The five children of Jennifer Dulos may speak Friday when Michelle Troconis is sentenced in the death and disappearance of their mother.

The children, now ages 13 to 17, submitted statements for the sentencing through a family spokesperson, according to attorney Jon Schoenhorn, who represents Troconis. He said they will be allowed to speak if they wish during the proceedings in state Superior Court in Stamford…

Schoenhorn said about a dozen people will speak in-person or by video on Troconis' behalf and more than 65 letters, including some from around the world, have been submitted to the court supporting his client. The people speaking are mostly family and close friends.

I'm embarrassed for her family and close friends already.

Hahahaha, as if he has any say.

If I read and IIUC that article, just have to observe that it was so ‘kind’ of defense counsel JS to speak about JF family and children in this matter. IMO actually it was unkind and unnecessary. IMO counsel should have instead stuck to the ‘flowery’ words for his convicted client and her cadre of friends and family. MOO

Ps. I hope someone can share a link tomorrow morning for us to watch the proceedings in Judge Randolph’s CT courtroom.

It is so important for Jennifer's children to be heard. They are the ultimate victims in this case.
 
Sentencing is about levying punishment for the horrific crime MT participated in-- not an opportunity for JLS to pontificate how everybody including the Judge and Jury have wronged MT!

Reportedly, JLS will may argue for her bail release pending appeal at sentencing. And JLS also filed a motion to have BOTH conspiracy to commit tampering with physical evidence charges vacated. What?

Perhaps JLS's research about two locations (Hartford and Avon) made for only one conspiracy to tamper with evidence charge did not pencil out-- so JLS is going for broke, arguing both charges should be erased as one more civil rights violation suffered by MT! :mad:

As to anybody speaking on behalf of the defendant at sentencing, I think if MT can't acknowledge her participation and show an inch of remorse, the Court should reject any motion for them to speak. Enough already of the MT's making a mockery of the U.S. Justice system! MOO

Since her conviction, Troconis has been held on $6 million bond. Schoenhorn has said Troconis will appeal the convictions after sentencing. Schoenhorn said Wednesday he will also seek her release while the appeal is pending.

[..]

Schoenhorn filed a motion on May 20 seeking to have the two conspiracy to commit tampering with physical evidence charges vacated, contending the acts were already covered under the tampering with physical evidence charges. In the motion, Schoenhorn said moving forward with the two charges would constitute "double jeopardy" and violates his client's right to due process.


Vacate two conspiracy to commit tampering with physical evidence charges...

@Seattle1, I'm confused procedurally how the Schoenhorn motions to vacate will be handled? Will Judge Randolph have to rule on them prior to sentencing? And, would he let these pending motions impact his eventual sentence? Judge Randolph has worked overtime imo to preserve an impeccable record for appeal and I do wonder if how these motions to vacate on 'constitutional grounds' might muddy the waters?

I'm still very confused on the issue of charging methodology when multiple identically charged acts (here is tampering and hindering) are handled when they occur in multiple locations on different days? What would happen if a group of conspirators committed a crime and then spent weeks and weeks covering it up over a wide area? Just seems like each act undertaken by a conspirator is separate and distinct and ought to be charged accordingly. It just seems like Schoenhorn is trying to merge all of the MT 'tampering and hindering' activities into a single act rather than what it was which was a series of acts and where she no doubt wasn't charged with all of the acts either.

As a layperson imo this is quite difficult to understand as it seems like the State very particularly set forth the charges and tied them to specific acts with individual dates and times. I'm trying to understand why this could/might/maybe be problematic? But, its quite concerning that all of this motion activity is happening at this late stage as I would have thought it would have been argued when the charges were first lodged such that the Appellate Court and/or Supreme Court in CT could have resolved the matter. Is this just a gambit by Schoenhorn to argue for MT release pending appeal? Very disturbing that this is happening now OR is this a legal 'nothing burger'?

MOO (Dazed and Confused here)
 
Gawd. Do you think MT child will speak? I really just don’t want JF kids to experience that.( Esp if it’s via satellite from a ski lodge in Argentina….)
100% certain that MT’s daughter will speak. The Troconises constantly try to do what the Farbers do, as if to equate MT and Jennifer as victims of this situation. They really think that putting a convicted conspiritor in a murder case in prison, is the same loss to NB, as Jennifer’s murder is to her 5 children.

IMO, JLS received a bit of encouragement (i.e., a colorable claim to dismiss one of the two counts, per Randolph) and JLS couldn't leave it alone!

I think JLS believes the Court will uphold all of MT's charges on 5/31, and filed this last minute Motion, seeking to vacate both convicted charges, pursuant to MT's civil rights (double jeopardy/due process) just for a billable event, and more of JLS typical grandstanding. :rolleyes:

Let's call it what it is: JLS wasting the Court's time, and his last hurrah.

To be clear, nowhere did Judge Randolph promise to consider vacating both charges counts!

MSM from the prior thread:


4/10/24

But Randolph said Wednesday, he will consider vacating one of the two counts of conspiracy to commit evidence tampering after the defense argued the second violated double jeopardy laws, which prohibit anyone from being prosecuted twice for the same crime.

The counts pertain to two separate events on different days in different towns—the disposal of evidence in Hartford on May 24 and the cleaning and detailing of a red pickup truck in Avon on May 29.

But Attorney Jon Schoenhorn said the prosecution alleged the goal of both events was to destroy evidence of Jennifer Dulos’ presumed murder.

Schoenhorn argued state late doesn’t allow multiple charges for a single conspiracy. Randolph called that “a colorable claim,” which he will consider.

The judge said he will issue a ruling on whether he will vacate one of those conspiracy charges at the start of Troconis’ sentencing hearing on May 31.


Disposal of evidence equals 1 or 2 charges?

“Troconis’ attorney, Jon Schoenhorn, told Channel 3 on Thursday that both sides have up to 2 hours to talk ahead of the sentencing.

He said Troconis will have between 12 and 20 people speak on her behalf. People have flown in from around the country and from other countries to support her. He also said people wrote and submitted 65 letters to the judge in support of Troconis.”

“Carrie Luft, a friend of Jennifer Farber Dulos, told Channel 3 that family and friends prepared statements for the court as requested and would likely comment after the sentencing.”

“The judge will take a break after the comments and later come down with the sentencing.

The sentence itself was expected to be announced later Friday afternoon.”

Are the JF supporters allowed to leave the room so they can avoid experiencing the overzealous melodramatic (lying) T family laying a TWO-hour-long steaming pile of BS??

Is 2 hours enough for JS?

Only the Court is granted discretion, and it does not extend to the Defense Counsel!

Again, JLS continues to flaunt the convicted defendant as worthy of taking over the sentencing hearing when the only statutory right to speak is granted to the defendant, and not her entourage!

I trust Judge Randolph is reading the headlines today and will put an end to JLS's dog and pony show at the beginning of hearing, and remind JLS that only the Victim (and any other person directly harmed by the commission of the crime a reasonable opportunity to make, orally or in writing, a statement with regard to the sentence to be imposed). are entitled to speak at sentencing.

JLS had plenty of time -- 3 months-- to contest and/or correct any misinformation in the PSI, and marching in MT's supporters is not a substitution for the procedures documented in Chapter 43.

Thank you for explaining this process and procedure as what Schoenhorn was describing in the news with folks flying in from all over to speak sounded like a circus. Not unsurprising given the past behaviour of the Troconis family but disturbing for the victims all the same.

I do wonder though if Judge Randolph will cave and allow the circus as Schoenhorn has announced that people are coming? Seems most likely that Schoenhorn knew the rules (ditto for Troconis family) but perhaps instead chose a 'back door' game of simply announcing to the Court that all 22+ of our people "ARE HERE AND DEMAND TO SPEAK". If this is what Schoenhorn did it honestly seems wrong but so in keeping with him as a substandard professional and the also in keeping with the absolute disrespect that MT and her entire family showed to Judge Randolph and the CT Judiciary over the past 5 years.

But, if Judge Randolph doesn't allow the Troconis family etc. to speak then I can imagine that Schoenhorn will simply move the Circus of people outside to the Courthouse steps. Given that this might be a possibility then I am now starting a prayer chain for severe weather and torrential rain for Stamford. The weather has been quite tempermental recently so perhaps it will cooperate and bring a downpour at an opportune time!

Simply outrageous.

Shameful.

And a million other words that are not allowed.....
