Barisone Verdict Is In: Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity

Just going to leave these here. A very small sampling of comments from random Law&Crime Channel Trial watchers. These are comments posted on Day 3 after watching LK on the stand. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess these people came to their conclusions all on their own by watching her in action.

“Had Ms. Kanarek left when she was asked to leave the property, this entire event would have very likely been avoided. Very unfortunate decision.”

“ She stayed likely because she wanted to ruin him in the sport’s eyes. She said so herself she had it in for him and the gf. She played with fire and got burned. She survived thank goodness but has she learned her lesson is the big question. Don’t push people to their breaking points as this is what could happen or someone could kill you for your actions. She seems proud of her actions too :(.”

“ Barisone was attacked and beaten by Godwin and Kanarek, severely, and seemingly used his pistol to defend himself as the absolute last resort.

There was no reason for him to take the beating first and then produce his firearm if he intended to kill either Godwin or Kanarek ahead of time, he could have just opened fire before they had a chance to do anything pre-beating.

Kanarek and Godwin clearly went out of their way to interfere with and harass Barisone, both on social media and in their everyday lives. They made a concerted effort, together, to drive Barisone crazy and push him over the edge.

Barisone seems like a broken man, that body language isn’t an act. That is genuine trauma manifesting itself openly in an almost involuntary manner. ”

“ There should be some kind of jail time just for her being so Thoroughly annoying.
What a cringeworthy person.”

“ Not guilty. She could have left anytime…she didnt, she continued to taunt…I dont even think he needs to be insane…I think a normal person can only take so much on their property, their home, their livlihood…”

“ She’s a very poor and unbelievable witness. Her me-first attitude shines through the testimony.”

“ She is a very bad actress. Don’t believe a word of her “story”.”

I finally implemented the ignore feature. As a result, I think my blood pressure remains lower when reading these threads.

And, because the comments are what they are, I was reading a few more, and, lo and behold, look who was posting an hour ago. (I’m sure someone will think I was stalking, but nope):

“At one point I made a terrible decision to try heroin’ Hmm seems like more than one point in the past Suboxone isn’t for one time users”

I said the same thing. She’s lying about it and the prosecutor knows it.

FYI- the prosecutor has my entire medical history. Which means the defense did too. Notice the defense did not go there AT ALL on cross. Drug use regarding me, wasn’t mentioned once by the defense attorney. That would have gone badly for him.

Her sworn testimony was that her riding goal is to ride at the “very highest level of the sport”. Ain’t gonna happen. Ever. It was never going to happen.

And we believe her? Since when?

Well, not even the YouTubers believe her. I just thought it’s funny, that in true LK fashion, she’s replying to month-old comments today.

Generally I agree, however the misconstruing of so many things deserves to be called out. Most trolls shouldn’t get oxygen, but sometimes letting someone spew mistruths and contort facts leads others to doubt and question - or to stand idly by. And it’s clear that LK’s being able to continue her abhorrent behavior without consequence directly led to the events we are discussing. So CH shouldn’t be allowed to further a false narrative IMHO. I scroll by CH and HHH’s posts when they are nonsensical, but when they could to the uninitiated sound plausible? Nope.

Is there anywhere one could watch? :slight_smile:

Unreal. Her character, however bad, was not on trial so the defense could not go into her drug history. Would have been objected to. But she will just spin her twisted spiderweb of falsehoods.

Im so over this woman. I hope she faces some type of consequences in her life. Clearly being shot wasn’t consequence enough to dial her down.

The funniest part of that post in hindsight is IM’s claim that there would be a slew of people lining up to testify against MB. Well, there were plenty of people lining up to testify. That much was true. They were just testifying on MB’s behalf. Including pretty much a whole team of Olympic riders.

And IM did seem to be doing a little preemptive what aboutism there by claiming that there would be witnesses who would say negative things “on both sides,” to use a horrible phrase that still makes my skin crawl five years later.

Nice try.

LOL - was so fixated on the alleged quote that I didn’t catch that! Good point!

When my lung collapsed in my riding accident in February, it was pretty much immediate. I knew because I could not breath and my lips were turning blue. It did not take seven minutes.

Speaking of the Olympians who took the stand… Also wanted to add that although I know who Boyd Martin is and have read plenty of articles about him, because I only peripherally pay attention to eventers (and dressage riders, for that matter!), I never realized how dreamy he is until this trial. Wow. Just wow. I was missing out!

Yes, it was ironic that the prosecution witnesses actually helped the defense more than they helped the State!

I do the same thing sometimes. I just don’t bother to waste any additional time or energy beyond that point.

I hear you - but the former (more so than the latter) can sometimes gaslight so hard that they sound almost credible. It irks me!

Just like the overreaction (immediate objections) during the trial every time Mr. B tried to bring Rosie into the equation. It definitely made me think she was the key to the whole incident.
