MB CIVIL SUIT UPDATE #10 K’s Request to Adjourn (delay) DENIED 11/01/22

Yes, I think you’re right about the allergy in the Dick Francis plot line.

I read all those books, many of them multiple times. The only one I really disliked had a plot line that involved manipulating a breeding stallion’s value by messing around with his offspring. That was too much for me.

Sidebar: Mary Francis did indeed have polio, and did 100% of the research for his somewhat gimmicky although compelling mysteries.

And Taylor should never have commented on MB’s appearance.

MB did not have access to a barber while in jail. You know COVID and all. I am guessing he had access when moved to Ann Klein.

Stupid remark by Taylor and very prejudicial in my opinion

The remarks also demonstrate a clear lack of understanding of what/how being depressed and tormented can manifest in a person’s appearance and personal caretaking.

It’s sad actually, that Taylor exposed his complete lack of understanding of mental illness.
Or his bias.
Neither reflect well on him.

I concur.

I wonder if there will be any professional repercussions for him.

@ekat

Maybe by then, he will have completed his treatment and earned release. And can go shopping and buy clothes that fit him and, well, he’s released. Imagine the improvement that will make on his appearance

Also jurors are not stupid, or crazy or unobservant. The viewing audience only saw what the cameras showed at any given time. The jurors could watch anything they wanted as long as they wanted to.
And i think we saw with witnesses in this trial how hard it is to keep up an act every moment for days on end when a bunch of people have a job to do that involves looking at you

[Brown_Derby]

OT I know but I am still floored that he addressed Dr. Cox repeatedly as “Hon.” That’s one step up from addressing Black defendant as “boy.” Dude is out of it.

Only if the Judicial Committee decides to take any action.

I find it hard to believe this is a thing. During one faze the man was facing the prospect of the rest of his life behind bars. During the other faze he had been found NOT GUILTY and knew that he would eventually be free to be with his horses and loved ones again.

I’m willing to bet that anyone’s appearance would be different given the differences in gravity of the situation

The owner knew it was not something they were giving the horses, and started to assume sabotage from an outside source. Then the actually horse feed came into question. When the ingredient records were pulled on the specific lot of feed, it was determined that bakery products were used in the feed, and they contained chocolate. And chocolate contains caffeine, which is a stimulant.

How did they end up using bakery products in the horse feed?!? That doesn’t sound like a normal ingredient.

It was decades ago that someone told me never to give a horse anything with poppy seeds on it. Long before that Seinfeld episode covered that same ground. Lol.

Many companies will least cost ingredients and bakery products fall into an ingredient category. If there is a large commercial bakery in the area, it is a win/ win for both companies.

Another little tidbit- chocolate is great for fitting cattle for shows. It puts weight on them very nicely, and gives them a coat that shines like a mirror finish. Because they are judged on fitting and conformation, the caffeine in the chocolate doesn’t matter. I lived very close to Hershey, PA, and know many 4-H kids that used bulk chocolate to fit their 4-H projects.

[Brown_Derby]

Chocolate adds fat? Say it ain’t so!

[cutter99]

Just ask me how I know personally!

[Sdel]

I would think Hershey PA is a dangerous place to live….

[Hightale]

That one was Banker I believe?

[Syrynx]

Awwww remember Sidebar?

[Syrynx]

It was…and yeah, didn’t like the plotline of that one very much when it came to harming the offspring of the stallion. Or the daughter.

Or was he parroting something that was expressed in a communication he received from someone…

Not sure I agree with that. Dr. Cox is a southern lady - and many of us are well used to being addressed as “Hon,” and take no offense at it.

[Maria]

I’m southern as well. And old. I guess I am an anomaly, I don’t like to be called “Hon” or “sweetie” by someone I don’t know or am not friends with or some arbitrary man. I do embrace “Bless your Heart”.

In a court setting, I think it is very unprofessional for a judge to call a witness “Hon”. And to say it’s good seeing you again, which Taylor did in the criminal trial.

Shows disrespect to me.

meh, whatever.

At Christmas time I make alchoholic truffles (Bailey’s, Kahlua, Chambourd, etc.). According to friends, my kitchen is a very dangerous, but tastey, place to visit!

And just like that I became show cattle.
