One year later and JLS and his one-size-fits-all strategy (i.e., civil rights heavy) has not changed. MT's defense has nothing to do with being innocent but how her civil rights are being violated!
Troconis' new lawyer expected to challenge evidence
Feb 6, 2020
Troconis spoke to police three times since Jennifer Dulos vanished on May 24, according to arrest warrants. Police said she
changed her story several times and tried to create an
alibi the morning of the disappearance by visiting friends and taking
selfies with the Stop & Shop robot.

Schoenhorn is known for his passionate representation in civil rights and criminal cases.
[..]
“I’ve know Jon as a close friend and colleague for nearly 40 years,” attorney Gerald Klein said. “He’s a very smart lawyer, he’s aggressive and I couldn’t imagine a better lawyer for this type of case.”
[..]
“He takes a lot of the cases that other attorneys will pass on,” he said. “He does a good job and he’s aggressive, that’s what the lingering co-defendants really need.”
A graduate of Fairfield schools and Antioche College in Ohio, Schoenhorn
worked as a journalist as he sought his law degree from the University of Connecticut.
[..]
Schoenhorn said he was
one of more than a dozen attorneys who Troconis was considering to hire after Fotis Dulos died from an apparent suicide on Jan. 30.
[..]
“I’m not going to speculate on
why they chose me,” said Schoenhorn, who took on Troconis’ case on Monday.
[..]
Schoenhorn
plans on being more vocal about his client’s innocence, he said, and is also
seeking to have some of the court-imposed restrictions removed as part of her release on a total of $2.1 million bond.
[..]
Troconis and Dulos also created “alibi scripts” that police found in their Jefferson Crossing home, according to arrest warrants.
However,
Troconis and Mawhinney provided contradicting statements when interviewed by investigators, the warrants said.

New attorney for Michelle Troconis to question potential language barrier in Dulos case
Feb 6, 2020
Unfortunately when the
big fish gets away, the law enforcement is now going to turn to what's next and if it happens to be the little fish, all the more reason that someone in that condition, in that situation, needs a strong defense and that’s what i'm going to provide.”
One of the first things Schoenhorn did was file a motion to move the prosecution from Stamford to Hartford.
He said he also plans to argue that his client
shouldn't be under house arrest.
“There should be no house arrest," he said. "She should be free to travel at least within the United States. She's going to have to give up her passport. She has a 13-year-old daughter who goes to school out of state. She cannot visit her daughter. If her daughter comes here, she c
annot leave the house even to take her daughter for ice cream. These are things we are going to be working on in the immediate future.”
[..]
Also arrested as part of the case was Dulos' friend and attorney Kent Mawhinney. He, like Troconis, was charged with conspiracy to commit murder.
[..]
"I'll just say this, if you look at the statutes, you have
to prove a conspiracy which means an agreement," Schoenhorn said. "An actual agreement, a meeting of the minds to commit a murder, and in order to even be charged with tampering and hindering, you need to know what specific crime had occurred when even the police didn't know or didn't claim to know for what? Six, seven months?"

New Attorney For Michelle Troconis Speaks Out About the Dulos Case
Feb 7, 2020
Although Schoenhorn said his main argument is that the case should have been heard in Hartford in the first place,
moving it out of Stamford might be beneficial to his client for another reason -- finding a fair and impartial jury.
“The jurors up here, in my opinion so far, would be
less prejudiced than down in New Canaan where there are these vigils, there's all these memorials,” said Schoenhorn.

Nope-- I don't believe more than a dozen lawyers were wanting to rep MT -- more self hype for JLS!
I hope that KM is fully cooperating, set his contradicting statements straight, and JLS is left exactly where he started -- his poor victim client that did not have an interpreter, and she's nothing more than the scapegoat for a costly investigation.
MT's defense has nothing to do with being innocent but how her civil rights are being violated!
A missing, murdered mother -- what juror would not see through that defense...
