Barisone Trial This Month

The allegation was that the recordings observed the planning of this murder plot. And also the actual altercation.

In fact there was a Comey-esque “oh you bet there are tapes!” exclamation on these threads, and by RG at the scene of the incident

So A) they may be evidence of the plot and the altercation or B) suggest that there were falsehoods stated about same.

Well, it seems to me, that this particular recording would have captured CPS and what was said. It also seems that any and all recordings are attributed to this particular recorder….even conversations with multiple doors between the recorder and the conversation site and locations of questionable distance from the recorder.

Why would RG and JK not have to check on Lauren’s 4 horses the next day? Are you suggesting they should have trusted the care of the horses to RC, who gave MB the weapon, or to MHG who wanted LK gone…by whatever means necessary?
So explain if you will…how did “that act seem illogical to most?”
What choice did they have?

Did MB not have a capable staff of barn workers? You may believe all sorts of things about horse people, but none that I know of would not care for all horses in the barn.

Who took care of the horses when they were away at shows?

Because I have rarely if ever wasted my time with SDEL crap let me be clear about this. There are libels and actionable libels. A libel does not have to be actionable to still be libel.
SDEL’s disgusting lie that LK or RG ever threatened MHG’s children is the worst kind of libel. That NEVER HAPPENED EVER!
So if anyone has the time or inclination to talk to SDEL please let him/her/ to cut the lying crap on these pages.

C’mon, you know better. Well…to be fair…I do. By the time MB tried to kill LK and RG the staff pretty much were put in the position of choosing sides…and as employees of MB who remained employed at his pleasure is it any mystery whose side they were taking?
I understand you were not there and cannot know what LK and RG knew but there is zero chance you or any horse person would have felt comfortable leaving your horses in the care of that “staff.”
Certainly you don’t believe JK and RG left the ICU knowing they might get a call at any moment to come back because LK had died from her injuries!! They went because they knew LK’s dying wish would have been “make sure my horses are ok.”

Hey IM, how did jury selection go today?

She was just shot, in intensive care. Not the same as going to a horse show. I would want someone I trusted to check on them, as would anyone here that really loves their animals…if they are honest with themselves.
I remember someone saying here shortly after she got out of the hospital something about she hasn’t been out to see her horses as she hasn’t posted any pictures of them online, so she must not really care about them…what the heck is wrong with some of these people?

I don’t know anything about MB’s employees, but I find most people who work in daily horse care do it because they care about horses, not because they are trying to impress anyone or such. None of the people I know who do feedings/stalls/daily care would neglect a horse just because they hate the horse’s owner.

I believe LK has been saying since day 1 that MB or someone there wanted her horses, so why would they neglect them now that they were going to be able to get their hands on them?

Nope…the public was not invited. Given lingering Covid restrictions they planned to use the entire courtroom for socially distanced prospective jurors. Actually, at one point they were discussing doing the first day or two of jury selection via zoom…don’t know if that happened.

Bummer, was hoping for an update on how it went.

I think that’s generally true of most people who work in daily horse care. But, obviously, this was an extraordinary situation.

I do agree, quite extraordinary.

I agree the majority of horse care workers I know would risk their lives for the horses in their care and do in floods and fires and accident.

And yet of course no one in the horse business ever broke a leg for insurance money or sabotaged a race horse or sewn thread up the back of a horse’s leg before a show or quicked them or wacked them in the back legs to jump higher or used a battery pack to give them a shock to perform better or shorted them on feed or hay or didn’t clean the stalls or poisoned them or spooked them into a fence or hooked them up to an extension cord or painted words on them or all over, suffocating them or drugged them or broken their tail so they can’t swing it to keep flies off, or burned down a barn of a rival or for insurance money or smoked in a stall. Of course no one would do that, yet all of these things have happened and that’s just the stuff that hit the news.

Sorry, guess again. As a matter of fact go to your nearest casino and bet your house, your life and your children’s lives that no recording devices were taken by RG and LK.
As for the recording devices being illegal…we shall see. Not in the case at hand but with whatever comes after…media, USOPC, SafeSport…who knows?
As an extremely experienced criminal defense lawyer has advised LK and RG…"if you put a recording device in your locker because you were afraid…and that recording device revealed a plot to do you harm…I’ll get that dismissed in 10 minutes! And if the plot to do you harm actually took place…I’ll get that dismissed in 5 minutes.

How wonderful and gracious that the woman who was so afraid she slept outside her horse’s stall and allegedly brought the weapon used in the altercation, stepped up and told you or RG that she would take care of the horses. How trusting of you.
