Watching that video further, the lawyer-analyst they consult to discuss the trial (a criminal defense attorney) reveals his own biases when he describes the defendant as "this woman who Fotis is trying to seduce" (they were already living together and had been intimate for at least two years - and possibly four... since 2015 - by the time JFD was killed). He further indicates that he believes the case against Troconis all comes down to the dumping of bags and whether MT was aware of what they contained.As a point of contrast to Fox61 covering DV in above post here we see NBC CT (Shannon Miller et. al) with a full line up ON THE COURTROOM STEPS of the Troconis Crew and Carlos Troconis saying he is putting his trust in justice and that MT is 'innocent'!
IMO this is typical Shannon Miller sensational type coverage on the topic as if gathering clips for 48 Hours etc. and this entire commentary by the Troconis Crew was no doubt orchestrated imo by JS on behalf of his client or their related PR.
I renew calls for a Gag Order to stop these kinds of comments to the Press.
It's hard to say whether it is bias, or ignorance about many of the details of the case (perhaps he has relied upon JAS for info) - but there is plenty beyond "what MT is aware of" while FD is dumping bags along Albany Ave.
Offhand:
- the "alibi scripts" (activity log and cellphone log for 5/24, created by MT with FD) which contain falsehoods (indicating their awareness that the truth is damaging) and material omissions (e.g., the Albany Ave trip - indicating awareness that that trip involved activity they did not want to reveal).
- MT providing FD the cover of a false alibi during the critical hours he was driving to New Canaan and when JFD was attacked and disappeared (claiming she had sex with him in the shower after she awoke to her alarm at 6:40, a claim which she later admitted was untrue as she had not seen FD at all at 4JC that morning - the morning JFD was attacked and disappeared).
- MT picking up FD's ringing cellphone when the prearranged call from AT came in - thus giving the false appearance that FD was there at 4JC to answer the call (within roughly 15-20 minutes of the time JFD returned to her home after school drop-off - the time period when she was then attacked and taken away).
- MT only being able to provide corroborating evidence of her own activities and location from around 9 am to 11 am (the pic with the store robot, the trips to see two friends - one about a purse left at 4JC and the other to "say goodbye" - everything else is simply her word) - the fact that MT has ensured she has that corroborating evidence during those critical two hours indicates to any reasonable person paying attention to all the evidence that she is AWARE that those hours are critical.
- MT's repetitive lies to LE, which evolved over time to correspond to the evidence LE revealed they had.
- MT accompanying FD on the Albany Ave evidence dumping run (I suspect that when MT was reaching down and doing something with her fingers at the curb, she was likely chalking an arrow or other mark to indicate - to whoever they were passing the doctored plates - the location where the FedEx envelope containing the doctored plates was tucked in the storm drain. I don't know, but hope LE has evidence confirming that).
- MT taking FD's and MT's phones away from 80 MS Rd to 4JC and leaving them there before returning to 80 MS Rd shortly before the time PG had earlier told FD he would be returning to Farmington at the end of his workday.
- MT's participation in the "musical chairs" parade of vehicles from 80 MS Rd to 4JC and back again to 80 MS Rd to keep PG away from his Toyota Tacoma so FD could try to convince him to take FD's Ford Raptor home for the weekend instead.
- MT taking the Toyota key which PG had seen in the passenger side door at 80 MS Rd so that when FD drove PG back to 80 MS Rd, it would not be there with the vehicle (giving FD another opportunity to urge PG to just take the Ford Raptor home instead).
- MT accompanying FD on the run to Russell Speeder's Car Wash in Avon to get PG's Toyota Tacoma detailed (while PG is at the job site, and without PG's awareness or permission).
- The witness-observed "locking of the eyes" between FD and MT at the ski pond BBQ on 5/31 after a friend announced the breaking news that LE was currently going up and down Albany Ave taking garbage bags out of bins and that it is related to JFD's disappearance. Immediately after that "locking of the eyes" between FD and MT, FD turned to make a phone call.
- ETA: MT's DNA on the plastic garbage bags recovered from Albany Ave.
