UPDATES! Michael Barisone Released! FREEDOM! Plus Insurance Settlement

I was not in the courtroom and am relying on what was said in the Jaffer article.

So, you think someone with zero memory of an event should just fake it? I donā€™t think any psychiatrist would agree with that.

No, there was no forensic evidence presented to support that. It remains a fact that two drug addicts, with changing stories, one of which admitted to lying, claim that he shot a woman who had set out to #finishthebastard. For all we know, they were trying to kill him and only stopped when the police arrived.

As far as social media overall in this case, I think itā€™s been fantastic for MB and likely helped his outcome

First, MBs situation removed him from any possibility of being active on SM in his own defence.

Second, his inner circle showed real class and did not get down in the trenches of SM on any platform.

Third, LO started a GoFundMe that was able to rally support while being very discreet.

But the big wins for MB were from the fact that not only Lala but poppa and momma bear and possibly a few sibs were BSC active everywhere and left a paper trail that showed them up for what they were. It was a genuine surprise to me when the now banned posters on COTH turned out to be real momma and poppa, not trolls.

SM gave Lala and her clan the rope they needed to hang themselves and destroy any lingering image of the poor little victim girl.

This was an epic trainwreck hurtling and spitting sparks across multiple SM platforms, and any suspicion that COTH in particular was somehow biased in favor of the BNT was quashed when Lala went to other SM forums and random members of the public saw through her immediately in far stronger terms than we are actually allowed to use here

So Lala is ironically very much responsible for MBs vindication through showing the world who she really is.

I donā€™t know whatā€™s at stake for the last lone Lala supporter on COTH or for the folks who engage at frankly tedious and unreadable length. But it can be hard for people to let go of an argument they are personally invested in, in whatever the way. On SM people donā€™t need to have an actual personal interest or link in a debate, they can turn into pitbulls because the argument over whatever gives them a dopamine rush. CH could be a Lala intimate or just a person who locked jaws on a random topic years ago and has no ability to release. It actually doesnā€™t matter. But itā€™s clear they canā€™t step away from wrangling, nor indeed can several other folks here. I think after a certain point you just need to walk away from SM debates with anonymous posters on any platform, because trollishness is contagious to a certain extent

Letā€™s just all say goodbye to CH. Micheal is free, the trial is over and there is NO sense is going back and forth with someone who is just here to create a back and forth that has been done to death.

Omg.

Iā€™ve seen some crazy things happen in the horse business. But not that crazy! Lol.

Exactly. And if you (g) still feel a sense of urgency and importance in engaging with the last Lala supporter, Iā€™d do a deep personal dive and try to recognize that it does not matter now and the two of you are engaged in a debate that (a) exists only to give both of you a dopamine rush; (b) does not matter or make sense to the rest of us; and Ā© is encouraging the last supporter to continue on being a troll and trying to push buttons.

Suppose for the sake of argument that he genuinely does not have a memory of the actual shooting.

He nevertheless apparently has learned the facts of what happened from talking to his lawyers and psychiatrists. Thankfully they are not feeding his delusions and helped him to free himself of them.

He sat in the trial and listened to LK and RG lie their faces off just like the rest of us. He may not remember the event, but he certainly remembers what happened before and what they were doing, and how they were or were not truthful about those things. Plus he has all the text evidence and recordings that we didnā€™t have access to about what they were planning to do to him.

Weā€™ll know more about how much that is when his side is free to start talking.

So yes, he has facts about ā€œwhat happenedā€. Facts a random nobody doesnā€™t have.

Ah - there it is.

The ridiculous and inaccurate phrase repeated endlessly throughout these threadsā€¦ used to defend actual ā€œpleasure of hateā€ as performed endlessly by someone who is very troubled and seems to revel in such things - and none of her own behavior helps LK in any way.

I am still waiting for my subpoena. Or any of the bombshell threats to actuallyā€¦ you knowā€¦ happen.

But by all means - carry on.

Full disclosure: I take pleasure in hating black licorice. Or anything that tastes like that. It is vile. It is an abomination.

The hearing yesterday was not about LK. It was about Michael Barisone only.

The outcome of the hearing was that MB could continue his treatment in a less restrictive environment, must remain in NJ, could not have guns, and could not contact LK.

This makes MB better off without harming LK in any way.

Unless LK likes to indulge in schadenfreude, why should she prefer MB confined to a psychiatric facility as opposed to released as long as her safety is assured?

Big narrative change. None of the Krol hearings have ever been about LK. That didnā€™t stop mommy and daddy K from being there before.

Well said. The wreckage that has been strewn behind her across multiple SM platforms has beenā€¦ sad and alarming.

So why were they at every other hearing?

If Krol hearings were not about LK, why did she have a victimā€™s advocate at the other Krol hearing with her parents?

Why did LK brag in various other places about giving a ā€œvictimā€™s impact statementā€ at a Krol hearing?

Enlighten us @CurrentlyHorseless! Please do!

If the public is permitted to attend, the Kanareks have just as much right to attend as cutter or knights mom or anyone else.

The judge took into account LKs interests by making it a conditional release, with conditions being staying in NJ, no access to guns, and no contact with LK. It was the stateā€™s responsibility to represent the interests of LK and the broader public, and apparently they did.

Hint, hint: I think the idea that the Ks are going to try to mess with MB now that heā€™s released was always a given. Of course they are thrilled and looking forward to the second shot at the apple. They are predictable in that way. No one needs to stick around to issue the dire warnings in code. Thanks for the heads up on the plan though.

I dunno. She has been bragging, boasting and wallowing in the pleasure of that all over SM. I am sure it was bragged about to 48 Hours and Netflix as well. You can ask her that question - maybe on her FB page or on Youtube.

Why on earth would he even want to contact her?? I think that the reverse should be of far more concernā€¦ because no one puts Baby in a corner.

Schadenfreude would be a great name for a dressage horse.

Iā€™m sorry, I must have missed the part where his lawyers and psychiatrists were witnesses to the index incident. Are you saying there was concrete forensic evidence of what happened that was NOT presented in the trial but was presented to the psychiatrists at Greystone?

Well, Lollipop sent her transcripts along to Ann Klein according to YT. And the judge in the police trial also got a packet of some sort of ā€œevidenceā€ courtesy of her agent (wonder who that was). And Judge Taylor also had ā€œall the evidenceā€ before it was presented at trial so he knew who was lying and who was telling the truth during testimonyā€¦.

Itā€™s sad to see that what should be happy thread is devolving into the pointless back and forth of previous threads.

The ignore feature works.
