Exactly the way I feel-my grandmother would have been appalled to see the rosary used as a prop.
Honestly the rosary as props for social media clicks farce seen today on the Troconis Crew was just another horrific display but frankly is the tip of the iceberg of issues imo associated with this family.
The idea of taking a sacred religious object and bringing it to Court really isn't all that different than MT who inappropriately wore rosary beads around her neck for years in her various court appearances. Its how the Crew rolls and they are consistent. Consistently gross and inappropriate to say disrespectful to the murdered JF and her family. The family it seems does not have the ability to understand or accept that consequences exist for misdeeds and bad behaviour. This is the family who up until recently said JF was "Missing" and "We don't know where Jennifer might be" and "Maybe she just left"! They also said, "Michelle is innocent", "Michelle did nothing" and "Michelle knows nothing" and "Why is Fotis Dulos being discussed at this trial for Michelle". Right? Nope, its wrong and they have been consistently wrong from the second MT was first arrested imo and zero has been done to stop this from happening.
After watching the slow roll of compelling evidence in Court and then listening to the law enforcement interviews today, on what planet can these statements from the Troconis Crew possibly be correct? The statements aren't correct imo and simply continue the many lies and misstatements made by MT over and over in the interviews seen today. But, I don't think they should be allowed to make such statements on social media but yet they do.
The word sacrilege comes to mind with the rosary display today but also do the words shameless, ignorant and grossly entitled (and this is being kind imo)! The farcical part of this most recent display has been that it was most likely recommended and fully endorsed by Defence Counsel, TP. Yep, his PR advice includes the brilliantly inappropriate advice to bring your rosaries to court and PRAY! IMO their time would be better spent on bended knee IN CHURCH with their rosaries where they belong and perhaps saying a few HAIL MARY's for their no doubt soon to be convicted sister and possibly show up for confession to reflect on your choices.
This is the same Defense Counsel that has JF referred to in Court as "Alleged Victim" and who reduced the "Alleged Victim" to absolute inanimate status in the DNA/Blood analysis where she was referred to as a "Toothbrush". This dehumanisation was approved and given the stamp of approval of Judge Randolph and there was no objection from the state so far as I recall. Great, the folks at the State who should be standing up for dead DV Victims that cannot speak for themselves were silent and did nothing as the deceased JF was reduced to the status of "Toothbrush". Other states have Victims Advocates for deceased victims but not unsurprisingly CT has no such program to protect Victims who cannot speak for themselves.
I think its well beyond time that the social media campaign undertaken by MT and the Troconis Crew over the past 4 years needs to be brought to the fore of discussion as I believe it to be highly relevant to to issues of character (or lack thereof) of the Defendant/her family and Defence Counsel present in this case and IDK why it hasn't been discussed in the Media? I don't know why Courts don't require a social media ban in cases where DV is involved and/or the Victim is deceased?
Where is someone like Shannon Miller of NBC CT who claims to be a reporter (imo she is not) on this case and not looking at what the Defendant is saying about the Victim in this case on Social Media? Ditto for Lisa Backus or Dave Altimiri or any of the other reposters in CT that simply post for clicks and views without doing any substantive work to explain precisely who the Defendant is as a human being and who the family around her is who encouraged their daughter/sister every step of the way in her relationship with FD even to the early days in 2015 when the family well knew that FD was the very married father of 5.
I'm still puzzling it out but it appears that FD gifted the White Cherokee that we are seeing in this trial to MT when she was living in FL in I believe 2015 and the vehicle was moved to CT and replaced at some point. FD couldn't afford that vehicle so my bet is that the vehicle was paid for by JF (as everything in the life of MT and FD no doubt was). The couple traveled the world for over 2 years on JF dime while she was unaware of the affair and thought that FD was pursuing his dream of world class water skiing. Right. My guess is as a mother of 2 sets of twins and an infant daughter that she was most likely overwhelmed and frankly glad FD was away for 1/2 of the month so she could get on with surviving and simply taking care of her children!
DV does unexpectedly bad things and awful things to otherwise strong people (usually women but sometimes men) that the victims rarely talk about. I have seen DV bring strong emotionally stable people to their knees emotionally to the point of hospitalisation. I do think that FD did a major job on the mental well being of JF and for an ignorant MT not to recognise this tells me alot about MT and the people in her life. Having an idea of what living with FD might have been like for JF, I can see where having him away was a blessed relief and offered some temporary peace of mind. To read of her fear of leaving and sense of terror of the unexpected was heartbreaking but sadly its usually part of the DV experience for Victims. MT cared for none of this and was simply mad that the money was all being spent on attorneys in Family Court and that she wouldn't be able to stay at 4JX with FD for the rest of her life and we saw in todays law enforcement interviews that when left without a question she would return to talking about JF.
But, I think what enraged me all over again was to hear someone as profoundly uneducated/ignorant/stupid as MT appear to pontificate today in her interviews with law enforcement on the mental health of the Victim in this case, JF who was the vicim of sustained DV over the course of her marriage to FD. Make no mistake but as the longstanding mistress of FD, MT was DIRECTLY responsible for inflicting sustained pain and torment on JF, even if JF didn't acknowledge the existence of MT (which she didn't). Think about the role of a mistress to a married man and what exactly that might mean to the wife to whom he is still legally married. To appropriate a famous phrase, "There were 3 in this marriage" and make no mistake, MT was caught up fully in the drama of the divorce and no doubt fuelled FDs rage and anger to the point where he felt the best option was to murder JF. To say that MT was not involved in the Dulos marriage or divorce or the murder of JF is to not imo understand the role of a mistress and it was all over her ramblings to law enforcement in her interview.
Over and over we saw MT repeating information from a discredited report that had been excluded from the Family Court file and where the involved medical professional was absolute discredited as well. But, this hasn't stopped MT, her family and extended friends from continuing to bring this mis-information to which they were not entitled on to social media on 'rinse and repeat'. We have even seen the exact same disgraceful and unethical behaviour from Defence Counsel as he has now referred to this report WITHOUT SHAME at least 4 times that I can recall (after losing his suit against the Clerk in Family Court to unseal the divorce documents). Judge Randolph DID NOTHING and the STATE DID NOTHING. Why no sanctions, Why no censure and WHY HAVEN"T THESE REFERENCES BEEN STRICKEN FROM THE RECORD in front of the Jury. IDK, but I chalk it up to 'its Connecticut'.
Why do the Media never ask any questions? Why not ask if people think its ok to publicly slam and shame a person on Social Media who was murdered 4 years ago and cannot speak for herself when she is attacked by the person directly responsible for her torment? DV is a pervasive issue in CT (particularly Fairfield County) and the US but rarely discussed in the media and to my knowledge only Fox61 has consistently included DV related content in the coverage of this horrific case.
JF, among other things, was the VICTIM of DV at the hands of FD directly and MT indirectly. MT conducted an ongoing affair with the married father of 5 for nearly 2 years before JF found out about the situation and was forced to flee her house (which she paid for) and where FD and MT effectively squatted for two years without paying a penny as agreed. MT and FD demanded to JF that MT and her daughter move into 4Jx and effectively share the house with JF and the 5 Dulos children. Think about that and then think again. JF fled in fear and great secrecy shortly thereafter and MT and her daughter moved into 4JX. JF continued to live in fear in NC where she fought hard to maintain custody of her children. Ultimately her fight for her children cost her her life at the hands of her enraged husband who was no doubt egged on by his angry mistress that all their money was being spent on the divorce and custody battle.
FD never paid a penny of child support or provided medical care for his ex wife and children for the duration of the separation either. When asked under oath why he wasn't paying child support, he replied that the Court hasn't ordered me to. MT and her family knew that FD wasn't paying to maintain his children and knew also that the couple were residing at 4JX courtesy of JF and her mother whose bank held the mortgage on the property. MT and her family didn't care that FD wasn't paying any support and they no doubt justified their thoughts based on the wealth of the Fabers.
The issue of ongoing social media posting relating to the Defendant and her family hasn't been reported on by the Media and even when the issues of what were going on in Social Media were reported to the State and the Judge, nothing was done. Who thinks its ok to go on social media and slam someone who cannot respond because she has been murdered? I certainly don't. But, MT and the Troconis Crew think differently. We are talking about people who up until I think yesterday have never by name acknowledged JF or her family and in their recent interview on the Courtroom steps simply refer to the Farbers as, "...the other family....". Right.
We have a Victim in the case that can no longer speak for herself and all of her children are minors and not in a position to speak out either. Where has the State been in terms of protecting the Victim in this case? As far as I'm concerned they have been sitting on their hands and hiding under their desks as public ongoing shaming on social media of a dead DV Victim should not be allowed ever imo. But, we have seen it here and we have seen it from MT, her Counsel and her various family members on Social Media.
None of this sadly shocks me as its CT and not even being charged with Conspiracy to Commit Murder puts you in jail. Nope, no jail. No gag order, no admonitions to Counsel to 'cut it out' on social media etc. Nothing. So, Victim blaming and shaming and slamming continued unabated on social media and continues. This is who MT is and this is who the Troconis Crew are and this is what Defence Counsel recommends as a 'PR' strategy to his client. These are people that will do and say whatever it takes to accomplish whatever goals they have and they don't want MT to go to prison, possibly for the rest of her life.
I don't know what other folks saw today in the rambling non linear and largely irrelevant testimony of MT in the first two interviews with Law Enforcement. I'm still processing it all frankly as I found it more than a bit shocking to say nothing of being disturbing that those interviews happened shortly after the brutal murder of JF in her own garage at the hands of her husband and assisted by MT and KM. What hit me starkly about the interviews was that MT seemed absolutely disconnected from the horror of the situation and when law enforcement sought to bring her back to reality she then became annoyed that she wouldn't be able to randomly ramble about everything that WASN"T IMPORTANT.
Just think about it from the standpoint of it were you being interviewed about your lover's missing estranged wife. Would you have said anything that MT was seen saying today? It was a farce loaded with lies upon lies with even more lies and where reality only made brief appearances and only when prompted by law enforcement. I admire the control of law enforcement as after watching the interviews I'm not even sure waterboarding would have changed the MT performance. And, make no mistake that was a performance. I particularly loved the second where she looked up under her eyelid briefly to see if the faux tear display was having an effect. Brilliantly sociopathic imo and I hope its included in the movie if one is ever made as it was to me at least the essence of who MT is as a human being.
I didn't think much of anything could shock me about MT as I've followed this tragic situation from the day JF was declared 'missing' but today's full length videos showed me the callous disregard that MT has for others and all she cares about is herself and what she wants. To see the nearly 5 minutes of purely ignorant psycho babble rambling about how she wanted to make sure that she wasn't in danger from the Victim had me checking the feed to make sure I was listening to the correct police interview!
JF no doubt didn't experience more a few seconds of thinking about MT as MT was irrelevant to her life imo. So, the idea that MT sees herself as being important to the overall situation or possibly in danger from JF shows the depths of narcissism along with her extreme arrested development. In all the testimony in the interview I also could see that most likely Mama Troconis had dripped poison into the ear of MT on the appropriate babble to utter in a custody battle and no doubt FD was treated to endless advice from MT and Mama Troconis on how to 'better' manage the situation with JF. Thank god this woman lost her licence to practice in FL as I doubt whether MT had the base intelligence or knowledge of the topic to understand what exactly she was even saying about JF. BUT, for MT to think that she would ever be in danger from JF really is the POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK and I found it to be one of the more interesting things uttered by MT today!!
IDK many situations where Defendants who have been charged with Conspiracy/Tampering/Hindering etc. have remained free and outside the jurisdiction sking and enjoying life far away from where the brutal murder that they are charged with being associated with took place. I have NO WORDS for the State of CT to have allowed the freedom of movement to the Defendant to travel, ski and live her life with her daughter daily for the past 4 years and for this I blame the Judiciary and the State. JF's children have no mother. I strongly believe that had MT spent more time in jail that perhaps this trial would not be necessary.
How is it possible that MT I believe has spent less than a week in jail since JF was murdered? Think about that and then think about it again. JF was murdered in cold blood and in what looked to be a fit of rage by FD in her garage and her children lost their mother while MT and KM have largely been free out on bail pending trial (KM was unable to raise bail for a good bit of time but I believe is now free on bail) despite being intimately involved with the crime.
This is all so propounding disappointing to see play out on social media and IDK why neither Judge Randolf nor the States Attorneys did anything to protect JF as a victim from the venom of MT and the Troconis clan on Social Media.
MOO and MAD!
