Barisone Trial Starting Monday, 3/28

@trubandloki

Lots of things these people have done have not made sense.
Step back to the fact that she was offered an easy out and chose to stay.
Killing MB would not have tortured him enough.

Ay yi yi.

@MHM

At that point, wouldn’t it have been easier to just shoot the unconscious MB? Rather than LK?

I’m just really having trouble with the concept that anyone would be crazy enough to shoot themselves or their partner in such a scheme. I’m not saying it’s impossible, just very highly unlikely.

Yeah, but then all the trouble with why’d ya shoot the guy, why’d you have the gun. If he stupidly thought a shoulder wound was easy to survive, he might have thought it was a good idea, drugs and all, to do it to frame MB. The point is, no one can say that didn’t happen, too many possiblities making a scenario of doubt.

Just an aside, @MHM. This morning I started the live feed on the LawandCrime site, paused it when I went out for about 2 hours and when I came back just woke up the screen and pressed “play” and off it went—I didn’t miss a thing and I could FF through the dreaded sidebars and breaks. This was on a Windows laptop.

Yes, I still have one of those—running Windows 7 of all things—but I only use it to stream stuff like this trial.

Thanks!!

I think that applies to pretty much every possible scenario once you establish that there are no reliable witnesses. And not much definitive forensic evidence, courtesy of the local police department.

The fact that she was shot on her left side suggests a right handed shooter, if they were facing each other.

from what I gather, the doctors had to cut LK wide open, stem to stern, in order to get to the bleeders.

But where are the scars?

No scars but 2 small bullet holes are on her front torso that I can see.

If they went in on her side then they may be doing keyhole surgery.

I had one done so I know EXACTLY where the scars are. And it’s not that dramatic compared to say open heart surgery unless they didn’t do keyhole surgery.

For me they took the left lung, chopped it in half, shoved it back in - the healthy half.

I hate a 4 inch incision with these other things.

@MHM

But if that had happened, wouldn’t they have found fragments in her? Or multiple exit wounds from the fragments? I thought they said they never recovered any part of the bullets.

I do know a bullet can fragment without causing an additional exit point. Some ammunition is just designed to bounced around inside the body cavity which causes more damage. But you are right, they should have found a fragment on x-ray.

@Knights_Mom

But where are the scars?

I saw a linear scar around her left torso - think in the shape of half a waistband of a pants, only around the left torso, from the mid-side around her back. There were lower scars under her naval, still on the left side ,for drains. That’s in the photo of her showing her torso and shoulder.

By the time this trial is over, we are all going to be ready to take both the bar and the medical boards.

But isn’t MB left handed??

[MHM]

@iberianfan

But isn’t MB left handed??

I thought the same thing.

[Warmblood1]

I honestly think LK loves herself too much to shoot her self. I do think they beat the hell out of MB and he shot her in self defense.

I also think the dog has something profound to do with the case because it is continually brought up by defense. Maybe why MB was armed in the first place, they saw he had a gun and thought he was trying to kill them, attacked MB and he shot in self defense.

[Warmblood1]

@iberianfan

But isn’t MB left handed??

I brought that up too at some point but in retrospect, a lot of dominantly left handed people still shoot right handed. But I do wonder.

[Warmblood1]

Does anyone still have the pic of LK’s torso that was posted previously?

[Ambitious_Kate]

Okay, enough of this, time for My Cousin Vinny. See yous mugs later.

[Knights_Mom]

I still say it happened as a result of a physical altercation. Either self defense or accidental discharge.

[RegentLion]

I can’t get behind the RG shot LK or LK shot herself theories.

I also wonder about the defense constantly bringing up the dog and how aggressively the prosecution shuts that down.

That’s a real possiblity

[RegentLion]

@Ambitious_Kate

The other more realistic possiblity is that they were beating up MB when the ED guy called, and that’s why she didn’t answer, then RG’s phone rings, he gets up momentarily to answer, hands her the phone, MB grabs the gun and shoots her, or RB has the gun and comes back after handing her the phone, and MB wrestles and the gun goes off and shoots her as she’s talking on RB’s phone. That might explain why she didn’t answer her phone, because she had been beating MB with it.

Until I read this I figured the ear witness eliminated the possibility of LK and RG beating up MB before he shot.

But why would you stop beating someone to answer your phone?
