I understand that it's become the norm in CT, but it still blows my mind and makes me a little bit angry that this "evil stepmother" isn't required to attend every single hearing for this case. I feel like if she gets to walk free for months or years until the trial and sentencing take place, she should at least have to show up for court every couple of months. (My opinion only, obviously.)
I'm all for her walk of shame too.

soon . .
Has it ever been reported/confirmed if KS's attorney Ioannis Kaloidis was privately hired or appointed by a judge?
He's already speaking with experts and who will be paying them?
How is he getting paid?

Wow and OMG!
You would think that KS's attorney John Kaloidis would have learned his lesson about victim blaming.
"Kaloidis lashed out at the victim, calling her a “drunk
,” while maintaining his client’s claim of innocence — a position that drew criticism from a local victims advocate group.
“The only person who’s guilty is [the victim],” Kaloidis said, in the hall of Litchfield Superior Court. “Guilty of seduction, guilty of making false statements and guilty of sending an innocent man to jail.”

I haven't seen any updates on this case. I hope that "S" is doing well and enjoying the freedom to do as he pleases.
WATERBURY — Prosecutors plan to file a request for a protective order to redact the new name of the complainant in the Waterbury captivity case in medical records it turns over to the defense attorney for Kimberly Sullivan.
Sullivan's attorney, Ioannis Kaloidis, said in court Tuesday that he plans to object, arguing the records should be turned over without any redactions.

One article says she's pleaded guilty and the other not guilty! That's a pretty enormous mistake to make really!?

Ioannis Kaloidis, Sullivan’s attorney, stated that he would object, arguing that redacting his records would impede their investigation.

her attorney has no leg to stand on IMO. His client is aware of her victim's name, and so is attorney Kaloidis. Medical records such as these will be filed under seal, if they even get put into the court file to observe HIPPA.
There is literally no legitimate reason he can state that I would find believable to NOT redact "S"'s birth name from those records. He wants to get the records as discovery, them use them as part of future boo hoo "here is proof my client didn't do it" pleadings, which could become a matter of public record, and hence he would then be releasing the victim's name to the public.
He wants to play dirty pool. This is IMO an attempt to intimidate the victim in this cause. JMO very strongly felt opinion.

It's a bit mean too isn't it! "S" wants to change his name and that is his right, maybe if he just went by the name he was given at birth (for the sake of proceedings) in court and away from court, those closest to him use his new chosen name and he changes it legally after the trial ends!?

That sounds were reasonable. Unfortunately, it would mean he continues to be held captive by this woman and this case. The case deals with the past and what happened. I suggest he be allowed to use his birth/real name throughout the case, but to legally change his name, protect himself from current and future harassment, and get on with his life.
Haha
I thought that was what I said?

Ha ha, now I'm chuckling. Communication, right? I had the impression there was a slight difference. I thought you were saying he delay changing his name until AFTER the case. But that his friends could start calling him by it now.
We were both saying, I think, that no way in the world is the defense to be supplied with his new information. There is no reason for them to have the new info as it does not pertain to the crimes in the past.
Where I thought we differed was that I think he should be able to go ahead and legally change his name and get on with his life NOW. Otherwise, the stepmother does continue to be controlling some of his life IF he delays making the name change legal until after the case. I want him completely free of her control now.
IF there is a difference between what you said and what I said, it is very fine indeed, isn't it? And there's always the real possibility I misunderstood what you said.
More stupid from Kaloidis.
He knows he'll be getting the medical records of "S" with or without his new name on them,
IMO
"The victim’s medical records are vital to the case, when he was rescued back in February – police said he weighed just 68 pounds – as a man in his early 30s.
But Kimberly Sullivan’s attorney still hasn’t received those records.
“Just because someone’s 68 pounds, that doesn’t mean anything to me,” said Attorney Ioannis Kaloidis.
Sullivan’s Attorney Kaloidis doesn’t believe something just because police say it – he needs to see evidence.
Evidence backing up the claim Sullivan’s stepson was 68 pounds when he was discovered – could be in his medical records – which could be crucial in Sullivan’s trial.'

This case really forces me to remind myself of why I believe due process is so important - for everyone. (Fighting thoughts of "lock her up and throw away the key.") MOO
