LG MAN MUST FACE TRIAL ON CHARGES OF MURDER, FALSE IMPRISONMENT

Lawsuit: Yeager agreed to give wife Yingying Yu Washington house

Drew Penner, Editor

One year, less a day, from the night police say John Maxey Yeager strangled his wife, Yingying Yu, to death, he was held to answer for felony false imprisonment and murder, in Santa Clara County Superior Court.

Meanwhile, Yu’s estate has filed a series of lawsuits against Yeager, who remains in custody, claiming he’d agreed to give her a house in Washington State and also owes at least $400,000 related to their Los Gatos property.

On Dec. 30, Deputy District Attorney O’Bryan Kenney brought several pieces of evidence to the Hall of Justice courtroom in San Jose, including video footage and a copy of Yu’s autopsy report.

Defense lawyer Leah Nicole Gillis did not enter any exhibits into evidence on Yeager’s behalf.

According to investigators, Yeager admitted to killing his wife under questioning.

He pleaded not guilty to all charges Nov. 1.

SHUTTERED CLUB GETS NEW CHAPTER AS SECOND STORY

Four eager hearts aim to win over the town with their venue

Faizi Samadani, Contributor

Few businesses can stand the test of time like Mountain Charley’s did, surviving for over 50 years and becoming a

hallmark of Los Gatos. When a business like Charley’s has made its mark in people’s hearts, beyond its walls on N. Santa Cruz Avenue, is there room for another story? A Second Story? Four young entrepreneurs are taking their shot with a new venue that opened on Dec. 5.

I first meet with Sammer Mitri, 32, part-owner of Second Story. As we sit down, he begins to tell me how he got into the nightclub business.

“I have a master’s in mechanical engineering, but I started businesses while in college at

DINAH’S EVENT LOG: ONWARD, INTO THE HEART OF WINTER

CREATIVE MARKETING Cheeky sign outside Los Gatos Cleaners.

“Change will do you good,” some say—even in LG

Dinah Cotton, Contributor

Nothing will change. Yet everything changes.

New parking signs are up. And have you seen the “meter maids” golf cart? It must have five cameras, and it also appears to have a computer set up that keeps track of—to the second—any overtime parking.

I have it on good authority. After all, I recently received a tiny $42 (plus processing fees) printed-out ticket under the passenger’s side of the car windshield wiper.

I almost missed it.

Hawaii? Lake Tahoe? Or just stay put?

Who wants to leave our zip codes? Recently overheard on the sidewalk:

“Do you have a home elsewhere? If you do, why aren't you there now?” Why leave the best little town in the world, even if you have homes elsewhere? Nothing is better than Los Gatos. However, if you have a vacation home—somewhere warm—this might be the best time to use it. The rains are washing away the pollen, grime and sidewalks as we start winter.

2025 promises to be a very good year. If you do numerology, this is a #9 year, which is a very good number for communicating, business and partnerships.

WITH VENUE’S REVIVAL, THIS CHANDELIER GETS A SECOND STORY

Second Story, from page 1

the University of Pacific. I opened an escape room, and also started real estate investing while interning,” Mitri tells me.

“A high-end cocktail lounge?” I proceed. “What makes this one special?”

He tells me it was inspired by Dukes London, “ —one of the most famous martini bars in the world. We don’t shake our martinis. We freeze the bottles so that you can pour straight from the bottle and not dilute it with ice. We also serve snacks: mixed nuts, olives, and pickled veggies that are homemade.”

This venue is more than a cocktail lounge. It’s an experience.

After Mountain Charley’s closed, businessman Alex Hult revived the watering hole, first with a dinner theatre concept called Immersive, alongside Donovan Friedman, then as a throwback “Charley’s LG” brand reflecting the ethos of the saloon opened by Jim Farwell and business

partner Jack McNamara in 1972.

A Charley’s LG official told the Los Gatan last year Hult decided to sell the business to focus on his other projects, including a restaurant-focused AI start-up.

Next on my interview list: Danny Shafazand, 29, owner of multiple nightclubs and restaurants in the Bay Area. “Any I may know of?” I ask. He replies, “Nova in downtown San Jose and Wild Rose in downtown Campbell. I also worked at what once was across the hall, LGBG, for eight years before their doors closed.”

“What sort of experience do you want customers to have?” I ask. “Upscale. Intimate and personal,” he replies. “I want it to feel like a local bar. Bringing something new to the city that this city would enjoy. I want to get to know people and know their names.” Shafazand finishes by telling

me that he started busing tables at 14.

I conclude with Jameson Parvizad and Jamie Garland, 35, who have been friends for 20 years. Parvizad tells me he first started as a restaurant host at 21 years old at Rosie McCann’s in Santana Row.

“I opened my first nightclub at 30, called LVL 44. Then I opened Water Tower Kitchen in Campbell, in 2018. I have a passion for hospitality. I always saw myself as a host, and wanted people to have a good time.” I ask where this all comes from. “It comes from an upbringing of having a lot of respect for people and always taking care of them,” he says Garland tells me she began working in the industry at 17, at Straits in Santana Row. “I started cocktailing and bartending at 21. Then, in 2012, I moved out to Houston to help open Straits there. On top of that, I’ve been a hair

stylist since I was 19, and opened my own hair salon in 2016 called B Society, right here in town,” says Garland.

“Where does the name come from?” I ask. They tell me that the name Second Story came from wanting people to get their second story here, after the departure of Mountain Charley’s. Also, a play on words, since it’s on the second story. This remodel is the first major renovation in almost 60 years. All of the partners have their strengths. Cohesively the four of them work well together. They accept reservations for groups of six or more. They have plans to bring in live music, including R&B acts, finding their way to make their mark.

As I leave, they express they are aware of how important this space is for the community, so their main objective is to welcome this community back again. Hence the name.

FOLLOWING WIN OVER MILPITAS, WILDCATS LOOK POISED TO 3-PEAT

LGHS girls basketball still league heavyweight

Emanuel Lee, Sports Editor

Make no mistake: the Los Gatos High School girls basketball team took its lumps in the non-league portion of its schedule, losing seven of 10 games.

But if the Wildcats’ performance in their Santa Clara Valley Athletic League De Anza Division opener is any indication—a 61-29 win over Milpitas High on Jan. 4—they still have to be considered the odds-on favorite to win a third consecutive league championship.

“Honestly, I think we would be the front runner,” Wildcats coach Sara Quilici Giles said. “I know our record doesn’t

really show it, but I really think we have a shot of three-peating. To do it a third year in a row would be magnificent.”

Quilici Giles noted the team’s strength of schedule thus far—rated the third toughest among all Central Coast Section teams according to Max Preps—as key in her assessment of the team’s play.

Even though the Wildcats’ record is far from sublime, they’ve played a Who’s Who of perennial powerhouse programs, including Pinewood, St. Ignatius, Colfax and St. Mary’s of Stockton.

“So far the record isn’t fantastic,” Quilici Giles said. “It’s definitely the most games we’ve lost in the regular-season in quite a few years. But I really feel we’re getting so much better. I’m really excited to see how much

we’ve grown as we get into league play.”

Record aside, Quilici Giles has found other things to get excited about.

“We’re finding silver linings even when we’re losing games,” she said. “Our energy is good and we’re seeing signs of improvement. The girls know we’re climbing a mountain. Growth is not linear and we’re really figuring that out, which is a great life lesson.”

Led by the dynamic duo of fouryear starters Ashley Childers and Nicole Steiner, LGHS has the capability to dominate teams, as it did against Milpitas. Steiner, a 6-foot-1 power forward who has signed with Cal State Fullerton, is one of the most effective post players in the CCS.

She’s a double-double machine and a

dominant force on the glass. Childers, a 6-2 forward-center who has signed with Cornell, possesses the ability to knock down shots from long range and get to the basket off dribble penetration.

With their height, length and athleticism, Childers and Steiner combine to rack up several blocks and steals every game.

“Both players have improved so much every single year,” Quilici Giles said. “Nicole from a work ethic perspective and Ashley from a skill perspective. They feed off each other so well. They guard each other in practice and their on court chemistry is so great. And they’re doing a great job carrying big loads offensively and defensively for us.”

THEY’VE GOT GAME Senior starters Ella Rabitz and Ashley Childers are poised to have career-best seasons for the LGHS girls basketball team.

Junior point guard Lola Cuevas is the only non-senior in the starting lineup. Cuevas is the shortest player on the team but plays much bigger than her size.

“She’s got the highest basketball IQ and is really good at setting everyone else up on offense,” Quilici Giles said. “She’s constantly communicating whether she’s on the court or the bench. You’re always hearing her pumping up her teammates.”

Ella Rabitz, a senior shooting guard, has knockdown 3-point ability. In a scrimmage against St. Francis before the season started, Rabitz drained six 3-pointers, a testament to her outside marksmanship. Just as important, Quilici Giles said Rabtiz has come a long way since her freshman season.

“Her evolution has been great,” Quilici Giles said. “She didn’t play much in her freshman or sophomore year, but she stayed the course and is playing with so much confidence this year. She’s stepped up to be a great leader.”

Quilici Giles also praised the evo -

lution in Lucy Panicacci’s game. The senior small forward is enjoying a breakthrough year, having played sparingly up until last season.

“She’s a super coachable kid and really takes criticisms and pointers and uses them to improve,” Quilici Giles said. “Right now she’s doing her job and guards the other team’s best player. She’s super dependable and can knock down the 3-pointer as well.”

The rest of the roster includes Sophie Riese, Rita Zhou, Jenna Webb, Hanna Behnami, Safiya Sleiman and Kate Langner. Despite a rough nonleague slate, LGHS has talent, experience and players who know what it takes to win. No matter what happens the rest of the way, Quilici Giles is going to cherish this year’s squad.

“It’s such a special group and this is a really big one for me because three of the four starting seniors have been with me since their freshmen year,” Quilici Giles said. “They’re really doing a good job of leading by example and it shows.”

FANTASTIC FOUR Ella Rabitz, Nicole Steiner, Ashley Childers and Lucy Panicacci look to lead the LGHS girls basketball team to a third consecutive league championship.

LAWSUITS POINT TO KEY EVENTS IN LEAD-UP TO YINGING YU’S DEATH

Murder, from page 1

Judge Franklin Bondonno found there was enough evidence to proceed to trial at the Monday hearing.

He also found the use of a deadly weapon allegation to be true.

Six other special circumstances allegations were not addressed at the inquiry.

As first reported by WorldJournal. com, civil filings from Yu’s estate have revealed more about what was happening—or wasn’t happening—leading up to her death.

On July 19, Annie Castellino sued Yeager for breach of contract and asked the judge to hand over the deed to a home he owns in Jefferson County, Washington.

It also states that Yeager was physically abusive towards Yu, who he married on May 15, 2020.

“On March 2, 2023, Ms. Yu went to the doctor for a prenatal exam, and the doctor determined that she had been abused. On that same day, the police came to the Yeager home,” the Com-

plaint reads. “On or around March 15, 2023, John Yeager agreed to give Yingying Yu the real property located at 171 Condon Lane, Port Ludlow, Washington, in exchange for Yingying Yu’s agreement not to seek further support from him. He reduced this to writing, signed it, and gave it to Ms. Yu.”

They’d already had a girl together. And on July 30 that year, Yu’s son was born.

That same month, Yu found a lawyer to help her file for divorce, the suit adds.

But in the end, she never went through with it.

When Yeager killed her last New Year’s, it effectively violated their written agreement for the Washington property, according to Stephen Picone, of San Jose-based Picone & Defilippis, the estate’s lawyer.

“Defendant John Yeager breached the agreement with Ms. Yu on December 31, 2023 when he intentionally killed her by strangulation with a rope, thus preventing her from seeking a di-

vorce and obtaining the benefit of the bargain,” he wrote in the Complaint. “Yeager has further breached the agreement by attempting to list and sell the real property, without regard to the Estate of Yingying Yu’s beneficial ownership interest in the property.”

According to redfin.com, the house was last sold on Dec. 8, 2000, for $400,000, but is worth around $1.2 million now.

A modernaehomes.com listing indexed by Google in April 2024 included this tantalizing description of the property: “Experience unparalleled beauty & comfort in this stunning waterfront custom-built home, breathtaking views of Mt Baker & Puget Sound.”

It’s currently off the market, per zillow.com.

Castellino is asking the court to impose a constructive trust over the property, declare that Yeager holds its title as a trustee and name Yu’s estate the beneficial owner of that trust.

On Sept. 11, Yeager submitted a denial to this suit from jail. By this time, he was already facing a second suit—for the “wrongful death” of his wife.

“YEAGER confessed to strangling DECEDENT to death with a rope on New Years Eve and then disposing her body in the Santa Cruz Mountains after,” reads the Complaint, signed by Castellino’s lawyer Steve M. Defilippis.

The lawsuit, which was filed Aug. 26, adds Yu was “chased, threatened, falsely imprisoned, abused, and strangled to death with a rope with her young children under the same roof, and then discarded by YEAGER trying to cover up his murderous acts.”

This civil action claims negligence, battery and wrongful death torts, and seeks general damages for pain and suffering and loss of love, companionship and comfort, plus special damages for medical and funeral expenses—

as well as legal costs and other relief.

Yeager filed a general denial on Oct. 15.

On Sept. 16, Castellino filed another breach of contract suit against Yeager.

This one pertains to the Los Gatos property.

The estate claims that, on April 2, just a few months before Yu’s death, the couple entered into a contract whereby Yeager would sell the residence at 285 Hershner Ct. and buy a new house with both parties’ names on the deed.

And by the way, Picone stated in the Complaint, Yeager agreed that if he hadn’t sold the property by 2031 he’d have to pay Yu $400,000.

“In exchange for these promises, Yingying Yu agreed not to pursue her remedies against John Yeager for personal injury and not to seek further support from him,” the lawyer wrote. “By killing Yingying Yu, John Yeager breached the Agreement and prevented Yingying Yu from receiving the benefits due under the Agreement.”

Castellino wants the court to order a lien for the Los Gatos house, $400,000 or more in damages on top of a one-half interest in 285 Hershner Ct., and a constructive trust over the property “for the benefit of the Estate of Yingying Yu.”

Yeager denied these allegations in a filing Oct. 15.

He’s now required to appear at an arraignment hearing on Jan. 13, at 9am in Dept. 24.

CASCADIA The estate of Yingying Yu says Yeager tried to sell a property that should be in her name.

THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY

Silicon Valley: where board games are being designed

Dinah Cotton, Contributor

Was it Monopoly, Scrabble, backgammon or chess? According to Fun.com the board game market grew by 20% in 2020 (the Covid lockdown era), and revenue from board games sales was expected to hit $12 billion in 2023.

Chess “is the best-selling board game of all time, having been born in India during the Gupta dynasty in the 6th century, with more than three million sets being sold annually in the United States,” the report notes.

Andrew DiLullo, who attended Los Gatos High School and West Valley Community College, is a game designer and game writer. Last week he was kind enough to sit down with me over lunch for an interview on board games

in general, and to show me one of the board games that he has designed.

From a young age

“I started playing video games when I was about four years old,” DiLullo said. “I was given a handme-down system from my Uncle Dan (Daniel DiCaprio). He would also pass down his games to me too.” Note: some advantages of playing video games is that they can be played over and over, can be played instantly with no set up and can be played alone or with headset enmeshment with reality boundaries that are nonresistant. So, from video games at a very young age, DiLul -

lo has gone onto designing his own style of board games. Over lunch DiLullo showed me his latest “Every Last Crumb” board game. which is available at Game Kastle in Santa Clara (GameKastle.com).

How to design a new game

DiLullo revealed the secrets behind game creation. It began with a large family meal. “I had a thought: There were lots of leftovers that every last crumb was not being applied at this meal,” he explained. “That was the secondary idea. The primary idea was just trying to make a game that was based on something that people could very easily relate to, a game that

THE CREATOR Andrew DiLullo with his game Every Last Crumb, which he says has a versatile playing experience.

would be a very easy experience to get across to people. What better way than a large family meal?” So, from a large family meal the thought began to take shape. After this inspiration, he developed a game prototype, which would be tested many times prior to general public presentation.

From prototype to product “Game designers meet up to test out prototypes,” DiLullo went on. “This way you can see how people are actually playing and sometimes there is an, ‘Oh no, this is all wrong, this is a terrible thing, maybe the rules are too confusing or not clear enough.’” DiLullo said he brought Every Last Crumb to test at meetings for about 4-5 months, getting feedback and making prototype adjustments.

Did you eat every last crumb?

DiLullo explained his new board game is meant for people nine and up—“although a younger person could play if they play with a partner or on a team with an older person,” he said. “This is a fully cooperative experience, yet as some families like to be competitive I put in an alternative rule set so the players can play against one another.” The game can be tailored to players’ desired experience. It’s “a game with a sliding scale of rules to suit family needs,” he said. “I do not think that chess allows you to do that.”

Within the fascinating world

Every other Saturday at Game Kastle in Redwood City, DiLullo hosts the Golden Gate Game Makers, Bay Area group from 1-6pm. This is where the designers test their games as folks come to play. Game tables are changed up every few hours, and most of the events are free, though sometimes there’s a small fee. (Visit GoldenGateGameMakers.com for more info.)

This somewhat underground movement gained momentum with all of the Covid lockdowns, deaths, isolation and just awful times. Board games to keep the grey matter moving and with lessons, ecological lessons, how to make a sandwich, good stories crafted into a game sound better than staring at a screen, and allows snacking when it’s not your turn.

Perhaps it was the Covid isolation that kick-started our interest again in board games. Maybe this is a speck of good out of the past few years. Oh, and by the way, you may wish to reread those Monopoly game rules again; you just might be surprised. I have it on good authority from game designer Andrew DiLullo.
