If a witness impact statement was delivered at MB’s closed Krol hearing, I’ll eat my shoe. I think it’s also safe to say that the article by Nancy would have mentioned it. Also, the judge didn’t say anything about MB being a threat to the horse community, he made general statements that in no way indicated anyone on LK’s behalf was there.
On a side note, I think the lack of forensic investigation on behalf of police will actually benefit MB in the civil trial. The jury will have many doubts and questions as to what actually happened and a lot of those questions simply can not be answered.
