Meet attorney Monica Zent. Back in college, she dated a guy who turned out to be a pretty bad fellow. In fact, he murdered his parents and a sibling so he could take over the family fortune. The boyfriend, Dana Ewell, and his college buddy, Joel Radovcich, were accused of murdering Ewell's mother, State Bar Board of Governors member Glee Ewell, her husband Dale, and their daughter Tiffany, on Easter Sunday in 1992. Zent was investigated, but no one could prove any involvement on her part, other than her apparent lack of desire to cooperate in the investigation that led to her boyfriend's murder convictions, and the fact that he used some of the money to pay for part of her law school tuition.
Eventually, Ewell was convicted, and Zent went on to dump him, complete law school and build a successful law practice (and legal blog). For the most part, people forgot all about Monica Zent's connection to the story. Then, in 2004, some fellow named David Loya found about about the story, Zent, and her new successful life, and decided to send an email to her colleagues. On July, 2, 2004, Loya sent an e-mail to attorneys affiliated with the Zent Law Group. The subject line of the e-mail was “Monica Zent and murder for profit.” The entire text of the message read as follows:
“Monica Zent’s college boyfriend Dana Ewell was convicted of murdering his parents and sister. Read about it by typing in an internet keyword search using Zent’s and Dana Ewell’s name.”
This made Zent quite angry. Naturally, being a lawyer, she sued. Loya filed an unsuccessful "Anti-SLAPP" (Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation) motion, asking the court to find that his email was protected speech on a matter of public interest. The court denied his motion, and Loya appealed. Now, because of that appeal, there is a Court of Appeal opinion that reminds not only Zent's colleagues of her scandalous relationship with a murderer, but tunes in people like me, with tantalizing facts like this, straight out of the opinion:
“Catch Me If You Can—A California Saga of Murder, Greed, and Two Heroic Detectives” ... was an account of the 1992 murders of Dale and Glee Ewell, and their 24-year old daughter Tiffany Ewell. It detailed the homicide investigation that led to the 1995 arrest of Dana Ewell, who was Dale and Glee Ewell’s son and Tiffany Ewell’s younger brother. The book also recounted Dana Ewell’s jury trial in 1998 with codefendant Joel Radovcich, and the ultimate convictions of both defendants on three counts of first degree murder. Zent was Dana Ewell’s girlfriend when he and Radovcich committed the murders and she continued to be involved with him for several years thereafter while investigators gathered evidence proving that Ewell was behind the crimes.
Zent and Dana Ewell met while they were both undergraduates at Santa Clara University and they began dating several months before the murders occurred. Their two families met during Easter weekend in 1992 at the Ewell family beach house at Pajaro Dunes. On the afternoon of Easter Sunday, April 19, 1992, Dana Ewell’s mother, father and sister set out to return to their home in Fresno. Later that afternoon Dana Ewell joined Zent and her family at their home in Morgan Hill. Dana Ewell spent the evening with the Zent family, including Zent’s father John Zent, an FBI agent. Zent and Dana Ewell returned to Santa Clara later that night. While Dana Ewell was spending time with Zent and her family that Sunday evening, his college friend Joel Radovcich was waiting inside the Ewell home in Fresno for the Ewell family to return home from the coast. He had a gun he had equipped with a home-made silencer. When they arrived home, some time between 5:00 and 6:00 pm, he shot all three of them, waited for night to fall and then made his way back to his home in southern California.
After the bodies were discovered several days later, Zent, her father John Zent, and Dana Ewell traveled together to Fresno. Police interviewed them and Zent and her father established that Dana Ewell was having dinner with them in Morgan Hill at the time his family was murdered. With the exception of this brief interview, Zent refused to talk to homicide detectives throughout the investigation. Over the next three years, during which the investigators set up extensive surveillance of Dana Ewell and Joel Radovcich, Zent continued to be involved with Dana Ewell. According to Souza’s declaration, the investigators located approximately 17 bank accounts jointly held by Ewell and Zent, in Fresno and in various locations in southern California.
Zent was with Ewell when investigators visited him in his dorm room at Santa Clara University in May of 1993, to talk to him about the investigation and its focus on his friend Joel Radovcich as a prime suspect. Ewell refused to discuss the case with them. Shortly after the detectives left, Ewell and Zent left the dorm together in Ewell’s Mercedes and eluded police by suddenly crossing several lanes of traffic on the freeway. Shortly thereafter they were seen at a pay phone where Ewell was making a call that police believed was to Radovcich’s pager, and Zent was waiting in the car.
Due to the deaths of Dana Ewell’s mother, father and sister, he took over management of the trust for his grandmother Glee Mitchell, who was in a nursing home. Some time between 1992 and 1995, Zent was granted power of attorney over the health care of Mitchell. Funds from Mitchell’s trust were rapidly depleted, spent by Ewell on himself, Radovcich and Zent. Investigation of financial records revealed, among other things, that a payment in the amount of $17,014 was made on April 18, 1994, from the Glee Mitchell trust to the University of San Diego, where Zent was then attending law school. Records showed an additional $39,701 was paid to Zent from the Glee Mitchell trust, including checks for $5,000 on March 7, 1994 and $9,950 on January 13, 1995. Investigators also found a handgun among Dana Ewell’s belongings, which had been purchased with a credit card bearing Zent’s name.
Ewell and Radovcich were arrested in March of 1995 for the murders of Dale Ewell, Glee Ewell, and Tiffany Ewell. Zent was not arrested or charged with any crime. She did not testify at the trial in 1998; however her father testified for the defense and during his testimony made favorable statements about Dana Ewell. A jury found both defendants guilty of three counts of first degree murder, with special circumstances of financial gain, multiple murder, and lying-in-wait. On appeal, the judgments were affirmed by the Fifth District Court of Appeal, in an opinion filed on May 4, 2004. A petition for review was filed in the California Supreme Court on June 14, 2004 and the petition was still pending on July 2, 2004, when Loya sent his e-mail to attorneys at ZLG. The petition for review was later denied on August 25, 2004.
These facts were discussed in a number of newspaper and periodical articles, as well as a popular true-crime book and a television segment. Yet Zent thought it was an invasion of her privacy to have someone tell people about in ten years later. Instead of letting a sleeping story lie, Zent made a case out of it, and now a new generation of people, including her current and future colleagues, have a Court of Appeal opinion to refamiliarize themselves with the story. Sometimes, when you think your privacy is being invaded, filing a lawsuit is maybe not the best way to restore and preserve that privacy.
Monica zent is a criminal .i describe her as follows as i do dana ewell .joel radosvich.greedy lieing sociopathic demonic whores pigs scumbags lowlife thieves i hope dana and joel are sleeping happily ever after and same goes to jack ponce

She didnt plan the murder or pull the trigger. But her ex did plan it,but he was a coward and sent someone else to commit murder. She might have knew he was involved im sure. She aint no fool. She rode him and accepted his money to make that move. He was giving,she was taking. No crime in that,just a bit of a moral issue. But law school is expensive. The past is in the past. Glad she is successful in her chosen profession. He may have supplied some money,but more importantly she supplied the brain and put in the work.

Monica Zent is clearly just another scum lawyer who stepped on others to get what she wanted.
She dated the same type of sociopath.
Birds of a feather......
Posted by: Kria | January 09, 2011 at 03:50
I would like to clarify a few things.
1. Not all lawyers are liars or scum of the earth. I am a lawyer and find that most people hate us because they have to hire us to get them out of trouble (criminal, bad marriage, bankruptcy, etc.) and if we cannot grant their every wish we are worthless - we are NOT genies!
2. I think I am a pretty good judge of character (even before I became a lawyer) and I feel that for sure I would know a sociopath when I saw one, ESPECIALLY if I were dating one! (Not like it would even ever get that far!) I think that anyone who cannot determine that the guy they are sleeping with has the ability to murder their own parents and sister, cannot have good judgment and shouldn't be trusted with anything! I certainly would not trust an attorney who has such horrendous judgment. She was young but she was an ADULT at the time.
Posted by: Michelle | July 07, 2010 at 01:03
Perhaps the reason that Monica is a great Lawyer, is beacause she is a great liar. I wonder if Monica has any real morals and given back any of the cash that was scaled from grandma"s account, to either the family or to charity ? I doubt it. Monica and the demons that she has been associated with will remain with her forever. P S . Isn't this how AMERICA was built? On lies, Greed, and manipulation.
Posted by: barbara brooks | June 20, 2010 at 14:20
Zent definitely knew what was going on. She was with Dana when Dana paged Joel after the cops told Dana they think Joel is involved. How the heck do you explian that? Thank you.
Posted by: ToeZup | January 30, 2009 at 09:32
Lawyers are amoral scum, which explains why they resist every effort to reform the manner in which misconduct complaints are handled. Classic fox-guarding-the-chicken coop.
I knew a law student who was Mr nice guy....BEFORE he got his license to pillage. Within a few years he was reprimanded for shafting a client. Have you known any lawyer who wouldn't go to extremes to pick your pocket.
This cunt was obviously ideal lawyer stock, anxious to overlook the reality of the situation and accept funds from someone who was obviously a narcisstic whackjob, and must have suspected he was involved in the murders due to his bizarre, unemotional reaction. This POS even complained about the manner cops tore up the crime scene to gather evidence.
Equally bizarre is the fact pappa FBI man didn't insist on distancing the family from this psycho, which can be explained by the fact they were benefitting financially.

Nope, Joel went to high school in the San Fernando Valley - he went to a small private Catholic high school called Chaminade College Preparatory. I know because he was in my class.

Going into law, wouldn't a smart, sophisticated person run from someone labeled a 'person of interest' rather than maintain any amount of social contact with that person??
Geeze!!!

I am surprised that nobody has mentioned Monica's FBI agent Father John Zent and his screwed up connection with Ali Mohamed. and al-Qaeda. Looks like the family has a history of being fooled.

My ex-wife was also involved with Ewell and Radovcich during their undergraduate years, the investigations, and the trial. She was also young and naive, and tried to protect the convicted murderer. Reading this thread reminds me of dozens of reasons why the divorce took place.

Hello All,
I wouldn't normally take the time to do this but I felt I needed to. Dana would not be able to leave any comments on here as he does not have access to the internet. He would also not say any ill words about Monica or anyone. He would be saddened by this site and the current blog. It has been a long time. Let Monica move on with her life as Dana only wishes her the best. God Bless~

I actually do not believe either of the "Dana Ewell" comments were from the real Dana Ewell. The last thing I heard about his whereabouts was that he was incarcerated at Corcoran State Prison. The IP addresses for the comments come from Minnesota and Cupertino, California.

I am the real Dana Ewell and whomever wrote the comment above is clearly trying to hurt Monica. Monica is not responsible for anything. Leave her alone. Those posting the comments posing as me and this Jose character above clearly have a vendetta and I would suspect it has to do with this other Loya character who is the defendant in her case. Why don't you people get a life. Leave the woman alone.

If you think there is nothing wrong with providing a false alibi for a suspect in a triple murder, then she did nothing wrong except help spend the profits.

MONICA ZENT DID NOTHING WRONG! She obviously made a big mistake at a young age in dating someone who turned out to be a sociopath and who duped her as apparently he did everyone else. She is a super lawyer and a super person. That is the only truth about her. The rest of this is bullshit.

she knew exactly what was going on and why would she refuse to talk to police about a triple homocide? also dont forget her daddy was working for the fbi at the time and actually intefered with the investigation at the time it was going on. looks like the apple doesnt fall far from the tree does it? she's trash as far as i'm concerened.-jose

How do you know she didnt have knowledge of the crime before it happened. She sure didn't mind wearing gifts that were bought with Ewell's grandmothers fund.She also knew from the get go that Dana Ewell was a person of interest.

Fuck you and Fuck Monica Zent. You were all in on it and I am the one paying for the crime. The reason for all of these lawsuits is because you are trying to protect yourself from looking guilty. She knows that she received and used the money from the Mitchell trust. If I were her, I would just shut the fuck up,

MONICA ZENT IS AN EXCELLENT LAWYER! Anyone who has ever worked with or hired her knows this. Like the prior comment, she couldn't detect a sociopath anymore than the rest of us. She's obviously not hiding from anything with her own law firm and blog because she didn't do anything wrong. Go Monica! Don't let any of this get you down!

the first book "Seeds of Evil" doesn't reveal that Zent was trustee on Glee Mitchell's Trust.
Maybe that came out at trial.
Moral: don't accept money from teenagers and give boyfriends lie detector tests. Sociopaths are very hard for some people to detect. If its too good to be true, it probably is.

I hope Zent doesn't sue you...
