I think it was the trash odyssey.
These people barely know her-how does anyone thing they can attest to her “good works and character”?

Boy oh Boy. If she’s released to live anywhere near Farmington (Avon), that’s bold and courageous and quite frankly, irresponsible.
When does this state ever take responsibility? They basically murdered a mother of 5 children by not protecting her from her VIOLENT husband. They released her violent husband without validating the strength of his bail, so he could kill himself and they won’t prosecute KM because, I’m assuming, they don’t have enough evidence. Any now, considering releasing MT to live near Farmington at a church with folks that she probably manipulated into thinking she’s kind, faithful and honorable. I’m gobsmacked that this is even remotely possible.
Has to be, right? I guess a better question is, why should anyone believe these people, since everyone knows they don’t actually know her?
Maybe MT has a history of schtupping someone in that congregation-but the money has to be a factor, I think.
IDK. Judge Randolph actually seemed to be moved by the Church ladies. The whole thing to me at the sentencing hearing was a farce as EVERYTHING MT and her silly mother did with the church and the cookies seemed performative. It was all done for Judge Randolph imo and it was a grift and it might just have gotten her the light sentence she got. I simply have no faith left in any aspect of the CT Judiciary so I'm probably not the right person to ask.
For those that might have questions about how CT Judiciary handles severe DV cases, found this 'gem' today in my CT DV Newsfeed. This one is a married couple situation and the 'wife fully supports' the diversion program and the perps attorney claims 'this is a one time occurrence'. I leave you to read the article and draw your own conclusions:
Quotes from article:
DANBURY — A longtime city employee arrested in connection with an alleged domestic dispute last year has been granted a court diversionary program that could result in the dismissal of his charges.
Nelson Lopes, 43, of Southbury, was approved for a two-year family violence education program Wednesday in state Superior Court in Danbury, where he faces charges of first-degree threatening, second-degree strangulation, improper storage of a firearm in a motor vehicle, third-degree assault, second-degree harassment and second-degree breach of peace.
The charges against Lopes — a Danbury city employee of 10 years — stem from an early morning incident on June 7, 2025, during which Supervisory Assistant State’s Attorney Deborah Mabbett said he allegedly confronted his wife with “a gun in his hand.”
Mabbett noted during Lopes’ Wednesday court hearing that the defendant disputes the allegation regarding his use of the firearm during the incident.
Lopes, who court records show posted a $100,000 bond following his arrest, pleaded not guilty to the two felonies and four misdemeanors in October and applied for a family violence education program in December.
Mabbett said Wednesday that Lopes was not only found eligible, but recommended for the Explore Program, which would “give him even more treatment” than the traditional family violence education program.
Lopes’ wife told the court she’s “fully supportive” of her husband’s participation in the program, and his lawyer noted proactive steps Lopes has taken since his arrest.
“He’s been going to counseling for himself, as well as couple’s counseling,” attorney Michael McGetrick said, noting that there have been “no incidents” between Lopes and his wife since his arrest.
“It was an isolated incident,” McGetrick said, describing Lopes as a well-known and supported community member with “over 15 character reference letters” submitted in his case.
After considering everything presented in Lopes’ case, including “the exorbitant amount of counseling he’s done” since his arrest,
Judge Mary Elizabeth Reid said she believes the Explore Program is “a good resolution.”
She gave Lopes two years to successfully complete the program — which she said involves “a higher level of domestic violence counseling” and more classes than the traditional family violence education program — and set a dismissal date in his case for Feb. 4, 2028.
PS. If anyone can define exactly what 'exorbitant amount of counseling he's done' SINCE HIS ARREST, please share as I'm curious.
PSS IMO the presence of firearms with the PERP SHOULD HAVE PRECLUDED ACCESS TO ANY DIVERSION PROGRAM. I'm going to set up an alert for this Perp and his family as my guess is we have a future case with violence in the making here courtesy of a CT Judge that doesn't understand the connection of firearms and DV. I will follow up with the Court to see if his firearms license has been revoked but my guess is similar to what we saw with Kent Mahwhinney and his gun collection that it hasn't been revolved.
The State over the past 10 years has done everything possible imo to not take DV seriously and impose consequences for DV perpetrators. IMO this male is yet another example of misguided State laws and sentencing decisions by Judges (main perps imo as it relates to DV). Most Judges REFUSE to understand that rehabbing a DV perpetrator with a violent past does not have a great track record of success per the academic research. The victim in this sorry case (along with the entire family) will continue to live in fear as no consequences for abhorrent behavior was imposed on this violent criminal.
Per usual on this topic in CT, I'm out of words. Been watching this all to long in CT and between the criminal prosecutions when cases are brought to court (many if not most dont reach Court) and the Family Court process where Judges don't imo take DV seriously, I'm simply tapped out. I will continue to advise women subject to DV violence of any kind to take themselves and children and leave CT to find a jurisdiction where their safety and consequences for perps are possible. I realize this isn't a financial reality for most women and can be unlawful depending on the circumstances of the relationship with the DV perp, but CT has never and continues to NOT PROTECT DV Victims.

Nope, they cannot be believed imo because they are unserious and delusional. I'm just treating this latest news on the 'church ladies' as another chapter in the long story of 'NO JUSTICE FOR Jennifer'.
At this point, I think the only justice that will be meted out for this tragedy will be eventually at the day of final judgement of MT and her family, as each I believe will have to meet their maker. Believing this is the only way I can hang on with these cases of extreme DV violence. Sadly, the State of CT and most of its citizens have long lost their way imo on the topic of DV and justice for victims. Can't fight the tsunami of public and judicial opinion on all of this and so will just have to wait for judgment day to come.

Update: No response yet from States Attorney handling this case as to whether either she or Judge revoked any CT Gun License for the perp. Not holding my breath for a response as I don't think it will ever arrive but I will check the record next week and see if there is anything available to confirm the status of firearms in the house and Perp Gun License. What a State that such questions even have to be checked.
I think she’ll be watching her on a tv in a common room in prison, but I do think there is a chance she’ll get a new trial. She shouldn’t, but since it’s Connecticut, I think she might. Is there any chance that the judge could possibly make his decision on “new trial and release from prison in the meantime”, while nobody’s looking? That would be some kind of madness, if she ended up out of prison, and ensconced in that congregational church house, without anyone knowing in advance.
