Preface this with IANAL. (Although for full disclosure my mother always thought I should have been one. I don’t know the answer on that but it is too late now.)
The thing still puzzling me about this convicted felon and that sealed report is this. IIUC that report was a matter between FD his still missing but deceased wife JF and their families, children, and the experts or courts with jurisdiction or authority over it and it’s contents. It is IMO of no significance or relevance to the convicted defendant or any arguments made by her or on her behalf. The only relevance IMO is that she has been charged with contempt for actions she demonstrated with that report in court.
I fail to see what relevance it has to this felon or any intended appeal of the conviction. IMO she likely should not legally even have had a copy of it! And to try and argue its merit or relevance in court or otherwise publicly seems illogical and impractical and even possibly illegal IMO.
The defendant has been found to be a convicted felon by CT and the jury and court that heard the evidence presented against her. And that was for her actions in the conspiracy / murder of JF and evidence in that case. That case included many obscure arguments or references that defense counsel made to it on several occasions during the trial. And included their IMO illicit attempts to enter the sealed report or redacted excerpts of it on the record. IIRC possible introduction as an evidence exhibit was prevented by state’s attorneys Michelle Manning and Sean McGuinness and their actions in court and on the record.
It is also amazing and unfortunate if the state and courts of CT don’t take appropriate action against this convicted felon for their contempt with the sealed report in their own courtroom. IMO the courts ought to treat this document and its contents and improper display or use of it as importantly as this convicted felon wants everyone else to believe of its significance.
Again IANAL. And welcome any critique or clarification on it. Including from any legal scholars able to offer input to us. MOO
