Regardless of how this trial ends, I’d say this statement goes for many, many people. Those two have left quite a collection of victims in their combined wake.
In that sense, this trial has served one purpose so far: a HUGE PSA to the horse world to avoid these two like the plague. It has now been irrefutably established under oath and in a court of law that
- they are drug users [at the very least RG currently, maybe both]
- they have multiple arrests on their records
- they lie both on SM and under oath
- they did IN FACT set out to ‘destroy’ [LK’s own words that she admitted to] MB and MHG meaning that is something they think of as normal and okay to do and will absolutely do it again
- they did illegally record their trainer and all the staff, clients, and visitors where they were boarding
- they will not behave or react as anyone would expect normal function people to [i.e., won’t leave a facility when asked]
- they will lie to gov’t/quasi gov’t agencies [SS and CPS]
- they will weaponise those agencies while lying
- they will go after anyone to achieve their ends [minors included]
- neither one has any job or any way they contribute to society [i.e., they are free all day long to amuse themselves making other people their targets]
- they will do completely unhinged things like dress in black and sneak around someone else’s property at night to satisfy their obsession to eavesdrop and spy, things normal folks couldn’t even conceive of
- they are vile and vicious in their online bullying of people like Girl Joey - like beyond all bounds of decency
And that’s just some of what we learned. We also know stuff not admitted, like threatening minors, searching for the whereabouts of a child, searching for exploding bullets, searching for CPS hotline numbers, following and filming people in public spaces and uploading the video to SM to mock them for their appearance, etc., etc. I’m sure we will learn much, much more with 48 Hours and other media coverage.
At the very least, decent people up and down the Eastern Seaboard - and beyond! - can be aware and forewarned and thus avoid any engagement at all.
No verdict will ever undo what we know about them now. No verdict will ever make any good and honest person want to deal with them. No verdict will ever mean that anyone will feel any safer being at a barn where they are, having the car unlocked around them, leaving their equipment unattended around them, or having their children around them.
So, this trial has at least resulted in a public service in putting all on notice, and that’s not nothing.
