GUILTY CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, deceased/not found, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #67

One thing that has blown me away with all of this is how so many of their friends were all in with him divorcing his beautiful wife, mother of his 5 children, and taking up with the defendant.
Supporting and toasting "the light at the end of the tunnel".
Call me old fashioned, but what is wrong with these people?
MOO.

Same here-we have known a guy for years, who decided that he could do better than the wife he had, so started something up with another woman. Quit his job, tanked his finances so his wife got stiffed for money, and divorced her. We aren’t friends with him anymore, and he doesn’t understand why.

More like 30 to 50.
No senior citizens.

Just wanted to add that I may have seen this on another website.
Also, emphasize that people with more life experiences could add to the discussion.
JMO.

Thanks. Do you tend to think they are a bit on the young side?

 

[lucegirl]

I’m not sure age is a big issue here. Facts speak for themselves and as MM said - this isn’t a hard case.

 

[lucegirl]

The easel person can’t be 30.

 

[Eli9]

Me too! This is the case that brought me to WS. I just read for about a year before I first posted, I was scared to screw up.

Me too! I had been eyeing WS, but actually joined with this case!

Me too!

Watching the clock time for 5:24:19....

 

[citygirl]

Mixed ages around 50? Seems representative if MT is 51.

I thought there was a concern upthread about a generational gap in terms of the different attorney styles - the younger tech savvy prosecutors versus the bumbling horn who probably can’t work an easel.

I guess we don’t know enough about the jurors to pick that dynamic apart.

Also have’t heard any commentary about sleepy jurors, bored jurors picking lint off their socks.

True. No reporters in the courtroom weighing in on that.
Strange. In past trials I have watched or followed many used to do that.
Why not in this case?
Something to think about.

The easel person can’t be 30.

The easel person likely played Pictionary - that’s what we used it for

The easel person can’t be 30.

LOL, they would be on their phone if 30 (are phones allowed in deliberations?)

 

[sweetcaro]

Oh to be a fly in the jury room!

Thanks. Do you tend to think they are a bit on the young side?

I do. IMO, they would benefit from just one person with longer life experience. But that's just me.
Lots of others may disagree.

FD seemed to have several types of people in his orbit. Those he could USE (like JF) and those who were indebted to him for one favor or another (like PG - job, others he showed around Greece on their honeymoons, etc.) and those who were SLIME like he was, amoral as the day is long (like MT, attorney Rose, et al).

Don’t forget KM…he must have been indebted to fD, also.

Not sure he wasn't SLIME and a cross over!

 

[lucegirl]

Perhaps the D’s closing was so confusing, to the point of it being not helpful at all, as compared with the State, that the Jury wanted to “unhear” Horn, and rehear Petu and see if she added anything relevant to the timeline on the 24th.

We can be pretty sure they aren’t hung up on the pressed-for-time-Uber-dictating expert, the forgetful-memory expert, and the neighbor who saw FD jogging.

I believe they are conscientious.

6 week trial. 6 hours would be quick for returning with a verdict.

Due diligence.

Maybe they are of one mind, but Easelperson asked the good question -- if there were one thing to sway you away from guilt, what would it be?

Planted Memory Syndrome?

Second Language Insufficiency?

Colossal DidNotKnowness?

Best Friend Testimony?

Smart jury. Like us here, how gratifying for them to discover a gap in time, breach in recall, a critical lie that hadn't already been identified!

Guessing they will play devil's advocate before resting comfortably on their laurels with a guilty verdict.

JMO

Yes agree. The jury owes it to our Justice system and yes even the defendant, to be logical and thorough. As the judge said. This trial has a lot of complexities. JMO

It it were my 18 year old he would send a note to the judge to ask “What’s the name of the App for the Jury Instruction game, I mean Forms.”

 

[Megnut]

MT and Pictionary. You don't want to be the one who picks the card "over the bed".

No one wants to draw or see that.

How utterly tacky to display that over JFd's bed anyway. Crass.

Sorry but I gotta say it. Naked, she's still beige.

I disagree slightly. Younger people really understand phone technology and could add a lot. How do we know the easel person’s age? I missed a lot yesterday. I doubt very seriously any personal phones are allowed in deliberations. But who knows?

My son got called to report for Jury duty @Stamford Superior Court in April and he is 23.
