Scolnick also said Bill and Amy Gross lied repeatedly when they testified, so anything they said shouldn’t be believed.
Bill and Amy Gross continue to show their contempt for the court, Scolnick said. “Enough is enough.”
But Glaser said Towfiq failed to provide any proof the noise level on his property was above 60 decibels after 10 p.m., as required by the Laguna Beach municipal code for a noise violation.
“Mr. Towfiq didn’t have or use a decibel meter,” Glaser said. Neither did the police, she said. And she called the video evidence “unreliable.”
She suggested that the judge order the installation of a decibel meter between the properties and order the Grosses not to play music above 65 decibels.
Glaser said she was taken aback by Scolnick’s suggestion that the Grosses be jailed for violating the order.
“I can’t imagine it’s in the best interest of Orange County to put Mr. Gross and Ms. Gross in jail,” Glaser said.
Scolnick rejected the idea of a neutral decibel meter, saying the Grosses would find a way to continue to annoy their neighbors.
When Glaser asked to respond to Scolnick’s rebuttal, the judge shut her down.
“I’ve heard almost all that I can take,” Knill said.
