4/20/23 Update: Judge Kevin Randolph said during a hearing Thursday he would issue a written ruling in the next 10 days about whether the courtroom will be closed for the evidentiary hearing to determine if a letter written by the attorney representing Troconis in the Jennifer Dulos case is confidential under attorney-client privilege. Despite the agreement between the two sides, Randolph said he would not make a decision from the bench on Thursday, 4/27/23. “Even though there is agreement as to closing the courtroom, this court is still bound to determine if that closure outweighs any public interest in the case,” Randolph said.
4/26/23 Update: Judge J. Randolph has agreed to close the courtroom when discussing potential evidence submitted by the attorney for Troconis according to a ruling issued Wednesday. In his four-page ruling, Judge Randolph concluded that the public should be prohibited from attending the "Privilege Waiver" hearing in case the items are used in Troconis' defense. "A defense for all to see is in danger of becoming no defense at all," Randolph said.” 4/27/23 Update: Next pretrial hearing on 5/12/23 for all cases.
