What's the deal with her holding the knife behind her back while her hands were bound?

In this video Greer demonstrates how her fingerprints are on the blade and that she was probably trying to cut the ropes that were holding her hands behind her back.

Someone strangled Rebecca Zahau first before she was lowered over the balcony of a Coronado mansion in 2011, an attorney told jurors in San Diego Wednesday...

That was a picture of him 6 plus years ago. He is seated at the Defense table......his hair is now gray.

Compelling statements by Greer regarding the evidence. Looking forward to the experts&#8217; testimonies.

...In a statement obtained by PEOPLE, Adam Shacknai’s defense attorney Daniel Webb said he was disappointed that what he said was a “shameful” lawsuit was moving forward to trial.

“Multiple law enforcement agencies conducted thorough investigations and concluded that Rebecca Zahau took her own life,” the statement said. “There is no credible evidence that Adam Shacknai played any role in this tragedy other than being in the awful position of discovering Ms. Zahau’s body and immediately calling 911. Nevertheless, he and the rest of the Shacknai family has had to endure six years of baseless conspiracy theories, accusations and lawsuits that were eventually dismissed. We are confident that the trial will conclusively demonstrate that the allegations against Adam are false and finally bring some closure to the outrageous claims that have been made against him.”

<<<
Outrageous.

The Zahaus dropped Dina Shacknai and her sister Nina Romero from their lawsuit last year after surveillance footage showed they were at the hospital when authorities say Zahau died.

They soon focused solely on Adam Shacknai, and now claim he murdered Zahau as part of a sexual assault.

The only closure Daniel Webb will come to see will be closure to the outrageous claim by the San Diego County Sheriff's Department that this was a case involving suicide.

This case is what got me interested in Websleuths. I have followed it online since it happened, first in the Coronado "Patch" and now on here.

Oh the Patch. That was a rough "detox"- quite the interesting & lively forum. Lived and breathed Websleuths, the Patch, and another one that closed shortly after this case died down. I live in Phoenix and everytime I drive by that guy's company I want to get a paintball gun and aim at the front door. Instead, I say a prayer for Rebecca's family and friends. Horror story. Hoping karma hits those two brothers.

The polygraph examination of Adam Shacknai

I'm trying to imagine under what circumstances a person would say he had to take something out of her "f*cking mouth," given the situation. If I'm attempting to give the defendant the benefit of the doubt, I'm definitely struggling with the way he talks about Rebecca. Let's say he had nothing to do with her death, and he swears a lot normally ... I still don't understand how shock or whatever state he was in would lend itself to saying he had to remove something from her "f*cking mouth." She was his brother's significant other, and she was dead and naked ... so completely vulnerable. And he's talking about taking something out of her "f*cking mouth"?????
