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

[Tink56]

I vaguely recall that the manufacturer was a "Sentinel" GPS electronic monitoring device worn by both FD and Mt. Thoughts?

MT's device is a Sentinel if an early Middletown Press article is accurate.
Sentinel has a variety of "models" they produce for LE. Without knowing MT's specific model, it is difficult to know the features.

MT definitely needs to abide by the terms of her bail release. She has violated those terms on at least two occasions.

She has not been forthcoming with LE about FD's movements prior to JFD's disappearance. She has not accounted for her "job" with FORE Group prior to JFD's disappearance or after. She has not answered questions about whether or not she visited NY to check of HF's will and JFD's trust. She has not provided viable descriptions of FD's activities from May 24th until his initial arrest.

She has not described what was deleted from her and FORE group's computers and devices.

She provided false information to LE after her initial arrest. She did not respond to LE's attempts to contact her prior to her initial arrest. Basically, she was fully involved in the cover up of criminal activity and probably indulged FD in planning the disappearance. There's a lot she needs to candidly discuss with LE.

And, from a non-legal stand point, she started the whole ball rolling with her decision to relocate herself and her child into the home still occupied by a man's wife and children. SMH....IMO...MOO

Does anyone have a copy of the AC's order?

Checked the AC website and can't find the order. The last order there is the August 7th order denying the petition for appellate review.

Maybe they talked with the State's Attorney and suggested that they don't want to hear anymore from Schoenhorn??? I can understand that as he is successful as a squeaky wheel...???

Yes, I thought the AC responded that it didn't have authority to order the Superior Court to do anything if there wasn't a Sup Court decision for the AC to review.

 

[Megnut]

I hope she gets her emergency hearing. I hope the judge agrees, no more ankle bracelet. I hope the judge is LIVID. She and her attorney are making a mockery of the Courts, and I hope the judge sees fit to lock her up. No more bracelet, no more bail.

Jennifer Dulos case: A new bail hearing has been ordered for Michelle Troconis as coronavirus shutdowns delay court proceedings

Aug 11, 2020

With shutdowns due to the coronavirus pandemic creating backlogs in the court system, the state Appellate Court has ordered a bail hearing in the case of Michelle Tronconis -- accused of conspiracy to commit murder in the disappearance of Jennifer Farber Dulos.

Troconis’ attorney, Jon Schoenhorn, has been seeking to have the conditions of her $2.1 million bond modified. But he said in a motion that he was unable to get a hearing because of the on-going COVID-19 pandemic that closed most state courthouses for several months.

Schoenhorn turned to the Appellate Court to demand an expedited hearing, which has now been set for August 28 at Stamford Superior Court. Troconis was supposed to be in court on Aug. 6 but it was postponed until Oct. 1. The Stamford court was particularly hard hit with several COVID cases including a death of a court employee.

Schoenhorn has said that he believes the initial restrictions placed on Troconis when she was initially arrested in June of 2019 were too restrictive for the charges she is facing. She has been wearing an GPS-monitored ankle bracelet since her initial arrest.

But he has been unable to get judges in Stamford to hold a hearing so instead he went to the Appellate Court seeking an order. The court initially denied his request but last Friday issued an order late last week saying that the Stamford court must hold a hearing before Sept. 4. The hearing has now been set for Aug. 28.

“This order should not be construed as directing the manner in which such hearing is to be conducted nor as expressing an opinion on those merits of the motion,” the court order said.

Schoenhorn said Tuesday his client is happy to finally get a hearing and is hopeful a judge will lessen the restrictions on her bond and remove the ankle bracelet since she has had no issues with probation officials since her initial arrest.

Thanks for the article Seattle1

Hmmmm...I'd like some clarity on the final sentence in the article. Does Schoenhorn now indicate that he also wants a lower financial bond, too? (For instance, if one of her parents wants to sell a property, would that effect the financial aspect of her bond?) Or, is AS only going to address the non-financial aspects of the bond? I do wonder if this has a different meaning than initially stated.

BBM: Schoenhorn said Tuesday his client is happy to finally get a hearing and is hopeful a judge will lessen the restrictions on her bond and remove the ankle bracelet since she has had no issues with probation officials since her initial arrest.

Contrary to AS's statement, MT has had a couple of issues with probation about her ankle monitoring, IMO.

• She had an expired passport that should have been turned in to the court in June 2019.
• She was with her attorney at a location other than the attorney's office as Judge White stipulated in court.

Just saying....and thinking IMO...MOO

The terminology for a motion for hearing regarding the alleged problems MT faces is usually along the lines of requesting a review of the nonfinancial bond requirements. The ankle monitor is a nonfinancial condition of her bond release.

I recall AS previously hinted at a lower bond and was reminded that MT's bond was not set in a vacuum -- it was according to each affidavit of arrest.

Then again, I think AS is shameless so I won't be surprised what he'll attempt when finally given an audience!

MOO

And possibly other violations, such as being someplace where she was “working”, but where she doesn’t get paid. And if her friends at the horse farm claim they ARE paying her, then rhey need to provide evidence that they are deducting taxes from her paycheck.

So true Jmoose! That's a good catch.

And, I forgot that Attorney Colangelo was/is investigating the accusations of 3rd party communication with FD.

Has MT paid taxes in CT BTW? Does she even have a CT driver's license?

 

[Laughing]

Wasn't there an issue with her early visit to New York? Bowen (who we know now is nearer Weinstein & Dranginis then to Normie now this JS character) said that she came back early because of the ankle monitor? Probabtion knew but Colangelo didn't?

She's slimey, give her an inch & she'll take that proverbial mile to a flight landing in South America.

I hear there's a ski resort there where everyone wears masks....

3rd party communication, maybe that could be threeth in honor of Michi's declining English fluency?

Plum bag, arrgh.

Lawyer: Jennifer Dulos likely ‘dismembered’ and should be declared dead

Sorry if already posted.

Thanks Subiechik21....I think it has already been posted, but the article clarifies a few things about the probate and FD's IRA account.

Notice in the article there is no proof of his statement about dismemberment and he offers none. Hug wants the cash in the account to settle the estate. It should go to the surviving spouse, but by declaring JFD as deceased Attorney Hug can move the funds to the estate for probate. There are lots of attorneys to feed.

Essentially the children will receive little if any cash. Their father killed their mother and took his own life leaving them no financial security. It's a tragic end for their parents and a great burden for them to face for the rest of their lives. Only good thoughts for the kids and their futures.

From the article:
"Hug does not say what evidence he has that supports she was dismembered and he did not respond to a request for comment.

Chief State's Attorney Richard J. Colangelo Jr., who is prosecuting the case, said he had no knowledge of whether Jennifer Dulos had been dismembered.


Fotis Dulos faced murder and other charges in the case when he died from an apparent suicide on Jan. 30.

Attorney Richard Weinstein, who represents Jennifer Dulos’ mother, Gloria Farber, called Hug’s probate court filing “ironic.” Weinsten pointed to how Fotis Dulos’ defense team repeatedly argued that Jennifer Dulos staged her own disappearance to frame her estranged husband, who they claimed had nothing to do with it.


“Based on extensive discussions with numerous friends and confidantes of Jennifer Dulos, as well as her mother Gloria, the undersigned supports the motion to determine title that Jennifer Farber Dulos predeceased Fotis Dulos and never, ever would have left her children voluntarily,” Weinstein wrote in a supplemental motion supporting Hug’s request.

Jennifer and Fotis Dulos were embroiled in a two-year divorce and custody battle when she vanished.

Farber has been appointed the guardian of the five Dulos children who have been in her care since their mother disappeared. Any money left from the estate of Fotis Dulos would go to Farber and the children, Weinstein said."

AND....

If Jennifer Dulos is declared dead, the money from the Fidelity IRA would go to the administration of the estate and any creditors, Weinstein said....

In closing....
However, Weinstein said he believes little will be left for the Dulos children once all of the creditors have been satisfied.

If she is "working" w.out pay, that's defined as "volunteering" which isn't sanctioned by her bond release conditions. If she is "working" w. pay, which is sanctioned by her bond release, she could be classified as a 1099 worker (independent contractor) vs. a W-2 employee. Therefore, MT would have to file her own income taxes, including a Schedule C as a sole proprietor, but there would (or should) be a contract between the horse farm friend and MT outlining duties/pay etc...doubtful any of these rules are followed because rules seem to be suggestions to MT!

Yes, this was exactly where I was going. I don’t think she has “worked” at all since the ankle monitor was placed, but I do think she has left her house many, many times for outings which would not have been sanctioned unless it was for “work”. She may, I suppose, be considered an independent contractor, and I’d like to see Colangelo request the paperwork that proves she is “working” when she is on these outings

While wondering how JS got the hearing for MT through the AC, which seems to have countermanded its own prior ruling that it didn’t have authority to rule on it, I remembered this case, Ruane v. Chief Court Administrator Judge Patrick Carroll, brought in June in federal court.

Lawyer sues state judicial branch over pandemic restrictions

So this case is brought in federal court on behalf of several criminal defendants, and their lawyer, alleging violations of their constitutional rights in being denied hearings b/c of pandemic. Defendant is Judge Carroll, as Chief Court Administrator, b/c he’s the one who is allegedly showing favoritism to civil cases over criminal cases in allowing teleconferences, etc. So how does the Appellate Court now have the authority to allow a hearing for MT, when there are many other criminal defendants in line, wanting to have their cases heard?

 

[MsJosie]

So true Jmoose! That's a good catch.

And, I forgot that Attorney Colangelo was/is investigating the accusations of 3rd party communication with FD.

Has MT paid taxes in CT BTW? Does she even have a CT driver's license?

AND who translated the CT drivers test or any drivers license test MT HAD to take in order to drive, if she does not understand, read, or write English? And how many Maps or GPS did she consult to get to all the so called business appointments she had?

IMO....the clients need to be called in to testify what language they spoke. I am sure that MOST did not speak Spanish!

The lawyer is going to regret ever saying MT did not understand her rights etc because of a language issue.....we find too many ways she has used English and never needed an interpreter!

I just read all 35 pages of it again. There were a lot of things I had forgotten. Thank you!

Nope. This is nothing more than MT thinking she's special.

FD claimed issues and asked to move the monitor to his wrist. The company does house calls. No excuse.

MT wants NO MONITOR, period. I hope she opts for jail.

The motion filed by Fotis Dulos’ attorneys says the company that monitors and maintains the GPS bracelets has agreed to let him wear the bracelet on his arm pending a judge’s approval.

Judicial branch officials, speaking about the general use of the monitoring devices, said it’s "standard procedure" that it’s placed on the ankle unless ordered by the court.

Jennifer Dulos case: How CT tracks movements of high-risk defendants

You're so right! I remember FD let the battery get too low. I thought at the time he slipped it off and went out, maybe to meet MT. JMO

Maybe MT won't have to opt out. Just maybe the judge will put her in a cell for complaining too much. She's very lucky she's still free.

Jennifer Valiante is still in prison for conspiracy when she helped her boyfriend clean up the mess. She also bought paper towels and plastic garbage bags and tape, but had a $2 million bond placed on her when she was caught. She was in jail from the beginning and went to prison. She plea bargained and only got 8 years. Not enough time! Her attorney was NP. JMO

 

[jakat]

I vaguely recall that the manufacturer was a "Sentinel" GPS electronic monitoring device worn by both FD and Mt. Thoughts?

I think you're right. I googled it and read more about how they work. She should be made to wear it or go to jail until her trial. I think she would try to leave the country if it was removed, and I also think she would realize she's free to go anywhere and do anything she wants. She conspired to commit a murder. That obviously doesn't seem to bother her much. JMO
