Yeah sorry I meant to quote MHM, whose question you were answering. I wasn’t disagreeing with you. Just clarifying that the defense generally cannot compel prosecution witnesses to talk to them before trial, unlike the prosecution who can use grand juries and subpoenas.
I’d be curious to know whom he acted out against before. Probably someone he dealt with after his Olympics run.
Also, nothing has been directly revealed about how LK came to MB to begin with, other than she seems to have approached him while in Florida. RC, who was also at the farm with MB, was living near LK when she resided in NC for those many years.
I can’t believe how many people want to excuse away these texts as OK. Imagine LK had said that?
It’s ok to say - yeah that’s not right. But I still support him. It won’t make a difference. But to pretend that it’s fine for a person to train that way, for a person to be boasting about it that way is ok, is very very sad.
I don’t know a single trainer or barn owner who hasn’t made it miserable for someone who won’t leave whom they want out. How else will you do it, other than pay money to get the out?
It happens many times a year, no one has that kind of money to spend on litigation to evict a horse and owner. You figure out a way to get them to leave.
There’s no law against being a jerk. And it sounds like she’s been somewhat protected from legal recourse by her parents financial, professional, and social positions.
Based on my extensive legal education watching Law & Order, I always thought the defense attorney could not interview the prosecution witness. Based on more knowledgeable posts above I googled and found this which iI thought was interesting.
Her harassment is not right…neither is his. Nor the way she has been harassed here.
But you excuse his. I got it.
Believe me no one has forgotten she harassed you.
