People are different. Some can snap out of it. Others can’t.
I’ve never been a drug addict but I was a dedicated smoker. Tried to quit several times. Never worked. Then one day I got sick and couldn’t smoke. It lasted a few days so when I got better I figured I was now quitted. And just like that, I was quitted.
Another thread review:
The exact sequence of events are as follows: (There are perhaps, one or two specific details, I can’t comment on, but only bc it’s def not public info & MB has no idea it/they exist.) I was reading on my love seat on the porch. I’d been there all morning. Sometime around 2 pm I saw Michaels truck speeding down the driveway. I heard it & immediately peeked my head out from the umbrella attached to the love seat. He pulled in the driveway to the house and parked directly in front of the table set outside the porch. I immediately ran upstairs to get Rob bc I had no desire to talk to him & was afraid to be alone with him out there. Rob came down, stood on the porch (at first) and began asking Michael what he wanted. I noticed Michael was standing in a very weird position. He was behind a chair, hiding most of his body behind a bush. I could hear, but I was standing on the porch so I leaned over the handrail to hear better. Michael told/asked Rob “what can I do to make everything better? I just want to make this right and make everything good again… I honestly could not believe my ears. But, Rob told him to call his lawyer and let our lawyers talk & stormed away back to the porch. I, however, DID want to hear exactly how Michael thought he was gonna make everything alright - you’d have to know Michael to know that after the past 6-7 days of TORTURE - he might actually think there was some way to “fix everything.” Even I partially believed it. So I stupidly went outside (off the safety of the porch - to be clear) and got about 4 ft away from him, but the table and partial chair were in between us. I right away asked, “ok. How do you plan to … (or something similar)
Never finished my sentence. He immediately pulled a gun from his jeans and shot me twice in the chest right then. I ran around in a circle or something… I think I was in shock. But reality kicked in and my first thought was Rob. Michael fired another round and Rob went down. I thought he was shot in the head. Glass was everywhere from the window in the door in the laundry room which leads to the porch where rob had been standing - Michael started running to the porch & One second later Rob comes leaping out of the laundry room door (which wasn’t completely closed all the way, as we wanted to be able to go right back in if needed) and tackles Michael to the ground. I was bleeding from my chest and side so badly it was running down my arms and hands and my red shirt was (still RED &) soaking wet. I was TERRIFIED the gun would go off from somewhere under Michael and Rob was on top of him holding him down… I remember running over to them and trying to dial 911 from my phone but my hands were soaking wet with blood, it wouldn’t dial… 911 got called though. (That part I can’t disclose.) 911 was called Also by me - apparently. But I don’t remember speaking to 911. I remember vividly Rob screaming “Stop fkng trying to move Michael.” They were on the ground still & I couldn’t let the gun go off or let Michael get free. So I started hitting him in the face with my phone until it broke. Rob kept trying to push me off bc he legit thought I was about to die once the adrenaline wore off or I bled out, but I kept coming back until I thought I should try & somehow tourniquet my chest (stupid I know, but I didn’t know how else to stop the bleeding) … so I started crawling toward the table bc I guess I thought I saw a rag or small towel (they were usually always on the chair seats bc they were SO uncomfortable) but I couldn’t make it. Body gave out. I was losing consciousness and I knew that was BAD. Cops showed up exactly at that moment. 6 guys I think. But one guy was first by a matter of a nano second. He got Rob off Michael & I remember my dog was somehow outside which she’s never allowed to be unless she’s on her ground leash. She was biting Michael and even Rob, too. Anyway, the cop was then standing over Michael with a pistol aimed at his head telling him if he moved again, he would “fkng kill him so do not fkng move.” All I remember after are pieces… the 6 cops were trying to keep me conscious. They bandaged my entry wounds, located the exits, bandaged them too, cleaned blood off my face and arms. Then I remember hearing “the med evac chopper can’t fly - there is storm coming. But they did get there. I was flown to the hospital and that is all I remember. I woke up 4 days later in the ICU …
not editing this, so if there are grammar mistakes or words missing … feel free to either ask or ignore. Also, I was not “tricked,” into writing this … these facts I’m allowed to share. But ONLY these facts. There will definitely be surprises… and thank god. Once the defense figures it out I can’t imagine what defense he will POSSIBLY have to combat the “other” evidence.
Bold for the interesting differences to the official testimony.
Italics for the weird over detailed commentary that is usually given to make lies seem more credible.
The bold #1 and #2 are clearly, not verbatim, on the 911 call.
But in between the #1 and #2 on the 911 call she was beating in the head with her phone during that call??
What I don’t get….she was with it enough to beat MB/help RG and knew where the gun was, but couldn’t remember talking to 911….ok….
N9 jebntion of being on the phone to ED.
Let’s not forget about this gem.
Where in his jeans?
If he was behind a bush and a chair,…
I don’t remember glass being everywhere or mentioned by any officers.
Did I forget that detail?
I just remember a hole in the door window from pictures shown during the trial. A bit of glass, but I don’t recall it being “everywhere”.
I don’t recall any testimony about how LK approached within 4 ft him or the table….BEFORE he shot at her.
Remember the incident where she backed him up to his truck and prevented him from leaving. Based on where it was said that he parked/was standing, that could have easily been repeated.
I also want to point out about the umbrella. From the way it was positioned in the crime scene pictures, I doubt he would have been able to tell if she was there. It’s entirely possible he thought they were gone because he thought they were evicted and only realized after he got there that they were still around.
I think this is an unfair representation of the facility and is sensationalizing the matter at hand.
Greystone has a mixed population of patients with various psychiatric abnormalities. Many of the patients being violent. I’ve looked into Greystone’s history and while this particular case had a lot of media coverage, I couldn’t find a significant number of events like this to also have occurred. In fact, the most deaths are contributed to COVID.
When you compare this facility’s statistics regarding crime occurring inpatient to the national average for crime amongst civilians or those in jail, it’s extremely low in comparison, despite having a higher number of violent individuals.
For this facility to house the population it houses with so few events lends to the fact that it’s actually quite a safe facility.
I’ve never known any facility, whether that be a hospital, inpatient facility, jail, or what have you, to be completely without incident.
I don’t believe it necessary to make certain inaccurate assumptions because you are trying to paint whatever portrait it is you are trying to paint.
And how did she know there was glass everywhere? hmmmmmm
If the bullet from the gun was fired from out in the yard the glass would be in the laundry area of the house.
Remember during either hers or RG’s testimony, Bilinkas tried to find out if LK or RG went back into the house…???
Ummmm yea, how would she know if she didn’t go back in the house?
I imagine that is what all the notifications 20 minutes before were about. According to testimony, LK was sitting on the porch and RG was up stairs until ED called. What was causing the annoying notifications?
And he was wearing khaki shorts…small correction but nonetheless.
The only forensics we have to go by showed the trajectory of the bullet coming from a low angle in front of or near the front of MB’s truck, making LK’s entire recollection of the shooting inaccurate. Also the fact that LK claimed 3 shots were fired with only 2 casings found. Yes, it rained on the crime scene but this happens often and casings are generally still usually recovered. It would take a lot of rain to carry a casing so far from a crime scene that it couldn’t be found.
My interpretation is she saw glass was everywhere after she was shot and after MB supposedly shot at RG.
Sounds like maybe she came storming down the stairs. Is it possible she approached in such an agitated and aggressive manner as to make someone believe they were under attack? Is it possible she came running down, arms flailing aggressively screaming she was going to kill him? Maybe he stumbled back and he pushed her away and then fired as he was on the ground about to get jumped again by her?
With her description, that’s where my mind went.
My opinion.
This was a copy/paste of LK’s post, not my interpretation of it.
But now that I’m thinking of it….how did LK even see the glass considering how far up off the ground the porch is and how recessed the area is.
And did the ballistics account for the idea that the door was open? I think they did the ballistics as if the door was closed….
But according to this she was reading, on the porch, and went in to get RG when she saw/heard MB driving up.
Hmmm… No conversation with ED.
No RG coming out to give her the phone to talk to ED?
I thought they were on the phone with the lawyer…
Again (can’t forget that prior, precedent setting incident)
