We shall name this the WTF Trial.

It’s certainly testing some legal acumen not usually seen in something like this…

I feel for the jury trying to make sense of all of it when a person’s life is on the line.

I’m thinking they just won’t want to convict with this mess.

A dobie mix who bites. Go figure.

I hope Bilinkas digs into the dog issues during his defense. That dog is/was a serious problem. And they lied about it.

Whilst there’s a bit of a lull in proceedings (again), here’s good old Rosie. I guess it makes sense to call her a sleepy Dachshund cross on the stand and cast doubt on how tall she might be, but call her a jumping Doberman Shepherd cross on your Insta back in 2017 when she’s leapt onto your outdoor table. Those legs definitely aren’t Dachshund length …

Ok, if that dog weighs 20 pounds, I will eat my hat and every Easter bonnet in a hat shop.

Even the top five in the world, or whatever that phrase was?

I’d think especially them!

That would be the correct action if they have any doubt as to how this transpired or whether he attempted to kill them.

ED testimony is interesting. He did not say he heard any interaction between the parties whatsoever until he heard the shots, since the first mention she apparently made of him was “oh my God it’s MB and he’s got a gun” so…how is it possible that she was the one having words with MB before he shot her?

Her story is that she was the one who saw MB arrive and that RG was on the phone with the attorney. How is that remotely possible?

It’s not possible.

Well, he claims RG wasn’t his client and couldn’t remember him there…but RG has already testified to his being there and making a statement and there is a recording of it. So….

If RG wasn’t the actual client, but was present for the whole meeting… isn’t privilege (with respect to whatever was said during that meeting) gone now?

Not LKs privilege

@Knights_Mom

Except now she’s in Florida. Though her civil case attorneys are probably chewing fingernails right about now

I wonder if those civil attorneys are gathered around their laptops now, chewing popcorn along with their fingernails.

[soloudinhere]

Yes, her privilege. The most common way to waive privilege, accidentally or intentionally, is to have another party present who is not a client in the matter discussed.

Don’t forget the cheap plonk. J wouldn’t be drinking the good stuff if I were them.

At this point, if someone told me that she called the attorney at a different time to set up MB, I would be like I can see that.

They keep in these kernels of truth, but they don’t match up right.

This meeting has already been testified to. RG was given a transcript of this conversation and he read off his statement made….something about “this recording….haha.”

So you’re saying that unrepresented RG being there is a de facto waiver of LKs priviledge?

[soloudinhere]

Yes, there is no expectation of privacy in the case that a third party is present. Privilege would be preserved if that 3rd party was also a client in the matter being discussed. Otherwise - it’s destroyed.

Ha. And here I was giving credit to the great legal mind of JK. Shouldn’t he have known this?

That’s what I thought.

Oh to be a fly on the wall…

[Sticky_Situation]

It’s pretty strange. The lawyer’s testimony is more consistent with the old “Occam’s razor” explanation … ie MB was angry about the CPS visit or whatever, that was the proverbial last straw and he decided he’d had enough, and just grabbed the gun, went down and shot LK.

So where do all the stories from the alleged victims fit in, where they were switching off who was on the phone with the lawyer, and both of them saw/interacted with MB prior to the shots, etc.

Very weird.
