CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, deceased/not found, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #62

[Jmoose]

Was it a true Voir Dire or his usual "testimony cross" type faux voir dire?

I think I'm going to call it "Voir Dire Sidestep into Cross" move....

Shameful and so so wrong.

Glad Judge R shut down the insanity.

All just designed to attempt to derail the prosecution’s questioning of the witness

AHA!!!
Phones can alert for Thunderstorms !!!

Excellent-so, soon we will know if there was one on the night before Jennifer was killed! As if it is at all relevant!

I don’t think they are doing more than just giving the jury a basis on which to consider the circumstantial evidence that the defendant who is the one on trial was not “just in the wrong place at the wrong time.” The defense story is she had no idea what was going on, everything has an innocent explanation from her vantage point. The beige clothes. The defense objecting “what does this have to do with my client?” With her crass language and lack of empathy about the victim - you start to see the side of her that scratches that nagging itch of ”why”? She has animus towards the victim. The emoji just jumped out to me like “I’m turned on by what you (FD) are in the process of doing - which means I have knowledge of what you are doing and I have a vested interest in the result.“ So I don’t think there is a different plot out there - I think the State is helping the Jury focus on the defendant’s individual knowledge, consciousness of guilt and culpability. The State has been criticized in the media, fairly in some cases, for not linking MT to the crime. That is what they are doing now. and that is way so many here say “ be patient, more to come”. I just sense a “momentum shift” away of what FD was doing and what she was doing and thinking while the crime was in process.

Yes, I see aspects of this and I agree that we are at a point of inflection or transition in the case away from FD towards MT over the past day and certainly today. Idk, maybe my last statement was too strong as perhaps instead the State worked today to bring MT and FD together via the digital data so they are seen together yet again and then they will fill in the MT timeline. Its been interesting story presented by the State as the couple is first seen on Albany Ave together, next seen at 80MS 'cleaning' and similar events but show the couple moving in tandem always as if both parties clearly know what the plan is and recognise their roles such that talk isn't necessary.

I always recall reading the AA and seeing virtually no mention of verbal communication between MT and FD at 80MS with the dance of the Tacoma keys but you knew from the description of what was going on that MT must have been very closely attuned to FD demands that she acted accordingly and she acted quickly in her distraction of PG. I also wonder if some of this could simply be MT way of dealing with a highly volatile FD and so she learned to pacify and read what he wanted her to do and did this just by watching him? JF spoke in one of her blogs long ago about I think adjusting behaviour to accommodate the moods or demands of a partner. It was subtle but it gave me the sense that JF worked hard to keep the peace in the household with FD because he was volatile and quick to anger.

The other issue that I don't think can be discounted is that MT seems to enjoy manipulating using the tool of sex in a somewhat obvious and quite base way imo (she's not subtle about what she is selling imo). I think she tried to do it in the LE Interviews at times and quite possibly with Atty Bowman in the LE Interview that took place at his office. I just see this behaviour in her body language or word choices etc. I do think its all based on manipulation and control or possibly just getting her way or getting someone to back down from doing something that is making her uncomfortable but from watching her in action I'm convinced her 'tool of choice' for manipulation is always 'sex'. MT so far as i can tell pushes boundaries always or doesn't recognise them to being with. She seems fascinated with high speed somewhat dangerous activities (skiing, water skiing, off road motor cycles etc.) and is a personal risk taker too and has no consistent work history really to document her ability to stick to anything she starts and then stays with it.

Wish we had a psychologist on the thread for their views as this topic is entirely above my pay grade for analysis but I think its quite important to understanding MT imo.

MOO

It’s all she’s got…

I do think that is why she mentioned having sex in semi-unconventional places to the police detectives who were grilling her. It was meant to distract them and refocus them onto something that was more agreeable to her.

 

[Cloudydiamond]

I wonder how embarrassed she really is? She’s pretty shameless, and her family members don’t seem to find anything wrong with the way she expresses herself. I recall posting on social media, that photo of her with her two middle fingers up and her tongue hanging out, and her mother basically said “that’s just a beautiful girl having fun doing sports with her friends”. It was hideous! My mother would have beaten the you-know-what out of me if she saw that!

Like mother like daughter perhaps

Yes, exactly this!

All just designed to attempt to derail the prosecution’s questioning of the witness

I think that sums it up.

Hyperfocus on insignificant minutia.

When this goes to the jury, the pile of defense exhibits will amount to a pile of Schoenhorn.

His exhibit today? No citation? Nothing to orient it to the full report? No way to know if he completely fabricated it.

And the video he couldn't produce the other day? Suggesting he was going to impeach PG with his lunch he never returned from? Now we learn that Cellebrite didn't produce a report for much of the middle of the day and it wasn't something the operator could manipulate. JS knew that. And tried to pull a fast one.

Today was nonsense. He even tried to suggest latitude and longitude were antiquated. Not hardly. Universal. Undisputed.

I trust that the State will make sure that JS's visual aid did come from the Cellebrite report. He's a slippery one.

~snipped~
Not sure about her research/strategic role and how much $ that would require.

Optics. Attempting to humanize a cruel defendant who destroyed every last vestige of girl code. ETA: Unfortunately, a story as old as time.
IMO

Felson isn’t helping when she is smirking and chuckling all the time.

 

[afitzy]

I don’t know….. But if one does, can you put it in a brown bag wrapped cover as Penthouse and Playboy used to do? Or wrap it in a ribbon with a spoiler alert? It might be TMI. MOO

Nah, I would 'at best' put it into the category of 'very soft *advertiser censored* adjacent'....and its highly airbrushed.... IDK, just think it was an interesting data point given all the recent chatter on the topic of MT and sex appeal and manipulation.....

 

[Megnut]

Felson isn’t helping when she is smirking and chuckling all the time.

Agreeing with the observation upthread. She's the defendant's handler. Babysitter. Make-sure-she-behaves-er. Probably told the defendant to mirror Atty Felson. Harmless, beige. But they come across as bffs during study hall.

Yep. High-rent subtle-snide.

Sorry, claim no expertise. Am very close to my beloved family law bro tho.

I'd like to put Defence Counsel in the middle of the South China Sea in a single masted sailboat and without a compass as he believes latitude and longitude are antiquated or better yet, the North Sea....colder and possibly more volatile and dangerous....or maybe Bay of Biscay with the whales that are attacking sailboats....or BERMUDA TRIANGLE and pray he never returns.

MOO (what a week).....

She also is a bit of a handler for JS. Stand up when the jury arrives. Face the jury when they arrive which he repeatedly seems to ignore.

Shameless is perfect word. The old social media pics she had up for years no doubt didn't endear her to the folks in Farmington or her daughters school. I don't think MT cared really at all as the people in Farmington were never her people. My sense is Miami was more her thing and she didn't feel like a fish out of water there as much as she might have in FL. I never got the sense that MT cared about anything else than FD and what he thought.

The "beige' makeover of MT is actually hilarious when you look at her history. Who knows if it will fool the jury?

MOO

 

[afitzy]

Watching a video message from Andreas

"A. You can spend the rest of your life with your wife or B!"

He seems like such a "PRINCE" of a guy....why does it not surprise me he is one of FD buds?

What a crew of xxxxbags....but they all came out today...we had Toot, and Mark Masiello and the Reiches and a few others that I didn't even recall....it was just a parade of human excrement....and we haven't even gotten to KM yet....so far yet to go....

MOO

 

[afitzy]

I also believe that the defendant is very proud of it.
MOO

Yes, I agree. She fought hard to have it returned to her and that is why I think it should be shown on the thread as I think its a good image of what MT believes herself to be....and it was important enough to the couple to place it over their bed too.

 

[Megnut]

I'm trying to predict the defense's presentation.

I'm thinking -- the defendant's 6th grade teacher. Someone with a horse. Someone who served her a latte in 2022.

Relevant to nothing but it'll fill time.

We haven't even gotten into the consolidation of the State's case, when it gets pulled together in narrative form!

Looking forward to next week but grateful for a four-day break!

I was curious about FD phone activity while MT was driving her daughter to school.
