Barisone Pleads Not Guilty

[GreenWithEnvy]

LK seems to become fixated on certain people for whatever reason…Hayleybot, Girl Joey, some trainer in NC she brings up frequently, MB, MH, JI, LS, SW, basically anyone who disagrees with her or has something she wants. For sure she has a grand imagination.

I sincerely wish her well and wish she could focus on healing and her horses and move on as much as possible until the trial and stay off SM to stop feeding the barracuda (myself included). She has nothing to prove to anyone other than herself IMO.

I’ll be interested to see what the recordings if they’re admitted say, and how MB’s attorney attempts to spin that if he was flat out plotting murder. It’s going to be interesting if we get to see this play out.

It will also be interesting to see if MB has recordings of LK.

That would be interesting!

Has anyone seen the alleged “cat crap” photo? Until I see it I find it hard to believe. Were the private areas of MH/MB and the kids open for anyone to go through I wonder? It would seem to me their bedrooms would be private for sure. Who knows, this entire situation doesn’t cease to amaze if you tend to believe everything.

71 pages? I only see 37. Have I missed some?

It’s configurable.

I know this is going to get me tarred and feathered by several posters as victim shaming, but I just don’t care at this point.

Lauren - no matter how much you try to spin it, you played a role in the events that preceded the shooting. You were not a completely benign, innocent bystander that got caught in the crossfire. You gloated prior to the shooting about collecting “career-ending” information on someone. Your actions, intended or not, got CPS involved. These are not the actions of someone who “does not enjoy drama”. Someone who does not enjoy drama would say “This is no longer working for me. I am the paying client, and I am going to find a situation that will work better for me”. And then do just that. Not spend weeks collecting information with the intention of destroying the careers of everyone at the barn.

While several of us have pointed out that someone who was the traveling alternate for an Olympic games and the trainer of a Olympic medalist is, in fact a BNT, there are plenty more BNTs out there that would have been happy to take on your string of fancy horses. Riders change trainers all the time. It is not career-ending.

If somewhere in these multiple long threads, you’d have just said “Yeah, maybe I could’ve handled some of the preceding events better” we’d still all think there was NO excuse for MB shooting you, but many of us might have more sympathy for you. Like it or not, you do carry some of the blame for the relationship having gone sour. Though certainly not for him having chosen to shoot you. You have NOT ONCE admitted that MAYBE you could’ve done SOME things differently, and MAYBE the outcome would have been different.

My view, for what it’s worth…

LK clearly played a role in the unravelling of her relationship with MB. Whatever it was that a happened, both she and he bear some responsibility - and likely there are other people involved.

That still doesn’t mean she played a role in getting shot. Getting shot is not a reasonable or predictable outcome of an ongoing dispute with someone, even a nasty one.

The SHOOTING did come out of the blue. The dispute did not.

Yep. I wonder what she expected the outcome to be?

@YankeeDuchess

The accusation is that she called in a FALSE allegation of child abuse against MB to deliberately harass him.

G
I can’t see if GEe said this or GWE. Either way, that’s a pretty dumb theory. Who TH calls CPS & gets children involved
as an “harassment,×´ tactic. Or any tactic other than protecting children? I’d bet more people who witness child abuse say nothing & don’t get involved than people who do see it & actually call protection services. To do something like that as “harassment,” ?? That’s just dumb.

I suspect many of us would agree with you that would be considered dumb and probably harassment.

It’s not uncommon in acrimoneous

@GreenWithEnvy

My guess is that she expected their dispute would get settled in court, and that she would prevail, and that a month or two down the road she would move to a different trainer.

As@BigMama1
said, she was probably NOT expecting to get shot, given that getting shot is not a probable or predictable consequence of being in a nasty dispute with your trainer.

When you agreed with her post (“yep”) did you read the post enough to realize she was saying pretty much the opposite of what you have been saying?

[Dragonfly90]

@GreenWithEnvy

How often have others referenced previous posts and found them to seem to have been edited or even deleted? In addition, several times it has been said there are posters here “protecting and supporting” MB and are saving posts for his defense. IDK, but LK sure seems to quote quite a few. I guess that’s okay for her but not for others.

Quoting I understand when you are replying to a comment. I personally don’t care if someone edits or corrects something later. If people want to QFP everything LK writes here, I could care less, I just find it annoying.
For a while, before someone explained,
I thought it meant “Quit Fxxking posting!”

As CPS reports are entirely anonymous, plenty of people do it to harass others.

[Angela_Freda]

Maybe we should stop telling others how to post and just worry about our own selves?

[La-LaPopRider]

@Mersidoats

I think others feel differently because CPS is one of those governmental departments that operates with secrecy and relative lack of due process. Almost 80% of the reports end up being unsubstantiated, and a huge waste of time and resources. The accusers can remain anonymous (which is different than confidential) and continue to call in reports and troll someone, essentially weaponizing CPS against an enemy. There is no cost to the accuser, and the accused has to spend time and money kow-towing to a government organization that measures your parenting according to impossible standards. The accused ends up on a secret CPS list, and could be subjected to random visits from social workers.

True abuse should be investigated. Things like letting your kids play outside unsupervised (true story), or if you witness a parent discipline their child (my flame suit is on) do not deserve CPS attention.

Unfortunately, we may never be able to know with certainty if CPS made a visit to the farm because those records are sealed and only available to those involved within the case. They are not available as public records or through a FOIA request. Only a court order can get them unsealed.

Incorrect. Police, judges & DA’s can easily retrieve this information. Especially, in a court order which involves or pertains to circumstances in an attempted murder trial. But nice try on attempting to mislead.

@NEEDS A NAP

The victim has been hinting, hinting, hinting that there is so much more to this story, and that the true facts will come out in the trial. If this is the bombshell, it is certainly not what I expected.

I feel like this is kinda par for the course. Actually, not a whole lot is a surprise anymore.

[La-LaPopRider]

@Bogey2

I’m sorry but your story does not equate at all to what happened with LK and MB. If you are using it for comparison YOU really need to read what LK writes. Go wayyy back and see how threatening she was in her own words.

I wasn’t threatening in any of my words. What does “go wayyyyy back,” even mean? Just a gaslighting method so you don’t have to specifically point out your example of my alleged “threats.”
FTR- I don’t consider telling anyone to “leave me alone,” “find another hobby,” or anything along those lines to be “threatening.” Also- you seem to be implying YD’s story is meaningless, while making sure to embellish the importance of OTHER posters’ experiences. A bit one sided- don’t you think?
