CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, deceased/not found, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #65

[Jmoose]

Atty Schoenhorn told her in 2021 that MT:

Native Spanish speaker
Grew up in South America
Spanish speaking family

Said not a word that she was born in the US, and spent her first 6 years here.

 

[afitzy]

More like cunning.
MOO.

I think 'street smart' would be a solid description....MOO

 

[Eli9]

JS - Would you have written a longer report if I had given you more than 6 hours to write a report?

 

[Megnut]

Witness referenced Dr. Loftus in a chapter of a book written in 2014. But had never talked to her. Had never met MT prior to today.

JS: asked if she would have written a more in depth report if she'd been given more time.

Ah, it's done.

 

[BadRx]

That lady is back. - Petu?

 

[Diddian]

I kinda feel sorry for her as this is her first rodeo.

The courtroom is an adversarial setting - one side against another. Any expert witness who doesn't know that needs to learn it - their expert testimony is going to be challenged. It's part of earning the $600/hr these witnesses are being paid.

 

[lucegirl]

Expert: when people lie, they add too many details.... but that's not my area of expertise.

Damn! Now that is the money quote right there. You can tell when she is going to lie when her responses to LE start with a ramble about food she was going to make. If anything sticks out about MT’s delivery it’s too many details.

 

[Jmoose]

Likely a typo but I like it. Beige meets not bright.

Bright or not bright, I think what we have to call her is cunning.

Jmo

It was a typo-subsequently fixed. Typing too fast, and no proofreading!

 

[sleuth66]

MM is savvy.
If a crime is committed in one language, English, is the person more likely to remember it if asked in that same language?
Encoding, etc.
Witness: yes.
Witness is being tough but MM is eventually able to crack her.

 

[Megnut]

Defense witness, ClaraDiperon (?) Petu

Grew up in Argentina. Met through mutual friend, kids same age as Michelle's daughter

Met in 2017. Still friends.

 

[Bobbbbberson]

all of this does make me curious about the report (maybe that is the hope- get the jury curious about what they cannot see?)- though I more or less respect that the prior judge sealed it. It could make reference to the children (minors) and with all the stress of the divorce and FD acting out, I would be surprised if JD did not have some signs of stress or depression-that would be normal. IMO. However to bring the report in now, without the actual expert and with both JD and FD dead, it seems like it would be a mess. IMO.

With all we’ve heard about this report and the divorce proceedings I think whatever conclusions were reached must have been unreliable. FDs goal must have been to make the court believe he was the only sane person in those kids lives… such as this filing disparaging GF and requesting a psych exam:

[Eli9]

This is the last witness for the Defense I believe.

 

[I am not Sherlock H.]

It was a typo-subsequently fixed. Typing too fast, and no proofreading!

Forgiven. Did you type that up as a report? (Couldn’t resist and asking for a friend.) MOO

 

[kaen]

The focus on having to leave the house every time the kids were there or on the frustrations of custody makes it more likely that MT and FD would be upset about the circumstances even if they are hopeful. Better to have JD gone than keep having to back to court.

 

[Jmoose]

Forgiven. Did you type that up as a report? (Couldn’t resist and asking for a friend.) MOO

No, I dictated it while I rode in the back of an Uber!

 

[Megnut]

Witness didn't waterski, went to the pond. Never met the children. Talked to FD about his frustration in not being able to see his kids.

Was aware that MT and her daughter weren't able to be around the kids.

Did she use disparaging language about Jennifer? Witness doesn't understand the word. Did she use bad words? Just small Spanish words.

Were you aware of a custody report?

Said there was a favorable report that he'd get his kids. At Greek Easter. End of April.

AF is asking who all was at Greek Easter....

AF: and Fotis was happy and celebrating?

 

[kaen]

Fireplace use coming in.

 

[lucegirl]

Pond. Greek Easter. Custody Report. Please stop it!

 

[sleuth66]

Is AF actually wearing a purple blouse today?
(As in, all the CSP were wearing purple ties and accessories when taking FD and MT into custody for murder).

 

[Eli9]

Just confirming that this is it for the Defense right? This morning JS said 2 witness and the document which was tossed by Judge R.
