Still Missing CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #60

[Eli9]

Sorry, I'm sure this has been discussed but what is MT's screen saver photo on her laptop?

 

[Silverstorm]

He pulls into his driveway and checks his mail? My mail would be the last thing on my mind after everything he did that day.

State recalls Detective Reilly. Evidence Officer.

June 11, Troop L garage in Litchfield. Conducted a search of the Toyota Tacoma.

Older model pick up extended cab plain bed no liner dings and debts of an 18 year old truck.

It was clean. Appeared to be very clean. Tires were washed and armor alled.

Plow mount, chrome running board. Other seats in the vehicle.

Two automotive seats from another vehicle.

Partial backseat with flip down seats.

Seats appeared to be from a Porsche. Were not affixed, driver seat was propped on a kitty litter or sand bucket. Passenger seat was just leaning back. We could just lift them out and we did just that.

Witness confirms seeing the Porsche at 585 Deercliff was missing its front seats.

State needs a moment to retrieve a disk.

Why is TP in such a hurry today? Perhaps it’s Opposite Day for him today! Classic toddler trick imo!

Idk, his credit cards were being shut down at this time and my guess is the foreclosure docs were showing up daily too. His world was coming down….

JS seems testy today

 

[afitzy]

Kudos to Judge R for schooling TP in front of the jury and explaining to them quite clearly that what TP was saying about presumptive testing having no evidentiary value is

FALSE!

Judge is not having the jury lied to!

Moo

 

[Megnut]

State is using disk she had prepared for counsel.

Defense agrees to all photos except two.

Photos of the Toyota Tacoma. Witness identifies the attachment for a snowplow.

State asks about oil, whether it came from the Tacoma. Witness says he couldn't say for sure.

Tires looked recently clean. Tires and rims, clean.

Witness identifies trailer hitch. License plate was also clean.

Two automotive seats in the bed. The seat cover was also in the bed.

View of underside of the seat.

DNA swabs from license plate screws.

State asks why DNA was taken from the screws. "We learned..."

Objection, sustained.

Wore gloves, mask.

Did not swab door handles. Because it had been about two weeks since May 24th, plus it had been watched.

Located a bloodlike stain on the door. Tested it with Kastle Meyer.

Objection, objects to this test or any other, irrelevant [was a looooooong litany of objections]

Judge overrules.

Tested it with Luminol.

Objection, overruled

Witness is looking at photos 9 and 10 privately. Photo during processing it with Luminol. Photo 10 is an overlay.

JS is objecting and wants to voir dire

Judge schools. No voir dire of an objection

Was Tested, wasn't actually blood, confusing to the jury. Wasn't organic, wasn't blood, isn't relevant, has nothing to do with the case.

JS it has no modicum of bearing

Probative value can be determined by investigation. Color, pattern, etc can determine whether presumptive testing is probative. Overruled.

To the rest of JS's Objection, the Judge says that's not an objection, that's cross examination.

Luminol showed areas of bluish glow.

JS objects, just wants his view on the record.

Tested some areas with Kastle reagent. Negative. But swabbed anyway.

Photo showing the Porsche seats propped in position in the front of the Tacoma.

[Sheesh, Fotis, nothing suspicious there.]

 

[afitzy]

New TP tactic is to do a “testimonial objection” with false conclusions and facts, and is now disagreeing with Judge on the Code!

Mind blowing….
Moo

 

[SkylarSid]

It stumps me as well how this family is funding the cost of this enormous defense. Each day in court has an approximate billing rate of 1,000.00/hour (TP & one associate, so that adds up to 8K/day) which doesn’t include preparing for the day and weekends, yada yada yada. Gosh all mighty, if they have/had these financial resources, why in the world didn’t they offer them up to MT in 2015 so she could avoid grifting and assisting a murder In order to survive?

Exactly. And Fundly sure doesn’t look like it is going to offer them much relief.

 

[BUF]

Waiting to hear who’s DNA was on the license plate screws!

 

[Megnut]

JS is objecting to the next set of photos, Judge shuts him down, overruled.

Witness describes the interior as very clean. Luminescent stains tested negative by Kastle, took evidentiary swabs anyway.

Examined the seats from the bed of the truck.

Used Luminol. On seat with the seat cover, identified an area of interest on the upright portion of the seat. Tested possible with Kastle. Cut out section.

Photo of items collected from the inside of the vehicle laid out on butcher paper


On June 26th, they searched it again. Had a SW to seize the license plates and screws. Took swabs from the threads of the screws for latent DNA.

Witness processed both plates and tested with Super Glue. No fingerprints found.

Now a third search. Seized the entire passenger door panel plus the carpet/floorboard.

 

[Megnut]

Witness is now identifying JFd's Suburban, as parked across from Waveny.

State is playing yesterday's school bus video. Judge is explaining to the jury again that children's images are visible abd identifiable so cameras will be off. Only jury and courtroom can see video.

Witness is describing a red pick up and the Suburban parked in separate cut offs but facing each other.

State asks which vehicle was in front of the other.

Defense objects, he wasn't even there, speculation

Morning recess.

 

[I am not Sherlock H.]

So defense attorney objects to: a question on Luminol use in/on the truck? (Overruled….) and next set of photos? Overruled…….
This is astounding. And I am not certain it would be good from a procedural perspective. MOO
Thank you again to those watching, posting on it, and making clarity and your insight available! You can’t even imagine the help and favor you are doing!

 

[afitzy]

Gum or mints in mouth

Trial day 14: gum

 

[Megnut]

MOO

How many times does the Judge have to supply JS with an actual, workable objection?????

JS likes to testify.

JS likes to use objections as opportunities to testify more.

Spaghetti objections -- throw them all at the wall in the hopes that the Judge will agree to a noodle.

Tiresome.

Why is he even objecting to these stains that were ultimately negative for blood? His antics are calling even more attention to them.

MOO

Trial day 14: phone in use

 

[nodamselindistress]

Just curious, does LE put a truck back together when they rip out the door panels and carpeting like that? Or is poor PG left with the mess?

 

[afitzy]

Judge R seems to have reached the end of his last nerve on the use by TP of “testimonial objections”. Sadly I think he is being too subtle in his gracious approach as TP
is not getting the memo.

IDK, good question.

PG’s life was left in a mess….including having to hire an attorney.
