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

[Alkali13]

He interrupts everybody and not one reprimand as to etiquette YET. Its honestly like watching a toddler have a screaming tantrum and meltdown. SO disruptive and unprofessional.

So far today my favorite JS quote is ending his argument about not showing the videos back-to-back with, "It's just not fair." I picture him stomping his foot with his hands in fists as he says it.

MOOMOOMOO

Help me here. Didn't JS already stipulate to the videos being played, without redaction, but now he's objecting every 13 seconds anyway?

Forget 2.5 hours. I took a hammer to my watch. Pulling out my calendar to time this one.

MOOMOOMOOMOO

Perhaps he doesn’t want prosecution to utter a peep re: clarification with the witness? Trying to lull jury into long-video sleep? Trying to cow P, and the court? MOO

Late to the party bc of work, why is it not live on YT? Sorry if I missed the reason.

MOOMOOMOOMOO

Didja notice that JS tried to sell a story of his own? That the defendant never saw FD awaken because she was in bed with her daughter, comforting her from the thunder? After we'd just heard the defendant say that she left her daughter and went to the bedroom where she saw FD, awake, that he joined her in the shower. Sheesh. JS needs to talk less and listen more.

And me? I have a real dilemma. If I hear one more time about the sexy time shower, I don't know what to do. I feel dirty. But I can't shower it off because MT + FD = shower. *shudder*

Truth: they probably did shower together that day, after they removed their bloody ponchos.

Ghastly human being.

MOOMOOMOOMOO

Morning break

MOOMOOMOOMOO

Reflecting on the evidence, the photo of trash collected from Albany as it was spread out on butcher paper at the State garage, I wonder if FD and the defendant cleared the Jeep of its refuse -- looks like fast food or take out debris, assorted beverages, juice boxes, car crud. Piled that on on top of crime evidence.

The officers are sure going easy on her sof far, trying to appeal to her good will or to any fear of reprisal from FD, believing her best course of action is to tell them everything they know.

MOOMOOMOOMOO

 

[Megnut]

What is notable is that in response to multiple questions about what happened to Jennifer, who LE indicates suffered a significant assault in her own garage and who remains missing, MT begins at the beginning of the "timeline" (formerly known as "alibi script").

MOO

And she didn't start by describing that day. She talked about usually. And normally.

MOO

 

[Megnut]

Back live, no jury

 

[Megnut]

JS sets the record straight, the State never said story, the Judge did.

Now JS is reading the transcript about the defendant sleeping with her daughter. He's objecting to what he now calls a mischaracterization.

State explains that the defendant herself says she left her daughter. Saw FD wake up. State says the only mischaracterization here is the one made by the Defense.

Judge says he will hear objections on mischaracterization going forward but if that's the current objection, he did not hear a mischaracterization. Overruled.

 

[Megnut]

Video resumes, jury present

The defendant is describing her morning routine

[She is saying a lot what she'd usually do, she'd put on exercise clothes. Not what she did wear.]

Describes getting breakfast for daughter.
Taking her to school.
Getting home.
She can hear Kent and Fotis in the office.

 

[Diddian]

LE asked if she could help with determining what happened to JFD and where she is.

She continues following the script about each hour of her day and has not addressed the question. JFD has not yet been mentioned. It's like a long recitation that resembles her taking her photo with the store robot - i.e., THIS IS MY ALIBI.

And what do you know about Jennifer?
And what do you know about Jennifer?
And what do you know about Jennifer?

 

[Megnut]

State pauses video to ask witness if the defendant maintained her account about seeing FD in the office. No.

 

[Gardenista]

The amount of detail she is giving is sus.

 

[Jmoose]

This reference to the report makes me furious. And if Herman did say something like that in the report, I have to wonder how likely it is that a psychiatrist might misdiagnose a woman who is terrified by an extremely abusive and controlling narcissist who has proposed the most preposterous living conditions (that he move his girlfriend and her child into the family home and he and they continue to live off the Farber funds), and threatened to take their children out of the country, but who presents a completely different face and persona to the rest of the world.

Whatever he said in that report, Dr Herman couldn’t or wouldn’t back up with evidence, when he was grilled in a court proceeding in front of Judge Heller, by Reuben Midler. He refused to testify further once he began to get pushback, which is why the report was stricken from the record, and the hearing was halted. The report was not only stricken from the record, it was sealed, and no one was supposed to receive it, copy it, share it, or use it in court. And yet, we’ve all seen what has happened with it, along with continued references made to it, both in police interviews, and in this trial in the first week.

First alibi stop - Avon Self Storage to return the purse left at the dinner party the night before (which "Hutch" had called about).

Next stop - Stop and Shop. "Is that Avon? Or, Simsbury?" "I don't know,..." then something unintelligible. "I have the receipts." Mention of the robot she spotted walking. "I thought it funny and took my picture with the robot."

WAY too much detail. (A common sign of lying.)

 

[Alkali13]

The amount of detail she is giving is sus.

Right? I couldn't give this much detail about yesterday, let alone over a week ago.

 

[Megnut]

The defendant says she took the purse to the warehouse to deliver it to the owner who had left it at the house the night before, on the way to the supermarket. A lot of detail about her exchange at the warehouse, her shopping, her selfie with the robot. Describing doing that as a joke, sending it to people, her sister.

The receipts are crazy to me too... How much does she have in her purse that she has receipts for groceries from over a week ago? Does she shove every single thing she's handed in her purse?

 

[Diddian]

Body language when they try to clarify which vehicles were there. Didn't see the Raptor, it might have been in other garage. "Did you see the Suburban when you took N to school?"

Stops, palm supports head, leans elbow on table. Pause. (IMO, she realizes this is going to be more intensive than just reading through the alibi script.)

 

[Diddian]

Ding, ding, ding. Big lie #2. "I had lunch with Fotis."
