STAMFORD — Kent Mawhinney — the attorney charged in the Jennifer Dulos case — met with investigators weeks before his release from prison and could be trying to work out a deal with prosecutors, according to court documents filed Monday.
Attorney Jon Schoenhorn, representing Michelle Troconis in the case, filed a motion seeking several documents, reports and other evidence, including information gathered from an interview he claims Mawhinney had with state police on Aug. 31.
Schoenhorn is also seeking documents related to any potential deal in connection with a lighter sentence or conviction, according to the motion filed in state Superior Court in Stamford.
Mawhinney, who had been held on $2 million bond since his January arrest on a conspiracy to commit murder charge, was released from prison on Oct. 19. Mawhinney posted $246,000 in cash and real estate after a judge granted his request to visit his sick father in Florida.
In his motion, Schoenhorn is seeking any "confessions" from any co-defendant, including Fotis Dulos, and the dates, times, place and content of any discussions "pertaining to consideration, rewards or understanding regarding favorable treatment, compensation or reward of any kind in exchange for Mawhinney's cooperation with the state, investigation or prosecution of this case."
Mawhinney’s attorneys could not immediately be reached for comment on Monday.
Chief State’s Attorney Richard Colangelo, who is prosecuting the case, declined to comment.
Mawhinney and Troconis have each pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit murder in the case. They are both free on bond, but are each monitored by GPS tracking devices. Troconis has also pleaded not guilty to tampering with evidence and hindering prosecution charges.
Mawhinney is accused of trying to create an alibi for Fotis Dulos the morning of May 24, 2019 when Jennifer Dulos vanished. Fotis Dulos faced murder, kidnapping and other charges when he died in January from an apparent suicide.
In February, Hartford Superior Court Judge Laura F. Baldini mentioned a potential deal when Mawhinney appeared before her on unrelated charges in connection with domestic incidents involving his estranged wife.
Baldini said Mawhinney at the time was in “discussions” with prosecutors in the Dulos case.
Mawhinney was charged in January 2019 by South Windsor police with spousal sexual assault, disorderly conduct and second-degree unlawful restraint. Mawhinney was then charged in June 2019 with violating of a protective order after his estranged wife reported to police a series of incidents involving Fotis Dulos that occurred in the days before Jennifer Dulos went missing.
Mawhinney was a longtime friend of Fotis Dulos and his attorney in several property transactions.
