US Crime · ConnecticutThe former lawyer and friend of the late, estranged husband of Jennifer Dulos, a Connecticut mother of five who went missing in 2019 and is now presumed dead, pleaded guilty Friday to interfering with police in the case. Kent Mawhinney had originally been charged with the more serious crime of conspiracy to commit murder. A court clerk in Stamford confirmed Mawhinney was sentenced to serve 11 months.
