Did you see the entry I noticed? I don't understand why just HH phone number shows but nothing for FD? Do you get what is going on?

One line is incoming text and the one below that shows it was read.

I thought the same thoughts and went looking for an article from today and weirdly found an article stating that she broke down in tears 17 days ago when they played her first LE interview! I don't even remember that. Anyway here is that article (not from today) along with a colorful narration.

Alleged murder accomplice Michelle Troconis breaks down in court as footage plays of police grilling her about Jennifer Dulos case

It has not been determined yet whether Troconis will testify in her own defense, her lawyer said. She is facing charges of conspiracy to commit murder, evidence tampering and hindering prosecution.

nypost.com

At one point Thursday, Troconis was seen with her glasses above her head and her hands on her face as she shed tears. She also wiped her nose with a tissue while sitting at the defense table.

One of her sisters gripped rosary beads as footage played while her mother held a prayer card during Thursday’s testimony, CT Insider reported.

Thank you. I had forgotten she cried earlier, though still crying for herself, IMO.
Also, was not aware of the T's saying their rosary and reading from prayer cards. I wonder how that sat with the jury?
The best line from the article was that Starbucks didn't have her favorite chocolate croissant.
Maybe that's what made her cry?
MOO.

Let me sum.

The Defense is calling witnesses that help the State.

Perhaps it's simply because the defendant can't be helped, no matter how you spin it.

Best characterization of MT that I have seen.

It was on the log that was posted above...Maybe HH sent it but FD never got it? The HH entry had a phone number but the FD entry didn't seem to have a phone number. IDK, it was a strange entry on the list. MOO

Thanks. So, HH and FD were in contact on the murder date it seems. MOO

Yes, but FD didn't read it until he was back at 133PM

There has been an odd sterile non-feeling feeling for most of this case from the DNA match to the toothbrush (makes JD not a human but a DNA factory) to the toast at 4JX the night before the murder when FD and MT seemed relieved. Something is off, a little like The Great Gatsby, where there is this intrigue but no real, known emotions or conversations. FD is boiling over, plotting to kill his ex but is having an impromptu dinner party with people who are being duped by him. MT is furious bc FD is always making JD out as a monster but has this society face on to conceal. (And, at least some of these people knew Jennifer and don't think she was a monster.) It is so icky. The scheming for money. The scheming for privilege. The people in their community who accepted that they were who they were presenting. Michi and her sex talk and jokes. Fotis and his simmering rage. Their circle seems to not get that it is odd and disturbing. They don't want to get it--- laugh, laugh, nudge, nudge, eat homemade Greek fries, and ski. And, these acquaintances and friends remark on the pond, the skiing, the large home, the rugs brushing aside the human cost to the Farber /Dulos family. Just ick.

The no number could be a snap chat response which would have no phone number because it is encrypted.

Wow-pretty expensive, considering how relatively ineffective she appeared to be-although you never know what a jury will do.

Could FD have been trying to reach HH by another means and, not understanding, HH replied to his phone?

The time frame is hot.

 

[nodamselindistress]

Michi needs to sell lots of rugs to make it up to Mama!

 

[Catz]

Perhaps FD and HH would communicate via a burner phone by text only, so FD saying “no phone, text me” FD meant get in touch with me using burner phone #. Or just dont call me, dont ring the phone, just text me.

I do recall he was contacting him about the purse she left during the dinner

 

[Ruminations]

Yes, but in the NARC PARADE of characters in this tragic case she imo was the only one to shed tears (other than Pond Guy) and she certainly shed more tears than MT too imo.
MOO

I felt she was the most conflicted about being a defense witness.

I also felt Hutch was conflicted and not really being truthful with himself. He described the pond/club as family. The dock like the family room. And someone in the family was appearing to be a murderer who may have hidden the body in the family yard.

I'd cry too, Hutch.

MOO

Not sure what is going on with MT:

Delusional finally meets reality?

 

[Megnut]

Delusional finally meets reality?

I'm not sure she has that depth.

An extension may have fallen out.

Then again, if your fate was in JS and AF's hands, you might cry too.

Fav moment from dinner party guests:

'I know Spanish. I taught myself when we went to Spain for 12 days. '



You know....donde esta el bano?
and the must have...oh cabana boy, la carta de vino, por favor?

That back fired fantastically. What a humorous way to make it clear they socialized in English.

(For the record, I do get that there is a difference between court where your freedom is at stake and a dinner party. I'm not anti- translator. I don't see where language is the issue on the obvious lies, but I am not anti-translator.)

MOO

Looks like Kent Mawhinney and Judge R graduated from the same law school. Kent in 1990 and Judge R in 1989.
