Getting to the Olympics twice in eight years qualifies as being “already in trouble”?? 
How many times have you been to the Olympics? As a participant, that is.

Unfortunately, people with mental illness are not equipped with the emotional tools they need to deal with a lot of negative people or events in their lives. The other people at the barn were tense and upset, but I got the impression that they were more worried about MB than fearful of LK. I could be wrong, but that’s the impression I got. Let’s put it this way, Barisone and MH became romantically involved a couple of years before his divorce from Kessels, who was also his business partner. He stood to lose a lot in that divorce and he did. $965k

Who are you to speculate on that? Astounding.

I feel so sorry for you that you can’t comprehend what your daughter did to another human being. And it’s not like she did one or two vile things, she upped the ante at every turn. Who does that? If you do not have any shame for what she has done, then shame on you.

Kirby, I just want to say, mother to mother, that I don’t blame you ONE BIT for not allowing that daughter of yours in your house … I wouldn’t either.

If you were truly there at the trial everyday, you would know that Mr. Barisone did not testify, so saying that his own testimony showed he was suffering from mental illness only demonstrates your ability to create misinformation. I realize you want to hold someone accountable for your daughter’s injuries, but it might be wise to first look in the mirror and be sure you are not creating falsehoods to try to justify her behavior.

That was the kindest response you will get here, and you want to argue with her?

Lauren didn’t give a victim impact statement. That is pretty strange. Maybe the state believed it would further weaken their case if she spoke again.

I’m not disputing that. Let’s put it this way, many people have been victimized by squatters who also threaten them. What separates those that cope and survive and those that don’t? Have you ever seen “Worst Roommate Ever”? Here’s the trailer. I think LK could easily be featured on that show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI5Vg-17t4s
Yes, thank God, but also a huge thank you to the jury and defense attorneys. Thank you!!!

I missed that the first time thru. Glad someone pointed it out. You do realize that MB did not testify, right?

That would come at sentencing if he were found guilty. He wasn’t, so the Court has no more need to hear from her on this case.

Oh - I thought it was SOP for them to speak again. Thank you for the info.

IdahoRiders post was not a “response” to me.
IdahoRider was incorrect in saying the verdict indicated the jury disbelieved LK. The jury acknowledged that MB committed the crime of attempted murder wrt LK, and also determined that MB was not criminally responsible for the crime, due to testimony that he was legally insane.

It seems Lauren is a chip off the old Kirby block. What a family.

No worries. It’s one of the things I’m grateful for in this case - no more need to hear from some of the witnesses/victims.

Gross.
I understand you must be disappointed with the verdict but you can’t seriously believe this.
