HARTFORD, Conn. — A lawyer for Michelle Troconis, the woman accused of conspiring with her former boyfriend Fotis Dulos to commit murder, tried to persuade the Connecticut Supreme Court on Wednesday that her legal team 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 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 in one of the country’s most notorious slayings and suicides.
Jennifer Dulos disappeared and is believed by the police to have been killed by her husband just days after the hearing, which was to determine who had custody of the couple’s children. Her body has not been found. Fotis Dulos later was arrested and charged with her murder, but died by suicide before he could be tried.
