Jonah Shacknai Wants Investigation Reviewed

[jjenny]

I think the timing of Jonah's request is too convenient. Perhaps he was preempting headlines about the search warrants being unsealed.

Monday, Jonah Shacknai sends letter to Attorney General

Tuesday "a San Diego Superior Court judge ordered at the request of The San Diego Union-Tribune and nine other news organizations that search warrants obtained by sheriff’s investigators be unsealed in the case."

I am hoping the news organizations can get 911 calls unsealed.

An investigation like this would cost hundreds of thousands if not more. so I disagree with you. Unfortunately, justice IS sometimes for the rich.

So true.

That would be great... I hope it is all unsealed.

I agree, time.

IMO, he sent that letter to make himself look good. That is what I honestly think. I am just not as trusting as others are, especially since I have read of the items recovered in the search warrants.

No matter how much money someone has, some opinions cannot be influenced. I do believe JS did not think there would have been an outcry such as the suicide ruling has caused, and that people would let it go. He has now seen that at least some of the public has no intention of letting it go.

I also look for DS to sue JS for Max's death having happened in his home. They will likely settle out of court if that happens, though. JMO.

The above post is just my opinon.

Those calls are what I really want to hear. I hope some news agency is working on it!

Sadly, I do not see this happening.

Let me put it this way: If I thought for one moment that someone was responsible for the death of my only child, the last thing I would want to investigate is what happened to the person that killed my child. I wouldn't care. I would be obsessed with finding out what happened to my baby.

I do believe Jonah has been supportive of the Zahou's efforts though.

I just don't fault Dina for not being supportive of it. It's the mother in me.

But I certainly wish it was playing out like you stated and they could come together.....

I don't believe Rebecca intentionally harmed Maxie, but I certainly agree the mother in me would definitely want answers. I honestly can't blame Dina whatsoever for not being supportive of it.

So tragic all the way around.

I agree with you but also want to add that I think that he along with the le underestimated the fact that rz's family would have the resources to gain the professionals they have gotten to help them. These are immigrants from Burma and in my opinion maybe everybody thought that they would just go away. Jmo.

In my post I was just addressing the point that JS wouldn't think that the press wouldn't grab onto the story. He seems to be a very business savvy man who is very aware that his image is very important when it comes to his business. IIRC it was reported that he made a point to call everyone that he does business with.

Witch brings me to something else I have been thinking about. I would think that a man with that much power, money and concern for his image would not want to get his hands dirty. He could easily pay for a professional hit, and I can't see a professional killing Rebecca the way she died.

And I'm not sure that he would assume that Rebecca's family would just let this happen. Her father didn't back down when it came to his situation in Asia, to me it seems to me that Rebecca's are not the type to remain silent about injustice

Jonah is a powerful man. CEOs can make enemies on the ladder up to success. The private security was to protect himself in case his loved ones were being targeted making it reasonable that he may be next.

IMO

My long-standing opinion has been that the the role of JS as the founder and CEO of a multi-million dollar pharmaceutical firm plays a large part in this tragedy. I believe that MS had an accident that was set in motion due to the circumstances he was in. I can see how the death of RZ might have come about from a number of causes, most tying back to her relationship with the powerful CEO of a company involved in the high-stakes business of drugs. I think we have no idea what goes on in that world, but I suspect we underestimate the motivations and drive of folks who are involved in the development and marketing of pharmaceuticals.

I applaud the request of JS to examine these tragedies further. I think as the CEO of Medicis he was mandated to do that by the Medicis Board. SOMEone with Medicis surely recognized the potential losses this company would incur from a buying public who had unanswered questions surrounding the mysterious and tragic deaths in his personal life.

All of the above is IMHO.

This was very good of him to do.

Why did he wait so long? This was ruled a suicide quite a while ago.

I honestly don't understand why wanting the deaths to be investigated by the AG office was to put Jonah in a good light.

If the AG does a complete investigation of their own that will mean 5 different agencies have investigated this case.

It shows me that Jonah Shacknai also has unanswered questions on both deaths and wants to be assured that the results are correct.

With wanting the case to be investigated by the head attorney in California it shows me that Jonah Shacknai has absolutely has nothing to hide.

No one that has done something wrong wants the state or their investigators nosing around in a case..especially one that has already been closed.

IMO

Perhaps because the speculation is still rampant about him and his family as it was before LE/ME came to their determination on both deaths.

Jonah Shacknai has not asked for a new investigation. He has asked that the investigative techniques and methods used be reviewed. there is a difference. He also stated he believes that RZ committed suicide...and that was very early on.

Yes..I believe it was a calculated, concerted effort by his very expensive PR firm to sway public perception. It has not worked, IMO. Epic fail.

Why did he wait so long? This was ruled a suicide quite a while ago.

Because he really believes it was a suicide, as do I. He's doing this merely to appease the Zahau family.

Do you happen to have a link? Do you know him personally to know what he believes? Has he told you that he is doing this to appease the Zahau family?

Maybe he is also wanting the case to be reviewed trying to appease Dina.

I think she has just as much doubt about how her son died as the Z family does about Rebecca.

Dina is not the only one who has doubts. But I agree with you about him wanting Dina comforted in regards to Max's death. I can't imagine what that family is going through.

 

[TorisMom003]

If a person has a self-serving reason for doing something publicly, should they be applauded for it? IMO no.

I have read that not only Dina but Jonah also has questioned how Max died. Both have implicated Rebecca in his death. Dina has said that she believes that Max was suffocated, so who does she believe did that? Well there was one person in that house at that time that she has a major grudge against so I would suspect she means Rebecca. Jonah had been asking people at the funeral/memorial if Rebecca could have done this. So either Jonah believes that Rebecca played a bigger role in Max's death or he wants others to think she did. And yet I see posts concerning Rebecca's family placing blame on Max's family with no regard to what else has been said from the other side.

Both families do not completely accept the rulings/findings of the ME and LE in either case. Both families have the right to have a complete investigation done in the matter of their loved ones. Neither families have the right to completely overlook that a terrible loss was dealt to the other side.

MOO

I think there is a real danger to justice with PR manipulation. I have watched many cases where the truth does get hidden and the public never really knows what goes on.

I think DS might sue him also and that after Max was hurt there was a very volatile situation. Those two appeared to be pretty volatile for several years before they divorced already. DS did not like RZ and apparently (do we have records) did not want Max alone with her. I tend to believe Rebecca did nothing wrong related to Max's death nor before that with the kids, but given the relationship between DS/JS, that DS and RZ did not like each other, and the timelines/claims we are seeing this all seems incredibly important to me. Unfortunately, LE didn't either look into this or they deemed it insignificant to the two deaths.
