... just before the murder ... named him as "their go to guy". I didn't see it personally, but they claim that he was not "officially" an employee or even an appointee, just a suggested resident they could contact. If this was in writing, the Martins, at some time, have a legitimate civil case against the HOA, I would think. Guaranteed they have lawyered up, and the sad part is that most Board Members on HOAs are doing it for free and as a service. In California, at least, a Board Member may be personally sued, as well as the Association. A very bad decision and not going to be pretty.
