Oh my goodness....
I was attempting to update my informal list of Pattis patter today and came across this 'gem' of an article that I hadn't seen earlier about an 'exclusive' interview with No Case Norm. I had a good chuckle about the idea of any interview with Pattis being "exclusive" as he talks to anyone and everyone all the time with no discrimination and he even seemed willing to tackle a reporter after the last court appearance to get in front of their microphone to speak too IMO.
I'm going through this ridiculous exercise of tracking Pattis patter simply because I have never seen so many baseless theories tossed out in a manner that I think most would agree is fairly irresponsbile and so deeply shaming to a missing and now presumed dead victim.
Exclusive: Lawyer Norm Pattis says client Fotis Dulos' estranged and missing wife has a 'troubled past'
This 'exclusive' from FOX61 runs the gamut of victim shaming from No Case Norm where he discusses such gems as JD coming from 'troubled past', 'deeply troubled' to 'I think she had serious health issues'. All these statements were made by No Case Norm BTW with zero information to substantiate the claim. None. Zip. Nada and said with a straight face with zero shame IMO too! Can't find supporting information on any of it anywhere.
Seems more than a bit irresponsible to me? But, it continues.
No Case Norm then spins the tale that:
"Still, Pattis alleges that in the days leading up to her disappearance, Jennifer may have been the one trying to create "a center of gravity in New York" to relocate the children, too, even identifying potential doctors and dentists for her kids".
"She was not settled happily in New Cannan, intending to live there happily ever after," Pattis said".
Again, no info to support any of these claims that JD was unhappy in NC and was picking up sticks and moving to NYC with zero mention made that this most likely wouldn't be permitted until the divorce case had been settled.
Is Pattis trying to argue that FD was spun into a tower of rage such that he murdered his wife because she was threatening to move to NYC? We don't know because Pattis presents zero proof.
Reading through all this I wonder how many cases No Case Norm is trying here?!? Could Pattis be hallucinating or tripping and thinking aloud about possible theories for some of his other cases and forgotten he was speaking with FOX61 about FD? Nope. All this effort is being made on behalf of FD.
There are 2 co-defendants in this case but so far as I know Pattis just has responsibility for FD. But honestly he has presented enough theories 'de jour' to defend an entire cell block IMO. No wonder States Atty Colangelo is pursuing the gag order IMO. At this point IMO Pattis is a danger to his client with his gunshot approach in speaking with the press and there aren't words to explain what I think of the victim shaming/blaming going on here on an ongoing basis too.
So far I've counted 10 of what I'm calling 'major claims' by Pattis and frankly I'm going to give up even tracking the minor 'side show' issues such as Pattis claim in court last week that "there are many things I could have said but I haven't said so far and one includes JD taking money from FD accounts before her departure". Really? Family Court said FD provided $0 to support his children and provide for their welfare and Pattis has better information that JD took money from FD? By all means cough up the statements so we can see verification that FD has anything as he has been pleading poverty for 2 years and evading orders for disclosure in both Family Court and Civil Court.
Did No Case Norm not read the Family Court case documents or perhaps even task the intern to wander over to the court and take a look see? Nope. Pattis never lets the facts of anything stand in the way of making a derogotory statement about JD, never.
What is so facinating about all of this Pattis patter is that zero of it directly relates to his client FD. None.
I am so curious to see how No Case Norm plans to connect the dots in all this patter to then explain to a simple minded person like myself how his client FD and co-defendant MT were seen via Hartford City CCTV on Albany Ave in a Black Ford F-150 Raptor, stopping 30 times along the route to drop off the contents of black contractor bags. Perhaps FOX61 can get the "exclusive" on this story?
But no. Pattis is now attempting to get the FD cellphone data/contents surpressed and thinks that this will wave a magic wand over the entire Albany trip to make it disappear. Pattis is now done for the time being with victim shaming and he is moving on to shaming/blaming NCPD/State Police and LE in general with the supression motion IMO. I can't believe LE actually speaks to Pattis but according to him they do. I don't get it.
We are nearly 2 months into this sad and tragic tale and FD has zero alibi/alternative theory as Pattis likes to call it for the Albany trip with MT. None. Zero. Zip. Nada. So much for the rush to August trial, now Pattis is asking for the extra days over the weekend in order to file his motions as seen in this past weeks hearing. IMO the gag order can't come soon enough so perhaps Pattis & Crew can do some work to actually defend their client.
MOO MOO MOO
