Barisone Trial Starting Monday, 3/28

Kinda sad that MB had been calling 911 repeatedly all week, begging for support from the local police for the township in dealing with RG and LK… and he got little…

But the second complaints were made about code violations… they (the township) had the building inspectors and fire marshal out within 24 hours, and were all about issuing violations and fines

Really horrible look on the part of local government. All about collecting fines. Not sincere in terms of caring about public safety issues of local residents

I think my bigger point is that she had alot of blood on her hands ?? but very little on her wound, per testimony, such that blood from her wound would be covering her hands in a large quantity.
I’m sure its a small point.

If there was only one camera on the outside of the house and it was pointed at the back porch, I believe it would have been pointed away from the driveway, based on the diagram of the crime scene.

I think it’s a good point. There is more doubt involved in LKs testimony

Basement of farmhouse - it was checked for violations - if anyone was living there, open wiring. There was nobody living there when they were there.

The rest of the house was checked. Based on inspection, they issued violations.

  • imminent hazard for house (and barn)
  • House had 0 hardwired smoke alarms
  • open wiring throughout
  • open construction on first and second floor (ceiling was missing)

What are the consequences for violations? They must fix violations. Imminent hazard - NOBODY IS TO GO BACK INTO THE PROPERTY UNTIL HAZARD IS FIXED

Building had postings on it to this effect.

What does this violation say are the consequence to those that ignore and go and reside in the residence? up to $5000 fine.

Owner was Sweetgrass Farm (MB’s company)

This part is the Townships fault. By me if the Fire Marshal evicts it is immediate and non debatable. You are to leave immediately. The police will be called to force compliance.

The courts do not touch this. You get out NOW.

That should have been done.

BTW I had posted 2 years ago the Fire Dept eviction is immediate. Certain posters told me I was wrong and they were permitted on their floor.

So much for fixing up the wiring and being told they could stay….

well, seeing that she was severily injured, I can give a pass for that.
Although it is a bad thing for the prosecution.

Apparently RG and LK are above fire marshal declarations as well.

Yeah. Why didn’t the police force RG and LK out of the house on 08/6?

Hmmm… add this to the picture with respect to that lawsuit against the local police? The lawsuit that MB might be able to raise again?

When I lived near Columbus, GA, it took at least two years from arrest to trial. The shortest time from arrest to trial was one year, when I lived other places.

How much do you want to bet that RG was the cause of all the violations!

If they had left, based on the fire violation, maybe this wouldn’t have happened

After this he goes to stable area and hand delivered similar violation to MB.

Based on inspection, nobody was allowed to stay in stable until violations are fixed.

Postings on door - one on Left is his, doesn’t know what the one in the middle is.

Purpose of posting on building is so that anyone that goes up to door knows that there is an imminent hazard.

Letter for temporary housing that the town had asked to post. Was posted on the door.

I think it’s a good point. It’s just not practically resolvable by forensic testing, hence my reply to this question of yours:

I don’t think that’s up for dispute really. Other than at some point LK had said it was MB that pulled out the alarms.

To be clear. LK/RG called the fire department to get themselves evicted from the house they were refusing to leave? Is this a triple level supremo chess move /s or impulsive stupid not thinking consequences? Or maybe they had been advised by their lawyer that eviction was inevitable and they were just going to cause as much mischief as possible on the way out.

Can someone tell me how all these violation witnesses have anything to do with the charges?

I’ve had tenants call the court to complain after a Fire Marshal eviction that the landlord was taking too long to fix the place. A landlord may do this to keep the nuisance tenant from returning until that tenant is tired of waiting and settles elsewhere.

Then I’d say sorry the court has nothing to do with these. There is no appeal.

Didn’t they write the complaint about the BARN and the dryer? My guess is they 100% didn’t expect the Inspector to pop by the house…
