GUILTY CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, deceased/not found, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #71

[BJarv]

I think I recall, according to the arrest affidavit, Kent’s cellphone polled the cell tower that services the Dulos residence on 5.23.2019 around 5 p.m. This is approx. the time FD left the party to purchase more meat at Stop in Shop in Simsbury. Kent’s phone polled again on 5.24.2019 around 7 a.m. I think we all remember his response was it doesn’t ever remember any conversations with Fotis in or around the disappearance of his wife. It is a bit shocking, that this day in age, they had no concern of CCTV's filming them out and about or mobile phone tracking, which is so common now. My LAPD brother in law says we are filmed on average 17 times a day just running errands. And thank goodness they weren't very bright criminals. At least one of them is incarcerated. Where is Jennifer, Kent? Where is Jennifer, Michelle?

Thanks for this timeline refresher as its certainly been awhile on the KM timeline. I wish we had more info and a scheduled trial date. I keep reading others speculation that the State is waiting for the MT appeal and habeas action to be resolved before proceeding with KM trial. I'm not sure about this speculation as I'm not an atty and I'm also not sure that Horn and MT would have had access to any of the KM related evidence collected by CSP either? From what I understand, the MT appeal itself could take many years and I have no sense how long the habeas action will take but given all the issues presented by MT, I can't see it being heard anytime soon given that the open/shut case of contempt action has made zero progress in idk 6 months+ and its not even clear the issue of discovery in that matter has made any progress either? Perhaps the issue with its resolution is the status of the discredited report and not wanting it to be public which is what MT and Horn wanted all along? IDK but it would be enraging imo if an illegal act of MT to not only have the report to which she wasn't entitled (initially at the time she discussed it during the LE interviews she had no standing that I can see to legally have access to the report imo) and then display it at trial resulted in what she wanted all along. It really does bother me that the State or any Judges involved in the trial did anything to punish either MT or her attorneys for her access to the discredited report to which she wasn't entitled as it seems imo that she is guilty of contempt or certainly misuse of a sealed document many times before she actually displayed the report on her computer screen at trial? So frustrating to see no consequences imposed by the State or Judges against MT on her handling of the discredited report. I guess we will just have to wait and see but frankly it was discouraging to see this MT contempt matter offloaded to a very junior member of the staff and then see this attorney and Judge just kicking the case down the road to nowhere. We shall see....

Its clear that the CSP investigation of the murder was extensive as well as multidimensional and that one a small fraction was shown at the MT trial. I do wish there was an answer on the 'why the delay' question. But, I would think that at a certain point KM would petition for trial and I'm not understanding why this hasn't yet happened that the public is aware of. It does seem that looking at the history that there might have been a period of either seeking a deal or some kind of cooperation agreement but given that the MT trial proceeded without any direct testimony from KM himself, my guess is that this ship has sailed for KM and he will at some point be tried.

MOO

Just one more perfect example of the Troconis mindset! And PG who cooperated with LE for years, signed an immunity agreement two weeks before he testified at trial, yet he's somehow a key party in this horrific crime against a woman he respected and still mourns. What they really hate is Jennifer's children publicly thanking PG and calling him brave (for going against their father).

Yes, and the Troconis crew and Horn continue to be actively pursing PG on social media along with their online posse who pepper comments across the social media platforms.

I do wonder when or if the Troconis crew will ever stop on the issue of PG? Or, will PG and his attorney ever step up to legally pursue MT and Troconis crew for defamation/slander as frankly I think this is what they have now been doing for years?

I think it is possible that PG’s lawyer has done something on his behalf-looks like that creepy little artist has stopped referring to him as the real killer.

 

[Seattle1]

In January 2019, I learned about a 16 year old girl who went missing from Moreno Valley, CA. She was last seen talking talking to a classmate at a park located at the end of the road from her residence, and her body has never been recovered.

Her classmate was later arrested and charged with murdering and disappearing this girl. He was finally sentenced on Friday, and now age 23, he will never leave prison.

Right or wrong, it was very satisfying to read Judge Hollenhorst say to the killer what I also felt about him! I also think it helps the family of the victim to hear this from somebody who saw and heard more evidence than they had access to. I'll never understand why CT believes the bench to be "perpetual neutral," and/or above this. JMO

“There are many questions left unanswered, none more than where is Aranda?” Hollenhorst told Shover, whose face barely betrayed emotion during the sentencing hearing at the Riverside County Hall of Justice.

“Mr. Shover, from what I can tell about you, it appears that you are not capable of feeling remorse, so I do not intend to lecture you on how devastating your actions were in this case. However, there is no question in this court’s mind that you are the face of pure evil,” Hollenhorst said.

Off topic…yet, I find this so interesting (see below).
So, how is MT ever going to pay this debt when she's released at 64 years of age?
It appears she has no personal assets (qualifies for a public defender), has no profession and no husband with assets.​

Prisoners in Connecticut are required to pay for their incarceration under state law. The cost of incarceration in Connecticut is $249 per day, or $90,885 per year. The state can claim up to 50% of the cost of incarceration, or the full amount, whichever is less.

Inmates are also responsible for paying for certain services and programs, including: sick calls, dental procedures, eyeglasses, educational programs, and lab tests to detect illegal drugs.

The state can also claim a portion of any lawsuit proceeds, inheritance, or pension benefits that an inmate receives within 20 years of their release from prison.

Don’t be surprised if it’s still not resolved by the 13th, either.

 

[Seattle1]

I think I'd like to see MT go to trial on the contempt charge and let the State expose her for the fraud that she is.

There was no reason whatsoever for MT to be switching her personal computer screen back and forth during her live trial on Feb 15 if not but to intentionally display the sealed Herman report that she was never supposed to have. This was 100% on MT, no interpreter required. JMO

TROCONIS TRIAL: Still no resolution in contempt of court charge; attorneys working toward disposition

Troconis pleaded not guilty to the charge back in July.

Attorney Moran, Troconis, and her attorney, Robert Frost talked about the matter in a Stamford court on Monday. The parties involved agreed to reassess in court on November 13th.

“That will be working toward a disposition in this case. And if not, we’ll be able to schedule it either for a hearing or for a trial possibly at that point,” Moran said.

I completely agree with you. This activity needs to see the light of day. She is so bold that she should not be too upset to publicly address this in open court. I mean, she shouldn’t be ashamed, right?

I agree, yet, I sure would like a resolution on KM. Dismiss or schedule a trial date. I'm guessing that the state just doesn't have enough evidence to move forward, so at what point do they decide to just dismiss it? It'll be 5 years in January 2025 since he was arrested (on this case). Where is Jennifer?

Fortunately, there is no statute of limitations on murder. As far as KM is concerned, he's on pretrial bail release, and signed off on no speedy trial.

IMO, KM is as good as imprisoned with no job, and tethered by an ankle monitor where every day is an opportunity for Jennifer's remains to be recovered. Also, recovering Jennifer's remains at a location investigators can place KM at gets them closer to a conviction.

IMO, the state doesn't think they have enough evidence to convict KM-- only reasonable explanation why they've not proceeded to trial. JMO

I believe this re: not enough evidence, too. But I struggle with KM’s decision to waive his right to a speedy trial, even though there may not be evidence to convict…I wonder if he decided to waive it because he didn’t want to roll the dice and go to trial right away in case the jury might want to convict him without a mountain of evidence. A lack of substantial evidence has to be the only reason he hasn’t been tried yet, though. I used to think they (State of CT) were hoping for KM to cooperate, but that notion disappeared when MT was convicted.

Seems to me KM made all his decisions when Fd was still alive-- including waving his right to speedy trial. KM, arrested around Jan 6, 2020, never had any money or power to call any shots here to protect himself. His co- defendants were out hustling and planning their next moves while KM was locked up without two nickels to rub together, let alone come up with $2M bail money!

I'm actually surprised Team Troconis hasn't tried blaming KM-- the same as PG. Especially once the State rested its case, and they knew KM was not going to testify. JMO

I don't know that FD was any kind of a mastermind but perhaps he bought himself some in-house "insurance" -- pulling both KM and MT in deeply so that none could incriminate one without self-incrimination.

Perhaps there are secrets so bad one vows to and maintains them to the grave.

Where is Jennifer indeed?

I thought KM’s waiving of his right to a speedy trial happened after Dulos died, but I’ll have to research (not that it much matters, when he did it, but you have me curious now).
Interesting question re: blaming KM. Could be they don’t want to point their fingers at him, because he may have the information that keeps her locked up. And in addition, I think that the plan that they all had, was to make it look like PG was the perpetrator all along, if the plan went sideways, and somebody saw something. I am firm in my belief that it was supposed to look like PG was the one who did it. PG would never have allowed Dulos to take his truck to New Canaan, if he knew Dulos was going to kill Jennifer. Especially after Dulos gave himself the same haircut as PG. And PG surely would have detailed his own truck, instead of trusting Dulos to do it-and he would have gotten rid of those seats immediately. Besides-why would Dulos need to use Troconis to help him clean up everything, if he could simply have utilized the assistance of PG? I actually think those jurors might have asked themselves those same questions, and turned it against MT & crew for helping to attempt to frame PG. I can only imagine how bad this would have gotten, if the State of CT could have tried Dulos. There is no doubt that this would have been a fully engaged attempt to blame PG.

 

[LosAngeles]

Don’t be surprised if it’s still not resolved by the 13th, either.

I wonder if they are trying to come to some solution before a potential trial because they are worried about exposing the gravity of the incompetence and corruption of the GAL system in the state of Connecticut? I think it’s already been exposed (at lease, for certain on web sleuths). In summary: Michael Meehan was not even eligible to be appointed as a GAL the entire time he was appointed to the Dulos case until two weeks prior to Jennifer’s death (he was retroactively reinstated, but represented himself as a GAL for 4 years+ while knowingly ineligible).

Jennifer filed a motion to remove him from the case because it was discovered that he was conspiring on the use of the custody evaluation. He swiftly reapplied to reinstate his GAL status because he knew he wasn’t eligible and this motion would highlight his 4+ years of ineligibility status and who knows what? Guess What? The committee approved it pronto. I speculate he was eager to reinstate at that time to help him remove Jennifer’s motion of removal. The timing was too coincidental.

Pretty sure it has been actually proven that Stephen Herman was a hired gun psychologist, but I could be wrong. The GAL committee were, at the time and hopefully no longer, a group of extremely poor decision makers and not focused at all on the horrific consequences of their quorum votes,

Early on, maybe 2019 or early 2020, I read most of the minutes of the GAL committee and saw that not one complaint elevated to a probable cause review, therefore, frankly, just dismissed. I’m speculating that Jennifer’s would, sadly, have been in that category.

I don’t think it has yet been proved that Dr Herman was a hired gun, but it’s been strongly implied, and let’s face it, absolutely in character for Fotis Dulos to use Jennifer’s money to pay for that “psych report” to say what it did. I think you may be right about the court’s desire to keep this chicanery hidden. Otherwise I imagine it could open up a whole host of issues for the family court in lots of other cases-I’ll just bet they don’t want all of that to see the light of day.

Seems to me, in essence he was. Although the (Herman) report was Court Ordered, similar to the GAL and/or Attorneys appointed for the minors, the cost will be passed on to the divorcing parents. IMO, such experts are similar to political appointees -- their reports become the same format, wash, rinse, repeat, and have a bias before the report written. Herman showed his biased colors when he could not stand up to cross examination under oath!

If anything, I hope the heavy attention of Jennifer's case helped to shine much needed light on the corruption which was introduced in 2014...

The Guardian ad Litem system in Connecticut has faced public reprise for its lack of accountability, abuses of power, and the high fees incurred by Guardians. Many parents reported being financially destitute and even bankrupted by excessive fees because in the former system in CT, Guardians are billed by the hour with no cap on fees. The parents are billed directly for the fees, and the Judges serve as the collection agency and can throw a parent in jail if unable to pay.

“We have been harmed and taken advantage of by attorneys for minor children and guardian ad litems who enjoy immunity, are deemed infallible, and who have played God, judge and jury with our families and our children, while trampling our basic rights to due process, our civil rights, and our rights to be parents for our children,” the Connecticut Coalition for Family Court Reform said in public hearing testimony in March 2014.

ETA: No surprise, in CT, it's follow the money bias:

In 2010, numerous Connecticut state agencies, including the Judicial Branch, signed onto a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to “continue to actively participate in efforts that further the objectives of the John S. Martinez Fatherhood Initiative of Connecticut [$5M grant from 2009], both within our respective agencies and as interagency partners,” according to the MOU. The MOU also involved actively seeking funding to promote the initiative.

The MOU encompasses a wide swath of Connecticut’s social agencies and their activities, including workforce training through the Department of Labor, assistance to incarcerated fathers through the Department of Corrections, education curricula through the State Department of Education, and to “provide Magistrate Court services for non-custodial parents, especially fathers, as it relates to access via the long established Federal Grant collaboration with the Department of Social Services,” among many other things.

So, there is clearly federal funding for Connecticut agencies tied to the fatherhood initiative, and the mothers who were in the family court system at the time of the MOU say they saw a dramatic shift in the years following: “It’s now become a bias and sexual discrimination problem,” one of the mothers said.
