STAMFORD, Conn. — The booking photo for Michelle Troconis was released by the Connecticut Department of Corrections on Monday.
Troconis was found guilty on all counts for charges connected to the disappearance of New Canaan mom, Jennifer Dulos, after listening to weeks of witness testimony and watching hours of police interviews and surveillance footage. The jury reached the verdict Friday morning and immediately read their decision to the court.
Troconis was found guilty of all six charges, including conspiracy to commit murder, two counts of tampering with physical evidence, two counts of conspiracy to commit tampering with physical evidence and hindering prosecution.
While the jurors were polled as to whether they agreed with the verdict, Troconis sat with her head down, crying, as one of her lawyers rubbed her back. She later rested her head on the table and could be heard sobbing.
A scheduled contempt hearing has been moved to March 21; Troconis allegedly had sealed documents displayed on her laptop in an open court during the trial.
The bond was set to $6 million, and sentencing will occur on May 31.
Traconis' family members were shocked and angered by the verdict, arguing that she is innocent and that the mystery over Jennifer Dulos' disappearance is unfairly being blamed on her.
“Choosing and putting my sister as the guilty person is not the right thing to do because she is innocent,” Traconis' tearful sister, Claudia Troconis-Marmol, said outside the courthouse. She said her family wouldn't stop fighting for Tronconis and called the verdict an injustice.
“My sister will eventually come out,” she said. “She has to because she is innocent of everything she's been charged for.”
"I came many years ago to this country looking for opportunities, freedom and justice," Troconis' father said. "Today we are here, devastated, because there has been a tremendous injustice in my daughter."
Troconis’ lawyer, John Shoenhorn, said he respected the jurors' decision but didn't understand it.

“I’ve been doing this a long time. It’s not like I’m cynical or hardboiled about this, but I truly just don’t see how the jury could have reached this verdict,” he told reporters, adding that “Michelle is devasted."
Shoenhorn said he plans to seek a new trial, noting there are “any number of reasons why the trial itself was not fair." He claims the judge allowed hearsay evidence.
He said that Tronconis likely won't be freed on bond for a couple of days.
A spokesperson for Jennifer Dulos' family, Carrie Luft, thanked the jury, judge, and prosecutors but stressed that a “mother, daughter, sister, cousin and cherished friend” still remains missing.
"Today's verdict is a crucial attribution of accountability, not victory," Carrie Luft, spokesperson for Jennifer's family, said in a statement following the verdict. "There can be no victory when five children are growing up without their mother."
