I've said from the beginning that FD committed suicide not because he was likely going to jail after the emergency bond hearing but because he had been unmasked as a man with absolutely no means of his own.
Unfortunately, for individuals like FD, a skilled narc, their resources (of people with means) can be plentiful. In this case, the emergency bond hearing was postponed until the next day.
At the hearing, while FD in hospital, the parties agreed NOT to revoke FD's bond with approval by the Court. Instead, the Court raised his bond another $500,000 to where had FD recovered, he would have needed to post a new bond at $6.5M to remain out of jail. And by the end of the day, Pattis had lined up others such as Judelson that were willing to take over his previous bond rescinded by Palmetto.
AC, a wealth woman, would have likely paid the bond premium and found others in her circle willing to pledge real estate as collateral for the underwriter. Thus the enabling of a killer would rinse and repeat. Not much different than exists today in CT with defendants MT and KM. MOO
Fotis Dulos, accused of murdering his estranged wife, Jennifer, tried to commit suicide. Attorney Norm Pattis said he feels responsible.

A new arrest warrant was established for Dulos and his bond was raised from $6 million to $6.5 million, but the moves are considered technicalities that will allow his family to visit him in what could be his final hours or days. If he recovers, the legal decision also will allow him to return to Connecticut, accompanied by Pattis or Smith, because his attorneys waived extradition.
"This was a humane outcome," Smith said outside of court. "It allows his family to see him, and it gives the state [of Connecticut] a guarantee that he will return should he recover."
