Deceased/Not Found - CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #40

1/28/20 Update: Emergency bond hearing. This bond hearing for Dulos has to do with questions over whether he has the collateral to back the 6 million dollar bond. FD tried to commit suicide of carbon monoxide poisoning. Emergency bond hearing on hold. Law enforcement sources are telling The Courant that Fotis Dulos has died at his Farmington home. FD will be airlifted to the Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx has a Hyperbaric Chamber. Dulos is reportedly being kept alive on life support. Stamford court officials say the emergency bond hearing for FD will happen 1/29/20 at 2pm without him. And a pretrial hearing on 2/28/20.
1/29/20 Update: The state has officially filed its motion to REVOKE bond for FD. State’s attorney asks that Dulos be re-arrested. Pattis says he will agree to that. Judge okays that. State’s attorney and the defense attorney of Dulos agree to remove motion over bond. Will revisit if/when he is medically able to return to CT. Colangelo says NY authorities are in place to protect Dulos in hospital. Pattis says Dulos is on “functional equivalent” of a psychiatric hold. Judge White orders re-arrest & raises bond $500K, making bond $6.5M. In the course of executing a search of Fotis Dulos’s car, law enforcement officials recovered a note in which Mr. Dulos declared his innocence of the infamous and heinous crimes that the state has accused him of and claimed his lawyers have the evidence to prove it.” Motion filed by Pattis office to preserve evidence from the search of his house. Mentions a note found proclaiming evidence.
1/30/20 Update: Dulos declared dead at 5:32pm; donated organs. Pattis has filed a motion asking the court to continue the criminal case. Here are some quotes from the 3 page motion. Mr. Dulos professed his innocence to the grave, and it was his final wish and the wish of his estate that he be speedily tried before a jury of his peers to establish his innocence. The public at large has convicted Mr. Dulos without due process. Mr. Dulos’ right to confront these charges band to assert his innocence does not die with him. The court should afford his estate an opportunity to clear his name. 1/30/20: Motion from Dulos defense team asking all evidence found during search of Dulos’ home be preserved. That includes a note in Dulos’ car proclaiming his innocence. 1/31/20: Dulos' attorney filed another motion to “Compel Discovery.” He says he doesn’t have all the evidence since Dulos’ initial arrest in June.
2/4/20 Update: The Dulos case will go before Judge Gary White in Stamford Friday morning, 2/7/20. It is likely the State will push for the case to be dismissed. Attorney Pattis will ask the court to consider his motion to continue to trial.
*Kent D. Mawhinney (54) – Pretrial hearing on 2/20/20.
 
What happened with the moving vans? I am way out of the loop now!

Why would Rena try to take items/furniture from the house when court ordered not to? Amazing! Trashy. Stash and dash to Greece. Secret moving company, they’ll never know! Sshhhhhh!!! My word!

Sorry, carry on...
Aw, come on, her brother had become a true
celebrity and maybe she just wanted to share
his possessions on Greek Ebay. :rolleyes:
 
Here's a mention I haven't heard before....My response is a cynical, "Right." For $350/Hr. La Tronica, who is primarily a defense attorney, will know how to handle probate. If he's as competent as NP proved today, that would be a very bad idea. Was the attorney filing the petition Habib?

"One of Dulos' attorneys filed a petition in Probate Court late last week for attorney Christopher La Tronica to take over the estate."

Police seen back at Farmington home of Fotis Dulos

Moo...IMO
IDK, if MT can switch out her former atty who had a great reputation in Ct. courts to one
who states on his website that one of his specialties is "Dog Bite Cases", doesn't seem a stretch that NP's underling is now a Probate specialist. :rolleyes:
There's one or two born every minute.
Come One, Come All.
Step this way folks, the side show's over here.
 
Does anyone have any ideas on how a practicing attorney can have a sealed criminal file with a disposition date of 11/30/20?

I am also baffled how an attorney can be allowed to practice in the State of CT if convicted of selling drugs to minors?

I have never followed a case before where we simultaneously follow the criminal and divorce cases of the attorneys on the case as well. Pattisville has truly taken us to the far beyond I guess here!

MOO
It's called "Fellow Atty.s (Judges) protecting
Attorneys."
It's a brotherhood in many places.

Michelle Troconis is back in court today. Her new attorney, Jon Schoenhorn, says she is NOT GUILTY and Fotis Dulos’ suicide note will be a key piece in their defense. In the note Dulos says Troconis and Kent Mawhinney had nothing to do with the disappearance Jennifer Dulos

Habib entered PTI so it's sealed and he'll most likely ask to have it expunged in Nov.

I've wondered if FD and KM had been in touch since KM was jailed.
I just found it 'odd' that FD knew to state a
"dying declaration" to try and absolve KM and MT of any wrongdoing. It's not something that
the average person would know about legalese.
Just sounds like something KM would advise him on. And we all know that FD usually only cared about himself and what was good for himself. Generosity did not just flow out of his thoughts. Anyone else see this as ODD?
 
I wonder what the detox period is for severe alcoholism?

I wonder if 30 days will do it? He just has to get it together for his Valentine's Day visit to Court in Hartford on his domestic cases and then back to Stamford on the 20th.

MOO

A few years ago my father fell while drunk. He did get a brain bleed but that was better after a week. The detox kept him in hospital for another 5 weeks and they still recommended to go to rehab for longer. Needless to say he was back into the hospital within 3 days for another 2 weeks due to still detoxing.

Yes, I find it a bit out of character for FD. But he is still trying to control the narrative. MOO.
 
Dang mt in court tomorrow and the grifters are supposed to leave hope they leave the copper pipes and wires and hopefully they don’t burn the place down with there smoking

Tbh the property would be worth more if it did burn down. GF would most likely get more from insurance than the house is worth. I dont see anyone willing to pay full value on that house. It would take a ton of sage and 100 shamans, 50 voodoo priestesses and 25 priests to get rid of the demons there.
 
I think a Makita saw could quickly answer all of our questions about this mattress in just a few minutes! It just needs to be sliced down the middle and opened up to see what is inside. If nothing is inside then it can be released to the Greek Family!

Just a thought....

MOO
If the matress was stuffed with other things they wouldnt even need to saw it open. It should he obvious that it had been tampered with already.

FD liked samurai movies. maybe that's where he got the idea from. In the movie Harakiri, samurais that couldn't commit seppuku always left notes absolving the ones that finished the job.
I just don’t see him reading the Federal Rules of Evidence and deciding to go for it.

estate that their parents left them. Not exactly sure what was his and what was hers but can guess the truthful source.

In NY, stuff brought into a marriage usually goes to the person who brought it in, stuff acquired during the marriage, usually goes 50/50 with the exception of items gifted to one or the other specifically, and then not always. (IL, STBX spouse probably will not get away with saying the down payment $$$ for the marital home was a gift to the X only.) Other exceptions are designed to make a plan that disrupts the children, if any, financially and in living plans as little as possible. Sometimes things are split up after the children grow. (House has 200k equity now. Dad gets 100k increased by 2% every year until Mom and the kids sell it to move, or little Mom Juniorelle turns 21.)

I don’t know about CT entirely, but I believe it is similar except that wealthy STBX spouses pay less child support by the CT guidelines. (The more wealth, the lower the %, for which I have no words but- holyinstitutionalsupportforDVbatman!)

At least the split math is easier in a murder/suicide. The kids get it all. Doesn’t matter who’s telling the truth. Of course, backing 2 moving vehicles up to the marital home and emptying it circumvents all declarations of ownership. It’s a notch lower than wasteful motions to family court.

I would love it if there is probable cause for law enforcement to investigate Dulos’ shipping activity. But even if my imagination for what could have happened is true (items shipped with cash hidden in them) the records wouldn’t help much. The item with its hidden compartment and some witness to the hidden cash would be needed. That’s a lot of LE work w/lowish odds of finding something to use.
 
Yes, I get your point. However, my point is, P should have checked the information in the application was valid before agreeing the bond (and entering into contractual obligations to the court), especially seeing it was for so much, and as you state was way over the limit of what they could grant anyway. IMO the contractual obligations P has with the court override the 'fraudulent' application made by the Defendant. It doesnt get P off the hook. IMO the court would take the view that P should have made certain that the collateral (or have other steps in place) to ensure that it could collect in the event of default. It should also have done this before collecting the 'premium' for arranging the bond.

All of the info we are getting now about FDs bond makes me wonder exactly what the "paperwork holdup" was that kept him in jail for an extra night following AW3. The fact that they were given an extra 24 hours to review the paperwork, why were these issues not noticed then?

Well, if the Dying Declaration was meant to exonerate anyone, it was very poorly executed. The DD is admissible in court but in and of itself, means nothing. If FD truly wanted to help his conspirators, he needed to admit killing JD and given details of the crime and how he pulled it off all by himself. That would help toward exoneration. FD did none of that. MOO.
