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
So with you on this POV about commentary from the bench by Judges! CT Judges seem to side more with the criminals and not care at all that I can see about Victims. Judge Randolph was imo terrible in this regard and was almost as bad as the Judge in the KM spousal sexual assault case.
Its impossible to do justice to the institutionalized insanity of the entire CT Judiciary or how the State of CT evolved to the point where convicted and accused pending trial folks actually have more rights than in many other states to the point where I now kinda believe that other than actually sitting in a cell at York Prison, the Duchess of York actually has more rights than I do! She has full eduction, mental health support, telecommunication access, internet via ipad, gym, TV and all meals provided!
My feeble brain still cannot achieve any understanding as to how MT was able to remain out of jail for nearly 5 years pending trial when accused of Conspiracy Murder. You know the situation is bad when you explain the basics of the charges against MT to a Judge in CA and they actually ask you to repeat the facts of the case twice! MT was traveling and skiing year round pending her trial for Conspiracy Murder. Stunning stuff imo brought to you by the State of Corrupticut. All wrong imo. My guess is had MT spent her time pending trial in Prison or even Jail that much more information might have been forthcoming from MT against FD and KM. Its easy to thing 'all is well' when you can fly to Miami or hit the slopes pending trial. I think staring at 4 walls and a smelly toilet might have focused the thoughts of even the most self absorbed narc such as Michelle Troconis.
CT started to morph as it relates to the rights and treatment of criminals (can't call them that I guess but I will anyway....) many years ago and its hard to pinpoint the exact time nearly 20 years ago that the insanity started and spread but having one of the most prominent and liberal law schools in the country in the State no doubt furthered the spread of the toxic contagion imo until the views were widely held in Hartford and are now imo institutionalized in the Judiciary. CT imo works super hard to keep criminals out of jail and court and if by some miracle a conviction does occur then the prison reform early release guidelines have the miscreants serving less than 50% of their sentence.
I actually think Judge Randolph showed the world all they needed to know about the lunacy present in CT Courts when he allowed Michelle Troconis and Jon Schoenhorn to create the 'bible rivival' testimony farce at sentencing from people that knew Michelle Troconis only after her arrest and he still thought there was some fundamental value present in her as a human being such that she deserved a very light sentence imo. Did Judge Randolph exhibit any respect for the true victims of the crime at sentencing? IMO no as he allowed a totally disrespectful display to happen and last forever! He could have said that paper summaries were allowed only rather than the farce and drama that he allowed.
On what planet do the rights of the CONVICTED trump the rights of the victims? Only in CT and courtesy of Judge Randolph! Instead of seeing the worthless and frankly valueless parasitic life led by Michelle Troconis along with her never taking any accountability for anything ever in her life, Judge Randolph imo stupidly thought she deserved to get out in 14 years or so rather than sentencing her to the maximum possible which imo could have easily been justified in her case. Judge Randolph inexplicably saw value in MT who imo by virtue of the evidence at trial showed her as a valueless member of society and he has no doubt done the same drill with other convicted felons many times before on rinse and repeat. Judge Randolph saw much more evidence than the public ever did and he still acted as he did. Welcome to justice CT style folks.....its a total circus and imo has little to nothing to do with justice and oftentimes even less to do with the truth or even protecting the rights of victims.
The people advocating this soft on crime POV then created a bail system that provides zero disincentive to committing crimes and doesn't keep perps in jail pending trial except in truly horrific cases. But these folks then continued on with the idea that convicted individuals are also deserving of enrichment in prison, learning opportunities and full mental health support as well as very early release (think the stat is that most convicted folks serve no more than 50% of their sentence under the farcical rules in place that allow for their early release). There was really no need imo to formally '
' the police in CT as the Judiciary simply made it impossible for them to effectively do their jobs or testify to put perps in prison and one of the favorite tools used are arrest warrants. In what world did it make sense to have a 32 page (iirc) arrest document complete with pictures and time stamps in order to simply arrest MT and FD? Preparing those super long arrest documents took alot of time and imo simply gave the perps more time to burn and dispose of evidence etc. We all saw the impact of this delay in the evidence that was presented at trial. Was there no way given all the evidence to perhaps do a shorter document and scoop up the perps quickly to make it impossible for them to flee and not destroy more evidence and wash vehicles etc.? Guess not. It was a good thing MT and FD didn't flee but it wouldn't be the first time perps with money fled CT and CT police had to go to great lengths to return the perps. But, it was the Judge Randolph ruling on tossing MT cell phone due to lack of exigent circumstances and shortcoming in the arrest affidavit that had me expecting the worst for the poor victims ever seeing justice for their beloved mother.
Michelle spent 1 day in jail iirc and spent zero time in prison prior to her trial AND her dirtbag attorney had the audacity to then ask for bail pending appeal of her conviction. EVEN Judge Randolph said "Nope" to this insanity but I did sense a tiny bit of hesitation in his voice as he seemed to be considering it but EVEN he finally did see it as a bridge too far and denied the request. On what planet can you be convicted of 6 charges including Conspiracy Murder and you and your attorney think the right move is to request bail pending appeal? Welcome to CT folks! Michelle looked mighty miffed and started to cry when she realised she wouldn't be back on the slopes in time for the first CO snow in 2024!
As personal punishment, I watch most of the congressional hearings for Federal Judicial appointments. They oftentimes are better than the best of SNL imo. One of the more stunning hearings I can recall, where I was actually worried that there might be the need for ambulance transport of a few senators following cardiac events during the hearing, happened during COVID. IIRC the Nominee was a low level Professor at Quinnipiac Law School in CT by way of Yale Law School iirc. Anyway, this person actually wrote a letter to Gov. Ned Lamont (whose mental competency in recent years imo is on par with current sitting US President and has never expressed much interest or understanding imo of the CT Judiciary as he doesn't seem to understand much about it or even acknowledge that crime is actually up in CT big time as seen in the 'revised' FBI crime stats) demanding the release of all but the most heinous prisoners from all of the CT Prisons as they weren't safe in jail/prison due to COVID. In this persons letter it was fascinating to see not one mention that I can recall about the impact of emptying the jails/prisons on the broader population, who were also in lockdown at the time and how due to the job situation during COVID there was most likely no viable opportunities for the released felons to support themselves except by doing things that aren't in the best interests of the rest of CT citizens. It was hilarious to watch this person being interviewed and to see her not actually able to understand why emptying the prisons/jails was simply a bad idea, to say nothing of potentially dangerous for the broader population. The pushback from some (not all) of the Senators was stunning to watch but the low level professor simply seemed baffled why there was no appreciation for her plan to clear the prisons/jails. This imo nimrod of a Professor did get her appointment iirc.
It just never ends and being a sanctuary state is just the cherry on the top of the sundae. The sorry citizens of CT have some of the highest auto insurance premiums due to the prevalence of uninsured and unlicensed drivers along with dangerous and unpatrolled roads and highways because law enforcement just seems to have given up.
MOO
