Michael/ Lauren civil trial update February 9

Then what is your interpretation of @Virginia_Horse_Mom ominously talking about JK being “added” to MBs counterclaim at this point?

I don’t believe I have ever referenced the whole theory about there being a ‘Finish the Bastard’ plot. But maybe there’s a particular post of mine you are thinking about that you are remembering? Feel free to refresh my memory.

As my capo , @Knights_Mom , has said, MBs civil action is in the form of a counterclaim right now. So there’s that.

With that said, I doubt he will ever bother pursuing RG in civil court. I don’t think RG has any resources to speak of, and even if MB won a judgement, I doubt RG would ever satisfy it financially.

What are your thoughts about RGs ability to actually pay a judgement if a civil case went against him?

Me too, personally, but since she’s been there for a year already it doesn’t sound like she’s causing much trouble

Perhaps NJ allows impleading additional defendants on the counterclaim. VHM said to bring them into the case. But it was YOU who called it a counterclaim. It isn’t. It’s impleading additional defendants. I doubt anyone would bother with the assetless RG. And proof of JKs culpability may not be there yet but future evidence might change that.

Sounds like somebody’s on a fishing trip! I hope they have the appropriate license

Hasn’t it been longer than that by now? I may have lost track.

Yes, the impleading issue. IANAL, so if I referenced somehow adding JK to the counterclaim in an earlier post, it’s merely a matter of me mangling legal terminology.

I thought the impleading issue came up on an earlier thread once we all realized that the illegal wiretapping was going to be a significant issue for all of the Ks and their associate?

I’ve always thought that the parents are working from a standpoint of guilt. Who knows why.

Was she a “difficult” child and they spent her childhood sweeping up behind her?

Did they feel guilty about her bad auto accident as an older teen that maybe led to her addiction?

They have enabled her, no doubt. I think they “hired” RG to be her guardian angel.

I don’t know, I just think it is guilt on Jk/KK’s part. What happens when they are no longer around? She’s 40 years old. What’s going to happen when she is 55 years old?

I do t think they need to bring RG into the Counterclaim to get all the info they need from him. That’s all he’s worth, is getting the true story about of him. They can do that with subpoenas and depositions, can’t they? I have to say, I think they probably already have. I would think they are using all the material they have, plus RG as the foundation of their case against LK, and so as a foundation for their deposition of her. Remember, every question they will ask has already been answered, somewhere, and RG is the key to everything that happened.

I thought she brought her horses there in 2020?

That would make it almost 3 years.

If so, @BigMama1 has a good point - LK seems to have managed to keep the peace at the barn.

What would be his motivation for helping the authorities? Other than, you know, being a good citizen.

Well, the elder Ks won’t be around anymore. I always wondered if they hired RG and that’s how he became hooked on the smack. I just don’t think they would have hired an addict to watch an addict.

Depends on his level of complicity in what transpired. Who knows what they could be hanging over his head. What with the illegal wiretapping crossing state lines, the running up to The Meadowlands to score for him and LK when she got out of the hospital (as that’s what I belive he did) and any other number of drug charges, a possible “we can make that whole unlicensed contractor thing go away”, who knows what they could use to get at RG.

You said it mostly right. It is on a counterclaim but you’re impleading in additional named parties who carry responsibility according to person filing.

But your post was envisioning JK being “added” to MBs counterclaim, putting their home snd nest egg at risk, correct?

If @Knights_Mom, a “legal professional” has stated that MB cannot counter sue anyone other than a plaintiff, doesn’t that mean JK can’t be “added” to the counter suit?

The argument that MB is not suing RG because he doesn’t have assets, doesn’t apply to JK, correct?

I don’t know and don’t care what RGs assets are. For all I know, he had a childless uncle who left him $3,000,000 last week.

Also, you don’t have to anticipate actually getting money out of a defendent to justify impleading them. If it gives you weight which wins your case. But on the other hand, if it doesn’t, it’s better not to make your case too complicated, if ypu can get the same outcome by extracting what ypu want from them as a witness orher ways.

You think I’m “fishing” tor information on whether JK will be added to the counter suit?

LOL. No. I think it’s a silly notion, not a scary one.

Not at all what I said. Read better.

This is a good point - that RG is useful beyond simply getting a settlement out of him, but the risk is the case becoming unwieldy.

I would imagine they will inevitably depose him, whether they implead him or not. Given his and Lollypop’s ongoing addiction issues… I think it’s inevitable that they will contradict one another, and some of their prior statements under oath on the witness stand during the criminal trial. And if the civil case actually ever does go to court? Their testimony is going to be impeached all over again. Only worse this time.

The more these two talk under oath… in a deposition or a courtroom… the worse the civil case gets for LK. They screw things up every time they open their mouths… because they have already told so many lies and exaggerations, they can’t keep any of it straight.

And one thing is for sure. The attorneys all know it, and MBs side are licking their chops over impeaching these two all over again.
