I'd really like to see more myself.I have wondered about the ever present photographer in the courtroom.
Where do all his photos go?
We've seen a few but not many.
No comprende.Is it denial? Or does she just take a little more responsibility for the behavior of others than the average bear?
MOO
I think I'm with Atty McGuiness on so many of the issues that relate to FD and MT in terms of there being no 'conincidences' in this tragic case of murder.Bringing this timeline over from the KM thread here on Websleuths, post #6 by @afitzy dated 7/31/2019.
I think this timeline should be considered as to MTs whereabouts/involvement in these days leading up to the murder.
Was MT aware that FD met KMs wife at the Oyster Bar that night? Was MT aware of the plan the next day proposed, indeed begged, by FD to have KM and wife come to 4JC for “intimacy”?
Recall also that these events and dates below are more or less contiguous following the date Herman walked off the stand…FD (and presumably KM and MT) we’re very busy that week.
What would have happened, would things have been different, if KMs wife had accepted and she and KM had come to 4JC that week??
Excerpt from Post #6 in Kent Mawhinney thread, websleuths, post by @afitzy dated 7/31/2019:
Warrant: Man under order to avoid contact with estranged wife arrested after Fotis Dulos reaches out to her
May 19: FD meets with Mawhinney wife at Oyster bar
May 20: FD calls Mawhinney wife trying to get her to meet up
May 21: FD again calls Mawhinney wife to try to get her to meet
May 22: FD down in NC dinner with kids at JD's house (mentions DNA to visitation supervisor)
May 23: FD and MT dinner party at 4 JC (who were the guests? planned guests? Was Mawhinney present/invited? Was his wife planned for/invited??)
May 24 morning: JD disappears

After debt, no money left in Fotis Dulos estate for children, court documents show
Fotis Dulos’ estate will not have enough money to pay a long list of creditors,...www.ctinsider.com
Quotes from article:
Nearly two years after his death, the estate of Fotis Dulos has been declared insolvent, meaning most creditors, including his mother-in-law, will not get paid and there will be no money left for his five children, court documents show.
“He was a fellow who had lots of debts and no assets,” said attorney Richard Weinstein, who represented Gloria Farber in two lawsuits she won against her son-in-law. “I feel very badly we were unable to recover more for the family.”
Farber has been caring for the five children since her daughter vanished on May 24, 2019. Jennifer Dulos has never been found, but police said she is presumed dead based on evidence they found in the garage of her New Canaan home, according to arrest warrants.
Fotis Dulos died by suicide in January 2020, weeks after he was charged with his estranged wife’s murder. His ex-girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, and his former attorney, Kent Mawhinney, have each pleaded not guilty to charges in the case.

Okay …. The record scratch that followed this Horn comment nearly broke my eardrums. Horn has really turned himself into a large Bavarian pretzel to avoid acknowledging out loud, with proper legal words, the reality of what is happening to the inmate.Troconis remains at York Correctional Institution in Niantic in lieu of a $6 million bond. Schoenhorn said he’s visited and spoken with her.
“She’s not been sentenced so she’s still a pre-trial detainee,” Schoenhorn said. “So, they go through some kind of orientation process. They evaluate them. They check to make sure health issues, and I guess that includes a mental health evaluation.”

MT's sister says that MT told her family (upon meeting FD) that "he was very family-oriented like us." Did she leave out the part that this "family oriented" guy had five children and a wife?
And they all lived happily ever after….Lololol
How great would it be if we get to see Michi in her orange prison garb, sportin’ hand cuffs and leg irons in May? I’m sure she’ll be showing her “grays” by then too.Prison Phone Policies in CT:
View attachment 489973
"Connecticut recently became the first state to make all phone calls for people serving time in state prisons and youth detention facilities free, and early results show the change is allowing for much more communication with the outside world".
"DOC officials declined an interview request. In a statement the agency said while the number and duration of calls allowed for people in prison — up to six times a day for a total of 90 minutes — hasn’t changed, “this frequency was often a financial impossibility.”
“Since July, we have seen the number of phone calls and e-messaging significantly increase. Providing this service, at no charge to families offers a fair and equitable avenue for keeping incarcerated individuals engaged with their community,” Ashley McCarthy, a spokesperson for the DOC said in an email. “We hope this increased accessibility allows returning citizens to feel more connected to their home life and provide a smoother transition back.”

If anyone knows how the phone taping of prisoners was resolved and can post back that would be appreciated.

@lucegirl, I’m almost afraid to ask but is this HORN SAlAD due to his pending motions or is it simply salad for the sake of salad? Sorry to ask but I was reading some of his pretrial motions today and am simply ODd on his language choices.Okay …. The record scratch that followed this Horn comment nearly broke my eardrums. Horn has really turned himself into a large Bavarian pretzel to avoid acknowledging out loud, with proper legal words, the reality of what is happening to the inmate.
First of all - “not been sentenced”. Hmmmmm - is this an ambiguous place to be - like you are totally in the dark about what is coming? Bobbing around in ignorant bliss? Like maybe she won’t be sentenced? Just in orientation? Orientation doesn’t sound too scary. Free time in the yard? Meeting roommates and deciding on dorm decor (beige)?
When one has “not been sentenced” a very bright constitutional line is crossed. There is no way to Horn it. In this case, the person “in need of a sentence” is a convicted felon - guilty for conspiracy to commit murder. Her unsentenced status has zero to do with her unambiguous status as a convicted felon.
This is not pre-trial scenario. It is most definitely post conviction. She is most certainly NOT “ A pre-trial detainee.” That isn’t spin; it is purposefully untrue (is this the same same thing as a lie?). Cringe. Nope. This is another variation on Horn’s attempt to suggest she was entitled to bail post conviction.
Many a defense lawyer have been schooled by the Connecticut Courts with regards to foolish arguments (from the Unguided Missile Playbook for Defense Attorneys discussed in the last thread) that try to paint an unsentenced felon as inextricably not quite all the way guilty. Cringe. Nope. Full strength felon guiltiness attached at verdict.
The reason why this is a very bright legal line is because of the constitutional presumption of innocence. The CT has a vivid way to describe the post conviction status of a criminal. For any constitutional purpose the post conviction criminals are said to be disassociated from the pre-trial defendant. The presumption of innocence is gone.
“It must not be over looked here that we are concerned here with preconviction bail. We are not at all concerned with post conviction bail and a stay of execution of sentencing pending the appeal. Such bail is entirely disassociated with the pre-conviction presumption of innocence…
That distinction between pre-and post sentencing is really only made when it matters whether the Court or the penal system has jurisdiction/custody over the defendant/felon.
The reality is, and he knows full well, the “orientation” and/or “some kind of evaluation” are just inputs the into pre-sentencing report that all criminals facing sentencing must under go as part of the background the judge will consider when handing down the sentence.
Funny you asked…but not surprising … I was going to post in a bit about the pre-sentencing period during which Defense will file countless motions from all directions. There are some lawyers and law firms whose specialty is the post conviction periods up until sentencings. I am not suggesting that there are no post conviction - pre-sentencing issues ever, but the ones that are premised on the false notion that the a criminal’s status is either pre-trial or some other version of not-really-guilty-yet until sentencing are going to fail and could be sanctionable.@lucegirl, I’m almost afraid to ask but is this HORN SAlAD due to his pending motions or is it simply salad for the sake of salad? Sorry to ask but I was reading some of his pretrial motions today and am simply ODd on his language choices.
I did enjoy comparing the motion prepared by AG Tong to that of Horn for the Ct Supreme Court argument. Day and night imo. Give me crisp and clear language vs Greek salad frivolous any day!
Moo
Was there more to this? Was she a prisoner?
@lucegirl, Yes, I’ve fallen into a black hole on that topic. Quite interesting and some good English articles I found today that I will post when I get better Wi-Fi. Given up translating Greek as Google translate in isn’t very helpful. Little in greece is online either which is unfortunate. Trying to figure out what litigation FD might have had in Greece with the govt that took a long time to resolve. Could just be another FD lie or grift to JD in order to spend time in Greece with the bros and hook up with some female whose name is Stavros. Not sure. Many shady characters too per FD usual MO. Current thoughts are real estate or citizenship but need Greek language assistance that I might have secured today. He supposedly did get children Greek passports but perhaps that was a lie too. Idk. Stay tuned. I do wonder with all his legal battles whether FD is Roy Cohn reincarnated? FD rarely seemed to pick the straight line from a to b too which makes this all a bit annoyingly complicated. No wonder he never worked, he simply didn’t have the time!Also @afitzy - need to put a bookmark in your discussion of the Ottoman Empire in the prior thread, briefly, while I jump to the defense motions. LOL!
@lucegirl, I learned today that Greeks it seem like to argue almost as much as Italians but they have much in common too imo that nobody is ever wrong! So, good amt of litigation on all kinds of day to day things so perhaps that is what FD might have been arguing with the govt about? Idk. They also have a bureaucracy that makes Italy look like a well oiled and highly efficient machine based on what I’ve seen so far. It’s a bit of a throwback to another time too on so many levels with little in the way of digital records. Not sure how much gets done but in that respect it’s not much different from Italy. The Swiss I’m traveling with were highly amused by my efforts today to get information via phone. Told me best thing to do is fly over Greece and head to an Island! Tomorrow is another day but sadly not on an island. MooAlso @afitzy - need to put a bookmark in your discussion of the Ottoman Empire in the prior thread, briefly, while I jump to the defense motions. LOL!
@Gardenista usually has the magic touch on motions as for some reason they aren’t logged online that I’ve ever found. Perhaps if horn isn’t being paid then he will stick with the 2 motions he has already filed? MooI know you guys keep the docket updated and refreshed. Has Horn filed more motions other than for New Trial and Acquital?
