He still logs in and lurks off and on all day…so does Seeker.

She is currently showing in the CDI at WEC. I believe she showed yesterday in the GP and will show again tomorrow (?). Wishing her good luck in the show and peace as she moves forward with her life.

She won the GP

Sorry if I offended, it was not directed at you - but generally - there was a conversation earlier on that some though it was a derogatory comment to liberals. its not…

[Danvers]

Honestly I was just trying to explain what the snowflakes meant on these Posts. Sincerely apologize if I offended.

The state proved he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and the defense proved he committed this crime because he is insane

In case you didn’t know…and you SHOULD…your hubby is an attorney, no?
“Commitment following acquittal by reason of insanity is not intended to be punitive, for, although such a verdict implies a finding that defendant has committed the actus reus, it also constitutes a finding that he did so without a criminal state of mind. There is, in effect, no crime to punish.”

Oh, don’t worry. I’m not offended.

I won’t swear to it, but I may have been the one who invented the use of it on these threads. I’m pretty sure I was there at the start, anyway. So it was just funny to have it explained to me. No problem. Lol.

Well, to be fair, the family has already demonstrated pretty clearly that being related to a lawyer does not necessarily mean anyone else will have any legal knowledge.

Thank you for posting this! I was trying to find a good explanation of this as it seems a few people aren’t acquainted with this reality.

[MHM]

Well, now it’s actually official. It’s in the Times.

Written by someone other than their person who usually does their horse related coverage, including the two articles that appeared in 2019.

It’s like it was written by 2 different people.

I saw that this thread had something like 300 more posts since I last checked it earlier and wondered if there had been more “guests”… lol

Thank you -

Maybe she used the old notes from the reporter with the horse background?
