Wrongful Death Suit filed Nov. 13, 2013 in California, #3

[K_Z]

Lots of people are using crowd source funding for legal fees these days. There is nothing preventing Dina from starting a "please fund me" campaign. Or having a garage sale. Or a spaghetti dinner benefit. Or selling rubber bracelets, or trying to get paid interviews on major TV outlets, etc-- any other number of methods that ordinary people use to fund legal fees, cancer treatments, etc.

People can be very generous. Dina has a lot of wealthy acquaintances. She could throw a benefit dinner party or something if she needs to-- maybe another wine gala?

 

[screecher]

I wouldn't be surprised DINA is running very low on funds. These lawsuits are very costly. IMO, DINA made a very bad decision in suing Jonah, there is no way she is going to win. It's not the only bad decision, one of many.

OTOH, back when (forget the date) she rented the house in (forgot where) she did try to abscond her obligation of paying her rent which was over $300,000 , like a common thief would do.

Perhaps it is just way of life for DINA? Not paying off the debts she incurs?

Imo, it is very possible Mary has used her house as collateral to obtain money to pay the legal fees for the justice she is seeking for her sister. That would be very noble.

Does anyone have a link to support this? TIA

You say noble, I say desparate to make $10 Million Dollars by acussing innocent people of heinous crimes.

It is clear that Dina takes any legal problem she has to court. If there was a dispute between her and the property's landlord, court is the PROPER way to settle it.

A common theif is someone who steals when they don't have to - like when Rebecca Zahau stole $1000 worth of jewerly to make herself look pretty.

very good idea! and another glass of wine right now, can only make things.. well... um...

Dina rented the "Taj Mahal" in La Jolla, CA for two months for about $32,000. She was sued by the owner, Philippe Feune De Colombi (case # 37-2010-00083182) for breach of contract.

Yes, but that usually backfires when there is no proof to support the accusation. I don't believe Dina was anywhere near the mansion during the time frame of RZ's death. I do believe LE will reopen the homicide investigation into Max's death if they have not already done so.

Thanks Inparadise!!! I thought it was in La Jolla but wasn't sure. Only was sure she skipped out on paying the rent. It goes to show another example of DINA's sense of unwarranted entitlement.

 

[LuckyLucy2]

IMO, what it goes to show is that the Zahau followers believe anything. The case has no information other than the names. It doesn't show if it was thrown out or what. He may have sued her, but that doesn't mean he was in the RIGHT.

As we have seen with the Zahaus, anyone can SUE anyone for anything - whether it is TRUE or NOT.

But again, this has NOTHING to do with the subject of this thread. It seems any time the subject turns to how the Zahaus have no evidence, or Max, or Rebecca's shoplifting as a 30-year old adult, the trolls try to derail the thread.

I agree, Lash. I think it's also important to remember that Mary Zahau works hard at a very responsible health care job that requires a state license and national certification. Attorneys like to see client work history like that, and will often work out payment plans for people of modest means that are in need of high quality legal representation-- especially if they have a full time job.

Adam has a very responsible job, as well.

Come to think of it, there is nothing preventing Dina from getting a job, just like Mary and Adam. She once had a pretty good career selling medical equipment-- I'm sure she could go back to doing something that, if she needed a regular source of income.

Thanks, IP. I always thought that was an odd story-- why was she given access to the property without paying? I have rented private (luxury) homes many times, in lots of locations, for short term rentals-- a few weeks, or a couple months. Always thru a real estate rental management company. The property agencies I've worked with always require payment in full, including security deposits and terminal cleaning fees, from all customers before the lease is signed and rental period begins. No access to the property unless the entire rental period is paid in full. IDK-- I guess things are different in that area of CA.

Well, anyway, it sounds like the owner sued Dina, and they must have worked it out. It sure sounds like Dina has been involved in a whole lot of lawsuits and legal actions over the years. More than the average person, for sure. SMH.

 

[K_Z]

Actually, we ARE on topic, IMO.

Dina has some very prominent attorneys that have recently officially withdrawn from representing her. We are speculating why that might be. And it's only logical to speculate that ONE of the very common reasons that attorneys withdraw from representing clients (especially high priced attorneys), is that the client hasn't paid them for their services. Dina has a relatively recent history of being sued for non-payment of a substantial rental bill. So that adds to the full picture, IMO.

This is a civil suit. The financial means of both the plaintiffs, and the defendants, is part of the discussion.

My opinion is that Dina is currently in a very difficult financial situation. IMO, all the signs point in that direction. Others may disagree, and think her finances are just fine. It's ok with me either way.

But we can certainly move along. What shall we discuss next?

Let's discuss whether any summary judgment motion was actually filed in the San Diego County wrongful death suit. I can't find it on the docket anywhere, but people keep saying Dina filed a motion for summary judgment, which will be heard in October. The October hearing shows up on the docket, but no motion, no response, no reply. Certainly the judge is not going to hold a summary judgment hearing with no motion being filed, so I'm inclined to think the calendar entry is in error unless someone has another idea.

 

[K_Z]

AZlawyer, my thought on that is that maybe they just put "ordinary" regular things on the calendar docket ahead of time? Because the Judge's time is tightly scheduled?

Would they just put an "appointment" for summary judgement on the schedule, anticipating that eventually, as the case progresses, one of the defendants will file the motion?

Could be. Certainly their calendaring system seems a little whacko based on the constant cancelling-resetting-reinstating of dates.

In addition, they don't take on cases that they can't WIN.

BBM: We can also speculate that the attorneys have withdrawn because they do not think they can win the case.

 

[K_Z]

I guess maybe the remaining attorneys are writing the motion for summary judgment, then? I'll be interested to read that, when it's filed and available. I hope it includes very specific information about Dina's "iron clad alibi" for her location during the time in question of Rebecca's death.

I'm really looking forward to hearing more about Dina's "iron clad alibi", and the staff eye witnesses that supposedly will verify her presence at Max's bedside during the time in question. I think it's definitely time now, almost 4 years later, to make that "iron clad alibi" public, to stop all the murder speculation, right?

And publicizing that "iron clad alibi", if it exists, could only provoke sympathy in the general public, right? She would GAIN supporters, very quickly, by producing and publicizing that "iron clad alibi". I sure can't figure out what the down side of that would be.

So, about 2 weeks ago, Dina gave a written statement to the media (was it the local NBC affiliate?) that she was "alone" at Max's bedside during the time in question. I'd really like to hear more about that. I think a lot of people would like to hear more about that.

This thread keeps pulling me back to it. I hope there are answers for the Zahau family.....such a tragic crime.

I responded in the lawyer thread. I didn't see this post until just now. Any chance the motion was filed and sealed? More detailed question in the lawyer thread. TIA

[justice be served]

San Diego Superior Court posting #167.

Just the Notice of Rescheduled Hearing advanced from 6.26.15 to 6.19.15 at 9:30 a.m. That means Case Management Statements must be filed no later than 6.5.15.

'Hearing advanced per court-plaintiff's counsel to notice parties not noticed.'

Does that means there are new attorneys maybe? I haven't been following the attorneys.
