I think I read somewhere that Mayor Tanaka is currently up for reelection.
My question is, what exactly can the Coronado City Council even do? I suppose there is always unofficial posturing, urging, backdoor pressuring, etc. But short of firing the police chief, which I DON'T think they will seriously consider, what can the council do?
The medical examiner is part of the San Diego county government-- and that is who would potentially reclassify Max's death a homicide, not Coronado, right?
I understand part of the goal for Dina was likely keeping Max's name in the public discussions, raising the profile. It will be interesting to see if the city council issues any kind of public remarks in response to Dina's comments.
I still think that if Jonah were by her side, and the Zahau family as well, all of them together pleading for the cases to be reopened, there would be a much better chance of persuading the relevant officials at all levels.
