- MB asked MHG and the CPS person to leave his office.

LK did not approach MB at the stables. MB took several affirmative actions that directly resulted in attempted murder. The facts of the case presented by the responding police officers line up with LK and RG’s version of events. They do not support a scenario in which LK & RG started beating MB, which prompted MB to try to defend himself with the gun. Just sayin’.

“Charging” the jury. Meaning the instructions given to the jury about what they can and cannot consider in their deliberations.

Only because MB has no memory and could not/cannot give his version. The police simply took RGs word as to what happened and pretty much bungled a full investigation.

I see the assistant defense attorney scrolling through his phone. Wonder if he’s reading the COTH thread! Hardy har har har!

I think some of this trial should make it to this list: https://didyouknowfacts.com/tumblr-asks-itself-how-on-earth-court-reporters-can-keep-straight-faces/

Right. It will be interesting. Whoever is playing with the zoom needs to sit down.

MB looks so defeated just sitting there. Thinking about how stressful this has been for us watching for 2 weeks is nothing compared to what this poor man has been through.

I’m not going to engage in a tit for tat with a new poster…only to say the two “witnesses/victims” are now known liars, and, the MCPO bungled this case every single way it could have been bungled. The only active participant who knows the truth is Rosie the dog.
Good day to you.

Right. She’s a horror, but that does not mitigate MB’s offense.
There was a woman in Philadelphia who had a squatter roommate problem. The guy was even more horrendous than LK. She figured out a way to drive the man out of her home. She had a raucous party that included everything he hated–rap music, smoking, and drinking. The morning after the party, he attempted to kill her. That was his ticket to jail. His brother bailed him out and then he killed his brother.
I attended one of MB’s clinics as an auditor years ago. At the time I remarked to a friend that I would never pay to ride in one of his clinics because all he did was yammer on about himself, his horses, and then name drop incessantly. He may be a very talented rider and horse trainer, but I recall thinking (and even stating at the time) that he seemed very narcissistic. MB training LK was like throwing a match in a gas tank. BOOM!

I think there’s reasonable doubt all over the place with the constant lies on stand from the prosecution’s side… but who knows?

Does anyone “in charge” listen to the jury?

Yes, the client knows whether the clinician has been hired by the prosecution or the defense. And yes, someone else can be in the room—although some tests are designed to be administered privately, in this situation I would not be surprised if the attorney is present. I’ve examined many incarcerated and non-incarcerated individuals and most have been without anyone present.

Not tit for tat – following the facts presented by everyone but LK & RG where they lead.
