MB Civil Trial: JK/KK Contempt of Court?

Because Taylor threw self defense off the table. You can’t plead NG self defense if the judge won’t allow self defense to be argued.

You apparently heard her well enough to respond, Eggbutt.

Everyone does understand when we see View 1 Hidden Reply it means someone you have on Ignore is attempting to enter the conversation, right? It isn’t rocket science to know it is nothing more than the same old-same old tired malarkey or a snark. Scroll on by the notice of Hidden Reply!

Joanne was quoting directly from the video. Those weren’t her words.

Barisone did plead NG by reason of self defense.

If his lawyers had presented evidence of self defense, Bilinkas could have objected and appealed the verdict if Taylor had refused to let them provide evidence that it was self defense.

They had no evidence that it was self defense to present. Therefore Taylor did not allow Bilinkas to try to sell the jury on a theory of self defense.

If Barisone had shot her in self defense, Bilinkas had the option of having MB plead just NG by reason of self defense. If he had done that there would have been only two possible verdicts: NG or G. It’s only because you see the risk of the self defense argument failing that you would plead NGRI.

Judge Eggbutt allows and encourages posters on Coth to acquit based on a theory of self defense without any evidence that it was self defense, and indeed, despite evidence contradicting self defense, but she’s not a real judge.

So why didn’t you?

And yet she repeated them. More excuses.

Well, yes, I understand it.

Instead of admonishing your troops to ignore those with minority opinions, why don’t you set an example by ignoring them yourself? At least once or twice?

There was absolutely wrong with what Joanne quoted. Did you not have a lovely weekend so your knickers are in a knot this morning?

Let’s face a fact here, once and for all.

No one should be shot, but

  1. There is no proof that Michael shot LK except for the testimony of 2 addicts, one of whom testified to the facts she lies on social media.

  2. LK made the calculated decision to play with fire. She miscalculated. She got burned.

No proof?

There was sufficient proof that the jury scrolled on by a verdict of straight NG, and had to consider whether or not he was legally insane at the time he shot her.

Not proof to a level of absolute certainty, no. That’s not what is required. But enough proof that the jury did not go with NG as they did with the counts related to RG.

It was literally a quote from a video, I don’t see how that’s an excuse. I was just explaining that your response was out of context.
Someone seems fired up this morning.

Over the weekend, I was pondering if there is a scenario where RG could get charged with Assault. What he did was NOT restrain or subdue.

BTW - I have added my cat’s face as I am still shopping for the perfect robe. However, I am firmly ensconced in the search for truth and justice.

I realize this is most likely a fool’s errand, but do tell us @CurrentlyHorseless what evidence exists that Michael Barisone shot Lauren Kanarek!

What evidence???

Apparently someone passed the bar exam over the weekend and is now qualified to lecture us on legal matters, although without understanding that NGRI is in fact, not a guilty verdict.

I’d like to know how one goes about entering a self defense plea for an event they have no memory of as well. Sounds like an interesting legal strategy.

I know it has been said many times, but PLEASE ignore the posts of certain individuals as it adds nothing to the discussion and just dwells on the same old issues over and over and over. It gets REALLY tiresome hearing the same old same old every day. You can’t change their minds and why try. At this point, they may be doing it just to stir things up. Just scroll on by.

Plus he has his own bathrobe that someone posted upthread! Although I don’t know if the bathrobe has blinkers on.
