MT spends her days trying to be a "life coach" to other inmates??!!

Oh, she speaks fluent english now? Unbelievable.

Sick and twisted, isn’t it?

 

[Megnut]

Sick and twisted, isn’t it?

What's her message? "When given the opportunity in life to be truthful, lie"?

 

[LosAngeles]

The definition of a Life Coach:

Life coaches provide accountability, guidance, and a structured approach to achieving personal growth and professional goals. While life coaching isn't a substitute for therapy, it can help individuals overcome challenges, build self-confidence, strengthen relationships, and achieve greater fulfillment.

I hope someone in charge is rethinking this assignment. I honestly can't even think of an alternative prison job for her. Maybe how to stoke a fire? IDK.

Inadvertent means without knowledge or intent. Having a document displayed on your computer screen in a GIANT font is not at all without knowledge or intent. You have to “click” on the document, highlight the print and “click” on the upper arrow to increase the font size so everyone in the courtroom can read it. That takes knowledge and/or intent. Sounds like she’s represented by another bozo.

You could just zoom it, too?

MT's attorney, Crossland, was on WICC radio this a.m. (Melissa in the Morning). Going on about it being the fault of Law & Crime video-ing. One other thing he said--that it wasn't even MT's computer, but the same computer her attorney used, even to bringing it with them to examine witnesses on the stand. ??? That's what I understood him to say. Was there footage of Felsen having a separate computer? If not--is this a wow? That the report was on Felsen's computer--and she told the court she'd only see one or 2 pages of the report--the hard copy?

I don't think MT's attorney Crossland has his facts straight.

First, MT was out on bond during the entire trial and therefore had access to her own laptop unlike many defendants who are held in custody and do not have computers while they are in jail and are transported to Court daily for the trial. Second, I think Crossland is conflating that MT was barred from bringing her personal laptop to Court following the allegation she was displaying the report, and that is when I believe MT used the laptop of counsel but not before. MOO

Here's a video clip of the Judge banning MT from bringing her computer to court.

It may not have technically belonged to her, but that computer was on that table specifically for her use, and not for the use of her attorneys. She was pulling up other stuff on that computer, too, if I recall, but she didn’t deliberately turn the computer so that whatever was on it, could be caught by the videographer. And if it wasn’t there for her sole use, how did she know that the report would exist on that computer, and where to find it?

Or how to land on that particular page of a multi-page document?

We're supposed to believe she didn't know she couldn't have it? And that it inadvertently popped up in 70-point font on an interior page? Smacks of intention.

Her attorney blames the cameraman. Fair. There should be consequences for zooming on on defense table laptops, but that's a while separate issue than MT putting it on blast FOD THE GALLERY TO SEE.

Which is where CL saw it. Not on the internets later, in the courtroom in real time, and that's what she reported. MT showing a sealed document in large print. Had there been no live feed that day, CL would still have seen what MT was showing, there just wouldn't be such a rock solid record of it.

I hope she uses the wall picture she had taken of herself as art work behind her as she ‘preaches’ her gospel. The one with all the ‘hair’. I better stop here.

Attorneys Schoenhorn and Felsen's claims appear to negate Crossland's story. I trust the State will subpoena each of them to set the record straight!

Warrant: Video confirms sealed custody report was on Michelle Troconis’ laptop at trial

Troconis was officially charged with criminal contempt of court after the verdict came down for allegedly displaying a court-sealed custody report pertaining to the Dulos divorce case on her laptop.

connecticut.news12.com

March 7, 2024

Troconis was officially charged with criminal contempt of court after the verdict came down for allegedly displaying a court-sealed custody report pertaining to the Dulos divorce case on her laptop.

The report was part of the ongoing contentious custody battle between Jennifer and Fotis Dulos. It was completed in April 2019, but neither party was allowed to have a copy of it.

The guardian ad litem for the five Dulos children said each parent and their attorney had to come to his office to view the evaluation. The following month a family court judge sealed the report just before Jennifer Dulos vanished.

[...]

On May 26, 2021, Judge John Blawie ruled Troconis’ defense counsel could get a copy of the sealed report but with the restriction that it could not be shared. The State’s Attorney’s Office said Troconis was present for that proceeding.

Troconis knowingly violated a court order by “unlawfully possessing the document that she knew was sealed from herself and the public, uploading it to her computer and displaying it in open court in the direct line of sight of media personnel currently live streaming the proceedings,” the warrant stated.

During the trial, News 12 asked attorney Jon Schoenhorn if his client had the report, “to my knowledge she does not have that report. She did not get it from me. Let's put it that way.”

His co-counsel, attorney Audrey Felsen, sat beside Troconis at trial, including when the alleged document was on her screen. But Felsen told the court she didn’t know anything about it.

“I have not reviewed the report in its entirety. I’ve never seen it on a computer. I have reviewed the last four or five pages that I was provided, and they were in paper form. I can say that I have never shared the contents of the report with Ms. Troconis. I don't know in fact whether she was reading from a memo or what it was,” Felsen told the judge.

Melissa in the Morning: Michelle Troconis Back in Court

Thanks for the radio link.

Crossland is misleading the radio host and the public about how this contempt charge is just being punitive and any penalty would be served concurrent to her conspiracy to commit murder sentence, and a waste of the Court's time.

Again, Crossland is completely ignoring the fact that MT was on bond release and not yet sentenced when she was charged with contempt of court, a felony.

It's considered very serious when a defendant commits a crime while out on bond release, and Judge Randolph clearly warned MT that if she was convicted of this charge, her incarceration clock (tracking her time served) would be reset. I believe the warning was along the lines where MT would forfeit any "earned release credits" (ERC) for any accumulated days of "good conduct" -- days which are used as credits by the DOC in the calculation of her prison release date.

https://www.cga.ct.gov/2017/rpt/2017-R-0054.htm

ETA: add quote by the Court:

During Troconis' brief appearance Thursday, the judge noted that if Troconis were convicted of contempt, she no longer would get credit toward her eventual sentence for the charges she was convicted of at trial.

That radio host tends to be agreeable with her guests, I've noticed.

For a defense attorney, Felson is pretty unobservant (if I actually believe that she had no idea what was happening inches away from her!)

I won't be surprised if Crossland intends to throw Felson under the bus at trial! He's already alluded to her using MT's computer during the trial -- carrying up to the podium to read from. And we know MT is a pro at dogging other women. Besides, she's long seen herself as superior to Felson...

ETA: I recall that there were talks of settlement by the parties from the very first hearing! Translating to MT was just waiting for the right defense lawyer to embellish her pack of lies.

Yep-that is exactly what I saw

Yep-that is exactly what I saw

And wasn't her response to the court something about not giving it to her and only having seen four pages of it herself?

How'd she know it wasn't one of those four pages, as her quick answer rather implies?

Same attorneys who tried to slide it in with exhibits. And we're to believe they didn't know what MT was trying to do?

Hail Mary, throw the trial?

We can be sure it was carefully orchestrated whatever it was.

Yes @Megnut ….. and sad IMO how quickly it seems others forget. If not for the quick, alert, and responsive actions of IIRC prosecutor Michelle Manning and Judge Kevin Randolph that ‘sealed report’ or portions of it could have been entered on the record in the trial. And IIRC both of the convicted defendants defense counsel attempted to have the ‘sealed report’ or excerpts of it entered into evidence. One of them IIRC tried twice, once even after I believe the judge stated it was not to be entered. And it was Manning that caught that individual still trying to have it placed into evidence. IANAL. SMH.

It seemed irregular at the time. And IMO surprised that the CT courts and disciplinary counsel does not better examine that conduct by counsel in open court. IMO it appeared to border on being unethical. SMH. IANAL. MOO
