This is a cautionary tale about how everyone should do a background check before allowing anyone to live on their property. It’s hard to get someone off your property once they’re living there.
Once they receive mail to the property, they live there. Also, a cautionary tale about having a contract that protects you, and your business, which included Michael's home. A contract covering a 30, 60, and 90-day review of the status of the training & and if the training is beneficial. This protects both parties & gives Michael an out if they are scumbags or on her part if she isn't satisfied with the training. Of course, these are my thoughts after the fact.
@@missmaggie2620 Good point. Its rather pathetic that trusting people to live with you or in a property you own requires so much legal jargon paper work to make the government red tape look like first grade assignments. Then to add insult to injury. The law backs up the defendants! Handshake bond is a ghost of the past..
The defense lawyer had an uphill battle on his hands once the judge refused to allow both Lauren's criminal past and her social media posts against Michael to be heard by the jury. Kudos to the whole defense team!
Absolutely. Next time I'm accused of attempted murder following repeated insults and unjustified accusations in person and on social media, forced out of my own home, diminished and discredited professionally, faced with hostile tenants I can't seem to evict, and bopped over the head with a mobile phone, I'm definitely going to enlist their help.
Unbelievable that her past crimes and behaviour were inadmissible. Watching her in the witness box, no wonder her own attorney said to discount the disgust of Lauren.
And to use to excuse that she had nowhere to go with her 5 horses, while only paying for 2, only to find out Michael’s attorney had found someplace 5 miles away for her and her horses with another Olympian level trainer?! She’s a real piece of work and her moocher boyfriend is just as bad!
@@pinkfluffydino8217 yeah she had a lot of nerve, saying Michael was using her for money 😮 when in reality she was paying a pittance for lodging for 2 adults and five horses and her dog PLUS training for $5 k a month! She knew she would never get such a deal anywhere else! So she squatted ! I bet they weren’t even paying the 5k!!
Dude shot her and got away with it because he's rich, and all you cucks think justice was served. Fact is, none of you would've gotten away with what he did. There's no justice unless it's equal.
@@nicolaxoxo1 - Excellent point. She was paying basically nothing. She drove the man out of his own home and squatted in his house while plotting to destroy his life (which she admitted in court). She had plenty of daddy's money and could have left anytime she wanted.
If Lauren truly feared for her safety, she should have just left the premises. It's not as if she didn't have the means or opportunity to do so. No, she had to continue making Michael's life a complete misery. What she did to this decent man who had accomplished so much in HIS life, is unforgivable. My thoughts & prayers are with Michael & his family. Wishing him a full recovery!!
Your work is so professional we love it in Adelaide australia you give us the case straight out no jibber jabber that makes us turn off so thank you for your work and care
Her dad had financial means to relocate her and her horses somewhere else. She is a deranged narcissist princess who's used to getting her way every time. He literally drove him crazy.
She had her right to not be harassed by a grown man while also taking care of her horses that’s her right that doesn’t give aright to a mentally unstable freak to go and shoot her because he can’t force someone whom he has a agreement with off the property when she has rights herself that he obviously didn’t care about
lol. You must be smoking the same crack as Lauren, if that's your take on it. But looking at your deranged comment, atrocious use of punctuation and retarded grammar. I'm going to go ahead and guess, that you are in fact Lauren. Posting a supportive comment under a pseudonym, because your narcissistic ego cant stand the fact that no one is on your side. No one believes you and now no one ever will, your a failure, a hack and a petty criminal. The only thing you will ever be good at, is being despised, unfortunately for you that is not an Olympic sport. Admittedly, my take on your comment could be way off and your just a crazy troll that actually supports her (I'm not a narcissist so I can admit to being wrong) But I think it is way more likely that you and your chode boyfriend are the culprits behind this post. I'm also pretty sure you deliberately placed the CPS call, knowing it would lure him up to the house. Your boyfriend attacked him from behind, you two knocked Michael out, staged the scene, called 911 and then your boyfriend (ex marine) shot you with two non lethal shots. I think, if he was packing, it was only for self defense. I think that shot through the door, was possibly when he was attacked from behind by your boyfriend. You also tried to access his phone while he was unconscious, thinking you could unlock it with his fingerprint. But he had password protection. And that is why you dialed 911 from his phone, because you thought that would unlock it (dam you are stupid) Like I said I could be wrong, but one thing is for sure, your riding isn't even intermediate. @@Redfern4
I was afraid to watch and read the comments, but im so relieved the case was delivered so fairly, and that the viewers see it the way us horsey people saw it. She was a bully and a harasser, and the jury got it right. I rode with Michael years ago, on my pony sized Morgan (I do not have the same kinds of funds for my horse habit as lauren... LOL) We were chosen for a demo rider at the equine affaire. He was so kind, patient, and funny as hell. I hope he gets his life back and heals.
I hope the horse world black balls her so she can’t do this again at someone else’s farm! Paying $5000 a month for housing for 2 adults plus a dog and then board for 2 horses PLUS training and she had the nerve to complain and say he was using her ??!! Then she brings in 3 more horses 😮 🤦♀️ She is another Amber Heard! She not only 😊wanted everything for free but she enjoyed destroying his life in the process. Just a guess, but I bet she is a lousy rider too!
Yes, I don’t usually side with the perpetrator but Lauren was a bully and we all have our breaking point. The police should have intervened when Michael called them and things wouldn’t have escalated.
According to the end of the video, he snapped back to being able to cope, really fast! I personally think it's because he got away from the stressful nightmare she created for him. I hope his lawyers beat her in court! This guy has been put through the ringer!
The woman is crazy enough to destroy a successful man just because she wanted to be like him. So jealous and hateful. I am really scared of her. So evil
The whole look presented in court looks very fake to me. Especially given his quick recovery that looks to be an act. To me it looks like there is no good actor here. This level of intensity is not unseen in the breakup of relationships including these allegations towards cps. This basically makes it acceptable to shoot the other party in these situations as long as you are wealthy and can pay for those experts.
I dont understand why Lauren didnt leave as soon as she saw she wasnt happy with the situation. She had the money to move, why did she refuse to & make trouble instead? Her dad hasnt done her any favours by spoiling her rotten.
@@nevermindthe Absolutely agree - if she really had those olympic aspirations and would not get what she expected, she should move on and maybe sue for damages. Same is true for Michael though - if you (sub) lease parts of your home to people, you don't just get hotel guests you can throw out at any time. If you get yourself tenants into your house as a 50+ Olympic Millionaire success story up-to-that-point or whatever, you _have to_ be aware of the consequences. If you are not: That part is definitely on you!
She’s shady as hell. I don’t believe a word she said, and Lauren and her boyfriend should be in jail. I hope Michael can recover from this a lead a happy life.
That poor man, you can hear the desperation in his voice on the phone call to the police 😔 Lauren sounds like a vile little human, no sympathy for her 😤 Oh my god, seeing Michael in court, heartbreaking 😩💔
Wow...Lauren & her boyfriend are every trainer and landlord's worst nightmare. I cannot imagine what all Michael was subjected to in order for him & his girlfriend to move out of his own home AND for them to send his girlfriend's child somewhere else to stay because they were worried for that kid's safety. I'm so glad the jury saw right through Lauren & her boyfriend.
Unbelievable Mr. and Ms. scumbag as I mentioned in one of the other comments I really hope they live this life to realize what absolute pieces of filth they are
@@aykfcshe has “gun violence survivor & political activist” in her bio lmao She’s such a clown…& ofc her page is on lockdown now, Bc she can’t handle the public telling her she’s wrong.
@@paulinejackson5861 no but making false reports such as telling CPS he was abusing young children is the work of a psychopath. She deliberately set out to ruin his life
She was playing the "Petite ,oh so fragile, indefensive" woman for way too long, when she was the real bully and abuser. It's incredible how this evil worm ruined the career, life and reputation of this man. Hope he would get his life back and that this woman learned her lesson, but I doubt it! Psychopaths will do what psychopaths do until they die...
I am 1000 percent team Michael on this. I feel so bad for both him and his family. I appreciate and enjoy all the work you do on your videos! Love from Canada 🇨🇦
OMG....Yes, she is and more. What an evil, manipulative, and disgusting person. To do that to a person in his own home😡 and ruin his and his families lives.
That verdict was fair. You cannot mentally torture people then play the victim when the consequences of YOUR actions arrive. She f*cked around and found out. I really hope Michael gets the support he needs. I hope his friends family and community shower him with love and understanding.
Nope. He fucked around and found out. In fact, he is still finding out. Only, this time- finally- from an inpatient only loony bin. The doctors there saw right through him and had no problem detailing his many attempted of abuses of power, (I.e - “Do you KNOW who I am? I can have you fired in a heartbeat!) - his Narcissistic Personality Disorder and thankfully, his delusions of grandeur. It was all spelled out quite nicely and accurately. Those psych docs had him figured out the second someone told him “No.” (Which was probably on day 1.) Go team Greystone! And Go Ann Klein State Psychiatric Hospital for the criminally insane! Geniuses!
@@laurenkanarek5487well, only difference is that you are a lunatic that is not in the loony bin but a lunatic still. You take such pride in hurting others thinking it makes you superior. In fact it shows how pathetic and powerless you are if your sense of power is in hurting others. Pathetic.
Is no one gonna mention Lauren Kanarek actually commented on this post? Meaning she actually watches videos about the case. I will not state whether or not I find that strange.
@@mikesanders8621I noticed her comment. She is quite the narcissist. She definitely has a personality disorder. Well, she won't change my opinion. She is a despicable human. She must be a low life to troll RUclips comments to attention seek and try to intimidate others. She's sad!
What a horrible woman. She literally drove Michael crazy. It's unbelievable how everything that incriminated her was excluded from the trial when it had everything ro do with her character.
I'm so glad the jury got this one right and saw Lauren and Robert for the evil people they were despite the judge not allowing much of her nasty past into the trial, which I thought was quite relevant.
The public has read everything she said and did to Michael, you, and everyone else, so she has zero sympathy now. I hope Michael and Lara can live in peace now...
I definitely takes two to have conflict, but I really think in those isolated case, Lauren is not the victim here. With her father's money, she could have moved herself and her horses anytime she wanted to . I don't understand her motive to stay, unless it was simply to wreck this poor man .
I think it’s the latter. She probably feels the need to destroy whomever has slighted her in any way. Maybe it’s what she’s used to all her life. Privileged and spoiled.
@@imissmybed3469 I wouldn't be surprised if she'd learned those bully and destroy tactics from her rich dad, who might have used those in his business dealings.
It does indeed take (at least) two to have a conflict, and often it's just not worth it. However, it's good we didn't all just roll over and assume the fetal position when Hitler decided on world domination and mass murder. Some things are worth fighting for - like your whole life's endeavour and achievement.
To quote Judge Judy, “if you are miserable, move.” She deliberately decided to go on making this man miserable, which tends to undermine her case against him even if she could have had an inkling of a case somewhere at the beginning.
Based on the descriptions, she does sound like a spoiled daddy’s girl who is used to get her way and what she wants. And if she doesn’t get it, she’ll destroy those who stand in her way or refuse to give her what she wants, all the while thinking she’s right in doing that. Scary woman indeed. I do wonder about the people around her, how she treats them and all.
Amen! But there are red flags that are typical and recognizable in these people. And for God’s sake, do background checks on people with whom you are engaging in any financial transaction!
she was shot badly and could have died, u would be cold too - damn everyone here sounds barbaric. Driving to someone’s home waving a pistol is not a way to deal with some silly social media nonsense
I saw this story in another program. Your version is, by far, much much better, since you give a detailed and coherent explanation of the entire saga of events...
I watched the whole trial. This is the first summary type video I’ve watched and it is a fairly accurate and fair portrayal of events. Great job! I’ll have to check out some more videos on this channel.
I agree! I only wish she could be prosecuted for perjury and for filling false reports with Child Protective Services etc. She is another Amber Heard! Also reminds me of the movie Pacific Heights
I'm only 10 minutes in, but am wondering why this woman and her boyfriend didn't just move out. If there are problems with your landlord, spouting off on social media will only feed the fire. If she wasn't happy with her training, then move. If she felt threatened, then leave. Edit: Yeah, Lauren and Robert came across as shady, and evidence supports that. Sometimes tenants have more rights than landlords. It sure seems likely that they pounced on Michael, beat the heck out of him, and THEN he shot at them. If that's what happened, then that also supports Michael's claim of temporary amnesia, as he could have claimed self-defense. Their story doesn't add up.
That was brought up. I had the same thought. It was because of her also having 5 horses she needed boarded and with an immediate move out, it was impossible to find somewhere that could take them and her/and the bf. Makes sense, moving just two people is a task in itself but adding 5 horses to it would be super hard.
@@Wildcat221 I didn't mean immediate. It seemed clear that she wasn't even attempting to find another place. At the very least, she and her boyfriend could have gone to a motel and left their horses there until finding boarding elsewhere. It's very possible to find boarding within a reasonable amount of time.
On the one hand the fact that the other ladies who were fearful of the safety of the stabling facilities for their horses took the action of sleeping in the stables with their horses rather than move the horses reinforces the point of how difficult it is to find alternative stabling for horses (plural) at short notice, especially if you add in the requirement for Olympic-grade training facilities in addition to the stabling. And with everyone being paranoid about what the other party would be capable of, I certainly wouldn’t expect Lauren to overnight off site, away from being close to supervising her 5 Olympic-standard horses every night. These are, after all, highly valuable, both in terms of how much they cost as well as how long it would take to train replacement Dressage horses to the same standard, especially as Dressage is absolutely a 2-way team discipline. Competition horses are not pets, although obviously most riders form very close bonds with their horses. On the other hand I think the court proceedings uncovered that the animosities went on for over 1 year, so the summer season arrangement was renewed after the first summer season, after the relationship had already started breaking down. Of course we don’t have access to the contract agreement but it’s unlikely to have been ‘locked in’ for more than 12 months and if Lauren was truly scared, she would have had 12 months to find alternative arrangements and not return her horses to the stables at the beginning of the second summer. And why did Michael allow things to escalate by renewing the contract for another summer season, after things had started to go sour? Wanted the money? I think Lauren and her bf were lying about so much. I think Michael was at best playing up MH issues and at worst lying about not remembering what happened. I also think regardless, nothing justifies Michael shooting Lauren twice in the chest (it was just luck she wasn’t killed). But I’m so not sorry about the verdict (singular, there’s absolutely no evidence that anyone other than Lauren was shot at, however with all 3 lying we’ll never know if the bf also would have been shot at if the opportunity had presented itself). Classic JTL case: far from open & shut case. Love ‘em 🤓
This is probably one of the few cases where I think the so-called victim had it coming. In fact, it's a tragedy that her and her fiancé are still alive. A lot of people Lauren has dealt with IRL describe her as completely vile and all have similar experiences with her as Michael did. I hope he gets past this and gets released. Michael isn't the one who is the violent career criminal.
Naaa. They were both childish idiots. And even if you think she was more to blame that’s no excuse to go and shoot them both. He got away with it in my opinion…. With some terrible acting crazy by the way 🤣
I have to say this was one of your better videos. Not only was it interesting but I think you did a remarkable job presenting the information without telling me what I should think. Hard to do and is the kind of thing that keeps me subscribed. Thanks
my heart goes out to Michael. His life was ruined by some entitled ungrateful people. Karen or Lauren whatever it is, she should be punished for all the things he did to this man. i hope he recovers.
Watched this last week on another channel... and it's the first a case has ever brought me to tears... the lady and her partner did a job on this man and I believe when they reported him to CPS it made him snapped...
I've dealt with a psycho before and she did a lot of projecting. She would go after people's kids to get to them and one way she would do this is by calling DFS repeatedly. It about made me snap and I had a police officer friend and judge friend sit down and have a talk with me like you can't do anything you have to let this play its course you have to let DFS flag of harassment if you do anything against her you'll go to jail. They all agreed it wasn't right it wasn't okay but I had to keep it together. And I did. It took three years and probably a decade off my life. It's resolved for the time being, knock on wood but I still live everyday and fear that something is going to set her off and she's going to come after me again for something that is perceived in her head that I did and she'll do so by going after my child and calling DFS constantly. Until she no longer lives on this Earth I will not be able to completely be at peace. I'm not going to be the one to take her off this Earth she does a good enough job of pissing off enough people that one day somebody will. Overall it's a shame that people like her and like this check in the video refuse to mental health help that they so desperately need
It sounds like they bullied him incessantly and just broke him. Reporting him to CPS on false allegations was probably the final straw. He wanted them out, but felt threatened by them. After hearing Michael's defense, I became very empathetic toward him. Robert and Lauren's testimonies only cemented for me who the real victim is. Lauren could hardly even look up as she was being questioned on the stand.
Not only do I feel for Michael but I feel for that little boy, he would have had to be interviewed in regards to her claims, she put an innocent kid into a massive traumatic situation for her own agenda, she makes me sick.
Michael was pushed to his breaking point and they didn’t expect him to push back. Lauren learned that day that not everyone on this planet will cater to her narcissistic Karen behavior. Her boyfriend and father should be heald accountable for enabling a spoiled monster. Now Michael was wrong in shooting them but what else could he do? He’d called the police, they didn’t help, They refused to follow any rules, they ruined Michaels reputation after he’d been building his business for years she’d made multiple lies slandering his name and the cherry on top they went to destroy this man by labeling him a child abuser. That he couldn’t take and I for one don’t know anyone who wouldn’t be devastated by this accusation.
I saw quite a few red flags just watching Lauren's body language on the stand. Especially the closing of her eyes, called eye blocking. Defined as, throwing others off, shutting others off, control of the conversation doesn't want to see what is in front of them, focusing on what they need to say & remembering what to say & or lying. Not to mention her head, neck & face-touching movements. I believe that there was a lot of Gaslighting on Lauren's part. She is far from innocent, and I'm glad Michael was proven not at fault. He clearly was the victim. To see his reaction after the verdict is enough said.
personally i believe the witch’s criminal record and her previous victims should have been allowed in, im sure once the jury found out about her history they would feel the same way as many of us do, as for her “fiancé”, he is a pawn and doesn’t even know it, but if he hasn’t already, he will painfully find out in the not so distant future
I don't understand why the Facebook posts and her prior record for harassment and what not was not allowed into court. I'm curious as to what argument was made
The judge was incredibly hostile toward Barisone and his defense attorneys, even yelling at them, being condescending, and reprimanding them IN FRONT of the jury, which is a huge no-no for the judge to show so much bias. The judge had it out for Barisone, that’s why he was so strict about not letting certain evidence in. It’s a miracle the jury was able to come to the verdict they did with how hard the judge was trying to sabotage the defense
How ironic that I just saw this case on another channel yesterday and searched RUclips for another version. And today - here it is on my new favourite channel. This just made my day. Thank you 😊
Fact is the girl and her BF should have made arrangements to gtfo as soon as she realized the set up wasn't to her specifications. She really was the problem. She needed to vacate and get off his property. She was trying to bully him. She's a New Jersey Lawyer's daughter princess. She wanted to make this guy coach her and to prioritize her a if he was a servant. And he's not going to so what's the point of staying on someones property especially since she felt so threatened. Because I'm not hearing her reasons for why she would not leave. I hope this guy gets to go home. This spoiled little girl Lauren is a narcissistic nightmare. I'm tired of hearing her voice and her smug face and she's just horrid
Agree 💯. She is ugly inside and out. She purely enjoyed ruining his life. And I wish the prosecutor would charge her and her boyfriend with perjury for changing their testimony and for filling all those false allegations and reports!
Kevin, great work as usual. What a tragic story. I live in NJ and do not remember hearing about this. This woman is obviously a manipulator and spoiled brat, used to getting her way. I am so glad that Mr. Bariosone was not found guilty. What a world we live in.
I appreciate how thorough you are with your research Kevin! No stone left unturned and you give us quality content because of your work ethic. We appreciate you and JTL!!!
All those civil services that chick contacted anonymously were acting like a weapon towards that poor guy. They really enjoyed this opportunity to abuse a good citizen.
this “poor guy” was scamming people with impunity, how do we know he wasn’t abusing children too? Nothing she did justifies him grabbing a gun and shooting. He’s only insane after a year or so in jail, he was quite sane when he drove there and started shooting. Her boyfriend is a hero & this is a sad miscarriage of justice. People feeling sorry for him seem biased against rich people & women.
@@pchaparala Did you watch even a minute of the trial? This is so far off base it’s almost as Crazy and Lauren & Robert! Since the creation of “Safe Sport” the main problem is that people have weaponized it. Lauren took that to a new level and weaponized every civil service she could find in addition to safe sport and all of the equestrian ruling bodies too.
@@pchaparala how do we know you’re not abusing children? I have just as much evidence of you doing it, as you have of Michael doing it. Scary that people as ignorant as you are allowed to vote 😢 “Biased against rich people” lmao He’s the rich one you noob. She was a 30 something years old, relying on Daddy’s $. Michael was a self made millionaire
I watched this whole trial. This woman is so manipulative and absolutely horrible. While the court case was ongoing, she would go into the chat of the trial and attack anyone that believed that her and her boyfriend were in the wrong. SHE SHOWED HER TRUE COLORS...... end of!!!!!!
Seen this case in other channels, but not one of them have been as thorough about explaining it as you! Thank you. With that said, I have a few comments on this... At first, without knowing the entire situation for the reason mentioned above, I thought both of them were in the wrong. He shouldn't have armed himself and she should've left and sued for her money back. But after listening to all these facts that weren't mentioned in court, I now believe that Mr. Baritone is the one and only true victim. He was being terrorized, threatened, and harassed on his OWN PROPERTY. The recordings made of him without his authorization. Then her posting them on social media, again without his consent. The defamations made against him - also posting them on social media, like what freaking adolescents do now. Her constant calls to government agencies and making false accusations against him. And then, when ALL of these childish antics didn't work entirely in her favor, they proceeded to physically attack him. I do believe what someone else posted: That they BOTH attacked him and he was forced to shoot at them to protect his life. And since he was running on pure adrenaline at that time, due to all the stress he was put under by them, he may have developed amnesia. Or maybe he wasn't even the shooter... Her own boyfriend testified he put Mr. Barisone in a chokehold, and stated Mr. Barisone passed out. He then changed the statement immediately after that, and no one questioned this!! This man tried to get rid of them but couldn't... Literally COULDN'T. From his own property!! This narcissistic, entitled, psychotic, old ass, spoiled wench really needs to be humbled. Even though he was acquitted, he's still suffering mentally from what she's put him through. And she's STILL not through with him!! She's still trying hard to sue him by any means necessary... WTF!?? I'm so glad he was acquitted. And glad he's countersuing her, and suing the police department for failing to protect him and his family from this pathetic wench... But he also needs to sue her father. Because he threatened legal action against him if he evicted her. You cannot force anyone to do something they don't want to do... Especially to board someone who's making your life a living hell!! Are these freaks/people serious!??? Praying for Mr. Barisone's mental and well being. Hope he reunites with his family soon 🙏🏼❤
I am in disbelief that this woman who feared for her life and felt threatened by Michael would approach him first and tell the boyfriend she’s going to handle this She’s got a prior Marine boyfriend, yet she goes out to handle a supposed threatening adversary??? I think they had a plan to do something to Michael and she got shot in the midst
Exactly! And I bet she wasn’t even paying that for the entire time. Just like how she was supposed to have 2 horses there yet brought THREE more. She totally took advantage!
Hey! Thanks for stopping by to check it out. All the best to you as well…just do me a favour and give me a sneak peak of your next case so we can avoid it (kidding of course) 😀
I have watched hundreds and hundreds of true crime videos and this has got to be the first time I find myself feeling empathy for the accused as opposed to the victim. Facebook posts were excluded, and so was the findings of a private investigator...and the jury STILL got it right. He was tormented, bullied, and harassed...wish I had seen her face when the not guilty was read out.
Thanks a lot Kevin for this excellent video... this story is extremely sad and I personally have no trust or sympathy for Lauren and Robert. I was shocked to see Robert's arrogant attitude toward the defence attorney, even kind of laughing at one point. Those kind of people are trouble, all they wanted was a place to stay and being treated like the Queen & King while Michael was considered a slave... Thanks again Kevin
I like how you covered this. I've heard this story from other places, and you don't always hear a fair breakdown of both sides. When you criticized law enforcement for being dismissive I was glad to hear it. Those people should have been escorted off the property while being sure her horses got proper treatment while their moving situations got ironed out. I'm on this guys side, but she shouldn't have still been living there to make this guy feel threatened. I believe he overreacted, but Im glad the jury took the care to see his side of things.
The guilty one here is Lauren and her bf, she looks like an entitled brat so used to have things her way. Michael was so right being fearful of her. Hope he gets better
Show barns are full of competitive, narcissistic people. I’ve seen men and women throw away their financial security and relationships chasing those blue ribbons. I willingly left one barn with my horse when the owners’ marriage was failing. Less than a year later, the estranged husband returned and shot and killed his wife and mother-in-law. There was a restraining order against him but that didn’t stop him.
So true and from being around many wealthy people I've found that most really wealthy people (multimillionaire/billionaires) are actually really nice but those people that only worth a million or less are very snobby and elitist! Of course there are always exceptions but for the most part that's been my experience.
He “might” be faking, he “might” be exaggerating, he “might “ have lied to the psychiatrist… but she DID constantly threaten him online, she DID have a history of stalking, she DID falsely report him to cps. It’s not difficult to see who the real victim was. Another thought- is it possible that the police didn’t investigate as much as they should have because he was a 6’4” man and she was a 5’1” woman? Did they not think it was possible for her to bully him? 🤔
Thanks Bella! I know what you mean, sometimes people on here can be a bit harsh for no reason. Just ignore them and I'm not ashamed to say I'm happy to have you here, enjoy the video 😀
Well said totally agree with you 💯 great video again KEVIN you always show content that is new to me and very understanding videos, we love your channel in IRELAND 👍👏👏🇮🇪☘🙏
You effectively present really intriguing, ambiguous cases that linger in my thoughts long after I've watched the clip. Great journalism. Much beyond the familiar trajectory of many true crime channels. Thank you for all your hard work to bring these cases to our attention.
Kanarek's behavior reminds me a lot of Jamison Bachman's, the serial squatter. They both used extensive knowledge of the law to not only avoid eviction but also bully and cause sadistic, maximum psychological stress to the property owners. I would 100% describe this as some sort of terrorist campaign. She didn't use overt violence, but the weapons she did use - social media, legal maneuvers, veiled threats - was still terrorism as far as I'm concerned. And I wonder if her ultimate goal may have been to take the horse farm from Barisone, either through getting him arrested, destroying his business or just driving him completely from the property. But unfortunately for both of them, she was playing with fire. It's awful that it came to this. I hope that he is able to rally psychologially and financially from this. Please get background checks on your renters, everyone!!
When I read the story in the news when it first broke, I just figured he was guilty based on initial facts. However, when I watched an in-depth report on 48 hours after he was found not guilty, the one main issue that stands out is, it was mentioned that Lauren and her boyfriend hid cameras in the horse stables (and perhaps other areas of the property) to record Michael. And it's obvious to me they were behaving in a way to try to get Michael to say something to them that would make him look bad (and make sure they had a clear recording of it, but it would have to be more then one time, so then they could claim a pattern of 'abuse' by a landlord/employer. Once they had these recording then they could file a lawsuit, knowing that he would most likely settle, rather then have to go to court and damage his reputation/business. His property and horses are worth millions. To me they were looking for a huge payday. Also note Lauren was in her mid 30s at the time this happened and Stil financially dependent on her father (who just happens to be an attorney, makes you wonder if coached her on how to setup a potential lawsuit that would be an easy settlement action, so then he wouldn't have to financially support her anymore). If her situation was that 'abusive', she could have easily just moved back home or elsewhere to work for another equestrian coach/horse stables.
I so very much disagree with court systems that don't allow past offenses to be shown in court. I know people make mistakes in their pasts and can change. But if it got to this point, it's because she hasn't changed. She has continued her attacks and crazy making behavior. Therefore, all past records should have been allowed in court, showing her character. She IS a bully. I'm not a therapist but if this female doesn't have narcissistic personality disorder, I'd be shocked. She had enough charm & charisma to make Michael see a sweet person initially. That's how narcissists pull you in. They all seem friendly and warm at first. Then they eventually show their true colors ... condescending, they think they are better than everyone else ... they have ZERO empathy. They can fake it when they try to draw someone in but they absolutely do not have the ability to think: "How would I feel, if someone did this to me?" And what about the constant posts on social media? The narcissistic smear campaign of course! Trying to ruin someone's reputation without feeling a shred of remorse. Social media is the narcissist's playground. They post everything they think, see, eat. They constantly get on soap boxes. Narcissists are pathological liars and when they talk about themselves, they are the hero or the victim in every story. Never the abuser but if you dig into their pasts, you see the real them.
These two would have destroyed him even if he had trained them personally, and she had still failed to win any prizes. They would have blamed him for sure. They are narcissists
Great point. Nothing he did was ever going to be “good enough”. The fact that her father backed her BS & helped bully Michael with legal threats speaks volumes. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree & daddy created a monster
I'm stunned that so much previous evidence wasn't allowed. Stunned at how terrified the Barisones must have been. I'd be paranoid too.These are terrible terrible people. If fear he will never recover as cases are still ongoing.
Hey Kevin, I just stumbled on your channel and absolutely love your style! Your presentation is fantastic. None of the egocentric drivel that so many true crime channels have so your style is very refreshing. I'm a new subscriber and I have liked and shared several of your videos! Thank you for your hard work, your new friend Jakal from Seattle!
Thank you for covering this strange sad case. I have met people who expect to the dynamic they grew up enjoying at home where they were treated like a little god to be replicated in a professional environment and when that doesn't happen they dedicate themselves to causing a long campaign of chaos to teach colleagues "a lesson". This situation reminds me of those people, only much more extreme.
I think this is another example of domestic abuse that ends in violence. When are the authorities going to clue in that when any domestic relationship goes wrong and fear of violence occurs, they have to step in and separate/help the parties? Usually it's partners and that's what makes this case so interesting! Thanks for covering this one, Kevin
I'm just hearing about this case today. I didn't watch the trial. The 48 Hours episode on it mentioned that Barisone was staying awake at night to guard himself and his family and property. Was lack of sleep mentioned as a precipitating factor at trial? Just not sleeping for several nights in a row would lead to significant deterioration of mental health including paranoia.
Great job on your channel. I like how you kind of sum it up at the beginning first, so we can kind of see if it's something we want to watch right now. But of course i always do 👍

This is a cautionary tale about how everyone should do a background check before allowing anyone to live on their property. It’s hard to get someone off your property once they’re living there.
Fair point.
Amen!!
That's true!
Once they receive mail to the property, they live there. Also, a cautionary tale about having a contract that protects you, and your business, which included Michael's home. A contract covering a 30, 60, and 90-day review of the status of the training & and if the training is beneficial. This protects both parties & gives Michael an out if they are scumbags or on her part if she isn't satisfied with the training. Of course, these are my thoughts after the fact.
@@missmaggie2620 Good point. Its rather pathetic that trusting people to live with you or in a property you own requires so much legal jargon paper work to make the government red tape look like first grade assignments.
Then to add insult to injury. The law backs up the defendants!
Handshake bond is a ghost of the past..
The defense lawyer had an uphill battle on his hands once the judge refused to allow both Lauren's criminal past and her social media posts against Michael to be heard by the jury. Kudos to the whole defense team!
Absolutely. Next time I'm accused of attempted murder following repeated insults and unjustified accusations in person and on social media, forced out of my own home, diminished and discredited professionally, faced with hostile tenants I can't seem to evict, and bopped over the head with a mobile phone, I'm definitely going to enlist their help.
@Sandra….yeah, I couldn’t understand why they wouldn’t factor her past in this case. I agree with you that the defense team was excellent.
I wonder what relationship her Daddy has with the judge. just saying.
Unbelievable that her past crimes and behaviour were inadmissible. Watching her in the witness box, no wonder her own attorney said to discount the disgust of Lauren.
@@crossedwires2629 Daddy is not a good father. He just threw money at parenting. I wouldn't be surprised if he tried undue influence too.
A big thanks to the Juries who found Michael not guilty. That woman was used to getting away with everything in her life. She was a bully
@Madame d'Badger looks like she messed with the wrong dude this time
I am so glad you did a spoiler. Cause I wasn't going to be able to watch this.
@@allencollins9951yes unfortunately he looks to have suffered greatly due to his life colliding with hers.
Agreed too bad the info on these two crap heels did not get aired.
@@oneluckygirlandherdog that's exactly what I thought. He looked pathetic. Like urchin doddering beaten down....
She says she feared for their lives, yet when he tried to evict her, she wouldn't leave. She's a lying POS, if you ask me.
Lying and cruel bitch
And to use to excuse that she had nowhere to go with her 5 horses, while only paying for 2, only to find out Michael’s attorney had found someplace 5 miles away for her and her horses with another Olympian level trainer?! She’s a real piece of work and her moocher boyfriend is just as bad!
@@pinkfluffydino8217 yeah she had a lot of nerve, saying Michael was using her for money 😮 when in reality she was paying a pittance for lodging for 2 adults and five horses and her dog PLUS training for $5 k a month! She knew she would never get such a deal anywhere else! So she squatted ! I bet they weren’t even paying the 5k!!
Dude shot her and got away with it because he's rich, and all you cucks think justice was served.
Fact is, none of you would've gotten away with what he did. There's no justice unless it's equal.
@@nicolaxoxo1 - Excellent point. She was paying basically nothing. She drove the man out of his own home and squatted in his house while plotting to destroy his life (which she admitted in court). She had plenty of daddy's money and could have left anytime she wanted.
If Lauren truly feared for her safety, she should have just left the premises. It's not as if she didn't have the means or opportunity to do so. No, she had to continue making Michael's life a complete misery. What she did to this decent man who had accomplished so much in HIS life, is unforgivable. My thoughts & prayers are with Michael & his family. Wishing him a full recovery!!
Your work is so professional we love it in Adelaide australia you give us the case straight out no jibber jabber that makes us turn off so thank you for your work and care
Her dad had financial means to relocate her and her horses somewhere else. She is a deranged narcissist princess who's used to getting her way every time. He literally drove him crazy.
She had her right to not be harassed by a grown man while also taking care of her horses that’s her right that doesn’t give aright to a mentally unstable freak to go and shoot her because he can’t force someone whom he has a agreement with off the property when she has rights herself that he obviously didn’t care about
@@powerboatguy2308 you. Don’t know that and unless you have horses in that specific area I suggest you shut up on being a know it all
lol. You must be smoking the same crack as Lauren, if that's your take on it.
But looking at your deranged comment, atrocious use of punctuation and retarded grammar.
I'm going to go ahead and guess, that you are in fact Lauren.
Posting a supportive comment under a pseudonym, because your narcissistic ego cant stand the fact that no one is on your side.
No one believes you and now no one ever will, your a failure, a hack and a petty criminal.
The only thing you will ever be good at, is being despised, unfortunately for you that is not an Olympic sport.
Admittedly, my take on your comment could be way off and your just a crazy troll that actually supports her (I'm not a narcissist so I can admit to being wrong)
But I think it is way more likely that you and your chode boyfriend are the culprits behind this post.
I'm also pretty sure you deliberately placed the CPS call, knowing it would lure him up to the house.
Your boyfriend attacked him from behind, you two knocked Michael out, staged the scene, called 911 and then your boyfriend (ex marine) shot you with two non lethal shots.
I think, if he was packing, it was only for self defense.
I think that shot through the door, was possibly when he was attacked from behind by your boyfriend.
You also tried to access his phone while he was unconscious, thinking you could unlock it with his fingerprint.
But he had password protection.
And that is why you dialed 911 from his phone, because you thought that would unlock it (dam you are stupid)
Like I said I could be wrong, but one thing is for sure, your riding isn't even intermediate.
@@Redfern4
I was afraid to watch and read the comments, but im so relieved the case was delivered so fairly, and that the viewers see it the way us horsey people saw it. She was a bully and a harasser, and the jury got it right. I rode with Michael years ago, on my pony sized Morgan (I do not have the same kinds of funds for my horse habit as lauren... LOL) We were chosen for a demo rider at the equine affaire. He was so kind, patient, and funny as hell. I hope he gets his life back and heals.
I hope the horse world black balls her so she can’t do this again at someone else’s farm! Paying $5000 a month for housing for 2 adults plus a dog and then board for 2 horses PLUS training and she had the nerve to complain and say he was using her ??!! Then she brings in 3 more horses 😮 🤦♀️ She is another Amber Heard! She not only 😊wanted everything for free but she enjoyed destroying his life in the process. Just a guess, but I bet she is a lousy rider too!
Well, you might not have Lauren's daddy's money, but you seem to be a much nicer person! I don't think daddy is done bailing her out.
Yes, I don’t usually side with the perpetrator but Lauren was a bully and we all have our breaking point. The police should have intervened when Michael called them and things wouldn’t have escalated.
I have absolutely no sympathy or pity for Lauren. I do feel very sorry for this man who’s been pushed to the limit. I sincerely hope he recovers.
According to the end of the video, he snapped back to being able to cope, really fast! I personally think it's because he got away from the stressful nightmare she created for him. I hope his lawyers beat her in court! This guy has been put through the ringer!
The woman is crazy enough to destroy a successful man just because she wanted to be like him. So jealous and hateful. I am really scared of her. So evil
The whole look presented in court looks very fake to me. Especially given his quick recovery that looks to be an act. To me it looks like there is no good actor here. This level of intensity is not unseen in the breakup of relationships including these allegations towards cps. This basically makes it acceptable to shoot the other party in these situations as long as you are wealthy and can pay for those experts.
I dont understand why Lauren didnt leave as soon as she saw she wasnt happy with the situation. She had the money to move, why did she refuse to & make trouble instead? Her dad hasnt done her any favours by spoiling her rotten.
@@nevermindthe Absolutely agree - if she really had those olympic aspirations and would not get what she expected, she should move on and maybe sue for damages. Same is true for Michael though - if you (sub) lease parts of your home to people, you don't just get hotel guests you can throw out at any time. If you get yourself tenants into your house as a 50+ Olympic Millionaire success story up-to-that-point or whatever, you _have to_ be aware of the consequences. If you are not: That part is definitely on you!
She’s shady as hell. I don’t believe a word she said, and Lauren and her boyfriend should be in jail. I hope Michael can recover from this a lead a happy life.
Yeah she’s a lying pos ….
How do people become so vindictive
Just move on if it’s not working so simple really
Lauren & her boyfriend are a dangerous duo. So sad what they put this accomplished man & his family through.
He doesn’t have a family. He never did. And now, he likely never will. Thank you to the jury for sending him far, far away, for a long long time. 👏👏👏
You’re pathetic and everyone knows what kind of person you are
The crazy part was... & I was not expecting this... HE WAS A MARINE!!! BUT BARELY KNEW ABOUT GUNS??? WHAT THE..... HE LOST ME THERE!!!
@@laurenkanarek5487lady you’re straight up crazy. You need help. He was found not guilty for a reason.
That poor man, you can hear the desperation in his voice on the phone call to the police 😔 Lauren sounds like a vile little human, no sympathy for her 😤 Oh my god, seeing Michael in court, heartbreaking 😩💔
Little women are not worthy?
@@AnnHelenaSchlueterLitlle human.
Hope he wins both civil actions.
Really nice work, thank you
Wow...Lauren & her boyfriend are every trainer and landlord's worst nightmare. I cannot imagine what all Michael was subjected to in order for him & his girlfriend to move out of his own home AND for them to send his girlfriend's child somewhere else to stay because they were worried for that kid's safety. I'm so glad the jury saw right through Lauren & her boyfriend.
After seeing Lauren's face & body language while she was testifying, I was convinced that Michael should be acquitted.
Unbelievable Mr. and Ms. scumbag as I mentioned in one of the other comments I really hope they live this life to realize what absolute pieces of filth they are
I interacted with Lauren on twitter. She is psycho. When she found out I was on Michael's side, she spent weeks responding to me out of no where.
@@aykfcshe has “gun violence survivor & political activist” in her bio lmao She’s such a clown…& ofc her page is on lockdown now, Bc she can’t handle the public telling her she’s wrong.
Same. She seems so mentally unstable.
Me too what an actress!
This story breaks my heart. This poor man was tortured by two psychopaths and I thank God the jury saw the truth.
He is the psychopath. He could have dealt with all of this way better than pulling out a gun and whining to the cops.
Yup
As a woman, she has the right to say what she wants and voice her opinions. Telling the truth does not constitute being a 'psychopath'.
You're a trash human, Pauline. Trash.
@@paulinejackson5861 no but making false reports such as telling CPS he was abusing young children is the work of a psychopath. She deliberately set out to ruin his life
I hope Michael can recover mentally and emotionally from this ordeal. 🙏🏻
You never really recover from narcissistic abuse
She was playing the "Petite ,oh so fragile, indefensive" woman for way too long, when she was the real bully and abuser. It's incredible how this evil worm ruined the career, life and reputation of this man. Hope he would get his life back and that this woman learned her lesson, but I doubt it! Psychopaths will do what psychopaths do until they die...
Yes, they were like two worms. 🤮
I am 1000 percent team Michael on this.
I feel so bad for both him and his family.
I appreciate and enjoy all the work you do on your videos!

😒
That verdict was fair. You cannot mentally torture people then play the victim when the consequences of YOUR actions arrive. She f*cked around and found out. I really hope Michael gets the support he needs. I hope his friends family and community shower him with love and understanding.
Nope. He fucked around and found out. In fact, he is still finding out. Only, this time- finally- from an inpatient only loony bin. The doctors there saw right through him and had no problem detailing his many attempted of abuses of power, (I.e - “Do you KNOW who I am? I can have you fired in a heartbeat!) - his Narcissistic Personality Disorder and thankfully, his delusions of grandeur. It was all spelled out quite nicely and accurately. Those psych docs had him figured out the second someone told him “No.” (Which was probably on day 1.) Go team Greystone! And Go Ann Klein State Psychiatric Hospital for the criminally insane! Geniuses!
@@laurenkanarek5487well, only difference is that you are a lunatic that is not in the loony bin but a lunatic still. You take such pride in hurting others thinking it makes you superior. In fact it shows how pathetic and powerless you are if your sense of power is in hurting others. Pathetic.
I don't think I've ever despised a prosecutor before😡
Is no one gonna mention Lauren Kanarek actually commented on this post? Meaning she actually watches videos about the case.
I will not state whether or not I find that strange.
@@mikesanders8621I noticed her comment. She is quite the narcissist. She definitely has a personality disorder. Well, she won't change my opinion. She is a despicable human. She must be a low life to troll RUclips comments to attention seek and try to intimidate others. She's sad!
What a horrible woman. She literally drove Michael crazy. It's unbelievable how everything that incriminated her was excluded from the trial when it had everything ro do with her character.
It is allowed to kill
Good thing she testified and showed who she really was.
...more glaring evidence of how selective our law enforcement and judicial system tend to be😢
The not guilty verdict shows that justice can prevail. Wishing him healing and a wonderful life ❤
I'm so glad the jury got this one right and saw Lauren and Robert for the evil people they were despite the judge not allowing much of her nasty past into the trial, which I thought was quite relevant.
Justice will prevail yeah, tell that to Kris Maharaj
Sorry, justice prevailing would be to never have brought charges.
I feel so terribly sorry for anyone who has ever been forced to interact with Lauren Kanarek.
Get a grip grandma
The public has read everything she said and did to Michael, you, and everyone else, so she has zero sympathy now. I hope Michael and Lara can live in peace now...
@@joeyagirlshe’s in this comment section too!
@@joeyagirl meaning LK is literally in this comment section. She’s been commenting on people’s comments on this video!
@@joeyagirl hi!
I definitely takes two to have conflict, but I really think in those isolated case, Lauren is not the victim here. With her father's money, she could have moved herself and her horses anytime she wanted to . I don't understand her motive to stay, unless it was simply to wreck this poor man .
I think it’s the latter. She probably feels the need to destroy whomever has slighted her in any way. Maybe it’s what she’s used to all her life. Privileged and spoiled.
It sounds like the last one, I’ve dealt with wicked people they crave evil and find pleasure in it. Purely wicked.
@@imissmybed3469 I wouldn't be surprised if she'd learned those bully and destroy tactics from her rich dad, who might have used those in his business dealings.
It does indeed take (at least) two to have a conflict, and often it's just not worth it. However, it's good we didn't all just roll over and assume the fetal position when Hitler decided on world domination and mass murder. Some things are worth fighting for - like your whole life's endeavour and achievement.
To quote Judge Judy, “if you are miserable, move.” She deliberately decided to go on making this man miserable, which tends to undermine her case against him even if she could have had an inkling of a case somewhere at the beginning.
Based on the descriptions, she does sound like a spoiled daddy’s girl who is used to get her way and what she wants. And if she doesn’t get it, she’ll destroy those who stand in her way or refuse to give her what she wants, all the while thinking she’s right in doing that. Scary woman indeed. I do wonder about the people around her, how she treats them and all.
She us unrelenting, look at how long and numerous comments right here
I feel sad for Michael. I hope he will recover and back to his passion. God blese and protect him and his family.
I wish that people like Lauren and Robert came with warning labels so that the rest of us could avoid them.
Amen! But there are red flags that are typical and recognizable in these people. And for God’s sake, do background checks on people with whom you are engaging in any financial transaction!
It is good to see a jury do right for a change.
Amen to that and for Michael to have received a fair and just verdict. Lauren and Robert deserve a very special place in HELL for their evilness.
I appreciate you Kevin, thank you for all your hard work.
She drove him crazy. She is a dangerous woman. She knew what she was doing!
She gave an interview after the fact. She seemed cold and evil. I feel so bad for Michael. 😢
she was shot badly and could have died, u would be cold too - damn everyone here sounds barbaric. Driving to someone’s home waving a pistol is not a way to deal with some silly social media nonsense
I saw this story in another program. Your version is, by far, much much better, since you give a detailed and coherent explanation of the entire saga of events...
Thanks Jorge
I watched the whole trial. This is the first summary type video I’ve watched and it is a fairly accurate and fair portrayal of events. Great job! I’ll have to check out some more videos on this channel.
I agree! I only wish she could be prosecuted for perjury and for filling false reports with Child Protective Services etc. She is another Amber Heard! Also reminds me of the movie Pacific Heights
Victim blaming?
@@AnnHelenaSchlueter no one's blaming Michael the victim
I'm only 10 minutes in, but am wondering why this woman and her boyfriend didn't just move out. If there are problems with your landlord, spouting off on social media will only feed the fire. If she wasn't happy with her training, then move. If she felt threatened, then leave.
Edit: Yeah, Lauren and Robert came across as shady, and evidence supports that. Sometimes tenants have more rights than landlords. It sure seems likely that they pounced on Michael, beat the heck out of him, and THEN he shot at them. If that's what happened, then that also supports Michael's claim of temporary amnesia, as he could have claimed self-defense.
Their story doesn't add up.
That was brought up. I had the same thought. It was because of her also having 5 horses she needed boarded and with an immediate move out, it was impossible to find somewhere that could take them and her/and the bf. Makes sense, moving just two people is a task in itself but adding 5 horses to it would be super hard.
my thoughts too!
@minnrussian, that was not anyone's problems. You chew what you could swallow . She was entitled
@@Wildcat221 I didn't mean immediate. It seemed clear that she wasn't even attempting to find another place. At the very least, she and her boyfriend could have gone to a motel and left their horses there until finding boarding elsewhere. It's very possible to find boarding within a reasonable amount of time.
On the one hand the fact that the other ladies who were fearful of the safety of the stabling facilities for their horses took the action of sleeping in the stables with their horses rather than move the horses reinforces the point of how difficult it is to find alternative stabling for horses (plural) at short notice, especially if you add in the requirement for Olympic-grade training facilities in addition to the stabling. And with everyone being paranoid about what the other party would be capable of, I certainly wouldn’t expect Lauren to overnight off site, away from being close to supervising her 5 Olympic-standard horses every night. These are, after all, highly valuable, both in terms of how much they cost as well as how long it would take to train replacement Dressage horses to the same standard, especially as Dressage is absolutely a 2-way team discipline. Competition horses are not pets, although obviously most riders form very close bonds with their horses.
On the other hand I think the court proceedings uncovered that the animosities went on for over 1 year, so the summer season arrangement was renewed after the first summer season, after the relationship had already started breaking down. Of course we don’t have access to the contract agreement but it’s unlikely to have been ‘locked in’ for more than 12 months and if Lauren was truly scared, she would have had 12 months to find alternative arrangements and not return her horses to the stables at the beginning of the second summer. And why did Michael allow things to escalate by renewing the contract for another summer season, after things had started to go sour? Wanted the money?
I think Lauren and her bf were lying about so much. I think Michael was at best playing up MH issues and at worst lying about not remembering what happened. I also think regardless, nothing justifies Michael shooting Lauren twice in the chest (it was just luck she wasn’t killed). But I’m so not sorry about the verdict (singular, there’s absolutely no evidence that anyone other than Lauren was shot at, however with all 3 lying we’ll never know if the bf also would have been shot at if the opportunity had presented itself).
Classic JTL case: far from open & shut case. Love ‘em 🤓
This is probably one of the few cases where I think the so-called victim had it coming. In fact, it's a tragedy that her and her fiancé are still alive. A lot of people Lauren has dealt with IRL describe her as completely vile and all have similar experiences with her as Michael did. I hope he gets past this and gets released. Michael isn't the one who is the violent career criminal.
A bit harsh wanting them dead?
@jackchop, i totally agree with you 💯
I totally agree. What an evil B. She’ll get what’s coming to her. 🤞
Naaa. They were both childish idiots. And even if you think she was more to blame that’s no excuse to go and shoot them both. He got away with it in my opinion…. With some terrible acting crazy by the way 🤣
So maybe walk away rather than risking the loss of your own life (life in prison/ no parole) by killing the b.
I have to say this was one of your better videos. Not only was it interesting but I think you did a remarkable job presenting the information without telling me what I should think. Hard to do and is the kind of thing that keeps me subscribed. Thanks
my heart goes out to Michael. His life was ruined by some entitled ungrateful people. Karen or Lauren whatever it is, she should be punished for all the things he did to this man. i hope he recovers.
🎯🎯🎯
Watched this last week on another channel... and it's the first a case has ever brought me to tears... the lady and her partner did a job on this man and I believe when they reported him to CPS it made him snapped...
I've dealt with a psycho before and she did a lot of projecting. She would go after people's kids to get to them and one way she would do this is by calling DFS repeatedly. It about made me snap and I had a police officer friend and judge friend sit down and have a talk with me like you can't do anything you have to let this play its course you have to let DFS flag of harassment if you do anything against her you'll go to jail. They all agreed it wasn't right it wasn't okay but I had to keep it together. And I did. It took three years and probably a decade off my life. It's resolved for the time being, knock on wood but I still live everyday and fear that something is going to set her off and she's going to come after me again for something that is perceived in her head that I did and she'll do so by going after my child and calling DFS constantly. Until she no longer lives on this Earth I will not be able to completely be at peace. I'm not going to be the one to take her off this Earth she does a good enough job of pissing off enough people that one day somebody will. Overall it's a shame that people like her and like this check in the video refuse to mental health help that they so desperately need
It sounds like they bullied him incessantly and just broke him. Reporting him to CPS on false allegations was probably the final straw. He wanted them out, but felt threatened by them. After hearing Michael's defense, I became very empathetic toward him. Robert and Lauren's testimonies only cemented for me who the real victim is. Lauren could hardly even look up as she was being questioned on the stand.
Not only do I feel for Michael but I feel for that little boy, he would have had to be interviewed in regards to her claims, she put an innocent kid into a massive traumatic situation for her own agenda, she makes me sick.
@@CourtneyTunbridge79 True! 😢Narcissists only care about themselves. 😠
The jury got this right.
Michael was pushed to his breaking point and they didn’t expect him to push back. Lauren learned that day that not everyone on this planet will cater to her narcissistic Karen behavior. Her boyfriend and father should be heald accountable for enabling a spoiled monster. Now Michael was wrong in shooting them but what else could he do? He’d called the police, they didn’t help, They refused to follow any rules, they ruined Michaels reputation after he’d been building his business for years she’d made multiple lies slandering his name and the cherry on top they went to destroy this man by labeling him a child abuser. That he couldn’t take and I for one don’t know anyone who wouldn’t be devastated by this accusation.
Exactly. He had the enemy in his property. I believe he was truly out of his mind. She should go to jail.
I only hope the horse world ostracizes her and that she can’t worm her way into squatting on someone else’s farm!!!
Well said. Totally agree.
Considering her 41 comments on this video, in which her tone remains highly self-righteous and vindictive, I really don't think she learned anything.
Thank you for the hard work you put into each case! I try to tell everyone about JTL cause your unbiased info is rare. Cheers!
Yeah unbiased unlike crime atlas who needs to insert his extremist political beliefs into every video.
Maybe Lauren thought she wasn't getting as far as she should be in her training because she was the problem...not the training.
Based on the clips of her riding in this video, I totally agree.
Agree 100%.
Yeah she probably was a poor equestrian!
I saw quite a few red flags just watching Lauren's body language on the stand. Especially the closing of her eyes, called eye blocking. Defined as, throwing others off, shutting others off, control of the conversation doesn't want to see what is in front of them, focusing on what they need to say & remembering what to say & or lying. Not to mention her head, neck & face-touching movements. I believe that there was a lot of Gaslighting on Lauren's part. She is far from innocent, and I'm glad Michael was proven not at fault. He clearly was the victim. To see his reaction after the verdict is enough said.
🎯🤮🤮🤮
personally i believe the witch’s criminal record and her previous victims should have been allowed in, im sure once the jury found out about her history they would feel the same way as many of us do, as for her “fiancé”, he is a pawn and doesn’t even know it, but if he hasn’t already, he will painfully find out in the not so distant future
👍👍 Absolutely 👍👍
Absolutely, if it was a male with domestic charges I'm sure it would be front and centre
Totally agree. It speaks to her character
@@joeyagirl i’m sorry you went and are going through the chaos and pain caused by that monster, truly
@@joeyagirl wow. What a true witch. I feel for every one of you that fell in the hands of the evil energy of Lauren Kanarek.
I don't understand why the Facebook posts and her prior record for harassment and what not was not allowed into court. I'm curious as to what argument was made
Not relevant to current case and not wanting to create bias. It only matters in sentencing
@@truenokill Agree. But it is relevant. Shows she has a history of harassment. If you saw the judge. He doesn't like Michael .
The judge has a hate on for Michael and was harsh toward him.
The judge was incredibly hostile toward Barisone and his defense attorneys, even yelling at them, being condescending, and reprimanding them IN FRONT of the jury, which is a huge no-no for the judge to show so much bias. The judge had it out for Barisone, that’s why he was so strict about not letting certain evidence in. It’s a miracle the jury was able to come to the verdict they did with how hard the judge was trying to sabotage the defense
Thank you everyone for the answer to my question and thought-provoking dialogue
How ironic that I just saw this case on another channel yesterday and searched RUclips for another version. And today - here it is on my new favourite channel. This just made my day. Thank you 😊
Fact is the girl and her BF should have made arrangements to gtfo as soon as she realized the set up wasn't to her specifications.
She really was the problem.
She needed to vacate and get off his property.
She was trying to bully him. She's a New Jersey Lawyer's daughter princess.
She wanted to make this guy coach her and to prioritize her a if he was a servant.
And he's not going to so what's the point of staying on someones property especially since she felt so threatened.
Because I'm not hearing her reasons for why she would not leave.
I hope this guy gets to go home.
This spoiled little girl Lauren is a narcissistic nightmare.
I'm tired of hearing her voice and her smug face and she's just horrid
Old but still milking her old man to support her financially! 😂🤮
Agree 💯. She is ugly inside and out. She purely enjoyed ruining his life. And I wish the prosecutor would charge her and her boyfriend with perjury for changing their testimony and for filling all those false allegations and reports!
Kevin, great work as usual. What a tragic story. I live in NJ and do not remember hearing about this. This woman is obviously a manipulator and spoiled brat, used to getting her way. I am so glad that Mr. Bariosone was not found guilty. What a world we live in.
Excellent defense attorney.
I appreciate how thorough you are with your research Kevin! No stone left unturned and you give us quality content because of your work ethic. We appreciate you and JTL!!!
I appreciate you Mr Cox 😀
Man I feel so bad for this guy!
All those civil services that chick contacted anonymously were acting like a weapon towards that poor guy.
They really enjoyed this opportunity to abuse a good citizen.
this “poor guy” was scamming people with impunity, how do we know he wasn’t abusing children too? Nothing she did justifies him grabbing a gun and shooting. He’s only insane after a year or so in jail, he was quite sane when he drove there and started shooting. Her boyfriend is a hero & this is a sad miscarriage of justice. People feeling sorry for him seem biased against rich people & women.
@@pchaparala It sounds like you havent gotten your ass whooped for talking shit yet. People absolutely sometimes deserve a round in the knee.
@@pchaparala Did you watch even a minute of the trial? This is so far off base it’s almost as Crazy and Lauren & Robert!
Since the creation of “Safe Sport” the main problem is that people have weaponized it. Lauren took that to a new level and weaponized every civil service she could find in addition to safe sport and all of the equestrian ruling bodies too.
@@pchaparala is that you Lauren?
@@pchaparala how do we know you’re not abusing children? I have just as much evidence of you doing it, as you have of Michael doing it. Scary that people as ignorant as you are allowed to vote 😢
“Biased against rich people” lmao He’s the rich one you noob. She was a 30 something years old, relying on Daddy’s $. Michael was a self made millionaire
I think these two are grifters who figured they could drive him into attacking them so they could sue him later, which they are currently doing.
They WERE paying 5000 a month! Quite a bit there!!
@@truenokill Daddy was paying*
@@geneticfreak84 100 percent.. 👍👍
And she will likely win.
@@truenokill The $5,000 was for rent, training and boarding 5 horses. If she didn't like it she should have moved.
I just heard this story the other day on another channel, but you tell it 10x’s better!!👌🏼 💯% So thanks!
I watched this whole trial. This woman is so manipulative and absolutely horrible. While the court case was ongoing, she would go into the chat of the trial and attack anyone that believed that her and her boyfriend were in the wrong. SHE SHOWED HER TRUE COLORS...... end of!!!!!!
Really interesting and complex case. Thanks for the in depth video.
Seen this case in other channels, but not one of them have been as thorough about explaining it as you! Thank you.
With that said, I have a few comments on this...
At first, without knowing the entire situation for the reason mentioned above, I thought both of them were in the wrong. He shouldn't have armed himself and she should've left and sued for her money back. But after listening to all these facts that weren't mentioned in court, I now believe that Mr. Baritone is the one and only true victim.
He was being terrorized, threatened, and harassed on his OWN PROPERTY. The recordings made of him without his authorization. Then her posting them on social media, again without his consent. The defamations made against him - also posting them on social media, like what freaking adolescents do now. Her constant calls to government agencies and making false accusations against him. And then, when ALL of these childish antics didn't work entirely in her favor, they proceeded to physically attack him.
I do believe what someone else posted: That they BOTH attacked him and he was forced to shoot at them to protect his life. And since he was running on pure adrenaline at that time, due to all the stress he was put under by them, he may have developed amnesia. Or maybe he wasn't even the shooter... Her own boyfriend testified he put Mr. Barisone in a chokehold, and stated Mr. Barisone passed out. He then changed the statement immediately after that, and no one questioned this!!
This man tried to get rid of them but couldn't... Literally COULDN'T. From his own property!!
This narcissistic, entitled, psychotic, old ass, spoiled wench really needs to be humbled.
Even though he was acquitted, he's still suffering mentally from what she's put him through. And she's STILL not through with him!! She's still trying hard to sue him by any means necessary... WTF!??
I'm so glad he was acquitted. And glad he's countersuing her, and suing the police department for failing to protect him and his family from this pathetic wench... But he also needs to sue her father. Because he threatened legal action against him if he evicted her. You cannot force anyone to do something they don't want to do... Especially to board someone who's making your life a living hell!! Are these freaks/people serious!???
Praying for Mr. Barisone's mental and well being. Hope he reunites with his family soon 🙏🏼❤
Wow to destroy a man’s lifetime achievement being an Olympian is pure evil!
I am in disbelief that this woman who feared for her life and felt threatened by Michael would approach him first and tell the boyfriend she’s going to handle this She’s got a prior Marine boyfriend, yet she goes out to handle a supposed threatening adversary??? I think they had a plan to do something to Michael and she got shot in the midst
1000 percent agree
5k/month to board 5 horses, yourself, and full training is a hell of a deal too. She cheated out and still wanted more.
Exactly! And I bet she wasn’t even paying that for the entire time. Just like how she was supposed to have 2 horses there yet brought THREE more. She totally took advantage!
@@nicolaxoxo1True, give a person like her an inch. . .
Love your Voice the way you Narate I just can't enough of, keep up the good work, I hope you grow as quick as coffee house, etc
Same here...am glad he noted your comment
Outstanding detail Kevin, your success is well-deserved 🙏
Awesome!! Love TCA
Two of my faves 💪💪
Hey! Thanks for stopping by to check it out. All the best to you as well…just do me a favour and give me a sneak peak of your next case so we can avoid it (kidding of course) 😀
@@JustThoughtLounge I can do better than that, possible collab sometime in the future? Let's keep in touch
Yes, Collab please!!!
Two wonderful channels coming together ❤️
I have watched hundreds and hundreds of true crime videos and this has got to be the first time I find myself feeling empathy for the accused as opposed to the victim. Facebook posts were excluded, and so was the findings of a private investigator...and the jury STILL got it right. He was tormented, bullied, and harassed...wish I had seen her face when the not guilty was read out.
As Judge Judy says....if you don't like it where you live.....MOVE!! Why didn't she move if she was so unhappy and bullied and frightened?
Seen this story covered before, first time it's as clear ! Thanks Kevin.
19,000 pages of social media posts about michael!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she is insane
I feel so so so sorry for Michael. At 57 he looked like 75. How can ppl be so cruel
uncomfortable, unsafe, scared? and why they keep staying there??? Leave! period
Instead, they drove him out of his own house. 🤨
Thanks a lot Kevin for this excellent video... this story is extremely sad and I personally have no trust or sympathy for Lauren and Robert. I was shocked to see Robert's arrogant attitude toward the defence attorney, even kind of laughing at one point. Those kind of people are trouble, all they wanted was a place to stay and being treated like the Queen & King while Michael was considered a slave... Thanks again Kevin
New subscriber🙂I love your channel Kevin. Keep up the great work!
Welcome to the channel 👍🏻
Impressive video. Well well edited and articulated.
Cheers!
Another fantastic video Kevin! Keep ‘em coming 😊
I like how you covered this. I've heard this story from other places, and you don't always hear a fair breakdown of both sides.
When you criticized law enforcement for being dismissive I was glad to hear it. Those people should have been escorted off the property while being sure her horses got proper treatment while their moving situations got ironed out.
I'm on this guys side, but she shouldn't have still been living there to make this guy feel threatened. I believe he overreacted, but Im glad the jury took the care to see his side of things.
The guilty one here is Lauren and her bf, she looks like an entitled brat so used to have things her way. Michael was so right being fearful of her. Hope he gets better
Show barns are full of competitive, narcissistic people. I’ve seen men and women throw away their financial security and relationships chasing those blue ribbons. I willingly left one barn with my horse when the owners’ marriage was failing. Less than a year later, the estranged husband returned and shot and killed his wife and mother-in-law. There was a restraining order against him but that didn’t stop him.
Damn you are right
I’ve had quite a few bad experiences with elite barns too.
So true and from being around many wealthy people I've found that most really wealthy people (multimillionaire/billionaires) are actually really nice but those people that only worth a million or less are very snobby and elitist! Of course there are always exceptions but for the most part that's been my experience.
I love that he filed a counter suit to her civil suit against him. I hope he wins.
He “might” be faking, he “might” be exaggerating, he “might “ have lied to the psychiatrist… but she DID constantly threaten him online, she DID have a history of stalking, she DID falsely report him to cps. It’s not difficult to see who the real victim was.
Another thought- is it possible that the police didn’t investigate as much as they should have because he was a 6’4” man and she was a 5’1” woman? Did they not think it was possible for her to bully him? 🤔
5 foot 3 actually
That judge’s decision to exclude her criminal history & the social media post was horrible.
Exactly... 🤬
Perfectly narrated !
Definitely my new favorite true crime channel 💯
Let me try to keep my excitement about your posting inside since it’s illegal on RUclips to be happy. I’ll just say THANK YOU KEVIN!
Thanks Bella! I know what you mean, sometimes people on here can be a bit harsh for no reason. Just ignore them and I'm not ashamed to say I'm happy to have you here, enjoy the video 😀
No kidding! Be careful, RUclips!
Well said totally agree with you 💯 great video again KEVIN you always show content that is new to me and very understanding videos, we love your channel in IRELAND 👍👏👏🇮🇪☘🙏
😅🤣😂 I didn't know it's illegal to be happy on YT. I'm leaving right after this video
They started criminalizing "happiness" in the 1980s in America!
Unreal that the actual threats she made were not allowed.
35:10 Lauren is absolutely off her face on some kinda substances…she can barely keep her eyes open during her testimony
He was not delusional that Lauren was trying to destroy him and his business. That’s exactly what she was trying to do.
Well-done video.
Loved the balanced, factual portrayal of this case.
You effectively present really intriguing, ambiguous cases that linger in my thoughts long after I've watched the clip. Great journalism. Much beyond the familiar trajectory of many true crime channels. Thank you for all your hard work to bring these cases to our attention.
Kanarek's behavior reminds me a lot of Jamison Bachman's, the serial squatter. They both used extensive knowledge of the law to not only avoid eviction but also bully and cause sadistic, maximum psychological stress to the property owners. I would 100% describe this as some sort of terrorist campaign. She didn't use overt violence, but the weapons she did use - social media, legal maneuvers, veiled threats - was still terrorism as far as I'm concerned. And I wonder if her ultimate goal may have been to take the horse farm from Barisone, either through getting him arrested, destroying his business or just driving him completely from the property. But unfortunately for both of them, she was playing with fire. It's awful that it came to this. I hope that he is able to rally psychologially and financially from this. Please get background checks on your renters, everyone!!
When I read the story in the news when it first broke, I just figured he was guilty based on initial facts. However, when I watched an in-depth report on 48 hours after he was found not guilty, the one main issue that stands out is, it was mentioned that Lauren and her boyfriend hid cameras in the horse stables (and perhaps other areas of the property) to record Michael. And it's obvious to me they were behaving in a way to try to get Michael to say something to them that would make him look bad (and make sure they had a clear recording of it, but it would have to be more then one time, so then they could claim a pattern of 'abuse' by a landlord/employer. Once they had these recording then they could file a lawsuit, knowing that he would most likely settle, rather then have to go to court and damage his reputation/business. His property and horses are worth millions. To me they were looking for a huge payday. Also note Lauren was in her mid 30s at the time this happened and Stil financially dependent on her father (who just happens to be an attorney, makes you wonder if coached her on how to setup a potential lawsuit that would be an easy settlement action, so then he wouldn't have to financially support her anymore). If her situation was that 'abusive', she could have easily just moved back home or elsewhere to work for another equestrian coach/horse stables.
I so very much disagree with court systems that don't allow past offenses to be shown in court. I know people make mistakes in their pasts and can change. But if it got to this point, it's because she hasn't changed. She has continued her attacks and crazy making behavior. Therefore, all past records should have been allowed in court, showing her character. She IS a bully. I'm not a therapist but if this female doesn't have narcissistic personality disorder, I'd be shocked. She had enough charm & charisma to make Michael see a sweet person initially. That's how narcissists pull you in. They all seem friendly and warm at first. Then they eventually show their true colors ... condescending, they think they are better than everyone else ... they have ZERO empathy. They can fake it when they try to draw someone in but they absolutely do not have the ability to think: "How would I feel, if someone did this to me?" And what about the constant posts on social media? The narcissistic smear campaign of course! Trying to ruin someone's reputation without feeling a shred of remorse. Social media is the narcissist's playground. They post everything they think, see, eat. They constantly get on soap boxes. Narcissists are pathological liars and when they talk about themselves, they are the hero or the victim in every story. Never the abuser but if you dig into their pasts, you see the real them.
These two would have destroyed him even if he had trained them personally, and she had still failed to win any prizes. They would have blamed him for sure. They are narcissists
And sociopaths to boot.
Great point. Nothing he did was ever going to be “good enough”. The fact that her father backed her BS & helped bully Michael with legal threats speaks volumes. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree & daddy created a monster
I'm stunned that so much previous evidence wasn't allowed. Stunned at how terrified the Barisones must have been. I'd be paranoid too.These are terrible terrible people.
If fear he will never recover as cases are still ongoing.
Hey Kevin, I just stumbled on your channel and absolutely love your style! Your presentation is fantastic. None of the egocentric drivel that so many true crime channels have so your style is very refreshing. I'm a new subscriber and I have liked and shared several of your videos! Thank you for your hard work, your new friend Jakal from Seattle!
Thanks Jakal! Welcome to the channel 👍🏻
Thank you for covering this strange sad case.
I have met people who expect to the dynamic they grew up enjoying at home where they were treated like a little god to be replicated in a professional environment and when that doesn't happen they dedicate themselves to causing a long campaign of chaos to teach colleagues "a lesson".
This situation reminds me of those people, only much more extreme.
How do you NOT check for gun shot residue? This is why cops near more than a HS diploma
My thought too. I thought it was standard to check for gun shot residue - unless the killer clearly used a water pistol.
You really flesh out stories I've seen before on other channels. Fantastic work. Thank you.
I think this is another example of domestic abuse that ends in violence. When are the authorities going to clue in that when any domestic relationship goes wrong and fear of violence occurs, they have to step in and separate/help the parties? Usually it's partners and that's what makes this case so interesting! Thanks for covering this one, Kevin
What a great video. In depth, well researched and narrated.
I’m sorry did that jerk say, “I don’t know much about guns.” Then admit he was a marine? 😂
Excellent coverage of this story, Kevin, thank you. A very peculiar case, to say the least.
It was a strange one. Harder to put together than initially anticipated.
I'm just hearing about this case today. I didn't watch the trial. The 48 Hours episode on it mentioned that Barisone was staying awake at night to guard himself and his family and property. Was lack of sleep mentioned as a precipitating factor at trial? Just not sleeping for several nights in a row would lead to significant deterioration of mental health including paranoia.
Great job on your channel. I like how you kind of sum it up at the beginning first, so we can kind of see if it's something we want to watch right now. But of course i always do 👍
Glad you're enjoying the channel 🙂
