HARTFORD, Conn. — The defense for Michelle Troconis, charged in connection with the death of Jennifer Farber Dulos, has filed a motion to dismiss all charges against her after state prosecutors attempted this month to disqualify her lawyer so he could potentially be called as a witness in the court proceedings.
Troconis’ lawyer, attorney John Schoenhorn, also claims in court documents that state prosecutors “impermissibly and deliberately violated the constitutional rights” of Troconis by reviewing, photographing and sharing the contents of a box of potential evidence that could be subject to attorney-client privilege.
“I believe it’s completely meritless and it seems like an effort to interfere with my client’s constitutional right to counsel of her choice,” Schoenhorn said in a phone interview.
