Seriously?
You send nasty PMs to people, and we mention it, and you post something like this? Your PMs ARE threatening, and they are clearly meant to be so. I never knew you existed until this whole mess, and I do not need to know anything further, at this point. It’s clear. Like crystal.
I laughed at the fact that one would make a guess about @cutter99’s screen name and think it is threatening… Did someone forget we are on a horse forum? Threatening is not where my brain goes first with that screen name. Unless you find very athletic horses to be threatening.
I see zero suggestion she called 911 before being shot.
She was on the phone with the ear witnesses, bang, bang, bang, 911 was called. It sounds like 911 was called from RG’s phone.
I thought RG was wrestling with MB. How was he able to call 911?
I thought in the trial scheduling, the judge predicted jury selection might take 4 days.
How long is the juror questionnaire?
Except for the fact that someone who was already in the middle of a volatile situation brought up the subject of their guns on a social media post which anyone could see. That could easily have affected the outlook of the other parties involved in the situation.
If I were in the middle of any sort of landlord/tenant dispute, and the other party suddenly started bringing up the subject of the guns they owned, regardless of the details, I would take a completely different view of the seriousness of the situation. I think most people would have the same reaction.
That’s what I thought the judge said in the online hearing last week. Jury selection would start today, with the trial to start next Monday, the 28th.
The trial and jury selection dates were announced back in December.
Taylor asked that the questionnaire be sent out last week to be returned by the end of the week so the attorneys can review them.
Of course, no doubt I will be corrected if I heard incorrectly.
The significance of her FB post saying she owns two Walthers is relevant to her continuing dispute with KM. KM posted on these threads that LK had posted on FB that LK owned a Ruger (the type of gun used in the shooting). At the time, it was known the gun used in the shooting was a Ruger, but not who the owner was.
LK thought that KMs post was defamatory, explained that she did not own a Ruger, and had never posted that she owned a Ruger. When KM refused to back down on her claim of having seen a FB post by LK on a Ruger, LK threatened to sue KM for defamation in a PM.
Apparently LK has also threatened other posters with libel suits in PMs. I’m guessing that those other posters also posted statements here on COTH that LK considers defamatory. There has certainly been a huge amount of nasty allegations made about LK on these threads, and I have no way of knowing whether the allegations are true, but LK of course would.
At this point, the issue of make of gun is irrelevant to the criminal trial, since the gun used in the shooting is now known to be have been owned and brought to NJ by Ruth Cox. But KM’s post and other posts which LK considers defamatory are relevant for any libel suits LK is threatening to bring.
It’s only people who had ongoing SM wars with LK prior to the shooting who would think to start screenshotting her FB posts as soon as they learned she’d been shot and might not survive.
I have never gotten to serve on a jury. It just seems like something where you learn on the job, and there is so much to learn. It is impressive that it all happens so well.
LK just said that she called 911, but not on her own phone. Suggests to me that RG handed her his phone while he then tackled Barisone.
So, while they are being shot at, RG paused, handed off his phone to LK, who is bleeding every where so badly that she can not dial her own phone, and then went to subdue the threat?
The post about the Walthers also said that she had not brought any guns with her to NJ because she knew that the gun laws in NJ were crazy tough; even a bullet in the car without a gun present was a serious crime.
The post said she was frightened but made absolutely clear that she did not have guns with her in NJ.
The “details” matter.
Do you know how long it is?
While I agree that usually a jury selection will take a day, or even only a few hours, with trial starting the next day. The pool assigned to the judge is for more than one case and they impanel the first qualified group, then move on to the next case while working through the pool numbers.
However in a “major” case, typically the judge here will get assigned a pool solely for that case, and the judge will have reviewed the questionnaires ahead of time, in order to start out by removing those who have conflicts, know personally any parties to the case, etc leaving the pool of potentials who can be questioned as to potential bias and challenged for cause, etc.
Wrong.
I actually started screenshots with the George Morris mess which was before the LK/Barisone mess so I was using screenshots as a way to remember developments.
Any examination of my phone will show this fact.
Also, the Walthers post was not the only gun post.
Threaten away!
LK was apparently functional for several minutes on an adrenaline rush before collapsing. I understood her to say that she was unable to open her own phone because the phone was too slick with blood, but could open a less bloody phone, which logically would be RG’s.
No, RG would not pause in subduing MB.
No.
I might be mistaken 
(again) but I think Taylor mentioned a beginning pool of 45 would be sent the questionnaire.
