CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, deceased/not found, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #65

[I am not Sherlock H.]

Honestly, if Chauncy Gardiner showed up and sat in the witness chair and testified, "As long as the roots are not severed, all is well and all will be well in the garden," it'd be little different in terms of relevance.

Yes, but was he talking about THIS or talking about THAT?

Being There! The late Peter Sellers, yes? Wonderful movie IMO. Thank you for refreshing my memory!

 

[Megnut]

Attorney McGuinness, notably calmer,asking about her research with soldiers

Soldiers being trained for capture as POWs. Aggressive interrogation techniques so they are prepared, know what to expect.

Soldiers could even be slapped in the face, punched in the stomach, thrown against a wall...

No evidence of that in this case, right?

More aggressive than a police interrogation --

Positive correlation between intelligence and memory--

Would it have been helpful to know the defendant's education level --

More information is better.

Doesn't recall if she knew the defendant's business record --

L&C:
"When does Michi’s memory come into play? Asking for a friend!"
"She knew nothing about Michi. She just watched a bit of the interrogation videos and read some transcripts. How do you have an expert opinion on someone, I'd you haven't spent any time with them????"
"Still two ponchos and two pairs of gloves found"
"Most of what she says about memory seems to be common knowledge - not necessarily "expert knowledge or opinion."
"Horn is already thinking of how to cut her bill in half..."
"The memory expert has a memory worse than mine"
MOO

I honestly didn't think the state would have this long of a cross on Loftus but I'm glad to see where the State is going with this. Very clever.

 

[Megnut]

Is it true that sometimes people who are arrested lie, change stories to conceal conduct, conform their stories to what police know

That can happen.

Asks what MT had said about her whereabouts that morning--

She was with him.

She said they showered together? Yes.

Which detective suggested that to her?

Objection, overruled

Did any detective suggest to her she'd been with FD in the house, in the shower, in the office with KM?

 

[SkylarSid]

Funny, she indicates it’s above her pay grade to opine on how memory is formed, but knows but knows exactly what alters it.

You practically learn how memories form in Psych 101!

McGuinness did his homework with this witness

[Megnut]

Asks about returning a purse, buying parsley at a store....

Witness doesn't recall that --

Assume the facts -- would've that been evidence that her memory was accurate?

Under stress, recalled that.

 

[afitzy]

Dr has NO info about MT education .... no idea about HS and no idea about College.....
Dr has NO idea about MT work history

Moo

Do you know if the Defendant has an employment history Doctor?

No answer from Dr Loftus.....

Moo

 

[Eli9]

ooooh Nice. essential detail vs peripheral detail

[Megnut]

Atty McGuinness asks there were media reports on the whereabouts of the MT, that MT could have read about?

[So where would she have gotten a false memory of the shower, the office.]

 

[BUF]

Loftus’ faulty memory enters again…

 

[afitzy]

Dr has NO info about MT education .... no idea about HS and no idea about College.....

Do you know if the Defendant has an employment history Doctor?

No answer from Dr Loftus.....

[Eli9]

Loftus is already declaring that MT suffered post event trauma from being interviewed by LE

 

[Megnut]

Witness, aware that the two worked together on the timeline

If she write it before arrest, she couldn't have felt intimidated by the police, she couldn't have been post stress --

Being emotional doesn't mean being truthful?

Did you consider that possibility that she was lying?

Witness says it's not her theory but it's a possibility.
