Michael/ Lauren civil trial update February 9

There were quite a few arrests weren’t there, for Kanarek and for the boyfriend?

If I remember correctly, that was one of the discoveries that, along with the Suboxone use, quite understandably upset and frightened Mr. Barisone.

Agree - how does Taylor get away with this?

And her dad! And her mom!

Now I wonder if the sisters also had arrest records.

Underage drinking for one, but nothing major.

Yes, that’s what I remember. Judge Taylor incorrectly instructed the jury that the defendant had a duty to retreat before shooting in self defense, and Bilinkas as the defense lawyer could have challenged the judges jury instructions at the time, but didn’t. His client was convicted of murder.

A public defender then filed an appeal on the grounds that Taylor was incorrect in instructing the jury that the defendant had a duty to retreat, and the conviction was overturned. The defendant then accepted a plea deal rather than go through a second trial.

My point was to disagree with @eggbutt characterization of the appeal as Bilinkas “whooping” Taylor. Bilinkas screwed up and a different lawyer, a public defender, got the conviction overturned.

Enjoying the vacay to Florida? Or is it a working trip? Predictable.

They’re not. A homeowner who undertakes a permitted renovation will hire a licensed contractor.

I wonder if they can answer subpoenas from FL. Hopefully they have internet access!

Everyone is young and stupid at some point in time. When people don’t seem to learn from their experiences is when it becomes a problem.

I don’t think it’s nice to drag the siblings into this. They’ve not come on COTH and been foolish like JK, KK and LK have, and they had nothing to do with Barisone matter like RG did.

I wouldn’t dare! Your opinions blow in the wind, or change as someone directs you to revise your opinions.

I wasn’t being nice. I was implying that your snideness failed.

So why didn’t MBs crack legal team pursue all those violations committed by Judge Taylor. I’m guessing Bilinkas and Deininger are better versed in the legalities than you or I or @Ekat.

Didn’t people here file official complaints against Taylor on the issue, and got no support from the system higher up? I suppose the judicial review people are corrupt and dancing to JKs tune as well. /s

Wonder if they are headed for a cruise again.

Must be a working trip….

You know…those deposition are to be done soon. I wonder if GAS told them to produce or go study up. That might explain the sudden fervor…the sudden realization as to what is in all that discovery turned over by MCPO…

Oh wow! So many reasons they would be having fun in FL! That is interesting for sure. It is ironic how these threads somehow predict when mom & dad have flown the coop for one reason or another!

OK. What is an example of my “failed snide-ness”, KM?

How do you know they haven’t? I don’t know one way or the other, but I’m not going to presume one way or the other, either.

Ahhhh, rehearsing their stories! Maybe they are having a reunion with everyone who heard or saw or had a copy of the audio/video recordings!

Sure you did. You said “yadda, yadda, yadda, and you know it.”

Please refrain from attempting to tell me what I know.
