Still rehashing the criminal trial.

Was RC coerced into committing perjury by the Morris County Prosecutors Office, or compelled to state her honest testimony at the trial? I think the latter.
OK. So now you’re saying that Taylor was a biased judge who unfairly shut down attempts of the defense to negate the prosecution’s case, and assuming that Sceusi is a fair judge, the defense will successfully negate the plaintiff’s contention that he shot her, even though the standard of proof is much lower in the civil case.
You seem quite critical of Taylor, Schellhorn, and the Morris County police. It will be interesting to see if you like Sceusi any better (but wasn’t he the judge who dismissed MBs civil case against the police?)
I just got home from the barn, I watered the indoor, rode my lease pony, cleaned my tack, played with my girl, yacked with nice people, and the only thing new for me is the fb post to RC’s wall from LK that I hadn’t seen before.
I need a holiday recipe for the spiced rum I received as a gift. I am not a rum drinker. Help a girl out please

Omg. So many of you just cannot help yourselves. You admit the futility of responding to some, yet there you go again.
Some of us are interested in new matters and decisions. If this thread gets shut down you have only yourselves to blame and we interested bystanders will be unable to get current info.
Please and thank you, not just half halt but hold hard.

I am not a member of the LK family. Outside of this forum, I do not know them. I do not and have not followed her on Facebook, instagram, YouTube, or anywhere else. I first learned her name after MB shot her. I am not friends of the family.
I am not a lawyer nor do I work for one.
I think MB and LK were a bad mix. I think MB was under a lot of stress with losing Vera, his wife, his business partner, the person who tolerated his extra-marital affairs, and took care of all the details so he could compete and hold clinics. I think he was worried about cash flow. I think his 8-9 concussions may have affected him greatly. I’ll let one of the amateur psychologists/psychiatrists explain what happens to sports stars with multiple concussions.
I think LK felt he only wanted her monthly income and money for buying his horses or horses through him. I think he expected her to buy through him and not through Rosanna Williams. I think she resented that.
I think there was a lot of gossip in that barn and conflicting loyalties because of the divorce and then arrival of the new girlfriend.
LK should have left but I don’t know if she could control the funds in order to do so.
I believe the jury got it right that he shot LK twice and was insane at the time. I don’t believe LK drove MB crazy. He had enough on his plate to do so already.
I disagree with blaming victims.
I wish LK and MB well and hope they both continue to recover and rebuild their lives. I don’t expect it to be easy.

Do you really think the mods will not let a new thread be started if something new and current comes up?
They have every other time, why think this time they will not after CH and Hut intentionally get the thread closed (something that was admitted to up thread).

@dotneko, another thing you can do to not have to read is to wait until the title is updated with the next number update. @ekat pretty much always updates the title and adds in the latest legal documents in the original post.

Because Taylor didn’t allow it. He told the defense to stick ro one theory, or claim, and anything else he shut down. The defense had to build their defense around one theory.

Judge Taylor would not allow Bilinkas to try to sell the jury on a self defense verdict, given that Bilinkas had provided no evidence that it was self defense. Self defense is an affirmative defense in which the defense has the burden of proving it was self defense; the prosecution does not have the burden of proving it was not self defense.
Bilinkas always had the standard option of simply negating the prosecution’s case by claiming “LK stole the gun out of the safe while dressed in a Ninja costume the night before, then waited on the porch the next day and telepathically summoned MB to drive over to where she was waiting on the porch. Oh, she also had prearranged with ED to have ED call her at 2:08 because she knew that’s exactly when MB would arrive. LK pointed the gun at MB, demanding … something. His best horse? $50,000? That he dump MHG? A struggle ensues and LK is wounded in the struggle.”
Unlike a defense of self defense or insanity, the defense does not have a burden to prove their theory is correct. They just have to argue their alternative theory as “plausible” enough to create reasonable doubt as to the prosecution’s theory.
The affirmative defense of self defense did not fly. The defense did not present an alternative theory that would have negated the prosecutions case.
The affirmative defense of insanity did fly. It merely establishes that he was not criminally responsible for having shot her.

There’s no reason to what you think.

You think that really rankles me? I guess you really do lack reading comprehension skills. It was actually the outcome I expected. His hands were tied from prior case law because the government has always protected its own corruption. He also left the case open for MB to come back and assert his claims in case he could prove the police lied under oath, a real violation of his civil rights.
It doesn’t mean anything to the current case in front of him.

So what was their alternative theory? That LK had stolen the gun from the safe? I don’t remember the defense providing any alternative theory.
Yes. With the exception of Schellhorn refiling the order to turn over the forensics on the phone, I update the title as stuff happens - hence, the current title UPDATE # 10 with the date.
I did not change it over a resubmitted order by Schellhorn, because it’s not really new.
Maybe this week we will get something new, other than a new way for me to click boats.

Orrr- here’s a thought - just stop with the senseless toying with those two. Nothing will come of it other than getting this shut down.
