I'm posting this timeline as a means of clearly illustrating the judicial and prosecutorial malfeasance of two lawless judges and a rogue prosecutor in their concerted and coordinated efforts to deny me my rights at every turn. You'll note how the prosecution's motions are immediately granted, while the defense's motions are repeatedly not heard or denied outright.
February 7, 2011: Duane Doutel seen with a firearm in Dr. Staw's office.
February 16, 2011: Police are called. Staw gives statement. Duane Doutel arrested for threatening 2nd (C.G.S. 53a-62)
February 25, 2011: Arraignment.
April 20: 2011: Defendant withdraws AR application; pleads not guilty on threatening 2nd; demands jury trial;
May 20, 2011: Before "Judge" Hudock
-
Defendant files Motion to Dismiss (not heard), Motion for Return of Seized Property (not heard), Motion to suspend appearances and/or for immediate trial. Denied.
-
State, without notice to defense, requests to add condition to bond that Doutel not possess firearms or apply for a permit. Court over objection of defense, enters "temporary" order. No hearing scheduled for argument on the temporary order.
-
State objects to pre-trial diversionary programs.
July 5, 2011: Before "Judge" Dennis
-
Substitute information filed for Harrassment 2nd (C.G.S. 53a-183)
-
Protective order entered: Defendant must remain 100 yards away from Sandy Staw, and no firearms allowed.
-
"Judge" Hudock's order still in effect. Still no hearing date scheduled when parties left courtroom.
August 22, 2011: Before "Judge" Dennis
-
Continued hearing on vacating temporary order.
-
Testimony from Dr. Staw. No threatening with firearm during Doutel's visit on February 7. Told by Doutel that he was permitted to carry it. There was no policy to prohibit firearms at the doctor's office, even though Staw had seen Doutel with firearms there at least twice before.
-
Testimony from Sandy Staw: never contacted State's Attorney's office saying she was afraid of Doutel. She only became aware of protective order when it was mailed to her office. She was not consulted before that. She never contacted State's Attorney requesting protective order. Never saw Doutel in possession of, or brandishing a firearm at any point; only knew he had one because Staw told her.
-
Testimony from Janine Roy: Never saw Doutel in possession of, or brandishing a firearm at any point; only knew he had one because Staw told her. Roy never asked for a protective order from police or court.
-
"Judge" Dennis took papers, later denied the motion to vacate, based on nothing more than the tone of defendant's voice in the voicemail he left. Note that it took her three full months to find some reason to deny the motion, even in light of the testimony she had just heard from the prosecution's own witnesses. You would think that a woman who began her legal career as a Public Defender would have some concept of the rights of the accused, but you would be wrong in so thinking.
May 7, 2012: Before "Judge" Hudock
June 29, 2012: Motion for Speedy Trial filed
On or about July 2, 2012: State issues Substitute information, infraction for Creating Public Disturbance

-
Defendant provides notice that case will be appealed
-
Defendant makes oral objection to substitution of the infraction. Denied, assigned July 31 (?) for a Magistrate's trial. State argues that Defendant is no longer entitled to jury trial so the Motion for Speedy Trial is mooted.
-
Defendant requests that current protective order be lifted since NO CRIME is now alleged with Infraction. "So ordered".
