Is there a time given for when answers will be posted on Friday? Please tell me it is like 6am or something. It is only Tuesday, Friday seems so far away.
PS - I know judges are not at work at 6am, no worries.
48 Hours could not have gone easier on LK if they tried. And they certainly could have made her look a LOT worse. I’d love to know what she thinks she’s suing them for.
48 Hours made it clear - in words - that she had refused to participate for the most part and RG apparently refused entirely. It’s also been said that they had to “hold back” to keep from getting sued by Lauren, which means she and her father threatened to sue them, likely because they didn’t want facts about her personal history before the shooting to be disclosed. The fact of the matter is that agreeing to doing 48 Hours interviews after the trial didn’t go their way was a complete misstep on their part and it shows in how they have continuously conducted themselves poorly since the verdict was read in that courtroom.
Ah but the fact that they did go on at all means they had a pre existing contract in place and when they decided they didn’t want to do it, 48 Hours must have threatened… now get this… to sue THEM!
LK and MG’s testimony is evidence. You don’t have to credit it, but it is evidence. Witness testimony is evidence.
I personally find the theory that he didn’t shoot LK to be absurd. It would require someone to believe that MB got a gun out of a safe, someone else then shoots LK while MB is having a mental breakdown and memory lapse and happens to also be at the scene of shooting, and then MG starts attacking MB but not whoever just shot his gf, and the only gun found is the one MB got out of the safe? Again, very grassy-knoll-ish to me.
I don’t really understand the reluctance to accept that maybe he was someone who was driven to commit a really horrible act after months of being mentally tortured and feeling like he had no recourse to protect himself and his gf/her children. I find that infinitely more believable, and clearly the jury did too.
Also the threat to sue CBS is laughable. Media outlets are notoriously hard to bring a defamation case against. LK seems like she’s just throwing a hissy fit that she wasn’t portrayed as a downtrodden victim to the big bad dressage trainer.
As I recall, it started out as two horses plus the apartment for $5000, but then it turned into a third and a fourth horse, one of which was bought from MB.
I think the fifth horse never actually arrived on the property in New Jersey because it was still in quarantine on August 7. I don’t recall what happened to the fifth horse after that, if it ever actually came to New Jersey or just went somewhere else after quarantine.
And at one point there was some discussion about whether the horse that LK bought from MB was supposed to have free lifetime board included at the farm in New Jersey, which obviously sounds completely ludicrous to anyone who knows anything about boarding horses.
Maybe that was LK/JK’s understanding of the deal when she bought the horse, or maybe that was just what they claimed after the fact. Hard to say.
Yes to the word correction. I dont necessarily think it is naïve on their part, I think it is that they see something like you are presenting as a low probability event and participants sign a very broad based liability waiver. Regarding spectators and other random people, there is close to zero ability to monitor who comes into most show grounds.
I could correctly say “I am not concerned about the marginal cost of my horse’s Zyrtec, it’s the Assure Guard Gold and Regumate that are really hurting my bottom line.”
Given the high cost of horse keeping in general, especially in NJ as compared to most of the rest of the country, I could say that there are no marginal costs (insignificant, minimal or negligible costs) associated with it.
Hence, this statement by @cutter99 stands as valid:
“There is no such thing as marginal cost when boarding horses, especially in the state of New Jersey.”
To me, it seems remarkable that when you factor in all those possibilities, the jury did not just find him plain old not guilty due to the accumulation of reasonable doubt.
But of course, the jury was not allowed to hear about several of those possibilities. Judge Taylor saw to that.
