the first incident in May:
    • Him and Mary were driving separately to see a counselor that they had been seeing for at least a year at that point. But she moved to a new office which they only went to once before.
    • Mary arrived at the office before him and was waiting in the parking lot
    • The APA introduced exhibit 1 into evidence with no objections. It was a picture of the parking lot that Joe, Mary, and Dave all were at during this event.
    • Dave was actually the one that suggested his parents go to counseling.
    • When Joe pulled into the parking lot, he saw Dave's car with the "Dr. Muscato is an abuser.com" stickers on it. He also saw Dave talking angrily at Mary
    • The APA introduced exhibit 2 into evidence also with no objections. It was a picture of Dave's car with the aforementioned stickers.
    • Dave began begging them for money to buy Hermione some special cat food. Joe said that Mary gave him at least 20 bucks, and most likely more than that as well.
    • Dave also asked Joe if they could meet next week, and that he better bring 10,000 dollars to give him if they do.
    • Joe and Mary then entered the counselor's office. The APA started asking him questions about what happened when they were in the office, to which the defense objected on irrelevance and hearsay
      • The judge convened the counsel at the bench, and the they all talked amongst themselves. Eventually they stop and the APA begins to ask about the appointment again only for the defense to object again. They have another discussion.
    • Joe said Mary was shaking and afraid after her encounter with Dave.
    • The defense kept objecting, and the judge overruled it, looking somewhat annoyed now.
    • Joe discussed his fear of Dave. Another objection, another overrule
    • He said Mary experienced a higher than normal level of fear from the incident
  • The APA moved on to the second incident at the dentist's office in June:
    • Mary called Joe while she was waiting for the dentist and he was at the car wash, because Dave had followed Mary into her dentist appointment
    • The APA asked if Mary sounded afraid over the phone. The defense objected on the ground of hearsay, but the judge overruled it
    • Joe arrived at the back of the dentist's office. Mary has her appointment still, and they both leave out of the back of the building to avoid Dave. The defense again objected, and was overruled.
  • He said Dave threatened many lawsuits, though he never intended to settle with him
  • He said that they never expected to see Dave at either of the events that transpired
  • Joe is asked to identify Dave in the courtroom. He did so and pointed at him, to which Dave could only look down in shame, not even facing his own father.
  • Dave texted Joe and demanded he give him the 10K. Joe never intended to give him any money.
Dowling then cross-examined Joe
  • He asked Joe if Mary is hard of hearing. Joe said she has hearing aids, and thought that she had gotten them before May and June of 2023.
    • The APA objected on irrelevance, and the judge called them all up to the bench. They discussed for a while. Defense started to ask more questions, but then he called for another bench meeting. They talked even longer this time.
  • Joe is asked about the first incident again:
    • Said he saw a woman with Dave. She was the one filming
    • Joe opened the car door and led Mary to his car which they then drove around to the front of the building and went inside
  • Joe was still paying for Dave's phone at this point.
  • Dave tried to arrange another meeting in April before this event.
  • At this point, Dowling's questions aren't really getting anywhere. He was asking about mundane stuff like how Joe was parked, and eventually he lost steam for the cross-examination and ended it.

2nd Witness: Mary Muscato
  • Mary kept DSP snorting into the mic. But she otherwise seemed nice.
  • The APA asked how Mary and Joe met. Defense objected to this question, to which the judge looked frustrated and sorta lingered a bit before overruling it.
  • She said her relationship with Dave soured in 2022-23, but was nice before then.
  • They began seeing the counselor because of their deteriorating relationship with Dave.
  • Dave would run off to other states, then come back to CoMo to live with his parents.
  • The APA showed exhibit 1 to Mary. She said that she didn't see Dave's car when she pulled into the parking lot.
    • He approached her window. She had not seen him for 6 months before this confrontation.
  • The APA submits exhibit 3to the court: Dave's livestream of the incident (idk how accessible this livestream is, so I'm going to spoiler my notes on it just in case it is old news that no one wants to read about)
    • We see Dave's van with the muscato abuser stickers on it. Dave tells his friend to film for him once he sees his mom's car. He pulls a guitar out of his van, and plays it (awfully) before heading over to confront his mom with guitar in hand. He approaches her window and stays right up on her car door. The entire conversation is Mary saying basically nothing and Dave ranting and raving, calling her an evil narcissist repeatedly because his friends don't like her and she talks about jewelry. He said he used to count how many times his mom would roll her eyes at him in a single day, it would be literally hundreds of times. He repeatedly says "I'm not trying to make you feel bad," while simultaneously trying to make her feel bad. Dave is leaning his fat ass on someone else's care while he does this, probably leaving a greasy dent in their door. Dave says his mom has "cognitive empathy" but not real empathy. Mary gives him 40 bucks once Joe arrives and he starts begging for money. He never says thank you for the money. Dave tells his mom at one point that he is streaming her to a 100K people.
  • The APA questioned Mary about the stream and the confrontation.
    • She said the event made her feel awful and she was afraid to leave her car
    • She called it a "tirade" not a conversation
    • The APA asked: "We here Danielle talk a lot about NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder). Does Danielle have a degree to allow her to make that diagnosis?" To which Mary responded: "No."
    • Mary looked visibly distraught while answering questions and while watching the livestream.
    • Mary said that Dave essentially took Hermione the cat away from his parents
    • She felt pressured to give Dave money, and that it could have been 40-80 bucks in total
    • The APA asked: "How did the conversation feel to you? Did it feel friendly?" To which she responded: "No."
    • Mary called Dave creepy.
    • Mary said that the counselor locked the office doors for them. The defense starts to object again once the appointment itself is brought up, but is overruled.
    • Said she was really shaken up from the whole thing.
  • The APA moved on to the Dentist appointment incident
    • It was her regular dentist appointment that she gets every 6 months
    • Mary arrived at the building but waited outside of the dentist's office itself in the entrance because they were out to lunch.
    • Shortly after she got there, Dave arrived too and started harassing Mary.
    • Dave said he would report report his parents to the FBI.
      • Dave said he would report her to the FBI if he didn't get the money he wanted.
    • He said he was there because he "had an appointment in another office at the same time."
    • The dentist finally arrived and let Mary in, but not Dave. Eventually she left through the back entrance with Joe.
    • She had no idea how Dave could know she was there, and it scared her.
    • He wanted to follow her into the dentist's office, but the employees stopped him.
  • Her doctor ended up prescribing her Ativan because she was so nervous of Dave.
Dowling then cross-examined Mary
  • Joe and Mary may have considered a slander and libel suit against Dave. Dowling called Dave "judgement proof" because he is fucking broke lol.
  • Defense said that if Mary didn't want to talk Dave in that parking lot, she should have rolled up her window.
    • He asked: "At any point in this conversation, did you tell Danielle to go away?" She responded: "I should have."
  • She said Dave wasn't violent, but said "disturbing things."
  • He asked her more specifically about the dentist fiasco:
    • The defense said that Mary told the cops that Dave said she and Joe had child porn.
      • Mary doesn't recall this at all.
      • Defense brought up hearing aids again, and then her ADHD.
  • Mary said that Joe and her were still paying Dave's phone, storage shed, and car insurance by the time of May 16th, 2023.
  • Joe and Mary changed the locks on their house when Dave left.
  • Mary made several funny "get a load of this guy" faces at Dowling during some of his questions.
  • More weird questions from Dowling, like asking where their bodies were facing when they were confronted by Dave in the parking lot.
  • He asked if Mary was on her phone the whole time fiddling around when Dave confronted her at the dentist
    • She said not the whole time and made a face.
  • Dowling then asked if she remembered the manuscript Dave wrote about how his dad abused him and is super duper evil.
    • She said no.
  • She said she couldn't leave since her dentist appointment was in a couple of minutes.
  • Dowling asked if she remembered that Dave said he had 100 of hours worth of evidence of Joe's child abuse on a thumb drive.
    • She said she remembered him saying something like that.
  • The defense was about to ask another question about something Dave said, when the APA objected. The judge called them to the bench again and they talked for a considerable length of time
    • Eventually Dowling gets to ask if Dave ever said: "What do I have to do to get justice around here? Go to the FBI?"
    • Mary said yes
  • Defense then ended his questions
The APA then redirected and asked more questions of Mary
  • She asked if they ever considered other lawsuits against Dave.
    • Mary said she just wanted it all to stop.
  • The APA then asked: "Were you ever trying to sue Danielle to get money?" To which Mary responded: "No, you couldn't get any from her."
  • The APA brings up the anxiety meds again, which the defense also mentioned. Specifically how Mary was on low dosages of Ativan when she still worked too.
    • Mary said that the difference between the stress of work and the stress of Dave is that her work never made her feel scared and anxious like Dave does.
  • Mary thought that was Dave was threatening at the dentist. Not physically threatening, but at least verbally.
    • "She's our daughter, and we were hoping to get her back to a good relationship, but that wont happen after that."
Witness 3: Lt. Scott Alpers (CoMo Police)
  • Scott was assigned to Dave Muscato's case by the then police chief Jeff Jones because Andrew Muscato was also a police lieutenant for CoMo.
    • This is not typical for a lt. to be assigned to a case like this.
  • Scott talked with Dave on May 9th, before either harassment incident.
  • Dave voluntarily met with police, he was never asked to meet with them.
  • This leads us to the final (and best imo) evidence: exhibit 4
    • Exhibit 4 was a snippet of the recorded interview that Scott Alpers had with Muscato.
      • I couldn't write down the whole transcript of the video, sadly, but I got the juiciest parts for sure.
    • Defense objected the interview being admitted to the court. They have yet another meeting at the bench. The judge let the video be admitted
    • The video is of Dave talking:
      • "I wanna get out of here. I don't want to live in this country, I can't live in Missouri. I'm a trans woman, it's suicide."
      • He admitted that he wants that 10K so he can fuck to who knows where (probably Canada).
      • He clarified that the payment he wants from his dad is NOT a bribe.
      • Dave then went on to say that the only things that could make his dad move [on giving the money] was "public pressure."
        • He said that Joe only cares about status and money.
      • He specifically said that the only way to get Joe to do what he wants is through "public humiliation" and "dragging this out" so that he wastes as much of Joe's money as possible.
Neither attorneys had follow up questions for Lt. Alpers. After this, evening recess was called at 5:45 and the trial will begin again at 8:15 tomorrow morning, and that's where we are now.

That's where my notes end. Sorry for any mistakes and sloppy writing. I wrote this in a bit of a rush and I'm tired rn lol.

Wow, thanks so much for attending and sharing these notes, this is an incredible summary!

One puzzling thing is that the credit card theft didn't seem to be mentioned at all. Everything is just about the harassment. The theft is the most serious charge IIUC (Class D felony, while the others are Class E), and also should be the least subjective.
 
@Crocodylus Acutus you are a deadset legend

I’ve probably missed this, but he was originally charged over the theft (the meals at the country club) and the stalking. He’s potentially admitting to extortion. Can you recall what charges were read at the start of proceedings?

Thank you for an fantastic and thorough summary, and for attending the court in person.

I feel very sorry for Joe and Mary, it sounds like they are trying their best to love their son (even respecting his pronouns and the like) but he is just an awful human being.

The interview with the Lt. is intriguing, not only because it’s brand new. Really does make Dave sound malicious in his actions. Definitely sounds like attempted extortion to me.

This about broke me. What the hell is wrong with people?
 
Thank you for the detailed write up.

Can you let us know what Dave was wearing today, how masculine and un-lady like he was acting, any strange smells in the courtroom, and if he brought anything for show and tell like a cat or guitar.

My bad, but “Fail son steals from country club” is still an extremely low priority which means the timeline is likely to drag on. The odds that it will go to court are pretty much zero.

It’s delusional to think any overburdened court system gives a fuck about some tranny squabbling with his elderly parents. And I can 100% guarantee dave is not in the top 100 of crazy weirdos they have to deal with.

Cases don’t go to court because the defendant thinks he can woo a jury. There aren’t resources for that. It will likely be plead down and he’ll get something like probation.

Laugh at this man. Laugh at how wrong he is.
 
It's an okay transcript, but it needed more about how stunningly beautiful and sexy Danielle was in the courtroom. I'm sure she was positively radiant and smelled so good you could taste it.

It also missed out the bits where Dr. Joe Muscato cackled manically and monologued about his plans to enslave humanity, before breathing fire all over the courtroom and leaving for his secret undersea volcano lair by blasting a hole in the ceiling with his rocket launcher and flying out on his jetpack, cape billowing behind him.

I've been stuck with jury duty an annoying amount of times and for some reason the selection process often has this effect on people. One time I was in selection for a case involving sexual assault and some woman felt the need to tell the story about how her grandmother or whoever was raped for like 10 minutes, judge basically had to tell her to shut up. Remember some of them might also be trying to look like a blubbering fool to get dismissed.

I'm willing to bet it's happened in jury selections early than regular society, but we're seeing a dramatic over correction concerning mental health destigmatization. People trauma dump on the first date at this point. I've heard people say it's healthy. They viewed it as "just getting it all out of the way".

We've gone from women with post-partum depression getting their frontal lobe physically scrambled to complete strangers telling you all the private, disturbing, or embarrassing things about themselves upon first meeting. I've had literally strangers try to do this shit while we're waiting in line for a restaurant to open. The overall loneliness and isolation of modern society doesn't help. Covid only magnified that as well.

I'm pretty sure I'd never get on the panel. I'd just say no, I couldn't put aside this obvious, disgusting pervert is guilty just from looking at him. I'd point out he's obviously a man and I'm not going to pretend for a minute this obvious man is somehow a "woman." Then I'd just keep insulting him until they threw me off.

It would be an actual lie to claim I could put aside my prejudice against him. (And of course if it were actually Dave, I have personally followed and publicly loathed him for years, so it wouldn't even just be the troon thing.)

It's a tough choice - openly show contempt for the tranny and get dismissed so you can do something useful on your own, or somehow get on the panel and maybe your vote will be the one to get the tranny in the slammer.

Also weird that the judge never told Dr Joe to stop tying damsels to the train tracks that run through the court room while he was being cross-examined.
