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

Yes. But I think it’s pretty clear by now that noone who is on the inside of the case from team MB has ever posted here, or indeed anywhere. They have been a real class act in saying nothing. Indeed exemplary.

Some folks on this thread may have professional or social ties to some of the parties on either side. But not to the extent of being informed about MB’s defense strategies.

So anything we speculate is just speculation. I can’t see what use that would be to KTeam.

On the other hand, unbelievably, the actual Kanarek family has been on here posting a rotating cycle of mutually exclusive claims about what happened. To the extent that they have actually damaged the credibility and potential success of the lawsuit. And backed themselves into a corner where apparently they’d prefer to risk having the suit thrown out, rather than have to swear under oath and reveal what is true and what’s a lie.

So I can see where KTeam might think that they too could push some pseudonymous poster here to blurt out “I’m actually MB and I now remember everything!” But that’s not going to happen.

Because most people who are involved in legal matters don’t go on chat groups and blast it all out. Even celebrities from whom the world expects a dose of drama tend to be smart enough or guided by lawyers to not actually concoct damaging stories about themselves. The Ambers and Kanyes and other unstable drama lama celebrities certainly talk to the media and diss their ex-spouses but even they don’t torpedo their court cases in chat groups.

And having both parents come on and do extra damage is pretty much unheard of.

So while KTeam was able to damage their own case, possibly significantly as it appears, there just isn’t the flow of information from TeamMB to unbag any cats.

Y’all don’t need us on here for sniping and pettiness. I was off for almost 2 years and the threads continued. I have a different viewpoint.

Thanks for admitting we don’t do the sniping and pettiness. We don’t cause it either. If I had the power to do that I’d have everyone be polite to each other with no insults or name calling.

Well yes, so I guess CH is right that in those cases there would be no need to relitigate the facts around the shooting if LK chooses not to participate in her own defence, as well as in her own complaint. :rofl:

Hey, what the heck? I’m MB and now I remember everything! And the K Klan isn’t going to like it, lol.

(In case CH and/or HH thinks this is true, it isn’t. I am not, and have never been, MB.)

There were. However, the charges were dropped due to the owner cooperating n the criminal trial.

Sounds pretty plausible to me, especially since one person was making claims in social media that the gun in question was “missing.” How would anyone know that unless they had removed it from the safe themselves?

And yeah. In a civil suit for damages that occurred because someone was shot, the defendant’s lawyer is hardly going to stipulate that the defendant shot the plaintiff, which would automatically assign a great deal of liability to his client. Especially given all the plausible alternatives in which the defendant might be found to have no liability at all.

The prosecutor met the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, the highest standard, that MB shot LK twice, an act that would otherwise be a crime except the defense met the burden of proof by a preponderance of evidence that MB was insane at the time.

I believe civil trial just needs to prove by a preponderance of the evidence and just over half the jury that MB shot her twice thereby causing her injuries, a much easier burden to meet.

I think LK was just needling RC that RC’s gun was missing because RC had relinquished it to MB and it was not returned.

Then how do you explain the assertion that she purposefully brought and gave it to him to use as a conscious part of a plot? The two are kind of mutually exclusive.

How would Lauren Kanarek know that RC brought a gun? How can Lauren needle RC about a gun that she gave to Michael if Lauren did not know the gun was there and given to Michael? It seems like there is a hole in that theory.

Now why on earth would they stipulate to MB having shot LK? That makes zero sense. Sure as shiplap I wouldn’t unless I knew for a fact that I shot her and THEN I would use the circumstances of blame for my defense. You wouldn’t just offer that up if you didn’t know that you shot her.

Oh I so agree!

Let us NEVER forget this is all about a jealous tirade about not being Belle Of The Barn and then throwing a histrionic hissy fit upon being told to go play horsie elsewhere!!!

I have created zero fantasies. Along with the jury, I think the the prosecutor successfully proved his case to the required level of proof. If Nagel has to prove the case all over again, he faces a lower level of proof than the prosecutor successfully met.

You’re welcome to create fantasies of alternative scenarios in which MB did not shoot LK, or shot her in self defense, but don’t spend any effort on my account.

Were LKs statements about the gun being “missing” made before or after the shooting?

I think this has been discussed, but I don’t know whether it was before or after the shooting.

If indeed there are many, or even one, plausible alternative theories in which MB has no liability, I agree the defense would not stipulate that their client shot the plaintiff. But in that case, why wasn’t the plausible alternative theory used in the criminal trial to negate the prosecutions case and get a straight NG verdict? That’s what I don’t understand.

I am starting to think that you ignore things on purpose just so you can state things that are not true, that you have already been told are not true, at least to me that is a very plausible theory.

Judge T would not let the defense bring in any of the very many plausible theories. You know that is why they were not brought up at the criminal trial.

Could it actually be that Michael looked in the safe, found RC’s gun gone and went up to his house to question Miss Kanarek about RC’s gun and it all went to hell in a hand basket when he confronted them? Certainly plausible. Prove me wrong.

Because Taylor shut down the defense every time they tried to substantively question a witness….over anything. And RC was threatened with prison if she said something the prosecution didn’t like.

Thank you for posting that.

When was it originally posted? After LK was out of the hospital?
