Still Missing CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #58

They need Alkali on the stand.
MOO

 

[Diddian]

JS claims to have written this motion last night and submitted it this morning. (In defense of his not having handed the motion over to the State until they walked into Court this morning.)

But he had the issue with the officer mentioning the Toyota Tacoma on Friday. We saw him object at the time.

Maybe the defendant's propensity to lie is contagious.

 

[nodamselindistress]

Good grief JS going on and on. State's argument was short and to the point. MAKE IT STOP JUDGE! Almost 20 minutes in and no witness testimony yet...

 

[Gardenista]

State called defense low rent, lol

 

[Alkali13]

I've never been against this judge, but he needs to reign JS in hard, no one can stand 6+ weeks of this. It's disruptive, petty, wasting time.

 

[Alkali13]

State called defense low rent, lol

I love that prosecutors snipes so much, ha, especially the one when JS tried to object, to which the judge pointed out you can't raise an objection when the jury isn't present, lol

 

[Alkali13]

Judge says it is not the courts job to draft a SCRIPT for witnesses. Surprised JS didn't jump up and object to the use of that word.

 

[nodamselindistress]

Denied! Jury being brought in at 10:25

 

[Alkali13]

Motion denied since the onus to raise objections to witness testimony is on counsel, not the court.

This court has been a runaway train from day 1 sadly imo and Judge management of the case imo has been highly questionable. This is so unfair to the jury and imo very much stands in the way of justice. Simply wrong.

 

[Megnut]

Judge says he never tires of objections.

State refers to the Defense's motions as unhinged.

Defense waited until after court opened to introduce their motion.

State points out that it's the defense and defense alone has raised racism.

State reiterates the Judge's point -- the defense is free to object.

JS is arguing again, he believes that witnesses shouldn't be testifying rowdy they made the decisions they made under a hearsay violation.

State insists that they aren't introducing it for the hearsay value.

JS is now threatening that if the witnesses can testify thusly, he will have to call all new witnesses that he previously agreed not to call.

State refers to the blanket motion as specious. Low rent!

Judge ruling:

He is reminding that there are things that should never reach the jury's ear because it's unfairly prejudicial. The court is looking at specific details that need to be limited, not categories.

This motion seeks to limit whole categories.

Witnesses can testify to anything.

Judge lists what the Court's job is not.

Judge underscores the roles of defense and prosecution, the skill to present and defend. And to use objections to bring issues to the attention of the judge, to rule on.

Motion, denied.

 

[Alkali13]

Ventrusca just called out that he can't hear the state's questions over "this guy talking in my ear" (the translator).

 

[afitzy]

Translator is on blast today. Between TP and Translator its hard to hear via stream. Can only imagine the impact on the jurors AND WITNESSES. Isn't there a Clerk of Court that can address these administrative issues? It all impacts the jurors and witnesses to say nothing of the attorneys.

 

[Gardenista]

I love that prosecutors snipes so much, ha, especially the one when JS tried to object, to which the judge pointed out you can't raise an objection when the jury isn't present, lol

He's the one who said the defense's theory is that the blood in the garage came from a squirrel who was run over while eating a cheeseburger. He's freaking hilarious

 

[LosAngeles]

Denied! Jury being brought in at 10:25

YaY! Another Swing 'n a Miss!

Megnut, I really LOVE the succinct, accurate descriptions you are providing throughout this, it's much appreciated.

 

[Megnut]

Sgt Vantresta back on the stand.

First statement out of the gate -- he can't hear the question because the man is too loud, presumably the interpreter.

State already done with witness.

Now cross.

 

[afitzy]

Who here thinks that TP doesn't really understand (or want to understand) why the FD evidence is coming at the trial of MT?

 

[Alkali13]

UHart is not on Albany Avenue. It's on Bloomfield Avenue. St. Joe's University is on Albany.

You should email your excellent Albany map to the TP offices! Pure insanity on view here today.
