Ooooh. Nearby high level trainer was only 15-20 minutes away. Had stalls available. Was willing to take in LK so that she could/would leave MBs facility.
Trainer is said to have won a Gold medal at PanAm games.
The point of the negotiated arrangement with JK was to avoid legal action against LK. MB and his attorney just wanted her to LEAVE.
But you have to be able to convince LE (including police, prosecutor, etc.) and jury - should it get that far - that you had a LEGITIMATE reason to believe you were in IMMINENT fear of your life. You can’t just say that your neighbor cussed at you and made vague threats because your dog peed on his lawn and then you saw him walking up your driveway one evening, so you shot him.
But apparently, LK was unwilling to go, as of early August 2019 and wouldn’t accept the negotiated agreement that this attorney and JK came up with, in order to get her to just go ahead and move all her horses…
I’m 200 posts behind, so forgive me if this has been said. I think most people do prefer to just be honest. Which is why they are rarely involved in attempted murder cases, and if they are involved their testimony is not this fascinating.
So, this attorney drafted a letter that was sent on 8/5 to JK and LK, and it provided notice that they needed to vacate MBs farm.
Apparently a copy was not sent to RG (because everyone knows he is an irrelevant mooch, so they don’t include him in any actual legal manner in these sorts of things)
I was assured, over and over again, by LE, that as a young woman, it was reasonable to believe that anyone attempting to get into the house meant me bodily harm.
If it had been a drunk frat boy at the wrong apartment door? Too bad. If he came through the door, I could shoot without fear of prosecution.
Have attitudes changed in the intervening decades re: the vulnerability of women? Don’t know.
It’s this thought process that makes no knock warrants asinine. You bet your ass I’d shoot anyone kicking in my door, no matter who they said they were.
So LK not only had multiple people offer to help her get the horses out, she had an upper level dressage trainer with stalls open that had agreed to take them? And yet she stayed?
I have zero knowledge of him. I will say, that my initial reaction is that anyone who was willing to take on LK at that time to help get her out of MBs place was doing a good thing for MB, in my opinion.
