Frustrating.

That's how Hartford attorney Jon Schoenhorn described the last few months.

Schoenhorn represents Michelle Troconis, the woman charged with conspiracy to commit murder, tampering with evidence and hindering prosecution in the high-profile May 2019 disappearance of Jennifer Dulos. His client dated the missing woman's husband, Fotis' Dulos.

Since the case started, an unexpected delay: Court closures due to COVID-19. Plus, Schoenhorn claims police and prosecutors have since been slow to hand over information vital to the defense.

"I don't have the DNA material. I have nothing to support any of the allegations against my client. I don't have the interviews with police, which were all recorded," the principal of Jon L. Schoenhorn & Associates said. "I am entitled to this in a prompt manner. The police could get me the video and audio [of police interviews]. I can't even prepare a defense while the courts are closed. The courts are closed, but the police departments are not closed. All of these materials, by statute and law, have to be turned over to the defendant."

According to media reports, Fotis Dulos, who killed himself in late January, and Troconis made several stops in Hartford to get rid of clothing stained with Jennifer Dulos' blood soon after she went missing.

Schoenhorn says much of what is in the police warrant regarding that night is "demonstrably false." For instance, he claims surveillance video shows his client and Fotis Dulos made three stops, not 30, as police contend.

"Three and 30 are not the same thing," Schoenhorn said.

Paul Ferencek, the state's attorney for the Judicial District of Norwalk/Stamford, is now the lead prosecutor in the case. He declined to comment for this report.

Meanwhile, Schoenhorn said the situation is tough for a defense attorney.

"I just can't do my job if I don't have discovery material," he said.

Troconis, who posted bond, remains under house arrest. She needs permission to leave for such things as shopping and legal visits.

"She has a GPS, which is interfering in my ability to represent her," Schoenhorn said. "The state knows everywhere we go, and exactly where we are and for how long. That interferes with my ability to be her attorney."
