A 1,000-page brief detailing Michelle Troconis’ legal arguments explains why her convictions in the Jennifer Dulos case should be vacated or overturned for a new trial.
The appellate brief argues that Michelle Troconis’ convictions should be vacated or reversed because prosecutors failed to prove she knew about or participated in Fotis Dulos’ alleged crimes, relying instead on speculation and guilt by association. The filing claims there was insufficient evidence for every conviction, that the trial court blocked key defense evidence—especially information from a sealed custody evaluation central to understanding Troconis’ state of mind—and that police conducted unconstitutional searches and seized her home for days without proper warrants. It further argues that Troconis’ police statements were coerced, that multiple conspiracy charges violated double jeopardy, and that the state withheld potentially exculpatory material.
