Snipped by me
In response to the first sentence I bolded:
No one "allows" a child, adult, pet, etc to "become fatally injured while he is in her (someones) care" when an accident occurs. Accidents unfortunately happen every day. I suppose the only thing Rebecca could have done would be to watch Max like a hawk the entire time she was with him. This would mean no bathroom trips or anything else unless Max went with her. Perhaps his father should have taken Max with him to the "gym" since apparently he had made an agreement with Dina that "Rebecca could not be left alone with Max when any of her family was also present".
In response to the second sentence I bolded:
No matter which way anyone wants to slice it Max was NOT Rebecca's "sole responsibility" at the time of his tragic accident. Rebecca was also responsible for her younger sister during that time.
In response to the third sentence I bolded:
Short answer, she wasn't and she didn't. There has been no credible motive provided that Rebecca committed suicide. In fact the facts of the case prove credible motive for someone to murder her. Fortunately for whomever that was, LE was willing to wrap up the case without following through with a thorough and complete investigation. Thankfully her family is not willing to let that travesty slide and have been keeping her story in the news and taking the proper steps to find justice for her.
MOO
Greetings, TorisMom.
* In response to the 1st sentence bolded by me:
Fatal accidents involving a six year old child falling over the second floor banister most certainly do not occur every day.
* In response to the 2nd sentence bolded by me:
Indeed, there was no other adult watching Maxie at the time except Rebecca. Didn't RZ, according to her own statement, order XZ to take a shower while Maxie would clean his room? Rebecca may have been supervising XZ, too, but supervising Max was the responsibility of Rebecca and no one else.
* In response to the 3rd sentence bolded by me:
LE provided an acceptable motive for suicide. Guilt.
However, to the contrary, I do not feel that RZ held guilt. She may have been angry bc Jonah did not believe her various versions about Maxie's fall. She may have been angry bc she and Jonah were done. He didn't even go to the mansion as she laid on his courtyard lawn. It would appear that nothing was more important than being with his precious son. I digress. RZ may have been angry bc Dina, Nina, AS, MZL, and Jonah were asking for clarification regarding Maxie. Her world, as she knew it, was suddenly crashing to a halt. That's motive for suicide.
The startling site AS stumbled upon hanging from the Juliet balcony was quite dramatic. And that is an understatement. Jonah did not dash home to see about his gf not even as AS was cooperating with the LDT. RZs dramatic habit of wearing pretty colored shades of eye shadow created pretty dramatic effects. Jonah probably liked that about her. If RZ was controlling then Jonah probably liked that about her, too. After all, he is an astute businessman.
By painting the door, RZ made certain that if JS did arrive home unexpectedly, he would see the message and follow the red suicide rope. Otherwise, good ole AS would have to be the one to discover her nude body when he awoke in the morning.
And to top it off, RZ attempted to make her flagrant suicide look like a murder all the while Jonah's son lay dying in PICU. That is betraying the two years Jonah lived with her. That's brutal revenge. She tried to implicate others in her death by making her suicide look suspicious.
Her death was investigated as a homicide. The evidence only led investigators straight to Rebecca.
If the teenaged children of JS's did not care all that much for RZ or disrespected her, as has been alluded to on the threads, perhaps it was bc they were humiliated and embarrassed by her arrest record for shoplifting. Even though she paid society for her crime, it is difficult to explain to teenagers so they possess an understanding of why a grown adult would steal a grand worth of jewelry.
imo, of course
