Any civil suit for wrongful death by either of the daughters who are the only two with legal standing to file in Colorado are past. They had 2 years after the death and given the condition of the body my guess it would be too late to try and extract money from their father. If I were a civil judge and I am not I would find it problematical if the daughters argued a different time of death all of a sudden. Plus they don’t seem to need money from their father and seem to be letting things take their course.
Puleeze...
Would some cohort(s) help me with the precise date on which Suzanne's death was determined to a homicide?
Because until that moment, eligible prospective plaintiff or not, there's merely a latent homicide hanging-out there.
Without evidence that a demise was "wrongfully" caused, you've got Zip Zero Nada wrt WDA's.
Here, putative plaintiffs - the daughters - were unaware that that their mom was the victim of a homicide until the coroner here declared/ruled it so. As far as the daughters knew/
(reasonably?) believed, their mom was cavorting about in Ecuador, ossp, the Happiest of Happies, away from her hellish overlord.
Furthermore, in this case, you've not got a party to sue unless/until it has been ascertained
who perpetrated this wrongful death.I believe we have here (sadly) our consensus that the daughters
don't/would rather not at this point want to know; it's not their burden to discover the perpetrator. True?
So, if this bar to filing a WDA is as cited above, are we to understand that the
CO Civil Code, in application to the circumstances as we understand these to have unfolded holds Suzanne's daughters to a virtual
"reasonable prospective plaintiff standard", and that they should have known:
"Daddy did it! We better go after him! Now!"
And sooner! Nevermind, they still don't "know", or so we are given to understand. TY, IE. And now, Sorry.Too late. Laches obtains...too bad you hadn't studied Latin.
Too bad, as well, that "The Law is a donkey", paraphrased, cannot presently be judicially-noted in the US...yet, as
"dicta", in applicable circumstances, I opine it would not constitute an abuse of decorem.
I am missing something! What may it be?
