Dina has every right to defend herself from the false charges the Zahaus have brought upon her. All of these items are important to the case, or her highly accomplished attorneys would not have asked for them.
In my opinion, her lawyers are trying to show that Rebecca did many problems, and her thinking was not rational. IMO, even before Max's fall, Rebecca had many problems with Jonah's other two children. That is why the Attorney's are requesting all of her diaries, not just those around the time of her suicide.
IMO, her journals will show how much she hated Dina, and plotted against her at every turn. I bet she even talks about how she called Max, "her son" just to tick Dina off. Kim James and her children did not like Rebecca, and Max was scared of her. This has been reported. All of her journals are relevant. The journals will show how much Rebecca wanted Jonah to marry her - something that would never happen after Max was fatally injured on her watch.
I believe Dina attorneys want the Plaintiff's diaries, journals, etc, because they want to show that the Zahaus did indeed believe Rebecca committed suicide…that is, until Anne Bremner came along on July 19th. I believe those records will show that there was a deliberate effort on the part of the Zahaus and Anne Bremner to sway the public perception of the case, in an effort to squeeze money from the Shacknais.
Rebecca had no reason to get a restraining order against Dina. The police would have laughed at her. Just more victim bashing, IMO.
This is America, and the innocent (until proven guilty) are entitled to defend themselves in this county. Thank goodness! That means they get the information they need to do that. It is the Zahaus that are delaying the case at this point…by not giving Dina's Attorneys the information they are entitled to. It is in the court record - the delays are because of the Zahaus, not Dina.
I suggest you read the last page of the Lawyer thread. AZLAwyer has said that evidence has NOT come into the case yet - we are not that far along. The time for Dina to give her statements about that to the Judge are at the Summary Judgement hearing.
It Is Rebecca's fault that Max is dead. Whether accident, or not, it is and will always be Rebecca's fault.
This case has been solved by the SDSO, with help from the DOJ, the FBI, and the Border Patrol. It has been reviewed TWICE by the California Attorney General. In addition, Jonah Shacknai had his own detectives look into the deaths.
The Shacknai supporters are very much like those that defended Travis from Jodi's trolls and followers. Rebecca and Jodi's minions don't care what the TRUTH is, they just "feel" that they are in the right no matter what law enforcement and the facts of the case show.
When I saw Jodi's mother stand before the Judge - AFTER Jodi had been convicted of murder, and had two juries vote 11-1 to kill her - and Jodi's mother is STILL saying that Jodi was the victim, not Travis - I could only think of Mary Zahau and how wrong and disgusting her actions and words have been throughout this - all while proclaiming what a Christian she is. And Jodi's followers, like Rebecca's - spew the vilest and most heinous rumors and accusations - simply because they think she was pretty - or in Rebecca's case, they also hate the rich, or people of the Jewish faith. Disgusting, IMO.
In my very strong opinion, Dina's Attorneys would not be requesting these records unless they were very important to the case. After all, it is a VERY respected Law Firm. This is not their first court case. They are extremely competent lawyers. They would not request items just because Dina might want them. So there is SOMETHING in those documnts they want. What could that be? Not immigration status. Not at all.
IMO, the records will show any arrest records in Burma, Germany, or Austria. And that will show the reason Dina did not want little Max left alone with Rebecca and another Zahau family member. IMO, Rebecca, and other Zahau family members - had prior arrests or were involved in a child's injuries.
But I did want to clarify a legal point: no one can present evidence for the first time at the Summary Judgment argument. They would need to file a written Motion for Summary Judgment, with their evidence attached. I think at this point we've determined that no one has filed any such motion yet. I don't know why the hearing was set--perhaps it will just be vacated if no one files an MSJ.
