You might be thinking of Max Shacknai. His fall was from an interior balcony.

I thought they both were in the interior. I wondered how typical wooden spindles in the interior of a home could have held her weight, although I guess now that I see the diagram, it was the bed anyway.

The Zahau family’s attorney, Keith Greer, told San Diego TV station KSWB in November that his clients are not seeking money and that a monetary settlement would be rejected if one is offered.
“It’s a matter of honour at this point. They want to clear their sister’s name and expose the person who did this,” he said.

— A jury of six men and six women has been seated in the Zahau wrongful death lawsuit trial with opening statements set to being at 9:15 a.m., on Wednesday.

The first witnesses on the stand following opening statements will be Rebecca Zahau's sister Mary and her mother Pari, who are plaintiffs in the case.

A long time coming. May the truth come out. From the moment Rebecca’s “suicide” hit the news I knew it was murder, as we all did. No woman would kill herself this way. I don’t believe that a murder and suicide staging this elaborate was conceived by AS all by himself. It defies credulity.

Was it ever determined if the court was going to allow live streaming?

As it stands right now, there will be no live stream.
I received a reply from author, Caitlin Rother, who is writing a book on the case and attending the trial. She said the judge has only allowed pool coverage consisting of one broadcast and one still camera.

Beautiful but that's some serious consumerism going on. Not for everyone's taste even if they could afford it.

I have thought so many times of those photos of Rebecca's nude body on the ground as captured by helicopters flying overhead. I so resent the police that allowed that to happen. Still can't believe they did not cover her body.


Justice for Rebecca.

Investigators believe Zahau killed herself, in part, because she learned Max was not expected to live on July 13, the day she was reportedly found hanging.

Not only is bbm untrue, as per Greer on the podcast, the painted message is proof this was not the belief of anyone at the mansion that night - whoever painted the message.

If Rebecca painted the words "she saved him" it shows she thought she saved Max's life. If AS painted the words "she saved him" he thought she saved Max's life.

And since when did a person write she and her about themselves. They should strip the word investigators from their job descriptions.

Houdini could have done this to himself but who do they think they are kidding with their overboard reconstructions of the knots.

This makes me angry, if you couldn't tell.

Justice for Rebecca.

IMO, Jonah Shacknai and Sheriff Gore should both be investigated for obstruction of justice and Sheriff Gore should also be investigated for incompetence, at minimum.

Is this trial being held in the courthouse downtown on Broadway?

Justice for Rebecca.

Leaving Rebecca’s body uncovered for all to see showed total disrespect and contempt for her as a human being. Was this a conscious decision, based on the influence of certain people? Did no one on the scene raise an objection and attempt to do the right thing? Who was responsible for this indignity? No excuse is possible. This is absolutely unforgivable.

According to cynic's post it's being held at "Central". I don't know if that helps.

I can't understand how there would not be video footage at the Spreckels Mansion. There should at least be something nearby. I am certain that this was a cover up. I think it was due to her having injured that child. Someone was very angry.
