- 1:15Speaker 1: in a while, you hear about doping or drugging, and

- 2:22Speaker 1: You know, first you doctor Bethany Marshall. You know when
- 2:24Speaker 1: you think of Olympians, you think of the elite. I mean,
- 2:29Speaker 1: I will never forget. I guess his name was Mark Spitz,
- 2:34Speaker 1: and he was an Olympian and he would pose in
- 2:40Speaker 1: his swimsuit with about ten gold medals around his neck.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Then there came Bruce Jenner to Kathalon Olympian winner. I
- 2:53Speaker 1: mean it goes on and on. My son talks about
- 2:55Speaker 1: Usain Bolt all the time. Michael Phelps, we look up
- 3:00Speaker 1: to them, because they epitomize or did epitomize clean living,
- 3:07Speaker 1: devoting themselves to something and hanging in there, finding adversity
- 3:13Speaker 1: until they win the gold to represent our country. When
- 3:16Speaker 1: I hear that one olympian shoots down another equestrian, that
- 3:21Speaker 1: that doesn't that goes against everything we think we know,
- 3:25Speaker 1: doctor Beth Fancy, when you look at these individuals, the
- 3:28Speaker 1: more sophistication, money, wealth, training, gifts and capacities and privileges
- 3:36Speaker 1: in society that a person has, the more they can
- 3:41Speaker 1: use these privileges to hide a very messy pathological interior.
- 3:46Speaker 1: So look at that one astronaut. Do you remember she
- 3:49Speaker 1: went all the way into space. Then she was a
- 3:51Speaker 1: part of a love triangle. She ended up putting on
- 3:54Speaker 1: a pair of diapers driving right. I was just about
- 3:57Speaker 1: to say, is that the woman in the middle of
- 3:59Speaker 1: a love triangle that went after her love rival and
- 4:02Speaker 1: actually drove to the night wearing a pair of adult diapers.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Her name will forever be connected to adult diapers. I mean,
- 4:10Speaker 1: but in this case, you know, you really hit on something.
- 4:12Speaker 1: To Dave Matt Crime online dot Com investigative reporter money,
- 4:16Speaker 1: this is a former equestrian olympian on the grounds of
- 4:22Speaker 1: his ritzy fifty three acre sprawl. Now I don't get it. Barrisone,
- 4:32Speaker 1: a member of the Beijing Summer Games, allegedly guns down
- 4:37Speaker 1: a female equestrian, shooting her twice in the chest in
- 4:43Speaker 1: playing daylight in the afternoon at Hawthorne Farm. That's in
- 4:46Speaker 1: a rural Morris County where there's nothing but I mean
- 4:51Speaker 1: stinking rich people with huge, huge estates. What happened, Dave
- 4:55Speaker 1: mac How did one equestrian go after the other one?
- 4:58Speaker 1: The way it came out in Nancy, in the way
- 5:00Speaker 1: that this is being played out is it was a
- 5:02Speaker 1: landlord tenant dispute. Barrisone, as you mentioned, he owns that
- 5:07Speaker 1: horse farm, this fifty three acre very expensive ritzy equestrian outlet,
- 5:12Speaker 1: and Lauren Canteract and her fiance Rob Goodwin, we're living
- 5:17Speaker 1: on the property while training and raising some horses there
- 5:20Speaker 1: on the farm in association with Michael Barrisone. They had
- 5:24Speaker 1: a conflict. They had a battle over whether or not
- 5:27Speaker 1: Lauren and her fiance could remain at that property. Barrisone
- 5:32Speaker 1: wanted them off of his property. Counteract said no, I
- 5:35Speaker 1: have a right to be here, and that's where the
- 5:38Speaker 1: conflict began. And that's how we ended up in this
- 5:41Speaker 1: horrible mess. Take listen to our friend Tara Jquit CBS two.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Washington Township Police responding to a call at this home
- 5:54Speaker 1: Wednesday around two pm. That's where they found thirty eight
- 6:01Speaker 1: year old Lauren Canteract bleeding and losing consciousness. We have
- 6:04Speaker 1: one not shot. That shooter was identified by Canteract herself.
- 6:12Speaker 1: The criminal complaints states she said, quote Michael Barrosone shot me.
- 6:16Speaker 1: He shot me twice. Police confirm it's former US Olympian
- 6:19Speaker 1: Michael Barrisone. The fifty four year old who traveled with
- 6:22Speaker 1: Team USA to Beijing to compete in dressage, was also
- 6:25Speaker 1: Canoract's landlord. Canteract, an award winning equestrian, herself, was reportedly
- 6:30Speaker 1: living on Barzone's property here at Hawthorne Farm with her fiance,
- 6:33Speaker 1: and there was an ongoing landlord tenant dispute. Gissage A
- 6:37Speaker 1: lot of people may not be familiar with it. Gissage
- 6:40Speaker 1: is an Olympic sport. It really got going in the
- 6:44Speaker 1: Games in Stockholm all the way back in the early
- 6:46Speaker 1: nineteen hundreds and it is when the rider, the equestrian
- 6:52Speaker 1: performs a very intricate series of very precise horseback maneuvers,
- 6:58Speaker 1: and the riders are scord on a scale of z.
- 7:00Speaker 1: He rode to ten by a panel of international judges.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Now with me right now, a dressage trainer, an expert.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Her name is Dianna Corby. Okay, Dianna, don't laugh. But
- 7:12Speaker 1: all I can think about is when I was on
- 7:14Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars and my partner, an irishman Tristan mcmadus,
- 7:21Speaker 1: wanted to do every time. Tristan loved to do intricate
- 7:25Speaker 1: dance steps and you know, turning your toes this way
- 7:29Speaker 1: in that way and whirling around, and he was really
- 7:32Speaker 1: good at it. I, however, was not as good at it.
- 7:36Speaker 1: But I can't imagine it was hard enough for me
- 7:38Speaker 1: to do that much less get a horse to Just
- 7:41Speaker 1: having a really bad flashback of what what was that dance? Oh?
- 7:46Speaker 1: The quick step? Oh gosh? Oh man, Okay, now go ahead,
- 7:51Speaker 1: explain to me dressage. How did it happen? And why
- 7:54Speaker 1: do we call it dressage? It looks like dressage, but
- 7:57Speaker 1: we call it dressage. Yeah. So dressage is a French
- 8:01Speaker 1: word that means training, and it was started. It originated
- 8:07Speaker 1: a long time ago when horses were used in battle
- 8:12Speaker 1: and that's how the discipline of dressage came about. We
- 8:17Speaker 1: obviously no longer use horses in battle, but the movements
- 8:21Speaker 1: that were used in defense and warfare are still are
- 8:27Speaker 1: used now today in the Olympic Games. So it is
- 8:32Speaker 1: similar to the dance that you're referring to, except now
- 8:36Speaker 1: we have a thousand pound animal that doesn't speak English
- 8:42Speaker 1: that you're trying to communicate with through the most subtle aids,
- 8:47Speaker 1: using your body language, your weight, and trying to do
- 8:54Speaker 1: a pattern that is judged by different judges around the
- 9:00Speaker 1: arena and can be seen of course in the Olympics
- 9:03Speaker 1: today crime stories with Nancy Grace. Because of this, I've
- 9:16Speaker 1: been looking at videos of dressage and I grew up
- 9:20Speaker 1: in a very very rural area in Middle Georgia and
- 9:24Speaker 1: we were around cows and horses and all sorts of animals.
- 9:28Speaker 1: And when you say a thousand pound animal trying to
- 9:31Speaker 1: get it to do these intricate it's like the horse
- 9:34Speaker 1: is doing intricate dance steps and it's amazing. You know
- 9:39Speaker 1: what else hits me to Ashley Wilcott, judge trial lawyer.
- 9:42Speaker 1: You can find her at Ashley Wilcott dot com. This
- 9:45Speaker 1: guy Michael Barrisone was named the Sportsman International Horseman of
- 9:51Speaker 1: the Year and has trained many many Olympians and he
- 9:57Speaker 1: operates the Barrison Dressage training Facility on a long valley farm,
- 10:04Speaker 1: you know, and it's just eleven miles from the US
- 10:07Speaker 1: Equestrian team's headquarters in Gladstone. Now it's very rarefied equestrian
- 10:15Speaker 1: much less this dressage. Have you noticed, Ashley, the more
- 10:22Speaker 1: rarefied and the richer. And I hate to say it
- 10:25Speaker 1: because I push education on my children constantly. The smarter
- 10:31Speaker 1: people get the sneakier they are, and it seems like
- 10:34Speaker 1: they don't really have enough to do, and they sit
- 10:37Speaker 1: around and think about murdering each other. Now I'm gonna
- 10:39Speaker 1: have to pull on a shrink on that. But help
- 10:41Speaker 1: me out, Ashley. This is a crazy case. So first
- 10:44Speaker 1: of all, you're right, the equestrian world is so is
- 10:48Speaker 1: an expensive sport, right, It is a very expensive story.
- 10:52Speaker 1: There you go. You just hit the nail on the head.
- 10:54Speaker 1: That is why it's so elite and rarefied. It's the
- 10:58Speaker 1: only world I can really think to describe it because
- 11:00Speaker 1: nobody else can afford it. I mean I can as
- 11:03Speaker 1: a team, I can afford a pair of beebops, because
- 11:06Speaker 1: that's all I had to buy, you know, the blue
- 11:08Speaker 1: and white satellocks for to be a cheerleader. Okay, that's
- 11:12Speaker 1: all I had to buy. The school bought the uniform
- 11:15Speaker 1: and the pom poms. But equestrian, that's thousands and thousands.
- 11:21Speaker 1: Deanna Corby, how much would it take for a little girl,
- 11:24Speaker 1: let's just say eleven to get outfitted in board a
- 11:29Speaker 1: horse and learn equestrian A lot of money. Um, if
- 11:34Speaker 1: you want the breakdown, you know, Um, let's see at
- 11:38Speaker 1: my facility. Board is eight hundred and fifty dollars a
- 11:42Speaker 1: month and I was just gagging go ahead, and then, um,
- 11:49Speaker 1: training depends on depending on how much I'm sorry that
- 11:52Speaker 1: choked me up so much to go ahead training? Then
- 11:54Speaker 1: what happens? Yeah, training, depending on how much you want,
- 11:58Speaker 1: you could be looking at another eight hundred dollars a
- 12:00Speaker 1: month or so, and um, you know, boots three hundred
- 12:05Speaker 1: dollars for the rider saddle, as much as five thousand
- 12:10Speaker 1: dollars for what what what? Wait? Wait, what costs five
- 12:14Speaker 1: thousand dollars the saddle, the saddle, the saddle alone. Okay,
- 12:20Speaker 1: you know, Ashley, you hit the nail on the hand
- 12:22Speaker 1: it's all money. It is all money. And let me
- 12:25Speaker 1: just I'm sorry, Nancy. I have to say this, as
- 12:27Speaker 1: you and I both know. Listen, just because you have
- 12:30Speaker 1: money and expertise, super smart doesn't mean you can't be
- 12:35Speaker 1: a criminal or do something that you shouldn't. I mean,
- 12:38Speaker 1: this man, for God's sake, shot someone over a landlord
- 12:43Speaker 1: tenant dispute. How many people in America have landlord tenant disputes.
- 12:47Speaker 1: I think it was more than shoot each other. I
- 12:49Speaker 1: think it was more than that. There has to be
- 12:52Speaker 1: more to this than over rent or her moving out
- 12:55Speaker 1: of their ritzy compound. Joining me right now for an
- 12:59Speaker 1: NYPD John Cardillo, John, I don't believe this is just
- 13:03Speaker 1: over lay in lord tennant, you know, just blastome lady
- 13:08Speaker 1: h much less some ritzy equestrian, high brow woman. No
- 13:14Speaker 1: over no, no, no, just the rent. I'm not buying that.
- 13:18Speaker 1: I think there's more to it. You've seen some of
- 13:20Speaker 1: the homicides way and John, Yeah, I tend to agree
- 13:22Speaker 1: with you, Nancy, And I'll look at this, uh in
- 13:24Speaker 1: a dual fashion. I actually own horses myself. I ride
- 13:27Speaker 1: quite a bit. There's a lot of drama out at
- 13:30Speaker 1: the barn. People get very upset over the littlest things.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Oh wait a minute, that sounds like an episode of
- 13:37Speaker 1: something drama out of the barn. Go ahead, corbies will
- 13:40Speaker 1: tell you though. I mean the one one girl puts
- 13:43Speaker 1: her horse in a pasture with someone else's and the
- 13:46Speaker 1: horses kick each other. There's a little cut. My god,
- 13:49Speaker 1: you would think they ran over each other's kids. It's
- 13:52Speaker 1: it's there's a lot of drama. So I tend to agree.
- 13:54Speaker 1: But everybody on the call is correct, from the corby's
- 13:57Speaker 1: to the doctors. It doesn't your net, Earth doesn't matter.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Look at Jeff Epstein, right, Your network doesn't matter as
- 14:04Speaker 1: to whether or not you can be a heinous criminal.
- 14:07Speaker 1: But I do think this was over more than Hey,
- 14:10Speaker 1: I no longer want you to train here. And as
- 14:12Speaker 1: I read the history, in the fact pattern of the case,
- 14:16Speaker 1: we had these allegations. Now that in itself deserves an investigate.
- 14:21Speaker 1: What allegations The allegations that the victim made it against
- 14:25Speaker 1: barisone that he had abuse, sexually molested his children, things
- 14:29Speaker 1: of that nature. Okay, stop everything, stop everything. Cardillo has
- 14:37Speaker 1: just struck a nerve. You just cut the chase, right,
- 14:42Speaker 1: Dave mac Hello Crime Online emphasis investigative reporter. Investigate, you investigate,
- 14:52Speaker 1: then you report I didn't hear anything about claims of
- 14:55Speaker 1: sex abuse. Why did I get that from John Cardillo,
- 14:58Speaker 1: Dave mac investigate reporter. The reason you got that from
- 15:02Speaker 1: John and not me is because when this was discussed
- 15:06Speaker 1: at his bail hearing, Okay, when Barrosone was in court,
- 15:09Speaker 1: it was all about a tenant landlord issue. That was
- 15:13Speaker 1: their argument. However, in the week before this shooting occurred Nancy,
- 15:19Speaker 1: there were six calls by police to the farm. Lauren
- 15:22Speaker 1: Canteract had made a number of complaints against Barrosone as
- 15:26Speaker 1: her landlord, about the condition of the home and that
- 15:30Speaker 1: he was violating codes. But another call was made to
- 15:33Speaker 1: the New Jersey version of Child Protective Services where canteract
- 15:37Speaker 1: And now this is purely us guessing as to what
- 15:40Speaker 1: she said. We know she made a call to Child
- 15:44Speaker 1: Protective Services. We don't know what she alleged, but we
- 15:47Speaker 1: know that about an hour before the shooting occurred, New
- 15:52Speaker 1: Jersey Child Protective Services were in They were there at
- 15:55Speaker 1: the farm interviewing Barrosone about his potential abuse of his
- 16:00Speaker 1: future step children. He's engaged to a woman who has
- 16:02Speaker 1: minor children as soon as New Jersey CPS leaves the property,
- 16:08Speaker 1: he marches out to the house. It's a two story
- 16:10Speaker 1: house in the middle of his property, and he walks
- 16:12Speaker 1: out there and confronts Lauren Counteract and her fiance, Rob Goodwin.
- 16:18Speaker 1: That's what happened. That's what led up to this actual shooting.
- 16:21Speaker 1: So this is not over rent. This is not over
- 16:25Speaker 1: rent at all. I knew it. I knew it, and
- 16:29Speaker 1: I knew it. Hold on, guys, I'm being joined right
- 16:31Speaker 1: now by Stephen Corby, right now, lawyer in an niche area,
- 16:36Speaker 1: an expert in safe sport. Stephen Corby, you know, at
- 16:41Speaker 1: first blush people may think, well, he had a weapon
- 16:46Speaker 1: in his barn for some reason and it went off.
- 16:50Speaker 1: That's not what happened at all. But I'm want your
- 16:52Speaker 1: opinion on what went down and way in on how
- 16:56Speaker 1: this relates to safe sports. Stephen Corby, Well, I think
- 17:00Speaker 1: it's important, Nancy to look at the timeline of events
- 17:02Speaker 1: that occurred and bleeding up to the shooting. So right before,
- 17:07Speaker 1: only a few days before the shooting occurred. Another Olympian
- 17:10Speaker 1: was banned permanently by safe Sport, George Morris, who was
- 17:16Speaker 1: given a lifetime band due to allegations of sexual assault
- 17:19Speaker 1: on miners, and the victim in this case had made
- 17:23Speaker 1: comments on Facebook that she was interested or maybe even
- 17:27Speaker 1: had contacted Safe Sport to tell them about some things
- 17:32Speaker 1: that Barrisone had allegedly done. And so in his mind
- 17:36Speaker 1: he's thinking, well, if I get banned, that's my entire livelihood.
- 17:40Speaker 1: And this other Olympian who's even bigger than I am,
- 17:43Speaker 1: just got banned for life after other allegations of the sort.
- 17:47Speaker 1: So this is only a couple days later. And what
- 17:49Speaker 1: you have to know about Safe Sport Nancy is it
- 17:51Speaker 1: was put in place after everything happened with the horrible
- 17:55Speaker 1: Larry Nasser situation, and it got moved over and it
- 17:58Speaker 1: covers all Olympians and also now covers the entire United
- 18:01Speaker 1: States Equestrian Foundation or Federation, and so its purpose is
- 18:06Speaker 1: mainly to investigate claims of sexual assault of members or
- 18:10Speaker 1: by members in that community and to determine whether or
- 18:13Speaker 1: not they can continue to stay a part of the organization.
- 18:15Speaker 1: And for some of these big guys, if they can't
- 18:18Speaker 1: be a part of the organization anymore, they lose millions,
- 18:20Speaker 1: millions of dollars. I have dedicated my life to crime victims,
- 18:32Speaker 1: to giving a voice to those who can no longer
- 18:35Speaker 1: speak for themselves. And that is why I work with
- 18:38Speaker 1: Oxygen to create a new show. Injustice with Nancy Grace.
- 18:43Speaker 1: We investigate cases that I believe never got it right,
- 18:48Speaker 1: from wrongly accused to botched investigations, to unclear motives to
- 18:54Speaker 1: unjust sentences. I don't just cover cases solve them. I
- 19:01Speaker 1: put my heart and soul in it. Dig deep, look
- 19:05Speaker 1: at the background, at the crime scene, at the families,
- 19:08Speaker 1: at the witnesses. I look at every tiny detail because

- 19:52Speaker 1: beautiful and a renowned equestrian. That doesn't happen overnight. Doctor
- 19:58Speaker 1: Bethany didn't just get there overnight, but she walked in
- 20:03Speaker 1: fear at pretty kisteen in the morning, there was like
- 20:07Speaker 1: a very very suspicious looking vehicle that came in to
- 20:13Speaker 1: the driveway going very slowly with a large suv and
- 20:18Speaker 1: it was going very slowly. I st just texted the
- 20:20Speaker 1: bar owner, how are you calling about the sufficial vehicle now? Yeah,
- 20:24Speaker 1: it just came back. Okay, hold on, we're weapons and
- 20:28Speaker 1: Folter mentioned, um, no, it all happened. Was just blacked
- 20:34Speaker 1: out at suv with like some guys whom looking a
- 20:36Speaker 1: cigarette and the front who had never seen before except
- 20:38Speaker 1: before last night, three fifteen in the morning, and we
- 20:42Speaker 1: overheard them talking about like, uh, sitting guys who like
- 20:46Speaker 1: hurt us, kill us whatever. We hold it to the
- 20:49Speaker 1: officers stefan noon and they know how we have the
- 20:53Speaker 1: SISTAINI and everything. Are you or anyone else in danger
- 20:56Speaker 1: right now? I'm out here again. What are you or
- 21:00Speaker 1: anyone else in danger right now? We feel very much
- 21:03Speaker 1: that he could be. You were just hearing nine one
- 21:05Speaker 1: one and listen to one of her posts. I'm being
- 21:08Speaker 1: bullied by a six foot three inch men bullied to
- 21:11Speaker 1: the point I'm afraid another post. Some people in life
- 21:16Speaker 1: seem to feel they are untouchable by anyone They feel
- 21:19Speaker 1: that just because they have one accomplishment under their belt,
- 21:22Speaker 1: that everyone will believe every word they say. I must
- 21:25Speaker 1: be very careful and take every single legal precaution I can,
- 21:29Speaker 1: as well as employ every resource to rectify this. Everything
- 21:36Speaker 1: from my life, livelihood, and even my writing career have
- 21:39Speaker 1: all been threatened should I refuse to adhere to the
- 21:44Speaker 1: things I've been being put through constantly. Those are some
- 21:48Speaker 1: of her post doctor Bethany. Wow. Wow. You know what
- 21:52Speaker 1: that tells me, Nancy, is that he was obsessed with her.
- 21:57Speaker 1: He was violating her rights. And we know if somebody,
- 22:00Speaker 1: let's look at Harvey Weinstein, if somebody has the kind
- 22:03Speaker 1: of personality where they violate the rights of others, where
- 22:06Speaker 1: they lack empathy, they relate to others on the basis
- 22:09Speaker 1: of power. They want to exploit and take advantage of
- 22:12Speaker 1: other people. The more money and the more wealth they have,
- 22:15Speaker 1: the more access they have to abusing everybody around them.
- 22:19Speaker 1: And this, Michael barrisone may have had something that we
- 22:23Speaker 1: call obsessional paranoia. That is the belief that somebody's presence
- 22:29Speaker 1: here on earth, another person's presence is there to humiliate you,
- 22:33Speaker 1: hurt you, harm you in some way, or is making
- 22:37Speaker 1: your life worse in some way, and people who have
- 22:40Speaker 1: obsessional paranoia become preoccupied with going after the victim to
- 22:45Speaker 1: punish them. And you know, Nancy, if she was writing
- 22:48Speaker 1: about this on Facebook, she wanted other people to know.
- 22:51Speaker 1: I mean, she really did feel frightened. It's it's not
- 22:53Speaker 1: like she's just saying it to her fiance at night.
- 22:55Speaker 1: She is putting this out in a public forum so
- 22:58Speaker 1: people will know that if something happens to her, it's
- 23:02Speaker 1: because of Michael Barrisone. And it's interesting she says he
- 23:05Speaker 1: has one accomplishment. She has many accomplishments, so keep using
- 23:10Speaker 1: this one accomplishment to have power over her. So note
- 23:13Speaker 1: that this is not a rental or tenant dispute. This
- 23:15Speaker 1: is somebody who wanted to have power over her and
- 23:17Speaker 1: wanted to punish her, and it escalated. Take a listen
- 23:20Speaker 1: to our friend at CBS two Tierra Jagway. According to
- 23:23Speaker 1: the complaint, when police arrived, they found Canterac's fiance and
- 23:26Speaker 1: Barrisone on the ground wrestling for the gun after Barrizone
- 23:29Speaker 1: fired shots and missed. Barrozone was taken into custody at
- 23:40Speaker 1: the scene and reportedly stayed in multiple Times to police quote,
- 23:43Speaker 1: I had a good life. The shooting taking place just
- 23:46Speaker 1: days after Lauren Canerac's close friend, confirms the CBS two
- 23:49Speaker 1: She posted on her Facebook page quote, I'm being bullied
- 23:52Speaker 1: by a six three man, bullied to the point I'm
- 23:54Speaker 1: afraid her neighbors. At a loss for words, stuff like
- 23:57Speaker 1: that doesn't mean not happen around here. So that's odd,
- 24:02Speaker 1: and he's right. Our town has been fortunate that for
- 24:05Speaker 1: the last four or five years, we've actually been listed
- 24:07Speaker 1: as one of the most these safest towns in the nation,
- 24:10Speaker 1: according to the Morris County Prosecutor's Office. Michael barrisone is
- 24:12Speaker 1: being evaluated at a local hospital. Actually, Wilcott judge trial
- 24:16Speaker 1: lawyer at Scott dot com. Have you noticed how rich
- 24:20Speaker 1: and educated people don't think crime can ever enter their neighborhood.
- 24:25Speaker 1: That's exactly what I was thinking during this. They don't
- 24:28Speaker 1: think it can enter their neighborhood. But here's the other
- 24:30Speaker 1: half of it. Sometimes those are the very people that
- 24:33Speaker 1: think they're beyond the law, that they can get away
- 24:35Speaker 1: with it because they have such such a belief that
- 24:39Speaker 1: they're right, everybody else is wrong, and they're untouchable, you
- 24:42Speaker 1: know too Joseph Scot Morgan joining me, professor of forensics
- 24:45Speaker 1: at Jacksonville State University and author of Blood Beneath My
- 24:48Speaker 1: Feet on Amazon. Joe Scott, I find these postings to
- 24:54Speaker 1: be very probative as to the victim's state of mind
- 25:00Speaker 1: at the time she was shot. Now, whether they could
- 25:03Speaker 1: come into evidence as a whole other can of worms,
- 25:05Speaker 1: that's an evidentiary matter. But I find them very probitive.
- 25:09Speaker 1: What else jumps out at you as forensic proof in
- 25:13Speaker 1: this case, well, obviously the shooting itself, Nancy, is going
- 25:16Speaker 1: to give you an idea of the relationship physical relationship
- 25:20Speaker 1: between them relative to things like range of fire. The
- 25:23Speaker 1: police officer that was calling out on the radio had said,
- 25:25Speaker 1: it looks like the subject has sustained two very close
- 25:30Speaker 1: range gunshot wounds. But you got to dig a little
- 25:32Speaker 1: bit deeper, Nancy, with these statements. This cuts both ways.
- 25:37Speaker 1: This person is saying she's being bullied, this person is
- 25:40Speaker 1: filing claims relative to things like, you know, a city
- 25:46Speaker 1: ordinance violations, and she's actually going out there saying this
- 25:49Speaker 1: man is a sexual predator. And you know, I gotta
- 25:53Speaker 1: tell you, Nancy, it seems as though she's throwing a
- 25:56Speaker 1: lot of stuff against the wall relative to this man's
- 25:58Speaker 1: life to see what it's going to stick. Uh. Yeah,
- 26:01Speaker 1: she's saying that he had one accomplishment. Well, another major
- 26:04Speaker 1: accomplishment is he's a businessman. He runs, he runs this facility,
- 26:09Speaker 1: and when it comes down to it, these people very
- 26:11Speaker 1: well may have been squatting and have been kneeling him
- 26:14Speaker 1: all these years or all these months just taking advantage
- 26:17Speaker 1: of How okay, so all these months, if they be
- 26:20Speaker 1: taking advantage of him, that tess one of your working theories.
- 26:23Speaker 1: But then when she reports alleged sex abuse on his part,
- 26:28Speaker 1: then he suddenly shoots her. Mm. Interesting in keeping with
- 26:34Speaker 1: Joff Scott Morgan's working theory, take a listen to Barrison's
- 26:38Speaker 1: defense lawyer Jeff Simson fifty four years Mister barros Selman
- 26:43Speaker 1: has not had a blemish on his record. We also
- 26:46Speaker 1: know him that it is well known within the community.
- 26:49Speaker 1: He owns the property on which the witched victims or
- 26:53Speaker 1: squatters judge we're asked to, We've numerous judges have taken
- 26:57Speaker 1: over the property. Why don't you say you characterize him
- 26:59Speaker 1: a squat They are judge squatters in the law has
- 27:03Speaker 1: a particular connotation different than tenants law the tenants. That's
- 27:08Speaker 1: my understuading. It's my understanding. You can correct me from
- 27:11Speaker 1: the all. What was the nature of their relationship? He
- 27:14Speaker 1: was standing on the property. The relationship was Judge that
- 27:17Speaker 1: what they were finished training the horses, they were no
- 27:21Speaker 1: longer allowed to stay on the part was that written
- 27:25Speaker 1: in name Lisa Quiver sUAS. I don't believe so. But
- 27:28Speaker 1: these people have not paid right. When I say squatters, Judge,
- 27:32Speaker 1: I mean squatters simply because they were no longer allowed
- 27:35Speaker 1: to be on their property pursued to their verbal agreement
- 27:38Speaker 1: with mister Garrison. So I'm so glad they said that that.
- 27:41Speaker 1: That really cleared everything up for me. So they're squatters.
- 27:45Speaker 1: So he shot her twice in the chest. You know what,
- 27:48Speaker 1: I don't think that's how the eviction process is supposed
- 27:51Speaker 1: to work. Straight out to Stephen Corby, not only an
- 27:54Speaker 1: expert in safe sport but lawyer as well. Stephen Corby,
- 27:57Speaker 1: what about it? Yeah, I completely agree with you, Nancy.
- 27:59Speaker 1: I'm actually a bit surprised that the Defense Council focused
- 28:03Speaker 1: so much on that that would justify any of the
- 28:05Speaker 1: actions that occurred. In fact, if anything, it just goes
- 28:08Speaker 1: further to show that his own client was frustrated at
- 28:11Speaker 1: the process because he believes that they are squatters instead
- 28:13Speaker 1: of lawful tenants. But you know, the relationship between these
- 28:16Speaker 1: parties goes back pretty far. It sounds like the victim
- 28:20Speaker 1: had been training horses with barrisone in twenty eighteen as
- 28:23Speaker 1: well throughout the whole summer, and had trained at the
- 28:26Speaker 1: beginning of this summer as well, and some of these
- 28:28Speaker 1: problems it looks like didn't start until the end of
- 28:30Speaker 1: June or July. And when you're talking about moving this
- 28:33Speaker 1: many horses and you've been at a facility for so long,
- 28:35Speaker 1: of course you can't get immediately out. And so even
- 28:38Speaker 1: without a contract, I don't see how there wouldn't be
- 28:40Speaker 1: a landlord tenant relationship that would require some sort of
- 28:43Speaker 1: lawful eviction clime stories with Nancy Grace. Yeah, I own
- 28:58Speaker 1: this place via some who have been living on this place.
- 29:02Speaker 1: And we're told to knocking in the horse barn after
- 29:04Speaker 1: nine pm. And they're in the horse barn. They're scumbags
- 29:08Speaker 1: and I want them warned. They have chased us out
- 29:11Speaker 1: of our house and I need this still with tonight,
- 29:13Speaker 1: you were just hearing a series of nine one one
- 29:16Speaker 1: calls calls it were brewing before the double shooting went down,
- 29:21Speaker 1: to suggest that he shot them because they were squatters.
- 29:25Speaker 1: That's not self defense. That is shooting out of anger
- 29:30Speaker 1: or revenge. That equals in many cases murder charges when
- 29:36Speaker 1: you shoot someone out of anger or revenge. Take a
- 29:39Speaker 1: listen to what the prosecutor there in Morris County says
- 29:41Speaker 1: Christopher Shellhorn. She's sustained two gunstout wounds to the to
- 29:44Speaker 1: the Torso judge, she is receiving excellent medical she even
- 29:48Speaker 1: have worst town medical center. As we've come to know
- 29:51Speaker 1: through other cases. The second victim RG has returned to
- 29:56Speaker 1: the residents. He's continued to care for the horse is
- 30:00Speaker 1: that are on the property, has continued to maintain that
- 30:03Speaker 1: I guess association with the stables. Certainly there is a
- 30:09Speaker 1: real danger to the victims here. The defendant went there
- 30:13Speaker 1: on August seven with a particular goal in mind, and
- 30:16Speaker 1: that was he could not find resolution through the civil courts,
- 30:20Speaker 1: He could not find resolution through the police, and he
- 30:22Speaker 1: went there that day with an intention to find resolution
- 30:25Speaker 1: by murdering his adversaries. You know, this woman sustains two
- 30:30Speaker 1: gunshots to the torso over what Dave Matt Crime online
- 30:34Speaker 1: dot Com investigative reporter explain the timeline to me again,
- 30:38Speaker 1: where you believe she made a sex abuse claim against
- 30:45Speaker 1: the equestrian olympian Michael beerrisone just before the shooting. Well,
- 30:52Speaker 1: what we know, Nancy, is that just before the shooting,
- 30:55Speaker 1: the New Jersey version of Child Protective Services actually was
- 30:59Speaker 1: on the premise is doing a one on one interview
- 31:02Speaker 1: with Michael Barrozone. They were there discussing his future step children,
- 31:07Speaker 1: the children the minor children of his fiance. After they left,
- 31:12Speaker 1: that's when Michael Barrozone grabbed that black and pink gun
- 31:15Speaker 1: and went to confront Lauren Canteract and her fiance Rob Goodwin. So,
- 31:20Speaker 1: bottom line, how do we prove or disprove this to you?
- 31:24Speaker 1: Doctor Bethany Marshall, psychoanas joining me out of la Doctor Bethany,
- 31:28Speaker 1: what do you make of the sequence of the events
- 31:31Speaker 1: and now she's fighting for her life in a hospital bed. Well,
- 31:34Speaker 1: I think that there are no perfect victims. Obviously they
- 31:38Speaker 1: were playing into the situation with Barrozone in some way,
- 31:42Speaker 1: but look, only one person pulled a trigger, that is
- 31:44Speaker 1: the perpetrator and that tells me that he is the
- 31:48Speaker 1: one who have the homicidal thoughts, He is the one
- 31:51Speaker 1: who's mostly at fault. It seems like, you know, sometimes
- 31:54Speaker 1: people can fight, but they don't really understand completely what
- 31:58Speaker 1: they're fighting about. And it seems to me that the
- 32:01Speaker 1: three of these three individuals were engaged in some vicious
- 32:06Speaker 1: fight that we, as the outsiders, cannot be privy to.
- 32:10Speaker 1: And the fight may have even been about the horses,
- 32:13Speaker 1: like how well the horses were cared for. It could
- 32:15Speaker 1: have been about values and ethics, that they felt that
- 32:19Speaker 1: they were better horsey people than Barristone was, or they
- 32:22Speaker 1: didn't like the way he was taking care of the property,
- 32:25Speaker 1: or maybe they became obsessed with the new stepchildren and
- 32:29Speaker 1: that he was going to violate them. But there was
- 32:32Speaker 1: some colossal war taking place between the three of them
- 32:36Speaker 1: over something that we cannot know about. It is not
- 32:40Speaker 1: about tenants rights, it is really not, and I don't
- 32:43Speaker 1: think it was about the step children. It was probably
- 32:45Speaker 1: some ideology. But I think that when they reported him
- 32:49Speaker 1: as a possible perpetrator to the stepchildren, they were taking
- 32:53Speaker 1: something precious away from him, which was this potential marriage.
- 32:57Speaker 1: And we know when somebody's already homicidal, they're about to
- 33:00Speaker 1: face up with loss, they become even more homicidal. So
- 33:04Speaker 1: I think that that was the final precipitating event before
- 33:09Speaker 1: he went over and shot her twice in the chest.
- 33:11Speaker 1: You wanted to kill her, Nancy. He shot her in
- 33:13Speaker 1: the in the chest. He aimed to kill, and not
- 33:15Speaker 1: once but twice. To Deanna Corby, jassage trainer and expert, Danna,
- 33:22Speaker 1: it's hard for regular people like me, like a lot
- 33:27Speaker 1: of us, to relate to this world, this elite world
- 33:32Speaker 1: of multi millionaires equestrian experts in that culture are the
- 33:39Speaker 1: coaches and the trainers like Demi Gods. Well, how do
- 33:44Speaker 1: they get away with it? Well, yeah, they kind of
- 33:47Speaker 1: are like celebrities. Um. Michael barrisone is a highly accomplished
- 33:51Speaker 1: and sought after Olympic level jassage trainer and he actively
- 33:55Speaker 1: trains many many students and in indies instructor trainer and
- 34:02Speaker 1: student relationships, the relationship becomes really really close because the
- 34:07Speaker 1: large amount of time that they're spent together and the
- 34:11Speaker 1: trust that's required to work together. So here you are
- 34:15Speaker 1: as a student trusting your trainer, spending a ton of
- 34:18Speaker 1: time with the trainer. You admire this person, you want
- 34:22Speaker 1: to learn from this person, you want to be like
- 34:24Speaker 1: this person, and you sort of become jaded in your
- 34:32Speaker 1: vision of that person, or you can become jaded in
- 34:36Speaker 1: your vision of that person because that person that you're
- 34:39Speaker 1: training with is your idol. So it's easy to overlook things.
- 34:42Speaker 1: I guess, Stephen Corby, what will happen now, Stephen Corby
- 34:45Speaker 1: with me, lawyer and renowned expert in safe sport, Nancy, Yeah,
- 34:50Speaker 1: so I agree that I think it's very unlikely to
- 34:53Speaker 1: be a landlord tenant issue. I don't think that that's
- 34:55Speaker 1: probably what triggered it, and I think your instincts are
- 34:57Speaker 1: right there. You know again, I I think this is
- 35:01Speaker 1: really about the accusations of child abuse and how it
- 35:04Speaker 1: ties in with the safe sport world because of the
- 35:09Speaker 1: loss of livelihood and possibly the loss of a significant
- 35:11Speaker 1: amount of money. And to your point earlier than you
- 35:14Speaker 1: asked Diana, about why people allow these these trainers to
- 35:18Speaker 1: really have so much power and why they don't speak
- 35:21Speaker 1: up against them, And that's the whole reason safe sport exists.
- 35:24Speaker 1: It's because people were afraid to make allegations or accusations
- 35:28Speaker 1: against persons because then they would be ostracized in their
- 35:30Speaker 1: communities and possibly not allowed to train with other famous professionals.
- 35:35Speaker 1: And so it was this real big fear of silence,
- 35:38Speaker 1: and so Safe Sport came along and said, Okay, make
- 35:41Speaker 1: your accusations to us. We'll investigate, we'll keep everything quiet,
- 35:44Speaker 1: we won't let anyone say anything about the accusers or
- 35:48Speaker 1: the victims, and will make an independent termination that won't
- 35:51Speaker 1: harm your future career. And that's the reason it's really
- 35:55Speaker 1: been put into places to help make people feel safe
- 35:58Speaker 1: in making these accusations. Fortunately, it didn't seem to make
- 36:03Speaker 1: the victim, Lauren here in the situation safe. Dave Mack,
- 36:06Speaker 1: this guy now sitting behind bars, a US equestrian olympian,
- 36:13Speaker 1: after you know, pounding this woman with at least two
- 36:17Speaker 1: gunshot ones to the Torso. I think it was about money.
- 36:21Speaker 1: I think it was about the alleged sex allegations. But
- 36:27Speaker 1: I think more than that, I really believe it's about
- 36:30Speaker 1: status and reputation and the way he perceives he's viewed
- 36:35Speaker 1: in this rarefied equestrian community. I think that's what he
- 36:38Speaker 1: didn't want. He didn't want to be embarrassed by her
- 36:41Speaker 1: and her claims. I think that was the motive. I
- 36:43Speaker 1: think you're absolutely right. See, Lauren had been around Barrizone
- 36:48Speaker 1: for a long time and apparently there were no complaints.
- 36:50Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, all of a sudden, in
- 36:52Speaker 1: the last couple of months, one complaint after another. It
- 36:55Speaker 1: was just throwing. It was like throwing complaints against a wall.
- 36:58Speaker 1: We wait as justice unfolds. Financy Grace Crime Stories, signing off,
