Thanks for putting these details here about PG and his working with the police for so long as I think the history of PG working with police and being an actual cooperator with the State is super important and highly relevant to this farce of a discussion of MT as a potential 'cooperator'. I really wish that Atty Colangelo had said more about the PG situation in his testimony. Overall I was hugely disappointed in the Colangelo testimony and IDK why he was not crystal clear about the idea that MT was not a candidate for cooperation agreement following her lies on top of lies. I hope that if we hear from Det. Kimball that he puts a HUGE PIN into the resources devoted to proving out the MT many lies and that he also explains her wasting police resources with her trips into the woods to 'look for Jennifer'.
I simply am baffled by MT attorneys and the Clown show attorney Fitzgerald believing that MT would have been a viable candidate for a cooperation agreement after it was clear she was lying and kept reading off the alibi script. Even if she had gotten an agreement at any point, after the investigation proved out the details of Dulos and Troconis lies then any agreement would have been voided by the many MT lies. To me, the issue here is that MT knew precisely what she was saying and that what she was saying was untrue and absolutely fabricated to hinder and deceive police and prosecutors (I don't believe the language issue was significant enough to preclude her understanding) and that her level of involvement in all that happened absolutely precluded her ever being able to tell the truth. There was NO MYSTERY why she was unable to testify under oath at her trial. It enraged me that Judge Randolph gave her the ability to plea on her own behalf after not choosing to testify under oath as this process simply gave her yet another platform for her pathological imo lying to protect herself as her default reaction to being under attack. I am reminded by the words of the MT daughter at the impact statement hearing about her mother and I do think that the MT daughter cared more about her mother than her mother EVER CARED ABOUT HER. I hope this fact is not lost ever as the MT attorneys had the absolute audacity to put forward the LIE yet again that MT was threatened with never seeing her daughter again. This LIE was made plain in the hearing which was good but what wasnt good was that imo the entire issue of MT uprooting her young daughter from Miami to move to CT to live with a man who had lied about the status of his divorce not just once but persistently but also lied about his wealth, was not made a clear. MT knew the divorce was not 'amicable' as it became clear quickly that it wasn't, but yet she stayed and yet she herself visited the probate court to find out details of the Farber wealth and any possible provisions for the 5 Dulos children as her great greed and that of her co conspirator Dulos was imo crystal clear.
I wish we could see the report from the forensic psychologist hired by Bowman! I think Bowman hiring this professional to try and answer his many questions about MT made alot of sense and I believe it shows him being concerned about MT in general and her basic capacity to tell the truth.
The idea that Bowman can effectively be criticized and potentially discredited by an unknown local attorney simply because he believed his client and advocated on her behalf is something about this entire habeas action process that I do not understand. Bowman believed his client (clearly an error on his part but police believed MT for a time too (as did Colangelo) until it was clear she was lying and then lying about prior lies!
A cooperation agreement is not a forgone conclusion and it makes me uncomfortable to see this assumption be the default of the MT legal team and Atty Fitzpatrick. MT legal team is almost making the assumption that MT DESERVED a cooperation agreement! I find this simply mind blowing and was glad to see Colangelo put a pin into this idea. Colangelo saw through MT quickly and charged accordingly as Bowman reminded everyone today that there were THREE arrest affidavits during the period of time he was MT Counsel.
If MT is a master manipulator and liar (I happen to believe she is world class in this regard but in no way as smart as she believes herself to be) then I believe that she would have done the same routine to any other attorney (not just Bowman) and I very much question if any of the Fitzgerald commentary with criticism of Bowman would have played out had Fitzgerald (rather than Bowman) been the attorney of MT at the time!? I don't think Fitzgerald would have made a proffer (verbal or otherwise) any differently than what Bowman represented to Collangelo and I do believe that had Fitzgerald pushed hard for a cooperation agreement that he would have been rebuffed by Collangelo as what police wanted at the time was the body of JF and MT didn't seem inclined to produce this information. All bets were off after the Dulos suicide and Colangelo was clear about this issue as was Bowman.
I think another reason I'm struggling with this current farce is that MT chose to not follow the advice of Bowman and she did not tell the truth. Further, she made no later claims as to being victim of coercive control to explain her lies and ongoing support of Dulos.
I do wish that the suppression ruling had been appealed by the State as I believe Judge Randolph did not fully understand the exigent circumstances present at the time (due to his bias against CSP) and I do wish that those hearings had been made public or made transcripts fully available to the public as I don't think they were. This lack of transparency around this important issue imo was huge fault of not only Judge Randolph but the State Prosecutor. Schoenhorn also was effectively allowed to bully Det. Kimball for over 2 years with no pushback or surrport from Judge Randolph as it was clear imo that Judge Randolph was no fan of the CSP and this tainted the trial for me in a major way and also had me questioning Judge Randolph on the topic of bias. The final sentencing decision by Judge Randolph with the concurrent ruling confirmed his bias as well imo and this was further confirmed by his allowing the impact statement circus that he did as I believe he sadly believed the BS that was spewed that day from the church folks from the church were MT and her mother went briefly to court support. Its a miracle that 14.5 years sentence even happened and so to see this convicted felon not appreciating her 'gift' of a sentence is simply imo another example of her entitlement and absolute disconnection from reality.
