Barisone Trial Starting Monday, 3/28

The lawyer on the stand said he had tried to call LK on her phone first, but when he couldn’t reach her, he called RG’s phone to try to reach her that way.

After being so friendly with Taylor when they were coming back from the break, complementing his tie, talking golf… ED is darn grumpy on the stand. Does he feel like he has leeway to be rude to defense?

“Rembember this was 4 years ago - I haven’t looked at this in 4 years.” - Wait what?

Did LK say “I’m loosing consciousness”

Whoa. Now he’s changing his statements AGAIN? About when LK claimed she was shot?

I feel he’s putting on a show for JK.

WOW. The lawyer just said the events in question happened FOUR YEARS AGO. He said it more than once. What calendar is he using??

Factual credibility right out the window for me at that moment.

I agree. This feels rehearsed. He says he can’t recall details because he was solely focused on “his client being shot.” Same as LK and RG have stated.

Well, now he’s trying to get ahead of it…all the extra words….just randomly added and unprompted….

ED - Had the impression LK was very afraid of MB

Refreshing memory with transcripts… context - LK was afraid of MB at a specific point in time. At a different moment, right before shooting, ED doesn’t think she was afraid because it was all getting resolved.

But had he let LK know he had spoken with MB’s lawyer and they were resolving things? Unclear. Maybe not.

They had a busy day on the 6th.

What he heard traumatized him, but he says it’s incorrect that this recollection was affected.

He heard shots, he heard LK say she was shot in the chest, doesn’t feel his trauma would change that memory. Maybe other little things.

So while lawyers were trying to resolve the landlord tenant dispute, and believed that they had it all worked out…

LK and RG were upping the ante, involving the local BI and FM, getting MB evicted from the whole property and fined, and local child welfare investigators had just visited the farm regarding a complaint that LK had initiated to SafeSport about MHGs child.

What a totally ridiculous and crazy situation

And playing with a rubber band…someone is nervous.

So LK feared for her physical safety from MB, but was no longer afraid that day because she had talked to a lawyer about the eviction issue? That doesn’t make much sense.

To be completely fair, I hear alll sorts of weird mixes in rescue. Animal rescue leagues say it is a mix of this and that based on their opinion. And then it sort of sticks.

Is it me, or is this guy totally flailing around on the stand?

Genuine question, since I have no experience watching this kind of thing.

I wouldn’t hire Ed as my lawyer, for sure.

Defense really does have a calmness about him.
