Still Missing CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #57

[Gardenista]

Has MT's full police interview been released? I'm watching Surviving the Survivor podcast and they are playing a part of it, but they only have 6 minutes.

@afitzy, it's you! !!!
And letting you all know how much I appreciate everyone here. No need to reply, just thankful.

Yes. I'm not a technical expert but I don't think its a mystery that the vehicle was left the way it was by FD on Lapham. Will have to go back and see the arrest affidavit. Gray Hughes did a rehash of the arrest affidavit the other night and I believe he might have discussed the issue of how exactly the car was left on Lapham. Will have to go back and double check the details.

Welcome Back!!! I was so happy to see your name!!!

Has MT's full police interview been released? I'm watching Surviving the Survivor podcast and they are playing a part of it, but they only have 6 minutes.

I have not seen full interviews (3 in total I believe) released in their entirety. The last interview clips I saw were on local media and were short and seemed to be part of the Defence team activity at the time to get the Conspiracy to Commit Murder charge dropped as the news clip shown had the interview clip along with the 'interpretation' of JS that his client was being interrupted by law enforcement in the room doing the interview in 2019. I personally dismissed the clips and commentary from JS as they seemed part of his agenda to attempt to get the Conspiracy charge dropped shortly before trial was scheduled to begin.

Given that it appears the Prosecution did not issue the recent clips from the interview so far as I can tell (and they weren't included or interviewed by NBC Connecticut in response to the JS assertion that his client had been wronged), I wonder if it is simply safe to assume that the clip was released by the Defence as they would clearly have the full interviews in their possession?

Its been awhile but I don't believe there was ever a 'gag' order in place for the Troconis litigation so perhaps the Defence was within its right to release a small clip of something designed purely to serve their litigation interests at the time?

So far imo it appears there is no bar too low for JS to crawl under in defense of his client, so perhaps this recent clip was simply part of his strategy at the time (release a short targeted clip totally out of context from a multi hour interview with his client - imo this seems totally 'on brand' for JS' tactics - and he had a local media outlet who wanted clicks and would not responsibly imo research the entirety of the issue under discussion). Further, there was no comment made by the State on the issue and per usual the Interviewer from this local NBC Connecticut made no effort to seek a response on the issue from the State or make mention that the clips were from a multi hour interview of Michele Triconis. The clip just simply seemed to be PR for JS which is something this case has sadly seen too many times before from local media with imo weak journalism standards and with context rarely provided. Summary, just seems to be a 'reposting' job by NBC Connecticut to get clicks and JS does these 'hit and run' type PR stunts because he has local media outlets that have 'standards' that allow something like this being sent directly to 'air live'. Sad state of affairs imo regarding news reporting in CT but the clip below seems to be par for the course with how this tragic case has been treated by the Media. Sorry for the rant about the media coverage of this case but imo it has been appalling with NBC and CBS chasing each other to scoot under the ever lowering bar of standards! Who can ever forget the 'interview' with the Troconis family?!

Here is one recent video from the second interview from 6/2019 when the third charge of Conspiracy was added.

To be fair I suspect that a lot of us had already had enough of JS way before the trial even began.
Her first attorney Bowman, I believe prob wanted no part of the charade. JS is all about bluster and drama and bs IMO.
I sense at this point when all is said and done that MT is going to have to do a “Hail Mary”
aka last ditch effort and take the stand in her own defense. Maybe JS has planned on this all along.
It won’t help but I don’t think there will be any other alternative.
Just my thought at the moment. Imo

I agree that she will take the stand only if he thinks she must-or if Mama A thinks it’s a good idea.

Monday is a Federal Holiday - Martin Luther King Day - are the courts closed in Connecticut on Monday, 1/15? Just want to keep my notes straight. But I guess some article will let us know - and the Judge to the jurors. Just thought I would ask...

No session on Monday-they resume Tuesday, assuming weather permits.

 

[Jmoose]

First it was thirty things that can glow, now it's "50 or 100?" Well, which is it Jon?

Also, it's ouija.

Don’t forget junk science

Middletown Press - Judge Randolph bioA bit of bio on Judge Randolph by local paper "The Middletown Press".

Hmmm-not entirely sure I like what I just read, re: alleged co-conspiritors

 

[Jmoose]

Testimony from LE yesterday I believe was that the battery in the Suburban was dead. My recollection was that the testimony yesterday also mentioned that one/or more of the doors was left open and imo this could have run down the battery. Will have to go back to original arrest affidavit to confirm but I believe the Suburban was inoperable at the scene and even having the key fob from Welles Lane would not start the vehicle when it was on Lapham Rd. The Suburban had to be put on a flatbed to be secured at NCPD Headquarters and I believe this was mentioned yesterday as well in testimony from LE.

Does not seem like an accident, leaving the door open, and the car in gear.

 

[Jmoose]

Really love this judge. He is giving JS a chance but also seeing right through him. Tbf, JS is doing his job - raising doubt and trying to poke any and every hole through the state's case. He's just not doing a good job of seeming competent at it so far and is reaching for straws. This isn't even the part of the trial he should take large issue with.

It doesn’t help that JS’s voice is rather annoying. It might help him if it were not so.

 

[Jmoose]

JS is REALLY against this luminol evidence being admissible. It makes me wonder exactly how much glow we're about to see.

A lot.

 

[Jmoose]

My focus has been going in and out.

This feels like a long road trip where the car starts and stops every 4 inches...

Are we ever going to get there?

Anxious to get into the thick of the State's case.

JMO

Having people’s focus going in and out is JS’s plan. If he can’t get evidence thrown out, then he wants the jury to be deeply asleep when it’s presented.

 

[Jmoose]

Does this feels like a mock trial to anyone? The judge is schooling the defense. This feels like a rehearsal! Practicing for trial.

The Prosecution is sharp, well prepared.

Can't say as much for the Defense.

JMO

On the first day, the defense was trying to school the judge-The jusge should put a stop to that.

If it is anything like what we are currently getting in northwestern Montana, expect the snows to be followed by extremely cold temperatures. It's currently -15F and temperatures tonight are forecasted between -24F to -30F (before windchill is factored in).

That’s expected, I think Wed. or Thursday

Do we know if letting the battery run down completely impacts the vehicle computer system and ability of law enforcement to obtain useable data? We haven't heard any testimony yet about the GPS/On board system for the Suburban but I'm curious if perhaps that might have been a reason why the vehicle was left running? We've run into this issue on other cases but I don't recall the technical impact on the system of running down the battery. Does anyone know? My sense is that FD researched many things and I don't believe leaving the vehicle running wasn't a random act on his part.

Cars are much like a computers. For example, batteries drain on computers but plug them back in for charge and ready to go. Similarly computers, cars computer systems can be reset. For most cars, unplug battery and turn on lights....let it sit for 5 minutes. And you will have reset computers....will need to drive them at over 40mph for 25-30 minutes to get the systems recalibrated

I have so missed you, @afitzy !! You were the one that made sense of the madness in the early days with your concise posts.

I can remember reading your posts to my elderly mother who was following the case in the news and your posts helped her understand the details that I couldn't quite explain. My mom died 2 years ago so she no longer has to worry about the young mother who disappeared leaving all of those kids behind. My mom probably already has the entire story from her location now and is cheering the prosecution on.

And may I just say...that guy....what a PITA he is. Arggghhh. I wanted to throw my phone at the wall late this afternoon listening to him.

The judge said earlier this week that March was just a long estimate for trial. I think at this point June will be a long estimate...judging on the last two days.
