Jennifer Dulos case: Fotis Dulos, Troconis and former attorney charged in murder
Jan 7, 2020
Soon after Fotis Dulos was originally charged in his own wife’s disappearance, Mawhinney requested to be removed as his civil attorney.
William Murray replaced Mawhinney and represented Fotis Dulos in the
two-day civil trial last month in Hartford. On Tuesday, Murray said he believes his client is innocent.
"I've probably known him since August, I don't think he did it," Murray said. "I think he's innocent. Something weird obviously went on, but I'd be interested in seeing what the arrest warrants say."
Murray does not believe the murder charge will impact the lawsuits.
"The new arrest shouldn't affect Mr. Dulos' credibility as a witness in the trial," Murray said. bbm
Shortly after Fotis Dulos was taken into custody, New Canaan police tweeted “Justice!”
Pattis arrived at Dulos’ Farmington home about 10 minutes before state police arrived. He said “a well-placed rumor seemed credible enough for me to come here.”
Pattis said he was not surprised the state decided to bring the charge. “I will be surprised if they can win it. Mr. Dulos contends he was not involved and I don’t think the evidence will show that he was.”
The arrests brought praise from Karen Jarmo, chief executive officer of the Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
