2/16/23 Update: Pretrial hearing on 3/8/23 has been rescheduled on 3/16/23. 3/14/23 Update: Troconis' lawyer files to suspend 24/7 GPS monitoring.
3/16/23 Update: Troconis is again seeking to have the GPS tracking device removed from her ankle, but a judge on Thursday delayed a decision on the matter. She was not in court. Defense attorney Schoenhorn filed a 51-page brief on Wednesday, 3/15/23, describing the device as onerous. Both Judge Gary White & Assistant State's Attorney Michelle Manning said they had not had time to read the brief, which led White to delay arguments on the matter until 4/6/23. Before the next hearing, Manning may file a response to Schoenhorn's brief. Troconis required to appear at this hearing. The court will hear arguments on a prosecution request to seal the courtroom for certain portions of the case. Both the prosecution & Troconis' defense have leveled accusations of inappropriate actions in the case. Hearing scheduled on 4/20/23.

Trial set to begin January, 2023. 2/23/22: Plead guilty to a charge of violating a protective order that stemmed from an incident involving his ex-wife. Sentenced for violation & assault on 6/17/22 was given a 5 year suspended prison sentence & 3 years of probation on a domestic violence charge.
*Fotis Dulos (52) – Committed suicide on 1/28/20 & declared dead at 5:32pm on 1/30/20. 3/3/20: Charges dismissed. The case against Dulos will be officially dismissed in about a year, unless the state decides to reopen it. 1/17/22: After debt, no money left in Dulos estate for children. While Fotis Dulos’ estate has $395,687 in assets, it owes $548,280.75 in expenses, according to Farmington Probate Court records.

BREAKING: The judge has granted Michelle Troconis’ request to remove her GPS ankle monitor.

All I can think of is Jennifer and zip ties and trash bags.

MT is proof that the ankle bracelet was effective, in keeping her available for court.

Which strong community ties will MT cut first?

I. Am. Angry.

In other news Judge Blawie's ex-wife passed away yesterday.

 
Excerpt from "The Patch". WOW, is all I can say...

STAMFORD, CT — Michelle Troconis, one of two remaining defendants in the Jennifer Farber Dulos disappearance case, had the GPS monitoring device removed from her ankle Thursday after nearly four years, according to media reports.
Troconis has worn the device since her arrest in early June 2019, roughly a week after Jennifer Dulos disappeared from her New Canaan home. Jennifer Dulos' body has not been found, and she is presumed to be dead.
On Thursday, Troconis' attorney, Jon Schoenhorn, convinced Stamford Superior Court Judge Gary White to have the device removed. Schoenhorn filed a series of motions over a couple of years to have the device removed.

Wow-that woman sure had a rough time. That’s very sad.

Do we know which Judge ruled in MT's favor here?

I recall it was Judge John Blawie (Stamford Superior Court) who last agreed w/ the prosecutor that the charges against MT are serious, and the state certainly had a rightful interest in knowing her whereabouts at all times in relation to this case. However, Blawie also agreed with JS that MT had been compliant with the terms of her $2.1M bond release and GPS monitoring.

From OP's quoted link, the court will retain her passport.
