So one impeachment after another?

One MAJOR flaw in this line of reasoning; he couldn’t have been driving to the house to confront LK. As far as Michael knew LK and RG had been ordered to vacate by the fire marshall and had left the premises. He had no reason to believe they would be at the house that morning.

Thank you. Certain posters completely ignore this fact. Why is that, do you suppose?

A notice of appearance doesn’t require the judge to do anything unless someone is requesting to appear pro hac vice (be allowed to practice though not a member of the bar in that state, which is at the grace of the Judge). Otherwise, you just file, in my state it’s a uniform notice of appearance. Note that anyone who wishes to represent themselves ALSO has to file one saying they are acting as their own counsel. Anyone who does not will have one entered on their behalf by the clerk before they can appear in court.

If a structure is unoccupied in the winter months, lack of water circulation through the pipes by itself can cause a pipe to freeze and burst. It is why many people with older heating systems will leave a tap dripping in several areas of the home if they will be absent for any length of time, as water moving through the pipes means that they are not obstructed by ice.
But I know of many recently-constructed homes that have had a pipe burst, including two I’ve lived in. It’s not down to poor maintenance or a utility shutoff.

I think the prosecutor was angling for that big promotion (and perhaps looking even further down the road to higher positions in the judicial system - or possibly a political career). So to win “that big attempted murder trial” (which would be a huge feather in his cap), in which the victim was the daughter of a local retired lawyer who may or may not have had social or political ties with TPTB in the area, he (the prosecutor) managed to make lemonade out of lemons (admitted drug addict grifters as star witnesses, shoddy police investigation, the willingness to affirmatively ignore or to object to evidence that might expose his star witnesses to further scrutiny, plus being aided and abetted by a presiding judge who seems to hold a grudge against the defense attorney and may or may not have social or political ties to the same TPTB).
Holy cow, that is a run-on sentence worthy of Ken Braddick!

@DownYonder, I am personally very impressed and your superior skills with the parenthesis to make that sentence maximize its run-on-ness. I strive to be that good and fail.
(Sorry, I wanted to give you a winning blue ribbon but the emoji collection fails on that front so this pretty red hair ribbon is now your prize.)

While skimming the 48 Hours episode last night, I noticed again how Schellhorn always, always looked to the left and was shifty, never looking the camera or interviewer in the eye. Bikinkas and Deininger looked straight into the camera and spoke completely relaxed. It was clear, to me at least, Schellhorn didn’t want to be there.

I am thinking that JK was the one who thought it was a small fortune - which may explain why the accommodations for LK and her manservant were included in the deal. I am also thinking that LK (who tries to play everyone around her), told Daddy that it was a fantastic deal, and he went along with it because, hey, if Daughter Dearest has a free place to live where she is near her horses, maybe it will help her keep her life on the straight and narrow. (Parents always hope for their kids, even when the kid has shown time and again they are not worthy of it.)

Random question, did LK buy the schoolmaster or was that given to her by MB? I can’t remember what the situation was there.
Both she and Rob testified she paid $40,000 for Jay-T.

What horse are you talking about specifically?
If it is the one I think you are talking about, do you not believe the people here, whose posts you generally agree with, that have said it was purchased or the testimony from the trial that said it was purchased or are you asking for some other reason?

Exactly this.
I’m also not opposed to people having differing opinions and I do enjoy a good argument, but I don’t enjoy people making false claims and insisting that they’re fact. You(g) shouldn’t just take something that you heard once, or heard repeated as fact.
Sometimes I get what SierraMist is saying and understand their view(s), but their comments do contain misinformation, so it sort of makes me respect their opinion a bit less. I mean, that’s just how I feel in general, when people form a strong opinion off of falsehoods. I’m a bit forgiving if you genuinely didn’t know any better and are willing to accept the facts or alter your thoughts when the actual facts are presented. I’m not saying that one has to entirely change their opinion, but accepting or working with facts atleast shows you have some grasp on things, and an interest in the actual truth.
Just because someone says something on these threads and that statement hasn’t been debated and/or beaten to death, doesn’t mean it is a fact.
Fact finding in this case is difficult at times. The forensic evidence isn’t incredibly detailed, and the victim + her associates have proven themselves to be, time and time again, unreliable narrators. Then we have MB who has no memory. So I can understand why there are many ideas floating aroind, but if something can actual be disproven, then it’s not a fact.
It’s just amazing to me, or should I say fastinating, how people shape their views and argue on these threads. I get that many don’t have a professional background in research, fact finding, having to provide proof actual proof re what you say, and whatnot, but a good course would do some people good! There are just some things that are incredibly weak to base views off of. Which is whatever for informal jabber on a forum, I guess.

No I just couldn’t remember, for some reason I thought MB gave him to her but that didn’t make any sense really so I was just trying to confirm.

Curious, which part of that long post are you saying was well done, because parts of it have been proven to false, not just not plausible, but totally false.
So that makes me wonder which parts are you saying is well done, or are you agreeing with the untruths?

I have no doubt that Lauren Kanarek would tell you the answer to this.
