Wrongful Death Suit filed Nov. 13, 2013 in California, #4

Exactly. And little Maxie would still be alive if Jonah never laid eyes on Rebecca. That's my opinion.
Nothing but sadness for everyone involved.

No Max would still be alive had Dina PICKED UP HER SON AS SHE WAS SCHEDULED TO THAT MORNING AT 10am. How coincidental that at the same time Dina was supposed to have retrieved her son at the Spreckels mansion that was the same time Max then had the accident and Dina was then NOWHERE to be found for 4-6 hours thereafter? Hmmm....Hmmm....Very HINKY.

I, too, think that the defendants are running very scared right now. There's quite a flurry going on. JMO

New scheduling entry, #267, on the SD ROA.

As this is a hearing for summary judgment, there has to be (as AZlawyer has posted) a motion filed for summary judgment. Thus far, there has been no motion for SJ.

I think San Diego just automatically re-schedules this after a certain interval. We have seen this a number of times now. Note that the date is a year from now.

267 01/12/2016 Summary Judgment / Summary Adjudication (Civil) scheduled for 01/13/2017 at 08:45:00 AM at Central in C-69 Katherine Bacal.

Thanks I didn't know that part..now there is even more reason for Rebecca to have been mad and taken her anger out on Max!

 

[Waitaminute]

regarding RZ's ability to jump over the railing, or run away from would be captors, I remember that Rebecca was injured during this time and walking with a pronounced limp. any ideas?

I was under the impression it was a lifelong or permanent type thing that she had for a while, although not sure what caused it in the first place. and it didnt appear to be anything that kept her from working out or running etc.

Thank you KZ!

As anticipated a motion for summary judgment was not filed by any of the defendants. Hence no hearing today. IIRC, a summary judgment hearing is the time for a defendant to show an alibi and or documentation to prove the plaintiffs complaint wrong.

So does this mean that we have another year to wait before we know anything on this ?

Hi SweetT

Judge Bacal has yet to rule on the Demurrers.

And nothing on the court docket is set in stone.

Events can be vacated and rescheduled.

At one point a trial was scheduled for last fall.

San Diego County currently has no Sunshine Ordinance under the FOIA.

It has to be passed through a ballot initiative.

Only these CA municipalities have the ordinances:

Contra Costa County
Benicia
Berkeley
Milpitas
Oakland
Alameda
San Francisco
Riverside
Vallejo
Gilroy

So there is no path for the San Diego media to get the SDCSO case file released so the public would at last learn WHOLE truth.

But the fact is, the media quickly moved on after hyping and sensationalizing the case. Which led to all the wild speculation and rumor.

Even if there was a Sunshine Law in place, I doubt any of them would bother with this "old" story.

Hi Jessica :wave:

FWIW, in the very early days of the investigation(s) the story was Dina was scheduled to pick Max up before noon. I don't know where this detail came from. Maybe Bourne has a link? Whether it was reported and scrubbed or maybe a comment made somewhere? When creating the timeline here for WS I could not found a link to support this.

What we do have is an interview with Tricia and Zahau attorney at the time, Marty Rudoy. Attorney Rudoy does not mention any plans for Dina to pick Max up that day. In his interview Rudoy states the plans for the the day were to go to the beach.

WS Timeline-

10:00 AM – Rebecca and Max wake XZ. She was to shower and Max clean his room. They had plans to go to the beach. According to Attorney Marty Rudoy.

Hi Waitaminute :wave:

Trainer Recalls Spreckels Victim's Fitness, Friendliness

--One also mentioned a permanent limp the woman attributed to an accident that she didn't explain.

--One of his trainers, Reed Holman, recalled Zahau's evident limp, he thought on her left side.

She had “an awkward walk,” he said, describing it as the gait of someone who could not put her full weight down on a foot because of a blister or sore.

[burke_dennings]

Becky's limp didn't appear to be much of a hinderance at all:


According to William K. Christian, an ophthalmologist who worked closely with her:

“She could run like a gazelle. She ran up Camelback Mountain in 32 minutes"

and "competed in last year’s Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon—26.2 miles—without even training for it,” says another friend.

Hi Lash,

My notes in the timeline show that Dina provided this information in a press conference she gave about Max's custody arrangement she had with Jonah.

Looks like we need to find it in the transcripts of her press conferences.

Thank you, Betty P. Very interesting. This family has been through so much, and they remain so dignified.

And it is even more disheartening to me to think about how Dina and her attorneys are focused on exploiting the Zahau's history and immigration status in this lawsuit. What in the heck does any of that have to do with Dina defending herself from allegations of murder?? It's absurd to the extreme. That whole line of Dina's inquiry is simply astounding and disgusting to me, on so many level-- racist, classist, etc. Certainly revealing of Dina's state of mind. I'm glad Dina and her attorney were told in no uncertain term by immigration authorities that the details are simply none of Dina's business.

As we discussed before, this was just Dina's attempt to dig up "something" that she could use to try to challenge Robert Zahau's, and Pari Zahau's standing to bring the lawsuit. And it didn't work, fortunately.

This post linked below has that letter from USCIS imaged (with thanks and credit to Lash). It was contained in the Federal lawsuit documents:

Oh-- and that letter from USCIS was just posted March 23, 2015-- so we know Dina has been obsessing over the Zahau immigration as of just a few months ago. Man, what a grudge, IMO. Sick.

And also remember Dina has recently (Aug 31, 2015) filed a request to submit a Letter Rogatory (#223, 224 on San Diego ROA). So she is still poking and prying, trying to dig up "something" on the Zahaus from another country, rather than focusing her legal efforts on defending herself and providing an alibi.

IMO, the second ex-mrs. jonah shacknai has no alibi! Not only has she no alibi, a witness saw her at the mansion lurking about. Hence the futile attempts to garner info on the Zahau family and their immigration. Probably hoping she could find some small technicality to get the case thrown out. Its also my very strong opinion this case will move forward to trial.

Thank you KZ!

All she has to do is give her alibi...why has she not shown the court the plaintiffs are in error???

IMO, Dina Romano is up ***** creek without a paddle and everyone of import knows it.

Again, excerpts are in Ann Rule's book.

You do know Ann Rule had dementia while penning that book, yet you continue to use her as a viable source. Why is that?
