Anyone know what happened?

Now we’re just back to the seal. Here’s the Wikipedia page about the elements of the coat of arms if you are bored… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_and_flag_of_New_Jersey

Interesting, thanks.

I noticed that the two people in the seal have names, but the horse does not seem to have a name.

I wonder what his name should be?

whats your user name?

I think the jury should watch Boyd Martin again, just to be safe.

If anyone wants to rewatch Dr. Simring, he appeared on day 8, and the video that contains his direct testimony has about 20 minutes of Boyd Martin testifying first.

Now we know why the jury wants to go back over that section

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.

Exactly!! Because of MB’s inability to recall anything prevented the defense from entering all sorts of evidence because he couldn’t testify about it.

His amnesia, whether real or feigned, applied to a period of a few hours. He could perfectly well have testified on the events of the preceding week, the financial arrangements, his state of mind, everything.

He chose not to testify because it would have opened him up to cross examination.

I am not getting why the LK fangirl side seems to want to say that MB is lying about not remembering. There was a great post earlier in this thread about this very subject, the short version of which is, remembering would have worked far better for him. Why in the world do you (general people who are insisting he is lying about that) feel he is saying he does not remember otherwise?

Remembering would have been better for him if what actually happened was something other than he attempted to murder two people.

I believe the state’s case. If that is what happened, it is not to his advantage to remember it.

[Rhythm_Pace_Impulsion]

The tag shows 5 comments but only 3 come up for me

[anon6923113]

I can’t see yours, but it might be a privacy setting thing?

There is a REALLY FUNNY comment from someone though, asking “Bob” if his ears were burning, and if his nose had stopped growing yet.

Yes! This is still what perplexes me:

1. Why did he let this woman onto his property in the first place instead of saying, “find a house or apartment to rent nearby”?
2. Why he couldn’t evict her after such a long period of time? Was it the lack of contract and bartering arrangement?
3. Why he didn’t hire a lawyer to act more aggressively? I know the suit he brought was thrown out, but I don’t understand why.

I’m not blaming him, because I really don’t know, and while I can understand getting sucked into taking her on as a client for a few months, by all accounts she was so difficult, I can’t believe she wasn’t fired as a client long before it came to this. She isn’t the only rich person who rides dressage and he must have been able to find someone to replace her easily.

I want to note this doesn’t pertain to the night in question, but to all of the events that resulted in the spiraling to the night in question.

The one thing I am sure of is the credibility and sincerity of the equestrians who testified to his character, so I am perplexed he didn’t have more personal and legal resources to get her out of his life. (Again, I can’t say that he did, definitely, it’s just these aspects of the story are opaque to me, despite the length of this thread.)

To be fair, dressage is hard and lots of us have no natural talent for it whatsoever. Also to be fair a “made horse” does not necessarily equate to easy for an amateur to ride well.

Nuh-uh.

NP claims that schoolmasters are easy-peasy and that it is cheating to get your dressage levels on one or show. Proof positive that he has never ridden a high-level schoolmaster!

I had the amazing opportunity to ride a Prix St. Georges schoolmaster of a Trakehner mare for a while - many years ago now. She taught me so much… I struggled to ride to her standards - but if and when I did manage to find the right button, sat balanced and fluid through every part of me from heels to hands, and applied the right aid at the right moment in the right amount (with great coaching from my instructor), She showed me how it felt to ride a canter pirouette or do one-tempi changes across the diagonal, light in the bridle, balanced and happy. If I was not up to her select standards for a ride, She let me know it…simply by reverting to being an opinionated WTC lesson pony who apparently had no idea of what a shoulder-in was. Because She was feeling that I obviously did not know what one was that day…

Plus, there was that lack of natural talent to consider. On my part!

She was incredible. And contrary to what NP says… far from an easy, push button ride. Very far. I am still grateful for those times when we clicked…
