Going strictly from memory here, IIRC, the "legal" issue that Dina wanted to preserve was related to one of her requests for a subpoena.
Dina and her attorneys believed that they needed a federal subpoena to have access to the Rady security video that was in evidence lockers, and that they could only do that via a federal lawsuit. There was much back and forth about this during the early months of the federal lawsuit. More than once, the plaintiffs (effectively, IMO) countered this idea that a federal subpoena was needed to have access to the Rady surveillance, and pointed out that any of the parties to the lawsuit ALREADY had access to the many (15?) DVDs of evidence from surveillance cameras at Rady-- that the party simply needed to GO TO the evidence locker to view the surveillance.
I'm not sure why that wasn't good enough for Dina to have "access" to the Rady surveillance evidence? Why would she and her attorneys not want to GO TO the evidence locker to view the evidence that they seem to believe will exonerate Dina of any involvement in Rebecca's alleged murder? Most innocent people would have no problem with going to the evidence facility to view the surveillance second by second, that would conclusively exonerate them from allegations of murder and wrongful death. Most innocent people would stridently demand that opportunity, IMO.
So, IDK if Dina's appeal to NOT dismiss the federal case, over this subpoena, is just another delay tactic? Or if somehow she believes that she needs the video surveillance evidence gently placed into her eagerly waiting hands by a lucky leprechaun fulfilling a federal subpoena?
All I know for sure is that the Rady surveillance video is AWFULLY important to this case. It either shows Dina there during the time in question, in hallways, in the parking lots, waiting rooms, elevator areas, passing thru common areas, or...... it does not.
I'm equally certain that if it does, we would have seen clips of Dina at Rady splashed all over the news and the internet years ago. Replayed and replayed and replayed. KWIM?
ETA: Oh, and remember that the Rady surveillance video that is preserved is from one hour PRIOR to Max's admission, until AFTER Rebecca's death. Dina should be on that surveillance multiple times, as she came and went from Rady. She's not invisible-- they will have her entering and leaving from public entrances, etc. over the course of several days. Like most visitors, there should be a pattern-- where she typically parked, which entrances used, path to ICU within the common corridors, waiting rooms, etc. Every inch of the common areas of pediatric hospitals is under surveillance at every hospital in this country, 24/7/365. That's a fact. Child safety from abduction is a very high priority in pediatric facilities. Multiple electronic measures.
