I'm utterly gutted that this woman's murderer received such a minute sentence. This is revolting and this judge negated the immense impact this vile animal torced on 5 innocent children, Jennifer's family, and friends. He's a cold soul, heartless. Shame on our pathetic judicial circus!
Michelle will get to see her daughter and see possible grandchildren. Jennifer won't have that, her mother and children and sister cannot even bury her. They don't even have that. The court nedded to give her 40. "She has a great deal to offer" 17:32 And so did Jennifer, she had a great deal to offer.
Just think, if she had been doing all the wonderful things stated, she wouldn't have had time to fool with evil. Dude didn't care anything about her!!!
I raised three boys into manhood. Although I didn’t have any girls, I would hope that I would raise them to have enough confidence in themselves to choose wisely.
I do think she hates that she got in a relationship with Fortis. But she never thought the man she was in a relationship with would kill his wife and then himself and she getting blamed for the wife’s murder.
Move past the number, be glad she didn’t get her wish of a mistrial. 14 years, in a cage, will be uncomfortable. She will be dining with Kelly Felony and Roberta McManslaughter……what a gem.
We’re seeing so much justice being handed down this week. Us normal people, living our normal lives have no idea what it’s like to live in chaos such as these people. We can make jokes and be happy, but actually everything going on is very tragic. People have to pay for their crimes.
As much as this paltry sentence pisses me off. Tbh. This judge ran a fair and balanced trial, which means MTs chance for an appeal is slim to none. So. Silver lining. Right? 😭 I am shocked he did not give her the maximum sentence. But as with all of his rulings, I am going to assume he feels this is fair for the felonies she has been proven guilty of. We can’t all be legal experts for this state. And just have to hope that MT suffers GREATLY in prison and once out that she leaves our country and NEVER COMES BACK.
Michelle got a light sentence considering her role in her relationship with Fotis Dulos. I am still conflicted regarding how much she knew either before or after Jennifer's death, but her behavior is why she was convicted. She did appear to know, and assist in tampering with evidence. Her behavior convicted her.
20 years is the law based on evidence. Seems somewhat fair. 14.5 years before parole. Very sad for those involved . Especially Jennifer’s children and mother and sister.
Erudite and eloquent judge clearly explained the rationale for sentencing, despite "public opprobrium" that is obviously and incorrectly based upon emotions. "Shame, disrespect, being gutted, disgust" etc etc have no place in the law.
This judges decision in sentencing was a spit in the face of five young children who's momma was brutally ripped out of their lives by this woman; this woman who was having an affair with their father, that tore apart their family, and their cowardly father taking his own life. These children were looking to the courts to bring justice for their mother. These children have no mother or father... by the true definition they are orphans. This judge failed them miserably.
There goes our chance of ever finding Jennifer's body. If michelle would have been sentenced to the utmost maximum amount of years and only be paroled AFTER telling where Jennifer is then she would have told her attorney where she is. Maybe not right away but i can almost bet she would "have a change of heart" after stewing in a cage for about five years. But now she never has to say where Jennifer's body is because she'll be out soon enough. This judge has been great up until sentencing. And we have lost our chance now at ever knowing where Jennifer is. So sad for her babies who are now all growing up so fast without their mom. 💔
I had my doubts about this judge following this trial. He explained all his decisions for each objection & many times didnt make sense. This low sentence is a mockery to justice! Troconis should have rcvd at least 40 years & no 'concurrent' timing.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DARK RUGS ON DISPLAY FOR GUESTS(REMEMBER GUEST SAID TOO DARK FOR HER TASTE) THE NIGHT BEFORE JFD DISAPPEARED, AND WHY DID MT AND POLISH GUY HAVE TO GO GET WOOD TOGETHER IN WHEELBARROW? NEVER DID THAT BEFORE...ARE ALL RUGS ACCOUNTED FOR?? IS WHEELBARROW BACK??
He hung his gf out to dry and if they were not caught, and they were married, I can guarantee that he would have done the same thing to Michelle as he did to Jennifer, leaving her for a younger model and having a full time nanny. I know we say only 20 yrs? But when I think about spending 14yrs in prison, I don't think I could do it
Im not watching no more trials the family got up there and bdgged for justice for jennifer and they got none jennifer gets to have a life but not jennifer uts just awful
This is a lame sentencing. judge seems to want to “educate” the world about his job. Most people know and he over explained. I’d rather him talk about the crime than himself the whole time. 14 years is a fair sentence, however. This crime didn’t need troconis. The crime would’ve happened with or without her involvement. She did wrong. It shouldn’t be a life sentence. I’m sure people will disagree but dulos committed the crime and I don’t believe her involvement was decisive in whether he would’ve done it or not. He would’ve had another scheme with whoever would aid him. Thus, she shouldn’t get a life sentence. I wonder how much of the 14.5 years she actually has to do? 1/2? 3/4?
Well, for a court that doesn't have a bond with the defendant. You sure acted like you did by your sentencing. I gave the judge a chance and gave him the benefit of the doubt In the hope that he would do the right thing. I was extremely disappointed.
Rapists, killers, child molesters...... may sure you get to this judge court cause he will take care of you and all other criminals. What a pitiful judge. I truly feel sorry for the good people of Connecticut.
Im so amazed of this judge at the start...but ...how come this case is...conspiring to commit murder..and yet the sentence is only 14yrs?is it ..bec. its luck of evidence...?so much repeat all evidence and witness to gsther more
THIS JUDGE IS THE MOST ERUDITE I HAVE EVER HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO LISTEN TO; DURING THE TRIAL, JUDGE DETAILED FOR THE JURY & MEMBERS OF THE COURT ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF JURISPRUDENCE, WHICH WAS REMARKABLY DEFINED! I WAS TRULY IMPRESSED AT THIS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE- EVEN THOUGH MT DESERVED LIFE IN PRISON, FOR THE HORRIBLE DEEDS OF COVERING UP THE MURDER OF AN INNOCENT MOTHER OF FIVE CHILDREN- THE JUDGE ACTED UPON THE LAW,AS IT IS WRITTEN I WAS IMPRESSED AT THIS JUDGE’S DISSERTATION! HER CRIMES SHOULD FOLLOW MT FOREVER
The judge is spot on with his statements. The laws are not his decisions but his sworn duty to follow when they are placed by the people we vote for. It’s disgusting. When this happens I try to think of it as 15 years of total isolation and in this case her living in her own mind of all she had and lost. She will be 15 years older and will age harder than if she were free. If she lives through prison she will still not be free when she is released because this will follow her the rest of her life. God bless her children and loved ones for they are what matter.
He is truely a good judge, explaining everything in a content manner. Retribution can not turn into revenge, this is why we trust u judge. Sympathie and Empathie has no place in court and order .
I will no faith in the legal system and I will never serve a jury either we have the most corrupt legal system in the world they always side with the defendant and victims are forgotten about
Mitcheele isnt the only one that was a good mother jennifer way better than her mitchelle took her child around all the drama that her and fotis put them through
God orders to send them home to Him, for justice for their victim(s) now awaiting in Heaven, as all souls good & bad, return to God whom gave them & God is our only & true final judge. Stop allowing & following man's traditions, whom continue to change God's Commandments laws. As Jesus warned still.. For the wages of sin is death. Repent & Stop sinning in thoughts, words & deeds/actions. We all still fall short daily. Thus, that means, we are not once saved.. always saved. Repent Always & Fight the Good Fight in True Faith with God's Full Body of Armour, against all evil deceptions & temptations of satan's evil roaming spirit.
This is a lame sentencing. judge seems to want to “educate” the world about his job. Most people know and he over explained. I’d rather him talk about the crime than himself the whole time. 14 years is a fair sentence, however.
I believe Kent was there at the office with Michelle, to keep her occupied, until Fotis drove to a designated location, to hand off Jennifer's body to Kent. Kent was part of the plan the whole time.
20 years total. She has to serve 14.5 years to apply for a parole. + 5 years probation. The sentencing was concurrent, which is why it’s not 50 or 45 as initially speculated.
So disgusting that people still think that sentencing is just about punishment. That does not bring JD back. After all she did not murder nor does she know where JD is. Fotis did.. and Pavel does also know. People forget rehabilitation. MT absolutely is a person that can rehabilitate and serve society. People want her to be sentenced for what Fotis did. That is ridiculous. 14,5 years for her mistake is right and just
