I admit that I have very little knowledge of the court system, but this is the way I see it, too.
I think the lack of a guilty verdict eats away at those two (TayHorn) and they aim to make MB suffer the consequences of their angst.

I’d also suggest that the “victim”- shot hundreds of times, … Center mass…airlifted,…- feels comfortable choosing a home not far from her killer (chuckle) thus it seems like her fear of him is low, and theirs should be too.
If someone shot and murdered me… I certainly would not buy a home in their neighborhood.
Just saying.

Not to mention the years of social media postings that involve copious amounts of lies, manipulation, provocative language and not so subtle threats to Michael and pretty much everyone else involved or following.
I still can’t really get over how they thought they anyone involved in the horse world would believe that they were talking about anything other than the standard liability waiver and that insisting she sign one could only be evidence of some malicious intent. That and barn hours. Give me a break! That was clue #1.
It’s really shameful that TayHorn clung to such obviously stupid accusations from the K’s. Every stupid insistence of these accusations just further cements in my mind that there was indeed a concerted plot to extort or otherwise frame Michael for something and that his insistence on basic boundaries were obstructing such goals. Fortunately, it seems the K’s were nice enough to put their plans/motivations in text.

The continued control of MB is showing their motivation. TayHorn is acting so far out of bounds of legal bounds and precedent in terms of KROL jurisdiction.

Taylor and Schellhorn are indeed demonstrating that they do not agree with the jury verdict. They are convinced that MB is guilty and they are going to do everything in their power to continue to exert control over him and drive home their firm belief that he was/is faking memory loss. Their big hope is that he or someone on his team will eventually crack and let slip that he DOES remember the incident and that the shooting was intentional and premeditated. They can then puff and preen to their bosses and coworkers and the public about how they were right - it’s all about building their resumes.

Which is just sad. That is not how it should be. It goes against justice. If this is what is happening, then it’s no wonder that TayHorn are siding with bullies who believe that they shouldn’t have to respect boundaries or that people shouldn’t be allowed to have boundaries.

It’s some Minority Report type of thinking.

Someone should really sit TayHorn down and explain that their behavior and arguments here will be prime campaign material against them if whatever their political/career agenda is involves voters.
The trial and 48 hours episode and close/over 2 million viewers combined with probably close to 10k or more combined comments across the internet. The evidence is that probably 1k:1 the viewers expressed some version of:
- Michael was the victim of a horrendous bullying campaign and that bully was LK.
- Lauren/RG lied their faces off and nothing they said about the event can be trusted to have been how things really happened.
- If he shot her, it was probably justified.
- It was self-defense/she shot herself/RG shot her.
- Not having any sympathy for Lauren/she should have left when things weren’t to her liking.
I think a political opponent could make a very strong case that neither of these two will support the victims of bullying. And with it being such a hot topic today, not a good look. And if any more evidence of plotting against Michael should actually come out….well, how comfortable is the public going to be with having people who ignore things in charge should they find themselves in a similar situation.
Plus, the internet is forever. There is evidence all over of Lauren’s lies, plots, manipulations, multiple screen names etc that will just make them look stupid and ego driven.

I would say go to the press but this case is just so complicated they would most likely get it wrong (other than the ones who covered the case)

After, the kind corrections of other posters, Taylor was appointed, and only has to retire in 2030. Until Taylor is out, retires or whatever happens, I suspect Michael will have restrictions and have to stay in NJ. I’m just relieved something worse than the restrictions didn’t happen.

Taylor was not elected, he was appointed.

“Taylor was initially appointed by Governor Chris Christie in February 2013 to the Vicinage 5 Superior Court, where he served on the Civil Division. He was reappointed by the New Jersey Senate in 2020 and can serve until 2030 when he reaches the state’s mandatory retirement age of 70 for judges.[1][2]”
Retirement in six years…

Really though, once you hear the words, “New Jersey” and “Chris Christie” it all makes sense

Actually all you need to hear is “New Jersey” and it all makes sense.

Thanks for the correction.
I’m cringing thinking this could go on for 6 more years. SInce Taylor was appointed not elected, then nothing will stop him.

“According to an eight-state study, the insanity defense is used in less than 1% of all court cases and, when used, has only a 26% success rate.”
I knew a successful insanity defense is rare but didn’t realize how rare. I wonder if any law school class has dissected this case.

It is great that people are still sending Michael cards and letters. I bet they make him smile.
Here is the information on where to send stuff.
