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

Bowman sent to her to neuropsychologist for evaluation!

I spit out my coffee lol

 

[Eli9]

Well we just had a fascinating back and forth about when Bowman received discovery materials that went absolutely nowhere.

 

[Megnut]

Did it truly never occur to AB that MT wasn't showing some blind devotion to FD but that she was actively protecting the conspiracy?

It's almost like he had tunnel vision -- his own internal bias -- that she must have been so bound to FD she couldn't be persuaded to be forthcoming, but she wasn't protecting FD at all. She was protecting her participation. Period. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

[BJarv]

Bowman hired Dan Markle as a Private Investigator and had known him for 10 years.

 

[Eli9]

Oh trust me she has deficits.

 

[BJarv]

See whether she had any cognitive or other deficits to account for definitive statements about FD on 5/24 - was the charge to the neuropsychologist. Too bad were aren't hearing from the woman who iirc is a psychologist that ran the horse farm for troubled children and where MT went as a teen.

 

[BJarv]

Bowman has been excused. Atty Colangelo to take the stand next.

 

[BJarv]

Atty Colangelo arrives wearing his gray suit! Taking oath. Atty Brown to start questioning.

 

[Baciagalupo]

Thank you for your work BJarv.

Is the Defense making ANY inroads?

All I'm seeing is confirmation that she lied during the interviews. And that AB was effective at representing her but she was ineffective at listening to his advice.

He was not and did not encourage her to lie in that interview so I'm just not seeing what the Defense is trying to leverage here. Well, besides desperation.

I do wonder if they are going after the issue of translator being present every step of the way? If so, that seems silly given that there is no translator now. No smoking gun yet imo.

 

[Jmoose]

Medication? Psychopathy? Persistent delusion? Happy to be out of prison for a day?

She thinks she’s getting out of prison soon, that’s why she’s happy

What I find striking is that Bowman believed she was telling the truth, until it was clear she wasn't. He was following textbook defense practice and then it seemed that it all became impossible due to her choice to lie in the interviews. He was also in a tough spot as his longstanding relationship with Colangelo was one of mutual respect and professionalism and so it reflected on him that MT was playing games and playing the process for being fools imo. Very tough spot that Bowman was in. I wish we had learned that he terminated her but perhaps its enough to know that the Troconis crew hired the dog catcher attorney, who I'm sure had no such qualms about lying under oath imo.

The judge, in my opinion, is leaning heavily towards MT’s team, as far as objections go.

Absolutely agree! He even cut off both Bowman and States Atty a couple of times. Can't get hopes up much on any of this sadly as this is Corrupticut and the land of bail reform and where its a good day for justice if violent felons serve 50% of their sentence! its a very bad situation imo in CT and my guess is that might just be why MT and her family have goofy grins pasted on their pasty faces!

 

[Megnut]

All these seasoned individuals were all confused by MT's apparent devotion to FD.

But that is the red herring here. She devoted to no one! She demands devotion, not the other way around!

IMO they were all banging their heads together, for it appeared that MT could divorce herself of involvement by offering up FD. And yet she wouldn't. Ergo, the question -- what's wrong with her, that she's not "getting" it. To avoid arrest, it was in her best interest (according to all present) to urb his hide to save her tail.

Only one conclusion to be drawn IMO -- MT was deeply involved and did not know how to fill in LE blanks in a way that didn't implicate herself, and aware of that, she could only re-iterate.

She couldn't weave a lie in which FD was responsible and she was not involved. And... I'm not sure it's ever dawned on her that her beloved FD did that on purpose so that she could never leave him holding the bag.

If she had ANY wits about herself, she Sofia have said the plan was to abduction JFd, shake her up, and scare her into divorcing on FD's terms, claim she was party to that but never to murder and that the murder and everything after was FD's doing. It wouldn't hold up but it would make more sense than she had no idea.

The State did a great job at trial, even without her phone, establishing how out of character it would have been for jealous, distructful, with-reason-to-distrust MT would have been if she awoke to find FD not at home at 5am in the morning...

Nope. Instead they had leftover Greek salad and lunched it up like trustful lovers. No 'where were you?', no "who were you with?"

And if FD wasn't with JFd that morning and JFd wasn't murdered, what was MT hiding from when LE arrived at 4 JC that evening? What, she had a premonition it was going to be about something from which she'd want to remove herself?

[acutename]

people question the role of defense attys but I think that B did everything he could for MT. Would she have done better not talking at all to prosecutors if they all knew FD was going to kill himself? Not MT's atty's fault that FD was on home stay with an ankle monitor. : ( Maybe he could have used some psych defense if he got a neuro report but even that was not an option. I really see him trying all options for her and his reward? She sues him. thankless. IMO.

 

[Megnut]

I find this whole thing RICH ( preposterous) --

AB counseled her to speak to LE if she was going to be truthful or not speak to LE otherwise.

That SHE chose to ignore him and lie to LE, that's a matter of strategy. She picked a poor one.

I don't see how you get a second trial because you regret your chosen strategy.

And this hearing, they're flailing. Trying so hard to make her interviews AB's fault when clearly he advised her not to do what she chose ultimately to do.

Is there a feed where I can play back testimony?
