Some musings on an early morning.
LK says she attacked MB with her phone while he and RG were struggling for control of the gun. She says it happened after she was shot. But then there is confusion about who called 911, and when, and who called the attorney who supposedly called JK. So I am wondering if a possible scenario is as follows:
LK saw MB’s truck coming down the driveway. She knew he would be livid because someone had reported him to CPS for “child abuse” (what, because he was making them sleep on mattresses on the floor of the barn office? Or maybe it was something more onerous, like he was making them clean stalls–yes, I am being facetious). At any rate, she claims she did not make the CPS call, so I am wondering if it was RG, or maybe her father, but she obviously knew CPS had been called.
So when she saw MB heading to the house, she knew there would be trouble so she immediately called for RG to come out of the house. Meanwhile she was dialing 911. RG came outside to see MB engaged in an angry conversation with LK. LK’s dog got out of the house (with RG?) and went after MB, who pulled his gun. RG jumped MB (if he was on the porch and MB was on the ground, RG would have had the advantage of height and inertia). A struggle ensued. LK joined the struggle, hitting MB with her phone. Gun discharged and hit LK “point blank” (as she says). RG managed to subdue MB. LK got faint from the sight of blood and realization she has been shot and passed out, but not before noticing that her dog (who “somehow” got loose) was biting MB and RG, too.
I believe that is most likely what happened^^^^
Meanwhile, LE was already on the way from LK’s 911 call. Is it possible they were on the line during the entire struggle? And it is all on tape?
And also meanwhile, an attorney friend of JK was listening to a police scanner (not uncommon among “ambulance chaser” attorneys). Friend notified JK of a possible shooting, who called 911 to try to get more information and ascertain the veracity of the call (JK no doubt knows his daughter “has problems” and was also no doubt aware her relationship with MB was spiraling out of control). And, as JenerationX pointed out, 911 would not have “given out” information about a call, but would have instead referred him to a non-emergency line.
I realize this is a hypothesis but we only have LK’s statements to go on (and her story has changed just enough over time to make one wonder what is the “real truth”). And we don’t yet know MB’s side of the story as the only comment he supposedly said to LE was “I had a good life.” But LK has been working overtime since the incident to try to convince everyone that MB had been plotting to “murder” her and RG for months. I find that reasoning incomprehensible–MB had a thriving business, he was in a stable long-term relationship, he had clients who respected him and depended on him to take care of their horses, he had professional standing in the dressage community. Why in the world would he jeopardize that “good life” to murder someone in cold-blood? And why is LK so adamant to put that accusation out there?
As for why LK was discharged from the hospital so quickly–is it possible the handgun was loaded with snake shot? And that is why it didn’t do nearly the damage that would have been done by “point blank” shots to the chest with ball ammo? (And I’m guessing she would be dead if the rounds were hollow-point–which, IIRC, is illegal in NJ). Snake shot would have caused multiple entrance wounds that would have bled like crazy but they would likely not have penetrated as deeply as ball ammo, especially if lighter snake shot loads were used.
And standard disclaimer–I am sorry she got shot.
