“We’re working with children as young as five years old, talking about healthy friendships; we’re talking about boundaries and consent,” Garcia said.
Participants say that including children in these kinds of events and conversations is important.
“Just seeing the younger people that are here and the kids that are here just learning about it from an early age can really make a difference,” Dicesare said.
Proceeds from the walk will go towards the interval house intervention services for victims of domestic violence.

Walking in Connecticut to honor domestic violence victims

Yes, but I blame Blawie and Randolph as Judges for NOT making sure Schoenhorn and Felson followed the original instructions/limitations of Blawie. Schoenhorn spent years alluding to the report indirectly to the Press and directly in motions. IMO if the report was not to be admitted to evidence in the trial then it could not be discussed by any of the participants at trial. Judge Randloph didn't do this and created this almost 1/2 in and 1/2 out situation for a document that was legally sealed and thus inaccessible to the trial evidence and jurors.

I don't know why Judge Randolph didn't shut down the Horn speech on the report in a hearing on the issue as if this had been done more directly imo then the ongoing discussion of the report even at trial would never imo have happened. As it was, the jury heard endlessly about a report they could never view and I am angry that the Judge put them in this position. The report was allowed to exist but not be introduced into evidence which imo is ok but then if it cant be in evidence then it cant be discussed in front of the jury! Instead the jury had to listen to Felson Mini Horn grill two 'witnesses' in the form of the corrupt imo attorneys, GAL Meehan and Michael Rose dance around the issues of the report until Judge Randolph accused Mini Horn of 'crossing a double yellow line'. Frankly she was wrong but the Judge was in error to even give her the opportunity to do what she did with this entire line of testimony at trial. IMO it had to have been very confusing to the Jury and also might have created 1 or more juror holdouts which I also think is very misleading relative to the totality of the evidence. Judge Randolph imo was wrong on this and he had to have seen the error of his ways as the trial went on. I know the testimony from Meehan and Rose was discussed extensively amongst the parties in chambers but imo it was problematic on many levels and Judge Randolph had to have known that but he did what he did with the topic and trusted Felson/Mini Horn to follow the rules that he had established but she didn't. Why he didn't sanction her is another mystery for another lifetime!

MOO

Seems he went easy on everybody, except Jennifer, her family and friends. IMO

What about violation of HIPAA federal law re privacy of medical records? Are the judges or the State's Atty's Office obligated to report it to federal authorities? Here's a news report this a.m. re folks in VA office improperly accessing health records of VP candidates Vance and Walz.

VA staff got into Vance, Walz medical files, sparking investigation (msn.com)

“…Looking at another person’s health information without authorization is a violation of the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Unauthorized access or disclosure beyond what is permitted are the most common types of HIPAA violations, which carry criminal penalties of up to $50,000 and up to a year of imprisonment.

Security breaches in health records occur frequently as the health-care industry is exposed to increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. But criminal prosecutions in individual cases are rare.”

I think that HIPAA laws only come into play when someone who is within the medical industry, and in the practice that treats the patient, releases the private information to an unauthorized person. But in Jennifer’s case, that didn’t happen. It came from a piece or pieces of mail that were either stolen or opened. So, for example, if Fotis opened mail addressed to Jennifer, that’s an issue with the US postal service. And if a piece of mail was stolen from inside her house, it’s a police issue. But not a HIPAA issue.

The activity on 11/13/24 at 2PM is designated as "Pre-Trial" so I guess we wait for the plea agreement announcement that MT gets her hand slapped and she's deprived of granola for Thanksgiving...

Also, since WS's last system update, I've had issues posting from both State and Federal Official Court sites which has been explained that the official sites include [/td] or HMTL as seen in OP's post and WS uses BBCode for security reasons.

@Seattle1
After reviewing the post in question, I notice now that it is using BB Code and not HTML. I apologize for missing that originally.

I will do some research on this.

Ax murder suspect offered 45 years in death of Milford mom Julie Minogue

On the night of Dec. 6, 2022, Milford police said Ewen Dewitt stormed Minogue's condo at Salem Walk and attacked her with an ax while her two youngest boys, ages 3 and 17, were home.

I wonder whether the State is investigating whether there were one or more violations of the state's Computer Crime Statutes, by MT or anyone else who might have been involved in getting that report on her computer. See:
Connecticut General Statutes Title 53A. Penal Code § 53a-251. Computer crime

...(e) Misuse of computer system information.  A person is guilty of the computer crime of misuse of computer system information when:  (1) As a result of his accessing or causing to be accessed a computer system, he intentionally makes or causes to be made an unauthorized display, use, disclosure or copy, in any form, of data residing in, communicated by or produced by a computer system;...

I think the State is done spending $$ on any investigation of MT.

IMO, I'd say better chance that MT previously scanned the Herman Report copy Fd initally obtained illegally. A copy was was located in the house during the warrant search by MSP. I think MT sent a copy to her entire family in celebration of how she'd hit paydirt with Fotis and they were going to live happily ever after with all the children and MT becoming the "imposter" of JFd.

And if MT didn't scan it, I think Mamma T may have been responsible because she was visiting CT-- a guest at the house when they learned the search was going to happen and they needed to relocate to a hotel. Just like the felons had multiple copies of the alibi scripts, I'd not be surprised if they made multiple copies of the Herman Report for all of their friends! MOO

I sure hope so. There are so many more layers to this whole case that haven’t been explored, in my opinion. Still-if MT & Co thought they were investigating this, wouldn’t it be better for MT to just plead guilty to contempt of court and move on? Who knows what else they’d find?

This sounds like it…

 

[pernickety]

This sounds like it…

But if MT had it all that time, why would she choose to display it when she did? I can't help thinking that conversation she had with Felsen shortly before that had something to do with it. Whatever it was about, it seemed to animate and delight MT. See video below at about 2:22-- I wish someone could read MT's lips for what she's saying to Felsen (but wd it be atty/client privilege?)
Warrant: Video confirms sealed custody report was on Michelle Troconis’ laptop at trial

Also the News 12 written report at link above says this at the end: “…The report, and who has it, has been an issue for years. State police said they found a copy of it in 2019 during a search of Fotis Dulos' home, which Troconis shared with him at the time. Schoenhorn referenced prior media coverage about whether Fotis Dulos’ defense attorney, Norm Pattis, had possession of it…”

So why didn't they show JS saying that about Pattis--rather than just writing that he did say it--and not even giving a direct quote. I remember, a day after it happened, seeing video of JS saying, "She didn't get it from me. I know Norm Pattis had a copy of it." Now I can't find JS video referring to Pattis. My very first thought after it happened was that NP sent her the report as she was sitting there in court, and that maybe AF was telling MT that he was about to do it, and that's why MT appeared to be so happy and excited. My speculation is that NP was so ticked off with Gloria or her lawyer or FD's estate administrator for clawing back that chunk out of the last retainer NP got from Fotis and giving it to the Farber estate to satisfy the judgment in the civil case. Just my opinion though. In my opinion, too, some folks in the State of CT--maybe in both the Judicial Branch and the State's Atty's office--are deliberately not investigating when and how that report got on MT's computer.

 

[Megnut]

I don't think MT had a hard copy. Wanted one. Badly.

I think she was intimately aware of the contents however and likely had seen and memorized it. In English.

I almost wonder if she was sharing it, enlarged, to her pet journalist in order to authenticate her story.

And Mama T's tap on the shoulder tells me she was well aware MT wasn't supposed to have that screen and certainly wasn't supposed to be angling it for exposure.

It was an egregious, deliberate breach and I wish it were weighted accordingly, like by raising her sentence to the full 20 years, not one day less.

Contempt of Court -- not one, but two -- and directly tied to the trial at hand. How is that not worse than Contempt?
Attempting to perverting the course of justice.

Book, thrown not hand, slapped.

At the offending attorneys too.

Do you think Norm Pattis would send that to her, when it could be easily traced? I don’t know if he would. I have always thought she had at least seen the report long before Judge Blawie gave it to Schoenhorn-and judging from some social media posts by MT’s mother and sister Claudia, they’ve seen it, too. I really believe that there’s always been a copy floating around-and Schoenhorn had to have the judge give him a copy. I don’t know how he expected to get it out into the public, but I do think that was always the goal.

I can't speculate whether NP would do it, but evidently, from News12 report I posted above, Horn "referenced" Pattis's having a copy of it to them re MT's flashing the report on her computer. But consider this: If FD showed MT the report to read, and then MT asked for a copy of it, FD had only to run it off on his copy machine. He wouldn't have to risk sending it to her by email. And if she had a copy of it, why would she then digitize it and put it on her computer--other than during trial, when she may have done so with the intention of enlarging it and flashing it to some journalist. To my mind, if she did that she would've flashed it earlier on that day (and would've had a "cat that swallowed the canary" look on her face before she had that grin-producing conversation with AF). So I can't help thinking that someone sent her a copy of that report while she was sitting there at her trial. That would be pretty sensational. Is that the reason the authorities don't want to investigate how and when the report got on MT's laptop? MOO
