Deceased/Not Found CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #50

[MsJosie]

Better shot at an acquittal with Judge Blawie on the bench...

That is what I was afraid of. I hope it is a jury. Imo, I do not care for Judge B.

Perhaps JudgeB is Covering All The Bases so there is No Reason for an Appeal once MT is Convicted.

Has anyone had experience with JudgeB or know someone that has?

It would be interesting to sit in on a criminal trial with him as the Judge to see How he manages an actual trial.

Remember, based on pre trial hearings, we were not too sure about the Civil Court Judge and in the end, that Judge found in favor of Dr.GF and also noted that he believed that Fd had Fabricated his 'so called' evidence.

IMO.

I hope so-he does seem a little too concerned about how the defense views him, and I would rather think that he wants to avoid an appeal, than to think he’s being effectively bullied by JS

Thanks for your input. Sometimes I read about or meet someone that does hit hit me the right way. Not saying he did anything but something is off for me.

I tend to agree at this moment. Judge Blawie was very firm with FD. Hopefully, by amending the more rigorous parts of MT's bail agreement, he may gain allowance from the Appellate Court to keep the ankle bracelet.

When counsel meets in chambers before the hearings, it seems that "things" are often discussed. I wonder what JS discussed about MT and her distress level if the attorneys met in chambers with the judge prior to the public hearing held in late August . (Am I correct in believing that an attorney for the defendant can't meet privately with the judge without opposing counsel present, even in a criminal case.)

Did the judge talk with the attorneys prior to his written ruling? Was Attorney Colangelo involved in the decision to let MT visit her father in Florida? (An assuming she has a current driver's license to fly, as she shouldn't have anymore passports, right?)

And, what is the big deal about attending hearings in Stamford? AS looked truly relieved that the Oct. 1 hearing would be virtual. I really don't understand the angst the man has about driving to Stamford.

The other thing that I have been wondering about are the parents' properties that were used to secure MT's bail. What would happen if one of those properties were sold? Would that change her bail as it did for FD?

Lots of wondering over here, I guess.

MOO...IMO...just wondering!

I thought Colangelo was in the dark about MT getting permission to go to Miami. And it troubles me that he wasn’t involved in this.

I suggest anybody questioning Judge Blawie check out Jan 8, 2020 CT Insider link (that I can't access today). He's the real deal and Attorney JS should re-think repeating the same argument before him. MOO

Fotis Dulos warrant: 5 things about Judge John Blawie

Judge John Blawie essentially gave Fotis Dulos a lecture today. Here are some of his comments from the hearing.

"Besides the financial conditions of your bond, sir, you are obligated to comply with the non-financial conditions, and first and foremost of those is the GPS monitoring of you through you GPS bracelet....You've been less than diligent about your obligations to keep that bracelet fully charged so the GPS can properly function....In terms of GPS monitoring, a low battery status is not a trivial condition."

"Sir, until these charges are litigated, you have to understand you must comply with your GPS monitoring and that includes keeping that bracelet fully charged or at least not in the low battery status where it's in danger of losing the ability to track you. As you know, there's two doors out of this courtroom. There's that door [motions to side where defendants in custody come in], and there's the door out the back with your counsel. I don't want to send you through that door while these allegations are pending....I don't want to have to have another hearing on this issue because I will consider raising your bond if I get another report of noncompliance."

I’m still waiting for him to take the same tone with MT and her attorney. He never said a word about the assortment of times that MT was out and about, completely disregarding the terms of her house arrest (pictures of her volunteering at the horse farm). He said that she has been completely compliant and she hasn’t.

Where did it say the hearing would be virtual? Doesn't say that on the online case detail.

 

[pernickety]

Thanks for your input. Sometimes I read about or meet someone that does hit hit me the right way. Not saying he did anything but something is off for me.

Here's an opinion of Blawie in the media back when he was on the Sandy Hook case:

Judge again hides Newtown shooting facts from public (Column) – The Denver Post


Judge “Roll-Over’ John Blawie — without as much as a perfunctory hearing — that same day allowed Sedensky to hide public records for another 90 days.


A trained monkey could insert this line into a judicial order: “The court finds that due to the nature and circumstances of this case and the ongoing investigation, the state’s interest in continuing nondisclosure substantially outweighs the right to public disclosure at this time.’


“This was a case that had a profound impact on people beyond the immediate area and it will have a profound impact on public policy, Richard Hanley, graduate journalism director at Quinnipiac University, told the AP. “It’s imperative that the authorities release the full investigative records, the 911 calls and other documents relative to this slaughter, because the overriding interest is the public’s right to know.’

 

[pernickety]

I thought Colangelo was in the dark about MT getting permission to go to Miami. And it troubles me that he wasn’t involved in this.

It troubled me that he didn't issue an order on the record that she was given "leave of the court" to travel to Florida, but only mentioned it after the fact in his subsequent ruling, which only came out after JS filed his latest appeal. Then--shouldn't the order that he didn't issue on the record have included mention of the Governor's travel advisory showing FL to be on the list of states that travelers coming from to CT would have to quarantine for 14 days? And do we even know how many days MT was allowed to be away from CT? See this re a CT Selectwoman & husband fined for visiting their military son in state on advisory list and not quarantining upon return to CT.

It was at the end of the hearing on August 28. Someone, I'm not sure who it was, reminded the judge the hearing could be held virtually. Judge Blawie asks AS if that would be a choice for him.

AS exhaled loudly, relaxes his shoulders and says, "Yes."

Here's a link...it's at the end, with about 2:30 remaining. It also reminded me that AS is trying to get a copy of the family study that was never entered into the court record.

She most definitely has to quarantine when she returns/(returned?). I am willing to bet there maybe a few folks just waiting to see her out and about not quarantining.

Again thanks for your in put pernickety and Jmoose. I will continue to read what is posted as the information is released, there are hearings and the trial starts and goes on. I do value everyone’s opinions.

Cloudydiamond, I hope that the city, county, state enforce the quarantine rule/law because where I live it’s a joke. I do agree that people and the media will be watching for MT to go out.....if/when she makes it back. Just how long does she get? And who is monitoring her bracelet in Florida? Or has it been removed?

CT most definitely enforces that rule. The monitor should still be on unless she's somehow managed to escape it and is on a plane right now to Argentina.

(Couldn't get to end in the link--needed a log-in, but rely on your report.) But I didn't know criminal arraignments could be done remotely. (looked at up-dates of CT court Administrator's policies, but didn't see that) It's not just a hearing--she has new charges.

CT most definitely enforces that rule. The monitor should still be on unless she's somehow managed to escape it and is on a plane right now to Argentina.

Remember when she got leave to go to NY for a week to stay with a friend, and then came back after a day and said her reason was that the GPS wasn't working? But it seemed that the prosecutor didn't know she came back early?
