Thanks for this. This process does honestly confuse me as its been the direct reports to the Chief State's Attorney who have collectively chosen it appears to do zero about the issues (various rules violations) present with MT two attorneys imo, Jon Schoenhorn and Audrey Felson.CT is unique in that its AG doesn’t deal with criminal issues—that’s the Chief State’s Attorney’s office. IMO that’s the agency that should be investigating the involvement of MT’s lawyers in her contempt of court charge—conspiracy? They already investigated some of the computer-stored data, as I read. Certainly they should be able to prove how and when the psych report got on MT’s computer. Maybe they are doing so, or have done so? I’d think any member of the public could make a FOI request of the Chief State’s Atty’s office for records relating to an investigation of the matter, if there isn't a journalist diligent enough to do so. CSA might respond that they're exempt from complying because it's an open investigation. That would give the public some clue as to what's going on.
I agree, she has to know, why wouldn’t she, she was involved in every other detail of this murder. Damn, could she use that information as leverage for a shorter sentence?Apparently, Jennifer’s Mother Gloria believes mt knows where Jennifer’s remains are. I believe this as well!
JMO, computer forensics are tricky and metadata can be easily manipulated, even without needing to have any technical know how - just downloading files can wipe the metadata that would be useful info in terms of finding a source or even the date the file was created. And while it's certainly worth trying, the response to FOI filings in CT has been abysmal in the years since this case started. See particularly Avon v Sastre, where a local lawyer has used his law degree, years of his own time, the backing of the ACLU, to fight to get info all citizens should have had the right to have access years ago re: the sudden dismissal of former chief of police Mark Rinaldo, former neighbor of FD in Avon at the time of his mother's suspicious death after the driveway accident.CT is unique in that its AG doesn’t deal with criminal issues—that’s the Chief State’s Attorney’s office.

Of course she does! I think it's too late now for a shorter sentence if she came forward.Apparently, Jennifer’s Mother Gloria believes mt knows where Jennifer’s remains are. I believe this as well!
And even on the off-chance that she does not (which I doubt IMO), one has to envision that with all the time MT spent with FD (and also perhaps KM) it seems very likely she knows some good places to commence searching. Or some information that would lead to something.Of course she does! I think it's too late now for a shorter sentence if she came forward.
Do you suppose this means that the investigators and the prosecution also think MT knows what fD did with Jennifer’s remains?Apparently, Jennifer’s Mother Gloria believes mt knows where Jennifer’s remains are. I believe this as well!
So I read the ACLU sum-up on their website. So did anyone write about what the records revealed? Why was the Chief terminated? Did anyone request police records re the death of Fotis Dulos' mother in the so-called accident involving the nanny who was allegedly driving the car that hit her?JMO, computer forensics are tricky and metadata can be easily manipulated, even without needing to have any technical know how - just downloading files can wipe the metadata that would be useful info in terms of finding a source or even the date the file was created.

I wonder. Gloria and her grandchildren would cherish having a place to visit their Mother. imoOf course she does! I think it's too late now for a shorter sentence if she came forward.
I think you have put your finger on one of the great mysteries of this case (other than the body location of the victim).I agree, she has to know, why wouldn’t she, she was involved in every other detail of this murder. Damn, could she use that information as leverage for a shorter sentence?
@MollyDDD, purple for DV is SUCH a wonderful color isn't it! A personal fav.I wonder. Gloria and her grandchildren would cherish having a place to visit their Mother. imo
^^rsbmOdd too that there were NO character witnesses called at trial. Why?
Would you think that there would be character witnesses to speak on MT’s behalf, prior to sentencing next week? I suppose we aren’t looking for her family to drone on about her motherly attributes, or Petu…and ultimately, what good might it do? I think Judge Randolph already has a pretty good idea what he is going to do, anyway, and doubt that anything that someone could say about her will change his mind. And-these Troconises cannot seem to help themselves from the usual self-serving opportunity to make this terrible story, all about them and their precious Michi. I wonder how that’ll fly?^^rsbm
Rarely are character witnesses allowed during trial unless specific exceptions met, and if provided for by statute, it's generally only during the sentencing phase.
Specific to CT, please see:
Sec. 4-4. Character Evidence Not Admissible To Prove Conduct; Exceptions; Methods of Proof; Cross-Examination of a Character Witness (Pg 16/60).
Will MT strike a deal on her contempt charge before 5/31??In the March proceeding, Assistant State’s Attorney Elizabeth Moran and defense attorney Robert Frost told Judge Alex Hernandez they would meet prior to the next court date to see whether they could negotiate a resolution to the matter prior to Troconis' sentencing on May 31.
Wait-what? Couldn’t they have done this prior to moving the date for the contempt hearing to July?Will MT strike a deal on her contempt charge before 5/31??
IANAL but I tend to hope not. Let Judge Kevin Randolph and the jury’s verdicts to him and the court decide her punishment for the convictions on conspiracy / murder charges in the case of Jennifer Dulos. In 10 days IIRC. And then the other CT family? court MT contempt charge can be dealt with separately for the sealed ‘Report’.Will MT strike a deal on her contempt charge before 5/31??
