Murder suspect’s mother says she has foggy memory of son’s shooting of Isahak Muse
PORTLAND, Maine — The mother of Mark Cardilli Jr. struggled to remember details of the fatal incident at their family home on March 16, which resulted in her son shooting Isahak Muse with a pistol.
Suzanne Cardilli told the courtroom on Wednesday she didn’t remember answers to specific questions asked by state attorneys. And many of the details she provided contradicted her own account told to police hours after the event.
Suzanne Cardlli testified that Muse, a guest in the house, slapped the phone from her hand as she attempted to call 911 as an altercation broke out between him and Cardilli Jr.
But that testimony is inconsistent with statements she made in previous video recordings replayed in the courtroom. Initially the woman did not say Muse had grabbed, slapped or punched the phone after being directly asked by police.
“I tried to call 911, but my phone — I don’t know why — didn’t do it.” Suzanne Cardilli told police in March.
The trial of Cardilli Jr., who shot and killed Muse, began Monday.
While his family was from Somalia, Muse was born and raised in Portland and attended Deering High School. He would have turned 23 on Tuesday. He had been Chelsey Cardilli’s boyfriend for about a year before his death.
