Michael/ Lauren civil trial update February 9

Since Sceusi decreed that LK’s deposition can happen remotely, then I’m thinking that many of the other depositions will be via Zoom. Of course, the attorneys will have to arrange for a suitable location, equipment, etc. -

She made an argument that she was particularly vulnerable to Covid , I thought. Because of the gunshot wound she suffered in 2019.

I’m not sure that argument applies to other witnesses. But maybe Zoom will be allowed, in order to keep down costs, and expedite discovery.

Of course, the attorneys will have to arrange for a suitable location, equipment, etc. - and that won’t be free.

So in that case, the more general question would be, who is responsible for all those costs? The plaintiff?

@CurrentlyHorseless

A horse clearing a 51% “bar” would have indicated the preponderance of the evidence “standard”, and would have been, well, more horsey.

Horses in jumping competitions incur penalties if they don’t clear 100% of each hurdle. They don’t get a pass on a jump if they only clear 51% of it. Since incurred penalties could knock a horse completely out of contention for the win, your horsey analogy doesn’t exactly work the way you think it does.

The party calling the witness.

Lauren Kanarek is not known for being honest or truthful so… I guess it is expected that the information if fully inaccurate.

The legal eagles can confirm, but I’m guessing that if it is SGF’s witness, SGF’s attorney has to pay. If it is MB’s witness, then his attorney has to pay. And so on. (Of course, the attorneys will pass the costs on to their clients.)

And just like that, @ekat answered before I could hit Reply.

So you agree that LO is essentially a battered woman being taken advantage of? That’s not a good look.

[Danvers]

Way far behind - thank you @evtrmom can never have enough Boyd Martin interruptions… sigh…

Oh… what @SierraMist implied about LO was far nastier than that.

She implied that LO was some sort of nutty criminal fan girl, who is now in a relationship with MB because of his notoriety.

[Omgitsme]

I read it differently. Either way, a gross accusation.

Sierra Mist expressed concern that LO was being taken advantage of by MB. I did not see where she said LO was a battered woman.

I trust SMs statements on legal matters. Her concerns for LO
being taken advantage of does not into that category.

SierraMist is one of my favorite posters.

Re the wiretapping. If wiretapping proved the fine seemed rather low, I thought I saw posted here $100 a day topping off at 1k.
And then it appeared damages
can be awarded. If I remember correctly MB was not aware of the wiretapping until after the incident. He had spent at some time a great deal $ on sweeps of the grounds(seemed they didn’t find anything.) Appreciate if anyone knows what damages MB is claiming in his civil suit due to wiretapping . Corrections and responses welcomed. Thank you.

That’s not how I interpreted it.

I think you are both right. There was more than one gross post on the subject.

I find it amusing that our resident twister is going to believe the person who is in theory lawyer barred in three states but does not know how is deposed first.

I am sure even Jonathan Kanarek (@Inigo-montoya) knows the answer to that question.

I think it is actual damages or $100 per day.

I’m also curious as to what dollar figure he would put on “actual damages”.

I’m not the resident twister, @trubandloki. You are.

If you could respond to my posts without quoting snippets of a sentence that deliberately reverses the meaning I’d think you would.

Not the quality of the artwork, the decision to draw a pie instead of a horse clearing a 51% hurdle.

A horse clearing a 51% “bar” would have indicated the preponderance of the evidence “standard”, and would have been, well, more horsey. The pie is great for the division of liability at the end, but not for the clearing the bar at the first stage.

Yes doing that is so not fetch.

Another one of Jonathan Kanarek’s (@Inigo-montoya) posts that did not age well.

Item 3 is yet another example of the Kanarek family talking about sharing the illegal recordings with anyone and everyone they can.
