I have to admit to being baffled about why the Court or frankly anyone should give any consideration to a motion filed by a NEW ATTY for a change in venue when the same NEW ATTY had not even read the files? Not only weren't the files read but the full body of evidence hasn't been disclosed. I do think the cheap ploy of the motion being filed was amongst other things to attempt to flush out additional evidence in the hands of the State. Perhaps that is what this NEW ATTY does and so is a specialist in "Cheap Tricks"? IDK, we will have to see.
What kind of ATTY would do this? IMO someone who is desperate but also someone who thinks that nobody (including the courts) is watching or caring and is simply trying to pull a 'fast one' based on rolling the dice about the differing demographics in Hartford vs Fairfield Counties. IMO here we saw a cynical move by an ATTY who just might think they are smarter than the rest of the world. IMO it was also a move that told us pretty much all we need know about this new ATTY and IMO also it was all confirmed with his first Court appearance with MT and Judge White. IMO the new Atty should have left his Hartford style games and tricks in Hartford and not brought them to Stamford!
This leads me to believe that the NEW ATTY was simply shopping for a friendlier venue to try his client AND he seems to be fixated on the NEW YORK PRESS as being the antichrist and somehow averse to his clients issues. He thought he could slip the motion through and then slither back to Hartford with his slimy client where he was no doubt promising her and Mama A a basic 'slap on the wrist' and limited time served on some kind of ridiculous job release program. IMO totally ridiculous as was his stated inability in Court the other day to defend his motion. The whole thing was so ridiculous that I'd love to have seen Judge White simply rip up the ill conceived motion and say, "file again when you are ready to defend your motion sir"!
IDK, but it also seems to be pretty unprofessional behaviour to me when the request is couched under the 'guise' of the location where the alleged crimes were committed and all the statements were made in advance of reading any file material.
MT as a character in this case is no 'bit player' IMO as the NEW ATTY sought to make her out to be either and this tactic was absolutely laughable and simply smacked IMO of Pattisville tactics that we all here have been subject to for months on end. The Press have spent months documented MT and her life choices and relationship history and her virtually non existent work history too. MT has been unmasked and uncovered and now a new attorney is seeking to 'reinvent his client' in a new venue when she has been widely reviled by the Press on a global basis for months not just for 'character issues' but for how she has lived her life for 45 years and how she conducted herself in her role as mistress of Fd for a number of years.
MT as we have seen from AW1-3 did not cooperate with LE, she lied on rinse and repeat for months at time and her character issues could fill volumes when her relationship history is investigated as has been done here on WS over many threads. A few words to describe MT: amoral, uncaring, disinterested, self absorbed, cold, materialistic party girl who seems to have the emotional depth of a raindrop and the moral compass of a streetwise Miami gangland thugette based on everything we have learned about her life and brief work history as an adult. MT has never really had a professional and simply hopped from one guy to the next during her life and the guys supported her and her lifestyle. In short, she seems like a washed up and aged party chick from Miami whose last ditch effort at some financial stability in her sorry life was to be the 'Queen of 4Jx'. MT had any number of opportunities to leave as she had no ties to CT other than Fd (Atty Colangelo clearly made just this point in Court this past week), yet MT stayed with Fd despite fighting about the divorce that would never end and IMO she stayed because Fd had convinced her that the money would allow them to live in leisure and party til the lights went out! In short, MT was IMO a 'character double' and indistinguishable from Fd which is why their relationship seemed to work.
Frankly given the character of MT as a longstanding mistress over many years, partner in Fd financial crimes via FORE as seen clearly in the 123 Hunter transaction, role in altering computer files/backup at FORE, documented pathological liar via 3 multi hour interviews with LE, choice to take the 5th in the Civil lawsuit to such basic questions as even stating her name, her trip to NY to get Farber family documents from Probate Court and who can forget the ride down Albany Avenue where she was actively participating and not simply chatting on the phone to Petu as originally described by her.
MOO
FD said his atty(unnamed, lol) would provide the reason for the garbage run. .
The fact that FD responded to BR and invited him over for a drink without telling his lawyers at that time shows that FD didn't have the kind of relationship with his lawyers that he should've had. MooThe two texted for about a week until Ragaglia accidentally sent a text from Fotis back to Fotis. Then writing, “he bit.” Followed by, “I feel horrible...I was texting my son...I am truly a good person.”
Alarmed. Fotis called police, “...concerned that the water and/or vitamins might be some type of poison meant to kill him…” The report says Fotis felt threatened when Ragaglia wrote, “God put me in this situation to end this horrible drama quickly.”
........
Police never ended up testing the pills or holy water. They declined to go on camera speaking about the incidents.
Police reports show Fotis Dulos feared Plainville man he originally befriended
Yes @kimch33kim, that was the way I too understood the Court instructions to work. Fd would have had to stay in NC on Wed. Goal was to not disrupt the childrens school schedule with 1.5 hr trip each way during the middle of the school week for a visit with Fd was what I understood to have been the driver of the Courts decision.I thought the visitation for Wednesdays was mandated to be in NC and there was no way he could have taken them somewhere within how many miles of NC.
Yes, in a prior thread this was researched and confirmed. Going from memory I think it was Constantine but there was also Theodore earlier in the month too.
Here is wiki info on dates for Name Days:
Name days in Greece - Wikipedia
Yes...aka as Fotis Dulos in the afterlife...lol! mooHmm; is that Joan of Arc, @dlharris2712 ?
What puzzles me is Grace Farms isn't known for their dining facilities. It's a beautiful 80 acre park that closes at 6 p.m., so I'm confused why he was planning to take his children to dinner at Grace Farms (unless he was packing a picnic?). Hmmm. Please enlighten me.
And didn't FD and JFD get away for a vacation from the kids--where he binge-watched movies by himself?Given that all the Fd, recent "Stepford Wives" looked the same, perhaps AC thought the pictures were of her?
Can't you just imagine the Fd crazy story to 'welcome AC as the new Queen of 4Jx' by saying that the pictures were of her!
I can totally see Fd doing exactly this and AC totally buying it!
Can you imagine the rage of MT knowing that these 'art shots' graced the bedroom and other rooms of 4Jx for months after the new "Queen of 4Jx" had been installed and living there?????!?!?!?!?
It's as hilarious as it is pathetic IMO.
It's always so amusing when avowed relationship cheater such as Fd and MT somehow think that their partners will change due to their presence. Fd seemed to have the relationship constancy of a barnyard cat IMO!
I am still a bit incredulous that 'Sister' Rena Dulos would throw stones at JFd for allegedly tossing Fd out of her bedroom with his ongoing cheating and then somehow twisting her argument to say that it was this fact that somehow justified Fd losing his mind and eventually murdering his wife! I'm not even sure Pattisville would have tried to spin such pap and to do it in multiple publications in Greece speaks IMO to how these people had no clue as to who Fd was as a person. Even discounting for Google translation screw ups, it seems that the Greek Family might just be talking about someone entirely different and NOT Fd. Sad for them as they simply look to be ridiculous in light of the 3rd party evidence and Court Documents present about their brother IMO.
MOO
Thank you. We can discuss Fd all we want (and I'm sure we will still do so), but there are active cases going on which could use a lot more thought.
I was thinking yesterday what MT's situation was prior to Jennifer's murder. Then my thoughts turned to initial motive on her part.
Here she was living with him, including towels and lemon squeezer, obviously pretty seriously setting up house. So serious, she bought a ladder, and moved her precious dining-ware with her. Her nudes were carefully hung in the bedroom.
She didn't have to pay any rent, and on top of that she had money funneled to her via the company Fd set up the year he married Jennifer. Her trips were paid for by the Farber money. Her daughter had her things there, as well. For all we know, the Farber money was also largely supporting MT's daughter.
She had it really, really good.
She felt she "had" Fd.
But did she? Did she suspect that she was losing him to someone else - someone smarter, richer, better-connected, and prettier?
Did MT realize the money train from the Farbers would not last that long if Fd and Jennifer simply divorced - and fear losing Fd, as well as her lovely, lazy, luxurious lifestyle?
And even if she "had" Fd - did she really? When Fd was visiting the children, she was still not part of his life - and wouldn't be even after the divorce, if it were stipulated that she was not to be around them. They were constant companions - that must have driven her crazy. And beautiful, talented Jennifer - what if Fd went back to her some day? What was happening (in MT's mind) when Fd went down to NC without MT?
Was it MT's suggestion initially to murder Jennifer? "What if we..." - and then start plotting it? Or did they come up with it together? If they were in it together, they'd have their big secret for the rest of their lives, right? Perhaps with KM's help, of course. The treacherous triumvirate.
Surely, Fd had a lot more to lose than Mt did by murdering Jennifer, IMO.
Do you know the Raptor went off camera? That is interesting. There was nothing in the storm drain, either, until there was. Hmmmm.
@HopeForTheBest, the cat was captured over the weekend and was in safekeeping according to what we learned during the Probate hearing this week.I want to know where the poor cat is and if it’s being taken care of properly by someone. The kids knew the cat since it reportedly was FD’s late mother’s cat, and they don’t need one more thing to worry about, not to mention that the cat itself undoubtedly was under stress being in FD’s house with all of that stress.
Who would spend the amount of money detailing/cleaning a truck that old?!?!which begs the question - why would anyone use such a truck to commit a crime of this nature?
Interesting thing about the phone simcard he was using was purchased in Miami. What do ya'll think about that? MT momma gave it to him or he had this secret sim card all along?Fotis is dead. He can't sue his attorney for malpractice. ((And I suspect Fotis intended to let LE scroll through and see nothing incriminating- and set up his attorney to come in and protest. Fotis probably thought LE couldn't keep the phone without a warrant, and his attorney would be right there for back up. He didn't count on its being secured pending the warrant.)
Then he dealt with the change in plans by whipping out and using another phone to call someone who he had to know would be involved with the police.
Fotis got into universities for the best and brightest. Makes you wonder how stupid the worst and the dullest can be.
I don’t know, I think it was after the no-contact ban when she moved her physical self out. Or maybe I’m confusing this with the time she and her family supposedly went and got “all” of her stuff.
client instructions and the suicide note are two seperate things. KS alluded to what his clients instructions were in his interview.
EXACTLY!
What kind of clown spends time talking to the Press about how the Press just keep calling?
Even with the low bar established by Pattisville that we have been sadly subjected to now for months about talking to the Press, even they would have managed to say something to the Press even if it was untruthful!
MOO
^^^^ Terrific post about the life and travails of MT.
Hey, Not all our Fl. "Thugettes" are as
bad as this one.
And didn't FD and JFD get away for a vacation from the kids--where he binge-watched movies by himself?
