Michael/ Lauren civil trial update February 9

[Jillsmith]

I had a “squirrel” moment last night during my insomnia, and I’m hoping someone can help. Near the end of the trial, I remember Judge Taylor questioning MB about something and saying something along the line of “are you sure you want to do that”. MB responded along the line of “I’ll do whatever my attorney has recommended “. Taylor asked again if he was sure.
Anyone remember this?

Yes. It was about declining the plea deal and/or the media being in the court room.

I thought it was when Mr Bilinkas was arguing not to have lesser charges included?

[Sdel]

Possibly all of the above?

At the end of the trial, it’s right here, at approx 1:29:00

WATCH LIVE: NJ v Michael Barisone Trial Day 10 - Charge Conference

It’s possible they had a similar discussion about the plea and media in the courtroom, but I haven’t seen any of the stuff that happened before the trial.

[Sdel]

I know it happened in at least one of the hearings before the trial as well. I’m thinking it was when MB argued with the judge to stay in jail if the trial didn’t happen on time.

I think the fiancé malarkey was also for the benefit of KK’s social status with the country club and Bible study group. I can’t imagine she would like the term “shacking up” used in her circle.

[Knights_Mom]

We always just used the term paramour.

I wonder if the country club Bibley crowd will enjoy watching the civil trial? I’m thinking the term fiancé just isn’t gonna fix THAT.

I literally just saw that video last night and was crying laughing so hard.

“I’m here, I’m not a cat”

[eggbutt]

I wonder if her ex-MIL still has an active restraining order against LK?

I think the confusion you are having is that the person is asking about something that happened at the end of the trial, so it likely the video that @ekat posted, which is from the end of the trial.

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.

Interesting that MBs divorce was as late as 2017 or 2018. It seems from court testimony that he was with MHG during some of that period of time.

Nevertheless, it sounds like his marriage to Vera created a successful partnership while it lasted.

It’s not just Lk and RG. It’s having Daddio on Patio and KK get wind of some social event they decide to show up at. And that recent rumor about him writing nasty grams tto BNTs? And that sniff test they failed at Wellington social outings they muscled into, also. Talk about persona non grata. Who wants any of them sniffing around your locker?

This gave me a thought… just a theory (you can call it the movie in my head if you want, because calling it that seems to make it OK to post just about anything).
Maybe that is why Jonathan Kanarek (@Inigo-montoya) and Kirby Kanarek (@Seeker1) are down in Florida. Long distance threats were not working so Daddio on the Patio made a trip down to solve some problem that his daughter, Lauren Kanarek, had, that needed a little more strong arm tactic when her usual threats were not getting the attention she wanted.

Interesting…since the scene in the Wellington area is reaching fever pitch with many open houses (facilities) at Uber top barns, and parties galore, perhaps the K’s are attempting to horn in on such festivities and occasions to make themselves known, since they seem to be completely forgotten in the area. The perpetrator has been all but forgotten in most circles. What is that saying, out of sight out of mind?

[eggbutt]

So the tangent for today might be Vera and MB. Well, at least that was the toss up in regard to LK’s marriage. How I would like to reply to the gnat, but I will restrain.

That’s a really interesting post CH.

Do you think MB’s attorneys should make a focused effort to implead RG?

My statement that it was a head scratcher that MBs attorneys had not impleaded RG long ago was sarcasm, VHM.

MBs attorneys would have to be fantasists to implead RG. I don’t think they’re fantasists or idiots, so I don’t think they will try to spin one of those stories in which RG is responsible.

If they did believe one of those fantasies, though, they would implead RG as part of their defense of MB.

Note that the liability of SGF and RC is not really affected by whether LK was shot by MB, RG, or by accident.

Note also that LK could implead RG as the liable party in MBs countersuit. That would reduce her % liability for the recordings, and LK would not be liable for the award against RG, if there is one. The fact that she hasn’t done so suggests she’s not that worried about the counter suit.

The whole “RG is not named in the suit because he’s penniless” is wrong. RG is not named in the suit because MBs lawyers can’t credibly pin responsibility for shooting LK on him.

How different things would be if the civil suit were tried on COTH on the basis of the majority of “likes”!

So…another day, another opportunity….

Getting to practice early today.

[trubandloki]

It seems so weird to me that it is so hard for some people to understand the simplest of facts that Robert Guy Goodwin/Jim E Stark/Superman is not named in this civil suit anywhere because Lauren Kanarek did not name him.

And even I understand that Lauren Kanarek can not implead RGG/JES/SM in the wiretapping counterclaim, only Michael can. So many great instructions posted here on how all that works. I wonder why some people just refuse to read them?

I’m guessing whenever their divorce became official, there were probably no restraining orders involved. For the in-laws, either.

I wonder if the smear campaign was intended to try to encourage Vera to speak out against MB somehow?

Your entire statement is flawed by the premise that LK acts in a logical, precise, sensible, correct, efficient manner.

The fact that she does or doesn’t do something due to her superior mental 15D calculation skills is utterly destroyed by the fact that all she had to do WAS LEAVE.

So now you’re spinning that hamster wheel trying to persuade us that her every move comes from a place of intention and planning.

The word absurd doesn’t even begin to describe it!
