Off the top of my head I would say loading a gun with only 2 bullets is a huge indication of intent being one of bringing the gun just in case. Were I going to kill 2 people I would have certainly loaded the full clip.
Then we have the alleged timeline where in LKs version, she beat a man for 7 minutes in the head, she twirled, she looked at multiple phones all after being shot twice at point blank range center mass, flatlining twice later.
We don’t even see The Arnold doing that in a movie.
Re reasons to bring a weapon that you just grabbed, not knowing it only has two bullets in it…
There’s the incident the previous day (?) in which LK bum rushed him and wouldn’t let him get in his truck to retreat also.
There’s also the possibility that he was going to what he assumed was an empty house, since I’ve seen no evidence that he was informed that the Town Inspector allowed LK and RG to stay, to do a number of things… Including self harm.
Since the evidence (what little there was in the criminal trial) showed literally nothing definitively, if Schellhorn was aware of any previous violent behavior by Michael Barisone, I guarantee he would have used it.
But we do know of violent previous behavior by both LK and RG that Taylor would not allow the jury to hear. They WILL hear about their lengthy criminal records in the civil trials (regardless of convictions - to be charged certainly shows intent).
Someone please show me the absolute evidence Michael Barisone shot anyone…evidence that could not be attributed to Lauren Kanarek or Robert Goodwin’s impeached testimony. Simply saying she was shot is meaningless. If this is so cut and dried by a couple of argumentative posters, why are the Kanareks refusing to comply with subpoenas and requests for depositions that would prove their version of what happened?
How interesting it will be (to all) if Michael regains his memory during his treatment at Greystone. If Simring couldn’t help him remember, I doubt his memory of the horror he suffered that day will ever be recalled, regardless what Taylor and others think.
Another fun fact. A clip is what is used to load a magazine. It’s a misnomer to refer to a magazine as a clip. (Except in rap songs lol) A magazine is what holds the bullets. Carry on
Apparently Bilinkas was not paying attention either. Even a single “equally plausible scenario” fitting “the elements of the case” would have provided a basis for reasonable doubt and resulted in straight NG on all four counts.
But she also thought she had gone in a helicopter to the hospital. With being shot twice at point blank center mass(something we do know happened) perhaps she was in shock, she lost a lot of blood and could have be a bit delusional afterwards . I would not put much weight into those comments as far as evidence she was lying about what happen before she was shot or who shot her if brought up at the civil trial.
