If a bunch of Internet randos who don’t think highly of LK each donated $1-5 or whatever, it would add up quickly, and there are a lot of those people commenting in the discussions about the trial going on elsewhere.
I’m not an attorney but I see many slippery things (just like the 250 mile radius Do Not Compete ‘as an instructor’ release out local whacko made an 18 yr old sign) on this page.
Many torts and conTORTions (see I made a funny there) of reasons to sue.
May even a fall down stairs was planned? Maybe a breach of contract? Maybe something else.
Take a looksy and use your imagination to come up with something creative and unpredictable. Outside the norm like falling off a horse.
Ok, I’m reading along, trying to think deviously, coming up with a few ideas, when I stumble upon this paragraph:
“Another source of electronic evidence can be found at social media sites and through blogs. Facebook usually provides extensive information regarding a horse’s competition history (both past, current and future), a rider’s competition history with a subject horse or another horse and, a trainer’s history involving the subject horse and other horses that may be relevant to the dispute. Moreover, social media can be used to locate the whereabouts of a party – a defendant – that a plaintiff is looking to serve.[6]”
In terms of suing the party with deep pockets, SGFs insurer probably has deeper pockets than MB or MBs liability insurer. If MB had been found guilty, his insurance would probably not pay, but given the verdict was NGI, is his liability insurance in force?
JK has deeper pockets than LK, but how has JK caused MB a loss? It sounds like JK was attempting to negotiate his daughter’s immediate move, as MB wanted.
Do I remember from the evidence in the trial that there was more than one barn on the property? If so, does anyone know if all of LK’s horses were in one barn or the other?
