They definitely had a reason, even if it was only a petty one, for irritating the COs and the other ladies.

I wish that the stuff that wasn’t presented at trial, that led Det. Kimball to his 100% certainty that MT has far more information, would be made public. Of course, she has an appeal that her team are working on, and likely other reasons that we’ll never know what they know-but a conversation with him would be pretty interesting, if he could talk openly about what they discovered.

Quoted from The Courant
“There’s no question that Michelle Troconis, if she chose to, she could provide more information. But that would harm her appeal,” Kimball said. In that same article he mentions that MT tried to reinvent herself post murder and most of the people who spoke on her behalf at the trial were people she met after the murder (which we all knew, but just as a reminder).

A judge has ruled that Michelle Troconis, who is serving more than 14 years in prison in the death and disappearance of Jennifer Dulos, can take to trial the habeas challenge of her conviction on claims her first attorney was ineffective.
In the ruling issued Aug. 8, state Superior Court Judge Carl Schuman denied the state's motion filed a month before to have Troconis' habeas challenge to her conviction thrown out, paving the way for the challenge to move to a trial, which is scheduled for January. Troconis in the habeas challenge is seeking a release from prison and to have the conviction overturned.

I don’t doubt that she’s guilty-it just won’t surprise me if she ends up out of prison. Ugh-she makes me sick.

Troconis also is appealing her conviction before the state Supreme Court. That appeal is pending.
A 27-page habeas document filed in September contends that attorney Andrew Bowman, who represented Troconis prior to February 2020, never told her about the downside of speaking with investigators who were trying to find Jennifer Dulos, never prepared her for speaking with police, and never asked her whether she had any relevant information for law enforcement.
"There is no basis in fact or law to support this habeas petition," Bowman said Thursday. "I absolutely reject any claims that I did not render effective assistance of counsel."
Attorney Adele Patterson, one of the attorneys representing Troconis in the habeas challenge, said Thursday that "the trial dates are set and we expect to move forward."
The state had contended in its motion filed July 9 to have the case thrown out that Troconis' attorneys continued to include claims that Schuman had ordered removed from the habeas challenge. But Schuman said in his ruling that the claims in question were removed properly and then added to a separate part of the updated habeas document, which was not a violation of his orders issued in April.

Michelle Troconis files petition for release, claims constitutional violations; contempt case continued
Troconis filed a habeas corpus petition on Sept. 13, which claims her constitutional rights were violated during the Jennifer Dulos investigation in 2019. The filing calls for the judgements against her to be vacated.

Troconis filed a habeas corpus petition on Sept. 13, which claims her constitutional rights were violated during the Jennifer Dulos investigation in 2019. The filing calls for the judgements against her to be vacated. Troconis has been at York Correctional Institution since March 1, when a jury found her guilty of conspiring with her then-boyfriend, Fotis Dulos, to kill his estranged wife and helping him cover up the crime. Judge Kevin Randolph sentenced Troconis to 14 ½ years in prison.
The habeas petition targets her initial attorney, Andrew Bowman, for alleged “deficient performance and/or incompetent counsel” and then-Stamford State's Attorney Richard Colangelo for allegedly failing to honor an agreement in exchange for Troconis’ cooperation.
Copy of the Troconis petition available at the link above.

She really might have gotten away with her parts in this, IMO, if she had just let her bad actions hide in the shadows of the actions of Dulos and Kent.
They make me even sicker!
But, she chose the bizarre defense strategy of "There was no murder probably, but if anything bad happened it was my bf while I was on the phone."
Bowman seemed to assume that something bad happened, and that MT would help investigators if she could. She would have been better off staying with him.

I'm sure Attorney Bowman regrets the day he agreed to even meet with MT, let alone accept her case. Does anyone know what his involvement will be during this scheduled trial?

IMO if the inmate had cooperated with her first attorney, he would have brokered her a sweetheart of a sweetheart deal and she's be out now, with time served.
This is absolutely NOT a case of ineffective counsel. Screamd ineffective client.
I'm going to guess that FD built a pullcord into his plan. She turns on him, he buries her in court.

And what is her narrative now anyway? FD was going to get custody because of the "favorable report" (he wasn't and it wasn't going to be) so there goes motive?
The inmate didn't just want the divorce to be over, she wanted JFd all the way gone, match match with FD. Deadly impatience....
And she was no part of it, it was all FD and he tricked her....
But then where's the confession? Where's the remorse? Where's the righteous anger at FD for putting in her in such a position? Where's coming clean with everything she knows, now that she knows he used her?
And JFd isn't dead. Just up and disappeared. And no one had anything to do with it.
None of them works.
IMO she was left holding the bag (open), but she did far more than that or she'd cop to it, with our without FD exposing her.
Didya burn all FD's maddening divorce papers? Reams of motions, up in smoke? Couldn't resist? Doing yer happy dance? While FD finishes taking care of his ultimate divorce -- she wasn't "cleaning JFd" -- which means he was, and unless I miss my guess, that meant making the mother of his children wholly unrecognizable. It was a pact.
By nightfall they were ready, ready for LE's knock on the door. Well, he was. She hid.
Weird reaction for someone who claims not to know why the police were there.
But then, we know she knew.
They planned to ride it out.

The Sept 2024 habeas petition (civil case) linked above is classic MT -- it's packed full of lies, IMO.
To be fair, I couldn't get past the first paragraph where she describes what a great mother she is, and how she first met Fotis in Florida in April 2016 at the Ski Club when Fotis was with his girlfriend, Elena G....
The content here wasn't allowed at Trial, and not allowed in her appeal.
The content had been rejected until 8/8/25 when the Court recognized that MT/petitioner had removed the noncognizable Fifth Amendment allegations from count one, in accordance with the court’s April 10, 2025 ruling.
Although the petitioner appears to have reinserted some of these allegations into the Facts and Procedural History section of the revised petition, the relevance of these reinserted allegations remains subject to determination at trial. Thus, in attempting to prove the Fifth Amendment violation alleged in Count one, the petitioner remains limited to the specifications alleged in paragraph 115 (A) - (C) and whatever evidence that proof necessarily entails.
In other words, the Jan 2026 trial is a civil court matter re. violation of her Fifth Amendment rights. Per the 8/8/25 Order cited above, MT reinserted allegations of questionable relevance and in violation but will be limited at trial to the specifications alleged in the defined paragraph, and whatever evidence that proof necessarily entails.
I’m with you-I think that the way he planned it, was designed to keep either MT or KM from ratting on him. And maybe the two co-conspiritors knew exactly what would happen if they did.
Exactly-there is so much that ought to have been true, in order for her narrative to also be true. The over-the-top hatred for Jennifer, the lack of obvious hatred for Dulos among those things that still don’t make sense.

MT's "I was duped by FD & Bowman" narrative is mind blowing. If she was "duped" by FD, the minute she knew he was a suspect in the murder of his soon-to-be ex wife, she would have swiftly moved her young daughter and herself out of harms way of a murderer, drove directly to the police station herself to hand over her phone and give her truthful recollection of the day prior/day of/day after the murder. Instead, she defended Fotis, lied over and over and over again, and didn't she go to a hair salon the day after JD was murdered? Because Bowman thought she was innocent, he tried to counsel her to tell the truth. He was looking out for her best interest and advising an innocent person to share her truthful story. WoW. It never ends with this inmate (and family). Still spending honest taxpayers funds to defend her delusions.

It's a shame MT couldn't see what we saw, and also what the jurors saw from her police interviews! MT spent the majority of her time with LE baiting her hook and fishing for what info LE might share with her-- so she could feed this back to Fd at her first opportunity! What a FIDIOT. And this is what got her convicted and sent to prison! No, MT-- you were not the smartest person in the room.
