Barisone Verdict Is In: Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity

But I think her suit against them faults SGF for allowing the RC gun on the property.

It’s called second amendment rights. They have a choice to limit guns, not a requirement. And it’s not their responsibility to police anyone else’s gun behavior. Until his break, MB and RC engaged in the correct legally compliant actions on how to store the weapon.

@ekat

It is not the proximate cause of plaintiff’s injury. She didn’t trip on a wet floor, get hit in the head by a piece of drywall or anything. She chose to live there in the state it was in so she can hardly claim it caused any distress. She can’t claim money for RG’s repairs because she’s not RG, the unlicensed contractor. It’s kind of irrelevant to her claims.

According to IM, SGF has already stated in writing that RG is owed money for renovations. I’m betting SGF, or their insurance company, would love to get the civil suit settled.

[ekat]

That’s very true. And ED made it very clear that he did not represent RG. RG’s presence in that meeting kills confidentiality. So, yet another mess,

Why do you believe IM has actual information about this?

@ekat

ED called himself her former lawyer on Court TV this morning, which says something. I’m not sure entirely what though.

Well, he’s hardly needed to finish the negotiations for her leaving Hawthorne Hill!

@ekat

Theoretically if they could prove that he didn’t winterize the house properly, etc. But if he was just a leaseholder, and they are the owner, they had some duty to mitigate their losses as well. And it’s all odd to me because he was a partner in SGF, so that’s it’s own mess.

It’s all a mess, really, which is why I would just walk away if it were me.

It sounded to me like MB’s lawyer was trying to get some information onto the record during the testimony of the insurance adjuster in the trial regarding the furnace or the fuel for the furnace or something along those lines, but the judge shut him down before he could get very far with it.

The insurance adjuster testified in the criminal trial to it being a totally normal, happens all the time in an old house winter pipe burst. And that there was no intent for fraud or nefariousness. It was LK who testified that SHE spoke to the insurance adjuster about fraud….and then I believe he testified to having never talked to her.

[ekat]

Yep. I realllllllllly wanted to hear where that was going. Very badly. Lol

[ekat]

Oh I know. The adjuster was very clear on that. So it seems fruitless to sue MB, SGF, or anyone for any of that.

Just because you have insurance, doesn’t mean they have to pay a claim. Just because someone is suing MB, doesn’t mean his insurance company has to believe he is liable for anything and start writing checks. Most insurance companies don’t like to part with their money and they’ll find a million and one reasons to not pay a claim.

Really? I thought she broke the law by bringing the gun into the state.

It probably says he’s been reading the YouTube comments. Lol.

[ekat]

LOL, Yes!!!

She did, but that action is her responsibility and doesn’t make SGF liable to pay out to LK for the consequences of RC’s actions.

[ekat]

IM also said this, just last night: they “…could even see a scenario where LK would train with him again”.

I haven’t been around here that long but I’m not sure IM is a reliable narrator.

Given his obvious emotional involvement with this trial, I suspect Mr Blinkas wouldn’t mind collecting and distributing cards of support if you think the Ann Klein Center won’t do so.

Most assuredly now called “Super Lawyer”.

Don’t forget the 2nd lawyer who also did some interrogations. (Had his name yesterday but didn’t write it down.) I think someone said that he is doing the civil trial.

I wonder if Mr. B and Mr. D routinely work together, or if this was just a one time thing?

It seemed like they had their respective ducks all in a row between them.

It was an awfully interesting way for David to react, I thought

I thought it was either damage control or he truly feels lied to and used by that family.

[ekat]

I was kind of impressed with his interview. He was very thoughtful and respectful in the clip I saw.

Narrator: That was an understatement.

Lol.

[ekat]

They both seem to care a lot about MB. More so than what I’m used to seeing with attorneys and clients.

[seriously1]

Someone actually enquired about sending cards to MB via EB. EB said it was fine.
