So would they be able to use in the civil trial?
There may be some other evidence….like a plot being developed via text messages (ex. breaking into the office and being able to forge signatures) ….that could be used. Maybe that is why Nagel is so upset about RG’s text messages. Taylor kept the evidence of the criminal trial lazer focused on what MB “knew” at the time of the shooting. It begs the question, what is there that MB “didn’t know” that should have been considered that may have had an impact on what happened that day.

@trubandloki, here you go:
Crust (I use my bread machine on dough setting):
1 package dry yeast (2 tsp)
6 tablespoons sugar
1 1/3 cups water, room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons corn oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon dry oregano leaves
4 cups All-purpose flour
2 or 3 cans (depending on your taste) diced tomatoes, Italian style
2 lbs mozzarella, sliced 1/4" thick
basil
oregano
garlic powder
shredded parmesan cheese
Romano cheese
toppings of choice (mine are usually pepperoni and mushrooms)
Use dough only setting on bread machine. Add flour if needed so dough does not stick to sides. Heavily grease a 14" deep dish pizza pan (butter crisco works well)
After bread machine cycle is finished, place dough on lightly floured board and knead to punch down.
Flatten dough and shape to pan making a slightly raised lip around sides. Let dough rise in pan about 20 minutes.
Place mozzarella slices on crust, completely covering the bottom.
Add toppings (pepperoni and mushrooms)
Open tomatoes and drain. Spread tomatoes evenly over top of cheese and toppings.
Season to taste with oregano, garlic salt and basil.
Evenly sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese and romano cheese over the top.
Bake in preheated 400 oven 15-20 minutes or until crust is browned and cheese begins to slightly brown. Sometimes it may take longer, up to 30 min. depending on depth of toppings.

Serious Question. So this means all is up for questioning and exposure for both sides now? Rehash the verdict…both sides ? His “I don’t remember anything”? All her social media comments. His actions and any past behavior, emotional issues that might be relevant. Understand there were certain protections in place for both the victim and the one accused in the criminal trial….but not in a civil trial?
Going to get uglier.

It is for sure going to get uglier.
I think one side is far more worried about this than the other side.

It is definitely going to get uglier. All those sidebars…

It’s easy to breezily say that “there are a number of equally plausible scenarios”, but a lot harder to describe even one such scenario.

Clearly some people have not read the things they did not want to know if they think other scenarios are hard to describe since there have been many very plausible scenarios that fit the evidence collected that have been posted.

I think the case you included about an inheritance is different from a personal injury lawsuit.
If someone trips and falls over a tree root or sidewalk on private property or if someone is injured in a traffic accident, there was no criminal act and no intent to cause harm. However, the property owner or the person at fault for causing the accident can still be successfully sued for compensation for the harm caused. It just takes a preponderance of evidence in the civil trial that MB shot her twice and caused the injuries. Intent has nothing to do with the civil trial.

Taylor did not permit Bilinkas to argue self defense to the jury given that in Taylor’s judgement, the defense had not provided any evidence of self defense.
Like NGRI, a self defense plea is an affirmative defense. The prosecutor is not burdened with disproving an assertion of self defense, the defense has the burden of proving that it was self defense.
If Michael was and is unable to recall what happened, what is the basis for his pleading self defense?

They did try for self defense in the criminal trial. Barisone plead both NG by reason of self defense and NG by reason of insanity.
Self defense is an affirmative defense and the defense has the burden of proving he was acting in self defense.

Tell me more information about the time that RG made a motion of firing a gun at MB? When did that happen and how do we know about it? Did MB tell someone about it or was there a witness other that MB that talked about it?

I have seen exactly zero “extremely plausible scenarios that fit the evidence collected” posted, or presented by the defense attorneys at the criminal trial as a basis for reasonable doubt.
Maybe such a “extremely plausible scenario” will suddenly appear in the civil trial.

It’s not hard at all. And I have. And others have. And we did it using elements of the case. But you never pay attention.

That’s a negligence suit. Apples and oranges but both get awards.
MB is likely to win the civil case for reasons previously states numerous times.

It doesn’t take a mastermind, or 3D chess master to imagine plausible scenarios (plural).
Those who can’t imagine them must not have creative minds.
