And I wonder, if JS needs to lawyer up, if Paul Pfingst would still be involved given that he was seen behind the tapes early on at the scene and was known to call the police working the back door channels?
I'm not American.. so maybe some of you across the pond can help me understand what the implications for this ruling might mean for the investigation itself.. Ie, If a judge has ruled that there's enough evidence for this to go to trial, doesn't it also mean that there's enough to warrant the case being open for further investigation as a homicide?

Thanks, AZ, for making that all clear. Seems the case has quite a ways to go, then, as things stand.
Would this first judge not need any cause to think there *was* a case worth hearing, though? As in, anyone can 'claim' anything, but not all cases where claims are made end up in court. Is it merely the -number- of allegations that's a factor here, or that the judge deemed there be some logic or merit to the claims as well, even without viewing the evidence. The criterion for the ruling is a bit confusing to me, is all.

Lawsuit accuses PV millionaire's ex-wife, brother of murder - azcentral.com
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
A federal judge this week said there are "sufficient factual allegations" for wrongful death suit to move forward against the ex-wife and brother of Paradise Valley millionaire Jonah Shacknai.
The suit accuses Dina and Adam Shacknai of planning and executing Rebecca Zahau at Shacknai's Coronado Mansion in 2011. The suit claims the murder was in retaliation for the death of 6-year-old Max Shacknai.
Coronado Police, San Diego County Sheriff's Office investigators and the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office ruled Zahau's death a suicide.
