Michelle Troconis tells CT Supreme Court she’s being wrongly denied secret court records

Story by Edmund H. Mahony, Hartford Courant • Yesterday 3:42 PM

Michelle Troconis’ lawyer tried to persuade the state Supreme Court Wednesday that he has been wrongly denied access to records of a divorce case in which a judge improperly barred the public from a potentially explosive hearing and sealed the transcript from public view.

Troconis attorney Jon L. Schoenhorn has been trying for years to obtain the transcript of a May 2019 custody hearing in the divorce of Jennifer and Fotis Dulos, a bitter breakup that ended not long after one of the country’s most notorious slayings and suicides.

<snip>

Schoenhorn said he wants access to the hearing transcript to determine whether it contains anything that could support Troconis’ claim of innocence. She has been free on a $2.1 million bond since her arrest in January 2020.

Schoenhorn will not say whether there is anything in particular he hopes to find. And he told the Supreme Court Wednesday he is not trying unseal the divorce record as Troconis’ lawyer, but on his own as a “member of the public” who has been aggrieved by the judiciary’s refusal to provide him with a court record that he said has been sealed by an “illegal,” “unconstitutional,” “secret” and, as a result, invalid, court order.

It is not unusual for proceedings and records in divorce and custody cases to be kept secret in order to protect the privacy rights of litigants from disclosure of materials such as deeply personal medical and psychiatric reports. But the case before the court turns on questions about how records were sealed.

Both Schoenhorn and the state Attorney General’s office, which is defending the judiciary’s refusal to release the records, agree that the Superior Court judge who presided over the custody hearing wrongly barred the public from the courtroom and illegally sealed the transcript. In order to close a court to the public and seal the record, Connecticut law requires judges to follow a detailed procedure that includes giving the public two weeks to contest the order — steps that were intentionally ignored in the custody hearing.

The disagreement is over how Schoenhorn decided to pursue the records. He asked another judge to unseal the transcript and provide him with a copy on the grounds that it had been sealed illegally in the first place. He is asking the Supreme Court to reverse two lower courts that denied him the record, agreeing with the Attorney General that if judges are allowed to arbitrarily reverse one another it would lead to a flurry of what Chief Justice Richard A. Robinson called “judge shopping” and chaos in the court system.

Michelle Troconis, charged in Jennifer Dulos case, 'very grateful' to have GPS monitor removed​

In what her attorney described as a "small victory," a judge on Thursday granted Michelle Troconis' request to have her GPS monitoring device removed.

After nearly four years of monitoring, Judge Gary White ruled during a hearing in state Superior Court in Stamford that Troconis' movements will no longer be tracked while she is free on more than $2 million bond in the Jennifer Dulos case.

“I disagree with the defense that the bracelet shouldn’t have been put on in the first place, but given her history, I don’t think the bracelet continues to be necessary,” White said after citing Troconis’ “stellar” attendance record and four-year history of compliance with probation services.

Standing on the front steps of the courthouse afterward, Troconis said she was “very grateful” to her family, team and God for the judge’s decision after two-and-a-half years fighting against the GPS monitoring.

STAMFORD — A judge will decide within 10 days whether the courtroom should be closed to the public for a hearing to determine if a letter written by the attorney representing Michelle Troconis in the Jennifer Dulos case is confidential under attorney-client privilege.

If the letter, which was inside a box with a sweatshirt possibly connected with the 2019 death and disappearance of the New Canaan mother of five is determined to be evidence in the case, attorney Jon Schoenhorn could be disqualified from representing Troconis.

Judge Kevin Randolph said during a hearing Thursday he would issue a written ruling in the next 10 days about whether the courtroom will be closed for the evidentiary hearing.

Defendant in Jennifer Dulos case no longer under house arrest

On Monday, Mawhinney appeared in Stamford Superior Court where Judge Gary White granted a motion to lift that condition. It came 7 ½ months after Mawhinney allegedly tampered with his court-ordered GPS ankle monitor.

Defendant in Jennifer Dulos case no longer under house arrest​

Kent Mawhinney, the attorney charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the disappearance and presumed death of Jennifer Dulos, is no longer under house arrest. On Monday, Mawhinney appeared in Stamford Superior Court where Judge Gary White granted a motion to lift that condition. It came 7 ½ months after Mawhinney allegedly tampered with his court-ordered GPS ankle monitor.

In court, Mawhinney’s attorney Jefferey Kestenband, argued his client had been fully compliant since White implemented home confinement on Dec. 15.

“There have not been any prior problems either with his leaving the house without permission or any problems with him charging the electronic monitoring bracelet that is still on, and we're not asking to have that removed today,” Kestenband said in court. “In light of the fact that there have not been any problems over the five months, we respectfully ask the court to modify his conditions of release to allow him to leave home as he was doing before the court imposed the house arrest condition,” Kestenband said in court.

Supervisory Assistant State’s Attorney Michelle Manning said the state did not object to lifting house arrest, provided Mawhinney’s ankle monitor remains on.

“The state's main concern is keeping in place the GPS unit, particularly in light of the events that occurred last fall with his actions towards the bracelet,” Manning said.



Last month, Troconis had her GPS ankle monitor removed after nearly four years. Her next court date is May 26.

Mawhinney's case was moved back to the trial list after Monday’s hearing.

WTF?! It's only "Conspiracy to commit murder". Argues he's been compliant. Everyone with an ankle monitor is SUPPOSED TO BE! THAT'S THE POINT! WOW!

HE is an ATTORNEY. He didn't COMPLY with the original order. An ATTORNEY who broke the law and the rules of probation. I don't CARE how good he has been SINCE going against the court and the order. He shouldn't have DONE SUCH THEN should he have???

And we can talk about hers as well. Have an opinion about that ALSO.
