Still Missing CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #59

[BUF]

More blathering from JS to try to explain his objections that have continually been overruled.

Waste of court time.

 

[Curious-A]

Makes no sense. That looked like a scene clean up kit to me in back of white jeep! Moo

Yes! Exactly! Table saw (?) included!

 

[sassyblue]

The judge seems to think they will end earlier today since there is only one witness. I guess he didn't factor in JS's objections to the time equation.

 

[Baby baby Jane]

Makes no sense. That looked like a scene clean up kit to me in back of white jeep! Moo

It might be that they new it wasn’t driven on the key dates.

MOOMOOMOOMOO

Today's testimony reminds me how limited LE is by search and seizure laws.

I would have wanted them to seize and test everything. Yes, including sammiches. But we're learning that's not how it works. They need probable cause.

But gosh, paper towels and firece power tools? When paired with other paper towels and bloody ponchos?

I wonder if any of that contractor gear was seized later, by a different LEO. Perhaps that which didn't immediately appear relevant gained relevancy.

MOOMOOMOOMOO

 

[Baby baby Jane]

JS is objecting to a photo. Because there are other vehicles in the photo. Judge overrules.

Photos admitted

The other vehicle is the RED truck with the extra seats in the cargo area.

 

[Baby baby Jane]

Haha! Humble, trustworthy and honest!

Good one! Thanks for the laugh on a day that got off to a rough start!

Was thinking late start today because JS reading this & needed to change to blue suit and perky tie …

 

[Megnut]

The other vehicle is the RED truck with the extra seats in the cargo area.

In the impound lot?

I lost track of photo numbers, thought maybe it was the Suburban with the Thule in the State garage. My how JS hates that red Tacoma.

I wonder if the red Tacoma still gives the defendant a little tingle.

JMO

 

[Megnut]

We're back. Jury seated.

 

[afitzy]

LOL @ Judge and his sports analogies! Love it.

Its actually one of the FEW things I like and enjoy about the Judge! Live for the sports analogies. Sadly I don't think TP understands them as the behaviour continues.

 

[afitzy]

JS clarifying. He isn't arguing they didn't do everything. He's arguing that their investigation was biased. JS says 99% of what is shown is irrelevant to the case.
Says it'll be confusing to the jury.
Judge refers to an exercise in divination. He cannot deternine what is relevant at this point. Upholds the process.
Overruled.

Recess until 11:35

Couldn't find an image for an old style Divining Rod so came up with this as its effectively what TP is asking Judge to do with his various objections claiming that nothing or little the State has found relates to his client:

 

[afitzy]

It might be that they new it wasn’t driven on the key dates.

Yes, but we don't know yet whether is internal computer or GPS system was analysed. Hope it was, if it existed.

On the missing date we know Red Tacoma was in NC as most likely was FD 2015 Suburban. So, if White Jeep wasn't driven that day then was MT in the FD 2015 Suburban? Or was it KM in the FD 2015 Suburban? Wouldn't MT have had to have used the White Jeep to take daughter to school and complete her tasks on the Alibi Script? MOO

 

[Megnut]

Photos now of the 2015 Chevy Suburban in the State garage on May 31st.

Witness took DNA swabbings of the door handles and tailgate latch.

Took swabbing from the steering wheel.

Rear cargo area with a weathertek liner.

State asks why the liner has different colors.

JS objects.

Witness describes spraying Luminol in the rear cargo area.

JS objects.

JS objects.

Witness describes the process.

JS objects.

Judge offers him cross examination.

Photo shows results of the Luminol.

JS objects.

Court is not clear on what the objection is.

Overruled.

Witness describes an area that luminesced, conducted further Castle testing and got another positive. Took two swabs, sent for further analysis.

 

[Megnut]

Witness seized entire floor liner and sent it for further testing.

Photos of inventory process, items laid out on butcher paper.

 

[Megnut]

Next State's is asking about the 585 Deercliff property in Avon. Went on June 4th with a search warrant. Found it in disrepair, vacant. He was evidence officer, multiple LEOs and canine.

Looking for JFd or any evidence related to her disappearance.

No objection from JS, all 14 photos admitted.

 

[nodamselindistress]

WOW, JS does not object and ALL PHOTOS for 585 Deercliff are entered.

 

[afitzy]

JS clarifying. He isn't arguing they didn't do everything. He's arguing that their investigation was biased. JS says 99% of what is shown is irrelevant to the case.

Overruled.

Recess until 11:35

Honestly, what is confusing is allowing Defence Counsel to make uncontested statements claiming that 99% of what is shown is irrelevant to the case IN FRONT OF THE JURY!

Why are there no admonishments from the Judge on these misleading and prejudicial statements from TP?

 

[Megnut]

Witness dsscribes the property, in state of disrepair. Lawn, overgrown. Interior, unkempt.

Unlocked garage door. Unlocked front door.

Contractor supplies in the garage and a Porsche, with damage. Cracked windshield. Airbags had been deployed. Front seats were missing.

2nd vehicle. Toy vehicle.

View of the kitchen. Nothing of evidentiary value found.

Saw a security camera. No wiring, no SD card determined to be a dummy camera.

 

[nodamselindistress]

What a mess (Deercliff). Ridiculous to let that house fall into such a state of disrepair. Guess it just wasn't high end enough for FD to mess with it.

 

[Megnut]

Search of 80 Mountain Spring Road.

Walk through, photography, then systematic search.

State preparing to publish photos of 80 MS, vetting them individually and in batches.
