But, but, but, hang on a dang second here, aren’t the Kanareks all over SM saying that this outcome was exactly what they wanted, and they won, and it’s all excellent, pop the champagne, LKs clever master plan coming together, so happy and proud of our little darlin’? Weird that their attorney thinks otherwise …

The other funny part of that was that I would think the lawyer who was quoted had nothing to do with the case officially. It was the state versus Barisone, not Kanarek versus Barisone.
I saw the prosecutor in the trial every day. I never saw this guy there. I guess he could have been sitting in the peanut gallery with the rest of the spectators. Lol.

If their side “won” what’s with the angry attorney and other such statements?
This doesn’t seem very happy to me
Bravado. It’s not just for breakfast any more.

I suspect Nagel’s opposing attorneys will forevermore quote his slagging of the jury in their open and their close.
Not so bright; not so ethical; not even creative.

Not so much.

Sort of like having endless threatening text messages and Facebook posts for the other side to use in the trial.
I wonder if this attorney will try to twist it to his advantage. “You look like a smart jury. I’m sure you’re much smarter than that stupid jury that was in the criminal trial, right??”

Aside from supporting a fragile MB, I imagine letters of support from hundreds of women demographically similar to the “victim” would play well on the 48 Hours episode.

I would hate for people to get the impression that MB support by women had anything whatsoever to do with attraction or Fandom.

I have to say Nagle has credentials up the wazoo. Maybe he should run for the hills before his reputation takes a hit.

I wonder if we will hear more from those that defended MB now that it’s over. I commend all of the defense witnesses for staying off SM about it until now, but would really like to hear the other side of things and what exactly was going on prior to the shooting.

He does have good edu cred but, I will say, folks do sort of give side eye to that classmate from a top ten school who goes into personal injury. It still does have the ‘ambulance chaser’ association and definitely attracts, shall we say, a certain personality. He may make big money, but his classmates at top firms, boutiques, and even prestige public service are definitely going, oh, how interesting. 
And, given the way he slagged off the jury on video, I guarantee more than one classmate is going, yeah, not surprised it’s ol’ Bruce.
I mean, again, who does that?
Major faux pas for someone who depends upon the good graces of jurors for a percentage of his income. He may have been absent from the Barbri bar prep course the day they did ethics?

That’s the interesting (IMHO) thing; so many on MB’s “side” were silent. They were smart. I also think that they didn’t have much to hide and had no real need or incentive to lie. So they perhaps didn’t feel it necessary to form some sort of false narrative and/or run to social media with their side of things. They let things take their course and the legal system sort it out. I can’t imagine how difficult it was to stay silent.
There’s nothing wrong with a victim getting their story out there, don’t get me wrong, and I’m not discouraging that. There were times when I wanted to give LK, as the victim, the benefit of the doubt (foolishly) and wanted to think that there was some truth in what she was saying.
However, I’ve since learned that a lot of it wasn’t the truth/supported by any evidence, even though the Kanarek team (LK, IM, Mother, et al) love to shout EVIDENCE! But much of the EVIDENCE!!1!11! just points to their bad character. It also points to some things that MB did wrong too, so no one is a Saint here, but the evidence doesn’t always say what they think it does. Maybe this happens when you’re so wrapped up in yourself? I don’t know.
I do know, that I can hardly believe a thing that comes from the LK “side” anymore. They’ve really discredited themselves. My opinion was higher (but not high, really) of them prior to this trial. Granted I’m a nobody (and I like it that way!) so who gives a care about what I think, but I do think I’m not alone in that thought.

Indeed, you are not alone. This is a perfect description. It was a master class in decorum and, well, class. And it was really, really smart. They knew so much bad stuff but just sat on their hands. I agree with you that they had so much less to hide, but it must have been so tempting to rebut the 2.5 years of incendiary posting by the LK ‘side’.
That side discredited themselves completely at this point. I’d want to see some hard, reproducible evidence if they told me the sky was blue.

I thought it to be unwise, and sort of immature, really. However, there are some types that think their untouchable/so good/can say as they please and no one can do anything. Usually comes with having an oversized ego. I don’t know this particular individual, but maybe he’s a bit arrogant.
Given his career field (personal injury), I wouldn’t be surprised because as you said, it attracts a certain type. It puts money in the bank, and if you have the character for it, then whatever. Personal injury attorneys do have their place in this world/system. My corner is a bit different, because I’m not the courtroom brawl type, usually. I like to be both important and nearly invisible at the same time
It was his remark to make, but I don’t agree with it.

I was taught more in the Judge Taylor mode: you respect the jury, full stop. It was very unbecoming of both him and the profession.
But, you are right, there are plenty of those types out there. Heck, they are a large part of the source of most of the lawyer stereotypes and jokes.
I like your description of being important and nearly invisible. Mind, on a beautiful Easter Saturday I’d like to be entirely invisible to my client as I’ve done way too much work for such a lovely holiday weekend!

You have said this several times now, and I am confused why you think it applies to this situation. MB showed quite a bit of respect towards the LK clan while things went south and they started their tormenting. Examples, asking them to leave, asking them to not come into their living quarters at night, asking them to not threaten the working student, etc. But all that polite respect that one would use in their every day life did not seem to get the LK clan to turn off their torture plan, leave, and go on with their lives.
Why is it that you are now shoving down the throats of every poster here that if they just are offered a little respect things will go better? Do you think the LK clan has suddenly changed their MO?

Conservatorships are usually for individuals with income, the conservator controls the money the individual earns because the individual is deemed unfit to manage their own money. While Brittany was under conservatorship, she was working constantly and making lots of money.
My understand of the Kanarek situation is that Lauren has no money in her own right and has no earned income. Conservatorship isn’t necessary because her father already controls the flow of money to her.
