In a surprising turn of events, Michelle Troconis, who was recently found guilty on six charges related to the death of Jennifer Dulos, is now facing an additional charge of criminal contempt of court. The new charge comes after a sealed custody report, meant to remain confidential, was allegedly discovered on Troconis' laptop in open view.
The incident occurred on February 15, during a court hearing, when a friend of Jennifer Dulos notified prosecutors about the accessible sealed custody report. This report, which was not supposed to be accessible to the public, could potentially jeopardize the confidentiality and integrity of the ongoing proceedings.
Michelle Troconis is scheduled to appear in court for arraignment on the contempt charge on March 21. The charge itself is classified as a misdemeanor and her bond was set at a promise to appear.
However, the legal challenges for Troconis do not end there. On May 31, she will also face her sentencing for the charges for which she was found guilty. These charges include conspiracy to commit murder, two counts of conspiracy to commit tampering with physical evidence, two counts of tampering with physical evidence, and hindering prosecution. Collectively, Troconis could potentially face a maximum prison sentence of 50 years for these charges alone.
The guilty verdicts in the case of Jennifer Dulos' disappearance have shed light on the alleged involvement of Michelle Troconis in this heartbreaking crime. As the legal proceedings continue, the court will determine the fate of Troconis and the extent of her culpability in the untimely death of Jennifer Dulos.
