Overview
- Defense expert Michael Fitzpatrick testified that Andrew Bowman’s recommendation for Troconis to meet with police on June 2, 2019, and on subsequent dates did not meet Connecticut’s standard of care.
- Fitzpatrick said Bowman should have spent more time preparing Troconis, warned her about the risks of speaking with investigators, and communicated more directly with prosecutors about any potential cooperation.
- Andrew Bowman completed his testimony after describing the challenges of striking cooperation deals and emphasizing that any agreement required full truthfulness from a client.
- Former State’s Attorney Richard Colangelo testified that his plan, before Fotis Dulos’s death, was to use Troconis as a witness against him.
- The state is set to question Fitzpatrick on January 16 in Rockville, as Troconis seeks a new trial while serving a 14½-year sentence.
