Still Missing CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #56

[Seattle1]

The 12.11 is no longer listed, so I'm assuming it's cancelled. The new date is listed as a "remote" hearing.

I don't recall seeing such a 'caution yellow' banner and red font yelling "remote hearing" (warning) on the docket before! Makes me wonder if this is a MSM/media courtesy i.e., stay away, save your effort, for the nothingburger event.

Yes-no time to think about the woman she helped kill

And then the January start date for the trial is probably inconvenient bc hey its the ski season and likely her daughter has events - so let's push push push things out by Mr yada yada Schoenhorn's drivel and delay delay.
He should be fined for wasting the courts time. No wonder CT courts are slower than molasses.
One hundred percent ridiculous in my book
CT taxpayers should be outraged

I really don’t think the trial is going to start when it’s scheduled to. It will surprise me if it does. Michelle Troconis is treating this like an outrageous imposition on her. Tough tittie, Honey!

Is CT Judicial getting away with persisting in too many remote hearings? What about public's Constitutional right to access to the courts? I've noticed same thing in a couple of civil cases.

Is CT Judicial getting away with persisting in too many remote hearings? What about public's Constitutional right to access to the courts? I've noticed same thing in a couple of civil cases.

While this case seems to have had a large number of remote hearings, probably not the best case to judge CT Judicial considering the players. Here, we have the defendant's defense counsel, Mr. Frivolous Motions, and Ms. Jetsetter, who has used every reason in the book to avoid sticking around CT for the convenience of the court. (Let's not forget, MT is an opportunist, and nobody in town is offering her nicely furnished digs, rent free).

Which brings me to the latest frivolous defense Motion to reopen the hearing where MT alleges her civil rights were violated after she was delayed access to "her residence." (What residence --MT owned nothing and could have been thrown out on the street by Fd at a moments notice). Not even NP thought to stoop so low as to claim unreasonable delay while the residence was under a valid search warrant.

Initially, the defense argued 3 days was unreasonable and the Court essentially ruled no, sorry, not sorry -- take it up in Federal Court (i.e., file a civil rights complaint against the LE officers).

But most recently, JAS now claims he has since learned from a police report previously unknown to him that the house was actually under police custody including the weekend--making the seizure nearly 7 days and even though I was unaware of this, it was grossly unreasonable! ^^This bs on the eve of the trial date... absolutely unbelievable!

IMO, what was unreasonable is not that the house was under warrant and that LE went above and beyond to extend MT every courtesy to later return and collect some personal clothing/belongings for her daughter and herself but that she was not allowed to host her Florida visiting mother in Jennifer's palatial greatness-- which was never MT's right to begin with (civil right or any other)!

Again, go take it up with the Feds, and I guarantee JAS civil rights complaint will be summarily dismissed by the Court for MT failing to establish any foundation for the alleged violation of her civil rights! MT was uninjured and has no basis to enrich herself going after LE.

Seriously, at this point, what hasn't JAS tried? Dude, time to get a proper haircut, and roll up your sleeves. MOO

Worker whose truck allegedly used in Jennifer Dulos disappearance granted immunity, attorneys say​

“Supervisory Assistant State's Attorney Michelle Manning said during the hearing the prosecution plans to call Gumienny to testify. She said the offer of immunity was "recently known to us." Manning said the prosecution has interviewed Gumienny's attorney and Colangelo about what exactly was said during the conversation.
She said Gumienny was not considered a co-conspirator, but "it was more with respect to his own potential culpability," that he was granted immunity.“

Although it's long been know that PG was on the witness list, I agree with Manning that the parties need to be careful of wrongfully painting a witness with the conspirator brush.

However, given the parties involved here and the opportunity for this case to go on and on with appeals if/when MT convicted, I think it was good lawyering for PG's attorney to negotiate a use and derivative use immunity for her client that will also serve as reason to believe his testimony is accurate (immunity does not cover perjury).

I also think working for/with fD as a tradesman for any length of time would be difficult to not beware of unrelated, unsavory practices by his boss that he may have ultimately benefited from and can now speak freely of such things. This would be important since the true culprit is deceased and can't be prosecuted and somebody is always eager to go after low hanging fruit.

And KM had better testify of all he knows! JMO

From the quoted news link:

Stamford Superior Court Judge Kevin A. Randolph said the argument over naming the co-conspirators was "subtle."

If there are other co-conspirators, he said, the defense should have an opportunity to know who they are so they could be contacted.

"They may not agree to talk," he noted, but they should be "available for investigation" by the defense.

However, he noted, prosecutors could argue they do not wish to disclose the names of anyone they might prosecute at a later date.

"If these are witnesses whose names appeared on the witness list, these alleged co-conspirators, they should be identified to the defense," Randolph said. "If their names did not appear on that list, the court would need more from the defense to determine whether their names and addresses should be disclosed."

Manning said everyone who may be called to testify did appear on the witness list.

"The witness list is extensive and substantive," she said.

Manning also argued against labeling others involved as co-conspirators.

"What I wouldn't want to see is throughout the course of the trial be 'this person is identified as a co-conspirator,'" Manning said. "Well, that's a criminal charge that we are not pursuing on somebody, or whether they have even done anything, simply because they may have played a role in assisting or agreeing to do anything with Fotis Dulos or Michelle Troconis. That is the state's concern is the label of co-conspirator."

Manning said the prosecution plans to call Gumienny to testify, while other testimony will discuss the call from Greece. However, she said Toutziaridis was not likely to testify. Mawhinney is also on the list as a potential co-conspirator, she noted, though it was not yet clear if he will testify.

Randolph said the court wouldn't rule on whether the co-conspirator term could be used by the defense.

"But the court is concerned that the defense has an opportunity to attempt to, if they wish, investigate any further individuals who they have not investigated whose names appear on the witness list disclosed to the jury," the judge said.

I really like this take on PG, and his usefulness to the state, as well as the real reason he was given immunity. When I first began to read the article, I wondered why he would even need immunity, since he was not, and had not been, considered a co-conspiritor. But of course it makes sense that there certainly would have been some interesting activities that PG might have been involved in-and ones that fD might even have been hanging over PG’s head. I can’t say how glad I am that PG held onto those bloody seats from his truck.

Also, JS’s words convince me more than ever that PG was supposed to be blamed for Jennifer’s murder-or he at least was to be their “reasonable doubt”.

One small correction-PG’s lawyer Lindy Orso is a man, not a woman-not that it ultimately matters. And he has a reputation of being very good. PG is lucky to have retained him from the beginning.

Thanks for expanding on the matter since I think it's important we get ahead of JLS here since we can trust he's already formulating how to try and turn this into something that it clearly is not! No doubt we'll soon see JLS's imposter tweets directed toward select MSM reporters sooner than later. Poor, poor, MT...

Totally agree @carolmaria - From what I have seen so far she is sharp, strategic and even keel. The perfect foil to JS and his histrionics. Imo

[Jmoose]

So JS and MT are trying again for the “speedy trial” being all-important to her rights, thereby she deserves to have her charges dismissed. Maybe he should have thought of that when he caused what probably ended up being at least a year of delays with his ridiculous motions (like suing the court reporter).

I was thinking of something today, after Seattle said something about what PG may have needed immunity for-so maybe he could hace been involved, along with fD in some sort of “icky” things…if that is true, then from MT’s perspective, she was literally the only pure and innocent thing in fD’s universe. Even Jennifer, from the Troconis family perspective, was a bad mother and possible drug addict. FD’s associates were all creeps, if PG was one, too. All except MT. This isn’t evidence, but it sure speaks volumes to me, and what it says is that fD only kept sociopaths close to him.

Just like the prior Motion to reopen the hearing re. admitting evidence secured from the residence under a search warrant, I think this pretty much sums up the strength of MT's defense when the only thing they can call on are the US Constitution Amendments and MT's civil rights! This is rich-- coming from the defendant who claims limited understanding of the language the Constitution was drafted. MOO

Wow, as late as @LosAngeles notification post citing the 12/11 event, I checked the court site (anticipating another "remote" warning), but the site still had not been updated with this date.

I'm so glad the State called JLS's bluff! It was the defense dragging their feet here -- trying for a change of venue, etc., as to why they could not go to trial after a jury seated.

From the quoted news link:

STAMFORD, Conn. — A new date has been set for the Michelle Troconis trial in Stamford.
A Stamford court clerk confirmed to FOX61 News the trial will begin a whole month ahead of schedule on Monday, Dec. 11 at 10 a.m.

Troconis faces charges of conspiracy to commit murder, tampering with physical evidence, hindering the prosecution, and conspiracy to tamper with physical evidence in connection to the disappearance of New Canaan mother Jennifer Dulos. She has pled not guilty to all the charges.
