Defense says records of estranged husband of missing mom will provide an ...

The lawyer for the estranged husband of the missing Connecticut mom said on Tuesday it is 'implausible' that his client killed his wife based off the timeline of the day when she went missing.

Norm Pattis, the attorney representing Fotis Dulos, detailed how the 51-year-old met with his attorney at his Farmington, Connecticut, home until around 9am.

Fotis was arrested two weeks ago and charged with tampering with evidence and hindering prosecution after his wife, Jennifer, 50, vanished on May 24.

Pattis said that phone and computer records would help prove that Fotis has an 'effective alibi defense' and was at home through the morning until his live-in girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, came home at approximately 11am.

'There is no dispute between Mr. Dulos and the state that he was back in Farmington by 1:33 [p.m.],' Pattis said, according to ABC News. 'So to our minds that is an effective alibi.' 

 The lawyer described that Jennifer dropped her children off at 8.30am and that the housekeeper hadn't noticed 'anything amiss' when checking the house at noon. 

Pattis clarified that this only left a four hour window for Fotis to have driven 70 miles to his estranged wife's New Canaan home, where 'he would have had to confront Ms. Dulos in the garage or some other part of the house, kill her, try to clean up, dispose of the body in broad daylight on a well populated section of the state and get back to Farmington.' 

The lawyer continued: 'If the electronic data confirms that his devices were in use at that location, it’ll be an open question whether he was using [the devices] or someone else was... This is the beginning of an effective alibi defense. The alibi is enormous.'

Fotis Dulos left court earlier today after posting $500,000 bond following his not guilty plea to charges relating to the disappearance of his estranged wife Jennifer Dulos.

The 51-year-old, still dressed in his orange jumpsuit, walked out the front of Stamford Superior Court flanked by law enforcement and climbed into a black SUV before being driven off. 

Earlier this afternoon, Fotis had appeared in family court at the Stamford courthouse in handcuffs for a custody hearing for his five children.

He pleaded the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination when his wife’s divorce attorneys asked that he take the stand to testify in the child custody case.

Michael Meehan, guardian lite for the five Dulos children, who are aged eight to 13 years old, said he had visited with them at their grandmother’s home last week and said their emotional and financial needs are being met. 

Lawyers for Jennifer and her mother, Gloria Farber, asked that the grandmother be granted custody of the children who have been staying in her New York City apartment since their mother went missing.

Fotis’ lawyer, Norm Pattis, asked that the status quo be observed with Farber continuing to have temporary custody.

Judge Donna Heller ordered a recess on Tuesday while she came to a decision in the case.

After his arrest, Fotis hired Alex Jones' lawyer, Pattis, who has claimed that there is 'no evidence' to prove his client was involved in 'foul play' despite State's Attorney Richard Colangelo Jr revealing that investigators found Fotis' DNA mixed with his wife's blood on a faucet in the kitchen of her New Canaan home.

On Tuesday, both Fotis and his socialite girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, 44, pleaded not guilty to charges of tampering with evidence and hindering prosecution.

The judge asked that Fotis remain in Connecticut, surrender his passport and be fitted with a GPS monitoring device. He set the next court date for August 2. 

Pattis said: 'There's enormous public interest in the case. Mr Dulos is being tried and convicted in the court of public opinion of a crime he has not yet been charged with. 

'What we know is that Jennifer went missing...We have been able to account for Mr Dulos' movement for all of that time.'  

Pattis said that the prosecution has been 'fueling speculation that there's a dismembered body'.

He called the prosecution's theory 'ludicrous'.

'There is no body we are aware and I'm sick of hearing about it...my client is entitled to the presumption of innocence. 'We don't know where Jennifer is,' Pattis said in court.

Pattis also noted that, at the time of Jennifer's disappearance, the custody case was moving in his client's favor, adding that the court had made 'adverse findings about Jennifer's mental health' which he did not want to put on the record at this time.

According to Pattis, Troconis' lawyer, Andrew Bowman, won't speak with him about what she told Colangelo.

Colangelo asked for the defendant's bond to be increased because the case is 'fluid'.

He told the court that the 'lab was able to confirm that the defendant's DNA was found in a mixture with the victim's blood on the faucet in Jennifer's kitchen'.
