Barisone Trial Starting Monday, 3/28

Ugh, I just checked Paradigm’s FB. There’s a video of a party, roasting marshmallows etc. There’s good ol’ Rob roasting a wienie. Wonder if he’s staying there too, you know, in exchange for carpentry or whatever.

It was part of the testimony. The ear witness called her to tell her of the progress of the terms. She had yet to hear the terms or agree to them before she was shot.

I explained it above. LK and RG were forced to appear when NJ asked FL for help getting them there.

It happens but is not normal.

Usually it’s for just a witness, not a witness who is the victim(s).

I know why I think they didn’t want to come but everyone should form their own thoughts.

At 2:40:40, Mr Bilinkis asks if he knew the difference between right and wrong, and Dr. Simring’s response is “At the time of the incident, No. He thought he was defending himself.”

I’m stuck on the Felonys.
I thought Felonys meant no guns?

So it’s abnormal for NJ to ask for help? Or is that just a procedural thing? Sorry - I’m a little dense . :upside_down_face:

What I don’t understand is that the address listed for LK on the document associated with that PBC court date is the address of a home purchased by MHG and someone else in 2020.

Thanks… not that far along in the trial yet. I’ll listen for that when he’s on.

Sometimes posts are just too good to ignore.

“War witness”??

No.

Misdemeanor is any offense in which the sentence is less than one year.

Felony is any offense in which the sentence is one year or more.

The palm beach order was from Judge Taylor in NJ to PBC, asking them to compell LK and RG to come to NJ for the trial, as they were material witnesses in the case about MB. The Palm beach hearing was to determine why they shouldn’t compell them to go to NJ. I presume LK and RG had an attorney who insisted they argue why they should be made to go. Either that or they on themselves challenged the subpoena. Why they would inisist on a hearing about it, who knows, unless PBC automatically has a hearing about any out of state subpoena as a matter of due course in some way.

For example, maybe having a hearing by PBC about it is Palm Beache’s way of serving the subpoena and making sure they go and making sure they are officially compelled to go, rather than just sending a certified letter, lol.

Like I said a few posts ago. I can’t keep up! LOL

Thinking you’re defending yourself isn’t the same as not knowing right from wrong though, which is why I’d say that goes more towards imperfect self defence than insanity. Thinking you are defending yourself still means you know you have a gun and you know you’re shooting someone. It may be a mitigating factor but it doesn’t meet the legal definition of not guilty because of insanity

Like this person does for example

So how does that work on a practical level?

Did some poor law enforcement officer have to drag them up Route 95 in the back of a minivan? Or was it just the threat of being thrown in jail to make sure they appeared on their own?

Now THAT is weird. My ears are smoking considering the possibilities and I assure you, none are good.

I was responding to you saying the expert dodged the question of knowing right from wrong. He very clearly stated No, when asked the question.

Nonsense. Listen to the ear witness again. He called to tell her of progress on the agreement for her to move out. She hadn’t heard or agreed before MB showed up and shot her.

Wait. Is that address the address of her new house? Did LK buy a house previously owned by MHG? Don’t want to start rumors, I’m asking, because one would think they were served where they live, and either they live at the apartment at Paradigm, or her new house in Loxahatchee?

Strange though that JH and MHG didn’t have to be compelled!

I imagine their attorney told then to go. If they didn’t they could be held in contempt of court (possible jail and/or fine) and a deputy or cop or sheriff will place them on a plane OR NJ could send detectives from their DAs office to escort them to NJ.
