On Friday, jurors are hearing more of what Troconis told investigators.

Troconis' sister, Claudia Troconis, spoke outside court.
“This is evidently a very hard day for us as well, we are finally seeing how my sister attempted to cooperate not once, not twice, but three times with the police, saying everything, trying to assist them the best that she could in this case and yet she was charged. And this was more than 10 hours of my sister telling them, 'I will do anything to help you. I don’t know anything.' I know everyone wants answers, but my sister is not the right answer, she doesn’t know anything, and she is innocent. Thank you," she said.
n Thursday, jurors heard the first interview that Troconis did with investigators after Jennifer Dulos disappeared. During testimony, the lead investigator brought up inconsistencies.
Outside the courthouse on Thursday, Troconis’ defense Attorney Jon Schoenhorn denied the characterization that Troconis was changing her story and continues to deny that she had any role in the disappearance of Jennifer Dulos.
He expects the video will speak for itself to the jury.
“You have to watch the whole videos and you have to judge for yourself if things that were said were allegedly changed, whether things were being clarified, whether she was being cut off,” Schoenhorn said.

The jury is expected to see two other interviews that Troconis did and more testimony from lead investigator John Kimball is expected.
