Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer announced his office charged the three armed robbers who brutally killed an elderly woman at an outdoor mall last week with special circumstances murder which makes them eligible for the death penalty.
Newport Beach is a wealthy, conservative enclave in Southern California. The broad daylight armed robbery and murder at Fashion Island rocked the laid-back beach community last week.
“On July 2, 2024, New Zealand tourist Patricia McKay and her husband were waiting for a ride after they had finished shopping at Newport Beach’s Fashion Island when a white Toyota Camry pulled up next to the couple and two men in masks jumped out and attacked McKay’s 69-year-old husband, putting a gun to his head and demanding his watch as they forced him to the ground as bystanders ran away. When the suspects, later identified as Darnell and Cunningham, were unable to get his property, Cunningham is accused of attacking McKay, who was holding several shopping bags,” the OC DA’s office said in a press release.
The suspects were transported to the Newport Beach PD jail and identified as: Leroyernest Joseph McCrary, 26, of Compton, California, Jaden Cunningham, 18, of Lancaster, CA, and Malachi Eddward Darnell, 18, of Los Angeles, California.
A 69-year-old woman was killed in an attempted robbery at Fashion Island in Newport Beach last Tuesday afternoon.
...
The victim, identified as Patricia McKay, was run over and killed by the suspects as they drove off in a getaway car after the botched robbery.
A Good Samaritan jumped in to help the robbery victims and that is when one of the robbers opened fire. According to police, three shots were fired but no one was struck by the gunfire.
Newport Beach police pursued the suspects to Los Angeles. All three suspects were arrested.
Patricia McKay and her husband were visiting Newport Beach from New Zealand.
...
Todd Spitzer announced special circumstances murder and possible death penalty for the three thugs who murdered Patricia McKay.
“A third striker and two other Los Angeles County men have been charged with special circumstances murder for throwing a 68-year-old New Zealand woman into the street after robbing her at Newport Beach’s Fashion Island and then running her over with their getaway car, dragging the woman nearly 65 feet under their vehicle before leading police on a high-speed pursuit. The woman’s husband tried to stop the driver from running over his wife after he was thrown to the ground and had a gun pointed at him as two of the men tried to steal his watch,” Todd Spitzer said.
“Leroy Ernest Joseph McCrary, 26, of Los Angeles, Malachi Eddward Darnell, 18, of Los Angeles, and Jaden Cunningham, 18, of Lancaster, are eligible for the death penalty if they are convicted of the special circumstances murder of 68-year-old Patricia McKay in the commission of a robbery with a felony enhancement of causing the death of an elder over the age of 65,” Spitzer said.
Todd Spitzer said McCrary is a convicted felon with a long rap sheet.
“McCrary has prior felony convictions for residential burglary in 2018, criminal threats in 2020, and robbery in 2023, all in Los Angeles County,” Todd Spitzer said.
adding to the culture everyday.
Convicted of a third felony in 2023 and on the streets in July 2024?
It would have been racist to make him serve a minimum sentence.
EC
death penalty? in commiefornia? Don’t make me laugh! the death penalty in cali is only metted out by criminals. those without a badge AND those with one. interestingly enough, the only two groups our illustrious liberal progressive ideologues WANT armed.
The death penalty? Don’t make me laugh! Kalifornia hasn’t executed anyone in about 75 years and it’s obvious that some state court...or state politician...will eventually (probably soon) declare it illegal and eliminate it.
You beat me by 28 seconds!
those Amish again?
Isn’t there a 3 strikes law in California?
Death penalty? They’ll be old men before a date with the needle is assigned. Meanwhile, they’re refusing to leave their cells to go to the courtroom for their arraignment. The judge seems mystified by it and doesn’t know how to proceed. To these thugs the whole thing is a joke. But they’ll soon learn that this is not L.A. County and they won’t be coddled.
That being said, expect 5-7 years to go by before an actual trial.
[“Leroy Ernest Joseph McCrary, 26, of Los Angeles, Malachi Eddward Darnell, 18, of Los Angeles, and Jaden Cunningham, 18, of Lancaster, are eligible for the death penalty if they are convicted of the special circumstances murder”]
Works for me.
When I lived in Newport Beach in the 1980s the cops had a simple rule—any young black male wearing more than a bathing suit was followed around until they left town.
Was it racist?
Absolutely—totally.
Was it profiling?
You betcha.
But—it worked—virtually zero serious crime.
This CA DA obviously doesn’t understand his roll as a CA DA.
He needs to ask himself...”What would Soros do?”
EXACTLY WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME A PERSON ACTUALLY GOT THE DEATH PENALTY APPLIED IN CALIF???
JERRY BROWN SPENT OVER $1 MILLION TO “UPGRADE THEIR GAS CHAMBER” and I am pretty sure it hasn’t been use since that was spent.
MAYBE CARYL CHESSMAN was the last one actually put to death???
A LONG TIME AGO.
Over 640 persons are sitting on Calif Death Row.
It costs OVER $100,000 per year.
$64 MILLION
Thank God this was in The OC and not LA County where the DA is criminal-friendly George Gascon.
One of the criminals in this case was released by Gascon, which is typical of his not wanting to lock up criminals no matter how vicious the crime.
Can’t wait until Gascon is defeated by Nathan Hochman, there is a lot of vote fraud in California, but not enough to over come an almost 25 point deficit.
The victim was a tourist from New Zealand. I bet the Commifornia DA wouldn’t bother if it was just an American. *Spit*
California’s last death row execution was on Jan 17, 2006.
“After 23 years and 1 month on death row, 76-year-old Clarence Ray Allen would become the final California death row prisoner to be executed by lethal injection at San Quentin State Prison.”

But they’ll soon learn that this is not L.A. County and they won’t be coddled.
