So here we go again.
Her “alleged horribleness” was what drove him insane and his insanity at the time resulted in a shooting in which she was badly injured. It doesn’t matter whether he deliberately shot her or whether she was shot in a tussle over the gun, the fact remains that she was the catalyst.
And despite Taylor’s efforts to prevent much of LK’s “behavior” from being brought up in court, Mr. B was able to present enough evidence of her “horribleness” toward MB that the jury believed MB was insane at the time, where previous to LK’s campaign of “horribleness,” he had been a successful, law-abiding, respected member of the community who had built a notable career and business. The defense witnesses that appeared on MB’s behalf drove home that point as well as the fact that despite setbacks such as an expensive divorce, MB was weathering the storms of life - until LK launched her campaign of “horribleness” against him and broke him.
Add to the above the probability that at least some jurors weren’t totally convinced by the convoluted and contradictory stories told by the two lying drug addict grifters who were the only eye witnesses - one of whom gave multiple glimpses during her testimony of her “horribleness” toward MB.
Ergo, the jury deemed MB to not be criminally liable because of his insanity. And I and many, many other people believe that if the jury were polled and spoke freely, most or all of them would state that they fully believed LK was the match AND the powder trail that led to the powder keg SHE had created.
All the evidence that we know about so far points to the fact that it was LK’s “horribleness” toward MB that drove him over the edge. The criminal jury recognized he was over the edge when the shooting occurred, and the civil jury will recognize that it was her “horribleness” that pushed him over the edge. I have no doubt that Mr. D and Mr. Silver are going to absolutely convince the civil jury that LK was more than 51% liable for the incident that led to her injuries. They are going to expose so much of LK’s “horribleness” - along with the fact that her parents were aiding and abetting her - that the K’s are going to regret filing that lawsuit.
(If necessary, I can make a flowchart to make all this simpler to understand. )
