A jury in New Jersey found a former Olympic equestrian rider and star trainer was not guilty by reason of insanity in the shooting of a woman living at his training centre three years ago, the Associated Press reported.
Michael Barisone, a storied figure in the dressage world who had served as a rider in the 2008 Olympics for the US team and had coached one of the riders on the US squad that took home the bronze medal in the 2016 Olympics, was staring down charges of attempted murder and others for the August 2019 shooting of Lauren Kanarek.
