I think it’s a little unique in this case because of COVID delays. I’m guessing that pre-COVID, defendants typically didn’t wait so long to get to trial.
And I could be wrong, but wasn’t the judge going to release him but he chose to stay in?
I seem to remember LK’s account of how many times she was shot changing a number of times in her social media rants following the shooting. It’s entirely possible, and understandable, that she may not have even remembered how many times she was shot, but why not pick a number and stick with it?
You seem to be saying that BECAUSE MB lost his mind while the DCPP investigator was on the property and shot LK…
LKs prior SafeSport complaint about MB was thereby “verified” and validated?
Are you a SafeSport investigator? Do you know what the content of that complaint was? Did LK call in and say, “I think MB is going to shoot someone?”
Apparently… LK actually called SafeSport to discuss concerns about MHGs children. THAT’S why DCPP was immediately called. That’s why the first person the DCPP investigator spoke with was the custodial parent of the minors who were the subject of the complaint.
We still don’t know what was alleged as part of LKs complaint to SafeSport. Do we? But… we do know that MB has never been charged with any wrongdoing related to those children. We do know that MHG testified on the stand that MB loved those children. We do know that MHG still has custodial rights.
Soooo tell me again how LKs prior complaint to SafeSport about MB and MHG was validated by the events of 08/07?
As for any calls MB and MHG made to USEF/USDF… how did LK even know calls were made? She would have had to have known that to have engaged in “tit for tat.” She would have had to have known that MHG had had a private investigator compiled a 700 page report on LK and sent it in to SafeSport.
And was that report unverified dirt? Or was it an actual background check detailing LKs lengthy legal history, with respect to restraining order, assault charges, cyberstalking complaints, etc etc etc …?
But back to how LK would have known MB and MHG were making complaints against her with USDF/USEF and SafeSport in the early days of August… the only way LK knew about that would have been from one of her own illegal recording devices, which she and RG planted on MBs property…
Who plants illegal recording devices on their trainer’s property?
A seriously troubled person with a long history of stalking and harassment. That’s who.
Which is why MB and MHG were reporting her to SafeSport…
I find it curious that her father, who helped arrange all of this (and is an attorney), didn’t insist on a contract. The contract is designed to protect BOTH parties. Why wouldn’t he have insisted on one? As a boarder, I always have (and have referenced it multiple times when issues have arisen).
Do we truly even know that there was no contract? Or… was there a contract involving full training board for exactly TWO horses, and room and board for LK?
Perhaps this whole “RG will barter work in exchange for board for more horses” was the only part of the situation NOT covered by a contract.
If JK left RG out of any and all legal agreements involving JK’s daughter? Well… that would be consistent with JK’s actions when negotiating with Steven Tarshis, and with the fact that JK told Ed David that David was ONLY to represent LK in the whole tennant dispute situation.
No proof as to any illegal recording devices. People claiming their private conversations were taped could have confided in a trusted friend who confused in a trusted friend until it was told to a trusted friend of LK. There are not secrets or confidential conversations in a barn. There is always someone stirring up trouble, running back and forth telling tales.
Was it an invisible boarder sitting on the imaginary bench that LK and RG both claimed was in front of the lockers? Even though nobody else who was there at the time ever saw a bench there?
Agree. OR, if you can’t remember what happened, which seems to be the case since her story has changed so much - she even thought was evacuated by air after the shooting - why not be a decent human being and admit it?
Oh, that’s right, it doesn’t align with her agenda.
I really liked that in the defense’s closing statement, he pointed out that MB’s amnesia does NOTHING to help his case. Which is why I believe the amnesia is real.
