MB Civil Trial: JK/KK Contempt of Court?

But how would they square that with LK’s repeated threats/admissions of: we have solid gold, we have the recordings, they will all come out, we will release them, patience, patience?

She has declared she/her team have possession of the recordings and Seeker has declared she transcribed them. How can they now suddenly claim they don’t have possession?

Also, that wouldn’t help shine up the fact that they were non-cooperative and needed threats of contempt to get them off their legally challenged backsides and even give the lame ass response they just gave.

Yea, there are a lot of issues with the recordings. I would imagine that even if legal, it would be difficult proving the recordings weren’t tampered with in some way. I assume there was also an issue with relevance.

It’s confusing because if the recordings were illegal, I’d assume they couldn’t be admitted into the civil trial, but from what I understand, are still being subpoenaed. I guess they are subpoenaing legal records? Idk.

She had no problem saying under oath that she lies on SM. More of that?

It’s entirely possible the strategy is to delay, delay, delay, delay, delay, and delay until the opposition gives in and forces a settlement or walks away. When HIV-positive Eventer Darren Chiacchia was faced with the criminal charge of failing to disclose his HIV-positive status to his intimate partner, his one and only move was to orchestrate delay after delay after delay on his own behalf, for several years, until the case was dropped. They had his own personal, self-admitted and corroborated admission of guilt, as evidence against him, so he had no real legal defense to use in his favor and played the long game, by switching attorneys multiple times and declaring bankruptcy. Eventually, the case changed hands and was dropped.

True. Though humiliating for her after all her screeching on here that she never lies, it is a convenient catch-all excuse. Super duper lame, but convenient, I guess.

So, quick question….the deposition is for SGF. Does Michael get to do his own?

Whatever recordings that were retrieved by the State of NJ in the criminal trial have been disclosed to all the parties. And again, those were specifically prior to Aug 7th.

What they are requesting now are KK’s Transcripts. These are at issue because LK used those transcripts in her complaint to SafeSport, which was part of that whole chain of events designed to drive MB literally insane. And my gut tells me they are trying to see how much KK’s transcripts, that they used against MB before the shooting, match reality.

They are also asking for any recordings/videos etc that weren’t already disclosed, and taking the date out past Aug 7th, 2019.

I’m really curious how the assets will work out if MB wins the civil trial.

But in regards to LK’s version of the story, her public image is so bad and her actions so ill perceived that no one is going to take her opinion for much. The real bombshell will be when MB opens his mouth and if he’s willing to disclose detail, his side of the story. There is SO much we haven’t heard.

So, theory being you don’t ask about something you don’t already know the answer to….

Is it possible that the Lundbergs have communications from the parties that call things into question? Remember, LK stayed there for some time after the shooting, LK’s claims that they begged her to stay afterwards, and they filed formal evictions in Dec ‘19. I assume most of that involved JK.

How does the USEF/SS investigation fit into all this, or does it? I wonder if Michael’s team is working on dismissal of the charge against him at this point? I can’t imagine he or MH dropping their request for investigation into LK’s actions.

This is why it is important to me that people don’t forget all that LK & her comrades did to so many over the years and at Hawthorne Hill.

I totally agree with you.

I honestly can’t imagine Michael remembers anything significant of 8/7 and perhaps it is wise he no longer dwell on all that was done prior to that day, at least for now.

Thank you, I appreciate the clarification. That makes much more sense IRT how it connects to SS. I was trying to figure out why they’d need a transcript from KK if the parties have access to the recordings.

So, the recordings submitted to the state that all parties have a copy of… does that imply the recordings were legal? Or would all parties have a copy despite their legality?

I think MB will navigate safe waters as he and parties connected to him have, and will take the advice of council.

But I’m more so talking about events leading up to the shooting versus the shooting it self. I imagine he is eager to move on but I do believe more details will eventually be revealed.

It may be there are questions whether they actually have all the illegal recordings, videos, whatever.

As far as I know, it just means they have them. They were obviously excluded from the criminal trial, but we don’t know why they were excluded at this point.

Oh, and you’re welcome. :slight_smile:

You can only be humiliated if you have the emotional capacity for it.

…guilt, shame and remorse are absent yet entitlement, egocentricity and greed reign

I say this as someone who has zero knowledge of how USEF/SS works, but I wonder if it’s possible they are waiting to see if he is released to move forward?

I am guessing they have something there. I mean, part of JK’s subpoena was related to written communications between him and the Lundbergs, and him and Mr Tarshis, both before and after the shooting. That seems like they have an inkling what they are looking for.

My guess is that discovery would sort that out. They don’t need a tangible reason for getting a deposition, just a suspicion, or just mere interest in what someone might have to say about something. IANAL, but that’s my take.
