Barisone- New Thread

[ScaredOfHorses]

@Sdel

I’ve watched it, but he has such a flimsy grasp of what was actually testified to (the bare bones of the case as he presents them are all wrong) that I can’t believe he has the spent the time on it to make an accurate assessment.

That’s typical for him. Drives me nuts. He never gets the facts of the case and only does these cases to shill his book and services

@SlamDunk

I’ve watched quite a few of his livestreams on the Barisone case. He’s been quite critical of Bilinkas and how he’s handled the case

He’s says that for every single CDA and they’ve won every case I’ve seen him comment on.

Wow. So glad you’re still here! I had a friend with short term memory loss and she couldn’t remember past 30 seconds. Yes, she was very frustrated.

I have many, many questions about the choices MB and MHG made about LK and RG. I can only make assumptions, but some of the testimony painted a picture of a man who was under great financial pressure. He thought he could handle the situation and manipulate LK/RG into leaving. That backfired badly.

@Sugarfoot1

I wanted to say about this case that I do not understand why MB did not just file eviction and let this go. I had rental properties for a good part of my life, starting at 17 and I just sold the last one when I turned 60 so I was an evil slumlord and never had to actually file eviction on anyone in all those years and I had 4 houses at once many of those years.

Yes NJ is different than Texas. In my state (not NJ) a legal eviction often takes 6 months. That said, your experience with a tenant is nothing like what happened in the Barisone case. For one thing, your tenants were not also boarding horses on your property. You did not have any unwritten agreements to “trade” for board and services. There were many, many reasons that he didn’t “just evict” her, not the least of which is that she is HER. She wouldn’t go. Period.

That was the impression I got from him. He was all about shilling his whole “5 elements of self defense” thing, and “be hard to convict!”

He was incredibly rude about Bilinkas. It was unprofessional.

[Sugarfoot1]

WOW… I could not handle that. Time to play hardball ( not with a gun) I sell the place to my neice/ brother whomever and hope that would negate any contracts and kick the Bi… out LOL LOL

It seemed pretty obvious he was just in it for the click bait, based on the title of the video, complete with the words in the quotation marks.

[ScaredOfHorses]

Yup, that’s him. He also doubles down when someone proves him wrong. 100% obnoxious.

A written lease transfers to the new landlord most of the time.

[supernatural]

Not if they aren’t going to board or have tenants

[Rowdy]

Wow. So glad you survived these accidents!

[Rhythm_Pace_Impulsion]

I’m not in NJ and I don’t know how the landlord tenant courts work there. I will say until you have encountered people like LK & RG in real life, you have no idea of the turmoil they cause intentionally. It is terrifying the depths they will go to in order to get what they consider a win. I hope you never meet anyone like this, it will change the way you protect yourself and your loved ones.

[ekat]

It does though for the duration of the lease. The new owner can give notice they’re not going to renew a lease, but the existing lease goes with the sale. New owner is generally stuck with tenant until the lease expires.

For example, the last rental property I sold, I had to disclose and transfer leases and security deposits prior to closing.

Thanks. Back at you.

Watching my kid fall off a pony for the first time? Totally sickening feeling. Thank goodness helmets are better these days. Neither of my kids drives yet. I’m not looking forward to that…

I’m a worrier.

Branca was really clear on laying out Rittenhouse. I couldn’t follow his logic for Amaud Arbery but while I saw Arbery being hunted and losing when defending himself from a self defense (meaning he got shot), Branca saw Arbery creating a self defense excuse for the shooter by grabbing the barrel of the gun. The jury saw it the way I did.

For this case, he listened to LK and RG. Then he listened to the jail mental health people and Dr Simring. I think he listened to Dr Hasson. He skipped some of the cross for those. He did not listen to Dr Schlesinger.

He was not a fan of LK and RG but really didn’t like Bilinkas. He also said he didn’t think Bilinkas had much to go on and explained why. It’s a good review of the law.

He used manslaughter instead of aggravated assault.

All he cares about is the self defense portion. That is his niche.

He can make some comments at times that I don’t find enjoyable or valuable to listen to so I don’t follow him regularly, mainly just Rittenhouse, Arbery, and now Barisone. He is very good at explaining the elements of the law.

He spends at least 30 minutes of time advertising his expertise.

[Rowdy]

Thanks. Had I ever had children, I would have been a Class A helicopter mom.

[Virginia_Horse_Mom]

Don’t look now… but I think we have all had a breakthrough on this thread.

We all agree that Branca is a bit of a self promoting blowhard. Some useful insights… but… fixated on his niche, and kind of annoying.

[Jealoushe]

Maybe that’s BOB ABOOEY

I started wearing a helmet all the time when my 8 yr old started Pony Club. I couldn’t tell her to wear one if I didnt. I have had three cracked helmets from falls so turned out to be a good decision.

[Fat_Dinah]

I think that about most commentators. I mute for s porting events because I get so tired of the “Well, when I played …”
