2/29/24 Friday Trial Day 32/Verdict Watch Day 3: Jury started deliberations at 10am. Note from jury (@ ~11am) reached a unanimous verdict on all 6 counts. Verdict: GUILTY of ALL charges:
Count 1: Conspiracy to commit murder, #2: Conspiracy to commit tampering-physical evidence. #3: Tampering with physical evidence. #4: Conspiracy to commit tampering-physical evidence. #5: Tampering with physical evidence. #6: 2nd degree Hindering prosecution.
State requests bond revoked or doubled. Significant flight risk. State wants strict conditions if the Judge doubles her bond rather than revoke it. $6M Cash Only/Surety bond. House arrest. GPS monitoring. Passports surrendered. Sentencing hearing on 5/31/24.
A scheduled contempt hearing has been moved to 3/21/24; Troconis allegedly had sealed documents displayed on her laptop in an open court during the trial. Judge Alex V. Hernandez will preside over the hearing. Judge Randolph & Troconis' attorneys, Felsen & Schoenhorn, have recused themselves from the hearing. The attorneys said it would be “inappropriate” for them to represent Troconis, who has hired attorney Robert Frost for the proceeding. State statute indicates that if a judge finds her in contempt, she could be fined up to $100, face up to six months in custody or both. Troconis was arrested on 3/1/24 for contempt charges. Case Number S01SCR24***.
Next contempt hearing on 3/21/24 @ 10am.
