Attorneys offer legal analysis into Jennifer Dulos case

News 12 spoke with a former prosecutor and a current defense attorney who offered a legal analysis in the Jennifer Dulos case.
Dulos, a mother of five, disappeared on May 24. Police found her blood in her home and on items thrown out in trash cans in Hartford. Security footage captured what appeared to be her estranged husband Fotis Dulos and his girlfriend Michelle Troconis dumping the evidence.
They were charged with tampering with or fabricating evidence and hindering prosecution. They pleaded not guilty.
Dulos is now back at home wearing a GPS ankle monitor. He is seemingly going about life as normal – something New Canaan defense attorney Matthew Maddox says would be his advice to a client.
“There is a deliberate strategy here to create images that are consistent with a human being, living a standard type of life – going for a jog – to counteract those very stark images of him in court in an orange jumpsuit,” he says.
Maddox also speculated that Dulos’ defense team has instructed him not to make any comments about the mother of his five children.
“If he's my client, he's keeping his mouth shut,” says Maddox. “I don't care how much anguish he has. He's got to be quiet.”
In court Tuesday, the prosecutor revealed that Fotis Dulos' DNA was found mixed with his wife's blood on her kitchen faucet.
Former prosecutor Kevin Black says the state's attorney is clearly convinced he is going to be able to prove a murder charge in the future. That's one reason why prosecutors tried to get Dulos' bond raised.
Black says law enforcement will continue their investigation until they feel they're uncovered every possible piece of information they can.
“They're going to want to make sure they have their case at a point where they think they can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt because this case is going to be a trial,” says Black.
He added that there have been trials and convictions without a body before, “but it’s hard.”
“The jury really wants to hear that there are no other possible explanations that make sense to them,” says Black.
As for Maddox, he says he’s fascinated by Troconis in this case. She's met with law enforcement but there's been no announced breakthrough in this case.  That leads him to believe she either doesn't have information or doesn't know how to cooperate.
