MOO

AB must feel so duped, then angry to have to be called to a stand on this.

He really believed she wasn't involved and had information that would help the State.

After the first LE interview, she and her parents retained him. AFTER.

She has no case here. AB couldn't prevent her from lying or stop her from voluntarily speaking to police.

JMO

 

[Megnut]

AB: she was less clear about 80 MS.

That's putting it mildly.

JMO

 

[Megnut]

Why does the Defense attorney think LE would share what they knew with AB before any interviews of MT?

This is folly.

Listening to the Bowman testimony now and his initial assessment of MT. Love the comment he made that, "....sometimes you are right and sometimes you are wrong..." in your initial assessments!

Listening to Bowmans account of the initial contact with Fotis and MT is fascinating as I'd always wondered about the web of attorney contacts in this case. Fairfield Country is a very small universe and it seems that the attorneys involved were all speaking with each other. I do very much wonder why Attorney Riccio did not appear to take on Dulos and I wonder if the process of Dulos making his way to Pattis is ever clarified? I do also wonder by Attorney Riccio didn't take on MT but perhaps he had a conflict due to speaking with Dulos previously. Fascinating to see the role played by Attorney Rose here in finding attorneys as he was the Hartford attorney who was most recently part of the entire Family Court debacle with the Herman Report and the corrupt GAL Attorney Meehan and the 'theft' of the report by Dulos. Family Court Judge had dismissed Attorney Rose from her Court for his role in the entire mess and I will never in a million years understand WHY she chose to not refer him to the CT Bar for review and ditto for GAL Attorney Meehan? CT Judges so far as I can see rarely make referrals and so the behaviour of these imo quite corrupt attorneys never changes and frankly is never made public in a way to make clear to prospective clients (and their opponents) precisely who these attorneys are as professionals and their imo convenient grasp of the rules of professional conduct. Attorney Rose also was reprimanded on the record in Family Court for his role in facilitating the lying of Dulos on the financial disclosures as he had prepared the most recent disclosures that absolutely enraged the Family Court Judge as she knew the information to be false and the forms fabricated. AND YET, THE JUDGE DISMISSED ATTORNEY ROSE FROM HER COURT RATHER THAN REFERRING HIM TO THE CT BAR FOR FULL INVESTIGATION.

The Bowman testimony so far imo as it relates to MT is quite damning as it appears she tried from Day 1 to 'sell and sell hard' her own attorney on her innocence and used the timeline as part of her discussion with her attorney. I do wonder if at any point and with any of her attorneys do we see MT backing off of the timeline or her early claim to Bowman that Dulos had not murdered his wife? I'm fixated on this idea of the co conspirators with their 'pre baked' narrative and then selling this narrative to their respective attorneys. I do wonder if Atty Riccio saw through this pre baked narrative and perhaps had some undisclosed information from NCPD on the contents of the Dulos phone which had been seized and that is why he might not have taken on Dulos as a client? Still so many questions....back to watching.

All of those attorneys seemed to be heavily invested in helping Fotis, and MT by her association with Fotis. That sure is some “old boys” club. And yet, they all must have known that Fotis was not the one with money. So, what was the draw?

 

[Megnut]

LE was not going to grant full immunity without having a sense of what she knew.

They knew she was lying. They weren't about to give her full immunity without a SHOW, of SOMETHING.

[Megnut]

AB believed she was taking some truths.

AB thought it was still an upside for her to keep talking to LE. I think he felt that MT was getting closer to the truth.

LE was begging her to tell the truth. She budged some, but she was firm on the most critical. False alibi witness, not good.

 

[Jmoose]

Live again. Defense asking questions --

Did you stop the interview?

Did you ask MT why the trash stops weren't in the timeline?

Where are you finding the live feed?

 

[Megnut]

When confronted with the evidence that FD was NOT at 4 JC that morning, AB says she was quiet.

He felt she was resigned, knew she was getting in bigger trouble.

That, IMO @Jmoose ….. is one of the remaining $64,000 questions in this case. As is why nothing was ever done to sanction, reprimand, or even perhaps disbar the latter attorneys JS & AF that the convicted felon utilized. The attorneys that worked every potential angle under the sun in open court IMO to get that sealed confidential and somewhat questioned report into the public purview. SMH.

And lest one not forget the other attorney KM still in question for potential involvement in this case. IANAL. MOO

Michelle Troconis returns to court in effort to get a new trial

Michelle Troconis is slated to be in court Monday, arguing for her release from prison and a new trial. She filed a habeas petition back in 2024 following her conviction and evidence tampering charges related to the death and disappearance of Jennifer Farber-Dulos in May of 2019. Michelle...

AB had the timeline. He did not know LE had it.

 

[Megnut]

AB believed she could allay being charged as a coconspirator.

 

[Megnut]

Oh, my. Micro expressions from the inmate.

Subtle nods (of agreement) with the give girl discussions.

MT said that JFd had serious psychiatric issues, MT wanted to understand what that would mean since she'd have to live with that.

Hello, Motive.

JMO

 

[BJarv]

I wonder how she's doing in prison, I hope she's suffering. A new hairstyle won't help her.

SO AGREE.

The duplicity of MT is clear with hindsight but Atty Bowman was quite clear that took her at her word as to the timeline, her role and the role of Dulos. I think the Atty Bowman comments today about how the timeline was prepared WITH Dulos is fascinating as he now clearly is differentiating I think the value of the MT testimony based on the timeline prepared with Dulos vs had MT prepared a timeline on her own or even her saying in her conversations with her attorney that Dulos pressured her to create a timeline for them both. MT presented to Atty Bowman a very specific timeline that he had zero reason not to believe we learned via the trial that CSP and NCPD spent many months working to pull apart the timeline for purposes of verification.

Its baffling though that even with MT going to Barracks for processing and Collangelo speaking with Bowman, that Bowman it appears did not have the arrest affidavit for MT (or even FD it seems).

We've talked many times over the years about this issue of MT publicly believing Dulos and his innocent (to her attorney and the police - I question whether she or Mama Troconis had other thoughts and its why I would love to see Mama Troconis on the stand (not that I think she would tell the truth, but it would be interesting to hear what she might say) and choosing to never speak against him or even question him as something that has been a point of great debate. I do wonder how much of this strategy came from Mawhinney who knew perhaps how hard it might be for CSP to discredit the mutually prepared timeline based on his experience as a trial lawyer in CT? I also wonder at what point Pattis and Smith realized that the prepared timeline would never stand up at trial and I do wonder if they confronted Dulos? Was it when the footage of the truck on the Merritt was found or the bus cam footage from New Cannan or the Ring footage from JF neighbors on Welles?

 

[Megnut]

MT continued to insist that JFd wasn't dead, she'd done it before.

This is really just exposing the conspiracy IMO.

 

[BJarv]

AB had the timeline. He did not know LE had it.

I thought he said that LE did get a timeline (done in FD handwriting iirc) during the house search - it was a timing issue though about when Bowman knew that LE had the timeline?

Bowman was quite clear about priority to TELL THE TRUTH.

 

[Megnut]

AB believed that MT could make a case for FD controlling her...

 

[Megnut]

I thought he said that LE did get a timeline (done in FD handwriting iirc) during the house search?

Yes, but AB didn't (yet) know they had a copy.

 

[BJarv]

Yes, but AB didn't (yet) know they had a copy.

Yes, it seems like a timing issue and that he eventually realized they got the tossed timelines from trash.

 

[Megnut]

Third interview, MT was going to tell LE that FD wasn't home that morning. It came up begrudgingly in the archive inevitably, but should like AB thought she was ready to be forthcoming.
