Barisone Verdict Is In: Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity

I went back and watched most of dr. moustache’s testimony. It was very funny watching Attorney B. just sitting there, watching the guy throughout that initial 26 minutes, sometimes looking as if “is this guy for real?” Schellhorn was probably saying to himself “why aren’t you saying anything?” or was it a matter of waiting until Attorney B. says that he accepts stache as an expert witness, in which case it was brilliant to let stache go on, and on, and on …

Absolutely. Just let him sing his song. The words he knows, the tune he hums. Ramble on! That was classically brilliant of Mr. B.

I wish people would appreciate all the little clever things Bilinkas did.

Be nice to have a little write up of them. Dang the guy was subtle. He must have learned through life just to let peope show themselves for who they really are. ask a few strategic questions, and then let them answer, and just listen.

I’m thinking I’d miss a bunch if I tried.

Dramatic pauses giving the jury a moment to reflect.
Letting Mustache ramble on
Initial attorney dress and almost bumbling nature disarming the jury.
Pushing facts into the ears of jurors even if it’s objected to and jurors told to ignore its like trying to unring a bell
Securing the best docs right from the get go, especially one the Prosecution has used for other cases
Predicting how Judge Taylor would come off as prejudicial and weaponizing it
Knowing when to press and knowing when to allow rambling
The orchestration of drama as if conducting a symphony leading to the crescendo of the closing argument.

Securing the best expert witness the prosecution had available. snag.

LK, or someone purporting to be her, was sending copies of this letter to utterly random people in the dressage world, some of whom I know, who were baffled as to why they’d been sent it. The “letter from jail” sure as hell wasn’t a secret. LK, or the person purporting to be her, appeared to be circulating it to gloat about what a horrible situation MB was now in.

Just when I thought my opinion of LK and her crew could go no lower. Sweet fancy Moses, there is no low too low for this crowd, huh? Utterly morally bankrupt in every way imaginable.

I imagine their doing this significantly damaged their reputation in the dressage community even before the poop show they put on in the courtroom.

Who does that?!!

LK, that’s who. Could be a T-shirt.

[FitzE]

They sent that letter out cold to random people? What the heckin’ heck?

These people are disturbed and way WAY outside anything anyone might consider within the norms of civil respectable society.

That is sick.

Yep. It was sent to people I know that DO NOT know her or any of her family, they couldn’t understand why it had been sent to them at all. It was a random message from a stranger (LK or someone purporting to be her) in the cases I know about.

[FitzE]

Just the letter, no explanation? Or was it accompanied by Manifesto 8, or whatever number she was up to at that point?

I mean, I don’t even know how to process this. No wonder the general tone you see in comments to articles, etc. is a big cold shoulder to this ship of fools.

[Ambitious_Kate]

The one witness with no concept of time. OMG. How could he conflate two years into four? Oh, because when you count on your fingers, two-thousand 19, 20, 21, and then 22, those are four fingers right there.

I can’t say how or what it was sent with, as it wasn’t sent to me, but the letter was definitely sent to strangers. She also FB posted about it, laughing with her friends about how MB wanted a “tablet” or words to that effect. That post was deleted.

Didn’t someone here once note, “Gross people are gross.”

I just can’t with these people.

For sure!

I especially appreciated his Olympic equestrian themed tie, which was very much on point.

The tie was awesome.

We all should be so lucky as to have people like him, Phillip Dutton, Hay Guy, Barefoot Farrier (not the ninja) Jamie Dancer, Ali Brock in our corner.

Honestly, as great as all those people were, I was almost as impressed by how much the prosecution witnesses helped him. I mean, other than JH, who seems to still have some business dealings with MB, a couple of the others were surprisingly on his side from the sound of things. Or at least, I’ll bet the prosecutor was surprised.

I can imagine him sitting there listening to them sing MB’s praises and thinking to himself, “I paid their plane fare for this?!?“ Lol.

Oh, he got his moneys worth, all right—he got to ask them about their separate barn fires and how many horses they lost!

I don’t recall the subject ever coming up again, though, so maybe not!

I can’t get past the fact the tenants had the guys email that he checked late at night for their video of the repairs. That is so highly irregular. Inspections are done 9 to 5 pm during weekdays PERIOD. You don’t get the inspectors cell number either. You call a main number.

It’s so irregular it’s fishy.

Agree. I remember thinking Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot when I heard that. Like, how the h*** did they have the FM’s cellphone #? Did they run in the same social circles? Did they hang out together?

[BigMama1]

Daddy’s “connections” came in handy again?

@ekat

It was the fire detectors,that LK said MB disabled, which seems dubious. She sent pics to the inspector that RG had fixed them so inspector dude said cool, but didn’t bother to advise MB.

I missed most of the inspector’s testimony so I don’t know if that came up during his testimony, but I wondered some pages back if there was verification that the photos were “new”?

Oops, I see MHM has also asked this question. (I’m still trying to catch up on overnight postings.)

@ekat

…I also know here in my city, the police escort you off the property until the owner (not the butler/boyfriend/groom/tenant) completed repairs and an inspector re-inspected and signed off on paperwork for owner to show cops that re-entry was authorized. It’s very mystifying.

Given RG’s belief that they were on THEIR OWN PROPERTY, I wonder if they led the inspector to believe that.
