Must be exhausting trying to save the inmate from herself.
Wasted breath.
She's not 14.

Their marriage and their financial situation.I've wondered how Dr. Carlos's present wife feels about his ongoing involvement with Michelle's situation, and how it affects their marriage. (I'm assuming he IS still married to someone who isn't Michi's mother)
And Carlos isn't a young man. I think he's in his late 70's. Would be a shame to spend his twilight years mentally & physically preoccupied & tethered to his incarcerated daughter's woes.
I agree with you. I honestly don't think this family knows how else to function than dysfunctionally. I think MT could benefit from a total separation from her family screaming in her ear "you are innocent...we are going to fight for you...blah blah blah and sit in the quiet of her cell reflecting on her past horrific decisions and owning them. That's adulting (she's 40+ years old, for crying out loud).
In the petition MT states FD hired Attorney Bowen and claims Bowen did not protect her from LE and LE interviews.I think @Tink56 took one for the team, and read the petition -- maybe they'll chime in here and confirm what MT alleged about Fotis hiring Bowman. But I absolutely agree about MT most likely rewriting history!
I don’t think anyone forced her to speak to them (the cops)-MT and clan are delusional if they think Bowman didn’t give her guidance about it. I watched John Kimball interrogate her-they had it figured out before they talked to her for the first time, and so did Bowman. They all knew she helped him, and everybody tried to give her a chance to save herself, by telling what she knew about FD’s activities. It was her choice alone to try to keep both herself and FD out of trouble-she really did think she was too smart for them. She should have just thought for a minute about how he was letting her talk to the police, while he refused. I guess she didn’t count on FD taking himself out, though, because once he was gone, her last chance to save herself was over. I wonder if she realized it at the time, or if she thought she’d be off the hook with him gone?In the petition MT states FD hired Attorney Bowen and claims Bowen did not protect her from LE and LE interviews.
This is followed by pages of "Background and Procedures" during MT's fictional and/or newly remembered memories. I did not go back and review the content.
This family and the court system needs to put this case in the closed file. Maybe if the end of the legal road is reached, MT can settle into her new reality and start helping others reach in their healthy life styles and teach them the behavior of winners. (snark intended...sorry)
FD's core value was winning....at all costs. If my memory serves me correctly, Jennifer noted that trait in her first divorce filing and request for protection. Tragically, the judge who initially heard that plea, and the rest of the legal system didn't/couldn't believe/help her.
I agree that there is no evidence that she is smart or clever…but I believe she thinks she is persuasive. And she certainly attempted to manipulate the detectives-like when she claimed, more than once, to be having sex in semi-unusual places, 2 times on the day Jennifer was murdered. I do think she was trying to refocus Det. Kimball on her in a sexual way, rather than on the murder, but it didn’t work.Honestly, I don't think we've seen any evidence that she's smart or clever, so it's doubtful the plan she hatched had any real analysis. She's survived by grifting & manipulating, which doesn't help when in a legal bind for murder. I don't think she thought out many of the possible scenarios, just simply focused on greed. I still wish Kent Mawhinney would sit down and answer some critical questions, but that wouldn't be in his best interest. Now, he's smart and quite clever and knows how to work the legal system.
Thank you for the alert and Cliffs Notes @LosAngeles …. you have graciously spared others by viewing that…... and just checking, I thought it meant ‘fully’ convinced of the convicted defendant’s guilt.Has anyone peeked at Michelle's website lately? I do every once in a Blue Moon. She's selling handmade slippers called "Fully" representing wrong"fully" convicted inmates. It's an interesting read. It's in perfect english, too. She was in the top tier of winners. If bored, check it out. Michelletroconis.com

zero comprehension that it’s not meant to be a fun summer camp experience. His daughter made the choice to commit the crime, so her current circumstances are of her own making, suck it up princess. Do the crime, do the time.
"...But, Carlos Troconis said, the problems facing the prison and other correctional facilities in the state need to be brought to light and resolved. "The showers back up which can cause fungal infections and the heat was very low in the winter," he said. "There are lockdowns for four or five days in a row. It creates isolation and can enhance depression."
He's not just concerned about his daughter, but every woman who is incarcerated at York, he said.
"I want to be an advocate for the prisons," Carlos Troconis said. "I want to humanize the prisons a bit." "
