MB Civil Trial: JK/KK Contempt of Court?

Maybe the accused gets a copy as part of the decision making process?

That was specifically the surreptitious recording RG made of the meeting with ED, JK, and LK.

That was my thought.

Exactly. The whole job of the attorneys is to influence the judge to have a positive opinion of their own client/ negative opinion of the opponent.

Exactly why Barisone’s lawyer chose the picture of LK giving a one finger salute instead of any of the thousands of others he could have chosen to establish that she is living life normally.

I don’t think Nagel really cared if the judge thought she was actually at higher Covid risk due to the gun shot wounds. He just wanted to preach “the defendant caused serious personal injury to my client”.

You’re welcome.

Too bad, I would have loved to hear that!

Good point, but as someone mentioned upthread - attorneys often spout off about various verdicts and there aren’t any real repercussions.

And after thinking about it some more, I would be willing to bet that Deininger and Bilinkas are not overly concerned about meeting Nagel in the courtroom. :wink:

At some point you may find it best to stop arguing with those who actually understand the law and perhaps learn something from them instead.

Me too. The one point we got that was allowed in was ED asking if the recording was made at the locker and RG laughing and saying well, that one.

I wanted to hear more!

My recollection from the testimony was that the sweeper found no hidden recording devices.

I do remember LK boasting that they had placed the devices “where no one would ever find them,” which makes me wonder how thorough a job the sweeper did, and what technology he employed to try to locate said devices.

LOL.

LilRanger, a lawyer who I respect, responded to that post with Mea Culpa, admitting that she spaced out on the issue of Barisone’s pleas. Maybe she had read “plea” as “plea deal”. It happens.

At some point you may find it best to actually read the whole exchange before sending off your condescending little missives.

Rats! I guess I’m revealing my memory skills. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

This could be true, but it’s a poor tactic by Nagel if it is what he did. With that basis in mind, the motion reads as basically wasting the court’s time with accusations because you can’t be bothered to do a good job advocating for your client’s position.

And yet you have continued to ignore, argue, and misstate the actual law, not just on that point but in many others. To what purpose?

Lol, yes, please.

Was it necessary for Nagel to write that due to LK receiving two gunshot wounds to her lungs courtesy of the defendant and that there is some probability or presumption that she may be more at risk if infected with COVID than the general population of 40 year olds if he couldn’t back it up with expert testimony? No, probably not. Even if true, I doubt the scientific evidence to establish that it’s true exists, so attaching the proof is not feasible.

But if you’re representing the plaintiff in a personal injury case, and the gunshot wounds to the lungs are the primary injury, do you omit mentioning it just because you can’t prove it?

I see the rationale for Deininger’s photos of LK partying in NYC and sitting on a horse— more than I understood the rationale for the lone horse. But you don’t think the specific choice of the middle finger shot was to get in an extra dig in while establishing she’s living life normally?

I think I understand what you and the other lawyers have been saying. However, I think Nagel’s primary justification for requesting the remote deposition is the two genetic, universal considerations that have nothing to do with LK specifically— zoom is cheaper, more efficient, and minimizes Covid risk.

Not a tech expert, but it is my understanding that everyone’s COTH account is linked to an email address. It is listed under your profile but is not displayed to the public.

I assume that in theory someone could create a pseudo email account - my service provider allows me to create four extra email accounts for free (all linked to my primary account) - and I assume that I could then use one of those aliases to create a new COTH profile to post under.

But the Mods could see that both COTH usernames generally post from the same ISP and they could also probably pretty easily determine via various methods that both usernames are linked to the same individual (even if the various user profiles list different email addresses, they are all linked to the same “base” email account).

So I guess there could be three possibilities:

  • The “Seeker1” user account was actually created by KK, using her own actual email address.
  • Someone else used KK’s actual email address to create the Seeker1 account
  • Someone else created a pseudo email account for KK, based on their own email account, and then used that to create the Seeker1 user account on COTH

I believe Bruce needs to follow the rules and those rules appear to require him to have proof of what he says if what he says is an exception, even more so an exception that the plaintiff is asking for in the personal injury case they filed, ya know, where they are being asked to go for their deposition…again…in the case they filed.

Lauren Kanarek told the defense to go to her social media, she posted that photo on her social media. If she did not want people seeing that photo of her then I would assume she would not put it on her social media.

The lawyers here have explained this to you several times now.
