Not exactly what I meant, but I see what you did there!

So if MB had wanted to sue either RG or JK, he could have “impleaded” in the original suit and his claim against them would simply be called a cross claim instead of a counter claim?
Now that we have the terminology down, @Virginia_Horse_Mom, what has changed that should make JK concerned that he will be “added” to the suit, when neither Barisone nor SGF named him as a defendant in their original answer to LKs suit?
Did those posts on COTH well after the shooting harm MB in some way?
Generally you implead a party after discovery, which is when you discover that there was another party who may share responsibility…

If it were to be proven, via texts, emails, audio/video recording, etc that JK was part of the conspiracy to destroy Michael Barisone, what would next steps be against him?
What do most believe is the real reason he and KK have completely ignored the subpoenas legally served on them?
Personally, I think LK is wicked enough to plan such a scheme but I believe she would have needed extensive help in putting her plan in motion and escalating the next steps.
I also believe had Heymer not arrived on the scene when he did, RG would have murdered Michael Barisone. I believe his hatred was that intense toward Barisone for many reasons.

If criminal conspiracy among multiple parties is shown I would hope that barring Statute of Limitations issues, the parties would be looked into by the State or higher up if jurisdictional boundaries were crossed.
But IANAL

Well, it’s clear from the court filings so far, that MBs attorneys want an answer to the subpoenas they have served JK and KK, and then they plan on deposing JK.
In the meantime… they obviously have Lollypop’s depo to do, and I assume they will be deposing RG between now and March as well.
I’m sure there are other parties who will participate in discovery as well.
I suspect by mid March, we will know if JK will be impleaded or not.
Ignoring the subpoenas seems to be all about delaying and hiding things. If it goes on much longer, my guess is that it will come back to bite JK. He probably should be getting his own attorney at this point.
I totally agree with you that if Heymer didn’t show up when he did, MB might have died.
I totally agree that RG had a SERIOUS amount of rage for MB. The beating he gave him was not simply about disarming him. I agree… there were likely multiple reasons.
Question for you. Were LK and RG engaged in August of 2019? Or was the whole “fiancé” title something that came in when they filed the civil suit, and started doing media like that NYT article before the actual criminal trial?
It does seem clear now that no wedding is happening anytime soon. Did they officially call off the engagement? Or did it just sort of quietly fizzle?

Just a guess on my part but fiancee sounds more official than boyfriend. A fiancee carries a higher relational status.

Agreed. But again… it’s just more dishonesty with these people.
It’s a problem for the civil suit. They routinely lie about things. Little things, big things. It’s habitual.

Very true.
And lest we forget, all she had to do was leave.

To my knowledge their “engagement” was simply words of convenience for the press.

“Fiance” was just narrative control from the Kanareks, to make it seem like she was a beautiful innocent belle robbed of her promising future with a heroic stud muffin of a man. She went back to calling him boyfriend some time after MB was arraigned and you can see that in her posts. Also, calling him “Fiance” sort of dips into that “spousal privilege” bit that makes it so they can’t be forced to testify against one another, but that doesn’t actually apply to them in NJ or anywhere else as far as I know, so whether or not they knew that when they started throwing out the term, is up for debate.

“beautiful innocent belle” and “heroic stud muffin”
How long was her original marriage to Jack (at least that’s what I thought his name was)?

As a defendant (like MB), as I understand it you can implead another party if you want to claim that party bears some liability for what you as defendant are being sued for. Example: if RG jumped MB, and the gun went off accidentally, or if RG shot LK to set up MB, wouldn’t MB implead RG as being responsible for the shooting? In terms of claiming that RG bore some or all of the responsibility for LK being shot, it doesn’t matter to MB if RG is penniless, correct? Having the jury decide RG is 40% liable reduces the % liability assessed against MB, RC, snd SGF. If RG can’t pay the award to LK, that’s LKs problem, not MBs.
Gosh, it’s really a head scratcher that MB has not impleaded RG long ago.
Leaving aside impleading RG to share responsibility for LK getting shot (that is, for his defense), if MB wants to sue RG for his role in the psychological torture and the recordings, calling the BD, etc, would that also be considered impleading?

I have no information about their marriage, but the divorce was in late 2007 and she is said to have been residing in NC for some years by that time, after abandoning college studies in Virginia and her family in NJ. There is nothing in the University’s public records about her attending or participating in anything like the college sports she claimed to have been doing that got her injured, so other public information is all there is to go on.

Interesting the divorce was that late. It seems from online info that she was with RG during some of that period of time.
I guess it wasn’t much of a marriage.
