With you on testing the system.
I keep going through the timeline of yesterday and so far as I can tell the only people apparently NOT looking for Fd at Noon in Stamford were Atty Colangelo and CSP. Why?
I know if I were Judge White I would be incendiary and ditto for Atty Colangelo. Yet, it wasn't the tracking people that apparently alerted on Fd not being where he was supposed to be yesterday IMO based on the reporting we saw yesterday. Why?
Maybe we don't have the full story but I do hope Judge White investigates what is going on the with monitoring as I'm not convinced that Judge Blawie and Atty Colangelo resolved the monitoring situation following the previous Fd 'detour' into Westchester County.
Yesterday we saw the bail person most likely make the call to Farmington PD for the wellness check at 11:54am and then we have Atty Smith in Stamford getting concerned that his client was nowhere to be seen at 12:15pm. Atty Smith was baffled to not see his client in Stamford IMO.
Monitoring folks had to have approved the departure from 4Jx to Stamford and so with real time tracking would have be alerted that Fd had left 4Jx. Fd NEVER left 4Jx yesterday (except by ambulance) and so I wonder where the monitoring people were and why CSP weren't on top of the Fd movements yesterday. Clearly the results of not being on top of the bracelet situation IMO speak for themselves and have been played out now for nearly 24 hrs. with continual media coverage.
The travel time from Farmington was known and the location of Fd and time he was due in Stamford IMO was also known. Yet why did it appear that nobody knew that Fd didn't depart 4Jx in time to make it to Stamford yesterday? Real time tracking capabilities exist with the bracelet and that was how it was able to be determined that Fd had never left 4Jx. But what is the point of having the technology with the bracelet if its not being utilised properly to track a person accused of murder who has a vested interest IMO of flight?
What I wonder also is if nobody on the monitoring side was watching Fd yesterday to make sure he left 4Jx as scheduled, who is to say that at somewhere between 10 (possibly when the person staying with him left 4Jx) and 10:30 am (when he got phone call from the Hartford bail person) instead of trying to commit suicide he simply got in his car and went to the local airfield and got in a plane and simply headed north or for parts unknown. Fd yesterday IMO could have escaped and had at least a 1.5-2 hr jump on LE and it appears that CSP and Atty Colangelo would never have known.
Yesterday was interesting because there was a fixed time where many people were looking for Fd (he was supposed to be in Court for his hearing at noon). Whats also interesting is that Fd had to get approval to leave 4Jx and drive to Stamford and be there for a period of time (assume 1.5 hrs on the road). This put Fd on the roads in CT and if he had gotten in his car yesterday and based on what it seems like might be going on with the monitoring, I'm not at all sure he couldn't have also driven in a totally different direction for a good long time before someone figured out what was going on and attempted to find him?
I find this quite disturbing and I have to say that I don't have much confidence in what we are seeing regarding the bracelet monitoring! The tech on the bracelets is quite clear and we have discussed them endlessly here on WS. But if nobody is watching then what is the point of the bracelets?
I hope Judge White or someone in Hartford or Stamford tracking this case investigates what happened yesterday and how so much time was allowed to Fd without apparent supervision and not following his prearranged travel plan without seeing CSP showing up at 4JX. IMO CSP should have been at 4jx if there was no alert that Fd had left 4Jx by 10:30am. Instead, we saw Farmington PD scrambling to enter 4Jx shortly after 12:00pm.
Not sure what is going on but little about this timeline and tracking makes much sense to me. The Judge released Fd with very serious charges and took it for granted that he was being monitored. Now, it appears that this might not have happened in the way that the Judge expected.
Hartford I think we just might have a problem here!!!!!!!
MOO
I am not sure that the Monitoring company even knew there was a court appearance.
The Bond Company called States Attorney Colangelo about 8:45 am on Tuesday and requested an Emergency Hearing.
Then SA Colangelo contacted Pattisville about 9:00 am, just 15 minutes later.
Then Pattisville contacted Fd minutes later and explained the issues so that Fd could work toward a different source for his bond. We learned that Fd had at least 2 phone conversations with a new Bail Bonds company that last spoke with Fd about 10:30 am.
Once ALL the Parties have been Notified and Agreed to a Time, Then the Emergency Hearing Court Appearance was scheduled for just a few short hours later at 12:00 Noon on Tuesday.
The Court could Not schedule the Emergency Hearing Until AFTER Everyone had been Informed.
With the very Short Notice of just 3 hours, they had to make sure all the parties could accommodate the schedule.
What if All of Pattisville were in other courts or out of the country or in DC like NP? They cannot have a Court Hearing if the Defendant's Council is Not Available for a very short notice hearing.
IMO, With all the last minute conversations, Someone FORGOT to Call the Monitoring Company to let them know that Fd would be heading to Stamford for a Last Minute 12:00 Noon Emergency Court Hearing.
I do Not think that person was Fd. Fd is criminally accused and on House Arrest. I don't think the Monitoring Company would take Fd's word that he 'all of a sudden' had an unplanned Court Hearing. They would have wanted to hear from the Court or even Pattisville before Approving Fd to leave 4JC.
This would Explain Why the Monitoring Company did not realize there was an issue. For all they knew, Fd was exactly where he was supposed to be.
IMO.
