This page covers a seven-week trial influenced by negative media, which contributed to prejudice against Michelle. The court denied her right to a speedy trial by completing jury selection three months early, resulting in the loss of fair and impartial jurors agreed upon by both sides. It reveals police deception and immunity granted to a state witness who was once a suspect. Michelle endured interrogations without an interpreter, and her first attorney failed to protect her constitutional rights. The trial centered on Fotis Dulos, who died by suicide, leaving Michelle to face all of the blame and consequences for a tragic event she had no knowledge of. Now the prime suspect is dead and an innocent woman has been convicted in his place. The prosecutors' closing arguments were so unfair that they violated due process. Additionally, the court blocked Michelle from effective cross-examination and prevented her from presenting a defense by excluding exculpatory information, including testimony about the completed child custody report and May 2019 testimony, while wrongly allowing prejudicial hearsay from the Dulos children's babysitter. For more information, review the appeal motion filed in August.
