Michael/ Lauren civil trial update February 9

I have a question. How did the judge determine there wasn’t enough evidence to support self defence, I’d the defence hadn’t yet put forth a defence??

I’m thinking you like It’s A Wonderful Life based on your name.

I remember MB said upon request “I had a good life”. Similar but not the same.

IM says “both made terrible remarks to each other”.

He characterizes what LK said to GJ as “terrible”. I used the word “horrific”. He didn’t condemn her remarks as strongly as I did, but he did condemn them.

Per the courtroom audio, the Judge wouldn’t allow a lot of information and facts of record to be entered into evidence or brought up in the trial, all of which pertained to the personal history of LK and RG. Those would have been the foundation for MB’s defense and shown that LK and RG were violent, disreputable individuals who routinely engaged in behavior that was anti-social and against the laws and morals of society.

Sigh. Even pictures didn’t help.

Are you tripling down on the bolded sentence?

Or is it the case LK can recover some damages even if no individual defendant is found at least 51% responsible?

That information and those facts will be allowed in the civil proceedings so it’s not surprising that the Kanareks are dragging their collective feet.

They are between a rock and a hard place of their own making.

I don’t know how many different ways to say it. I even drew pictures. LK cannot collect against any individual defendant that is not found to be more responsible than her. If she is individually found to be 51% responsible for her claims against each individual defendant, she gets zip.

Is that clear enough? I can try to draw it out again. Maybe a different color?

I think CH is trying to make this cumulative.

I’ve always understood your statement in bold. That’s not the issue.

It seems you do not want to maintain the claim that she has to establish an individual defendant, such as MB, is at least 51% responsible for her injuries in order to collect.

I think we are in agreement.

Please no more pictures.

Yeah, a very successful business woman who worked extremely hard, working multiple jobs (including cleaning Lauren’s house), is highly respected in the horse show community, paid cash for her new home in FL, and has many negative experiences with The Princess. Of course daddy has to attempt to smear her.

I think that further explanation is futile and thus a waste of your time. We all get it (except one.)

Hopefully the K’s understand it by now. I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes. What do you think about their chances of recovering anything from any of the defendants? I can’t see her getting a dime from SGF or RC. I think anything she could get from Barisone would be minuscule once his counterclaim is presented and argued. JMHO.

In my opinion:

SGF = Nil. I don’t see how those claims survive.

RC = slightly higher than Nil.

MB = honestly, depending on the jury, and how all the witnesses do, and what evidence makes it in, I can see a jury buying into his defenses and tipping the scales to LK being 51% responsible. So, I could see him winning on her claim AND winning on his counterclaim.

Specifically, this defense gives me pause.

That wiretapping claim though…that one is going to be interesting with all the boasting LK has done about those recordings.

Rock and Hard Place is correct.
