He says he didn't know Michelle Troconis, but he and his wife have been following the trial faithfully because Jennifer Dulos was a close friend of a friend. He says the verdict was something he will never forget.

"When I got the News 12 alert, you know, it reminded me, well this is historical," said Abramowitz. "I went to the News 12 and opened the story, and it was guilty for on all counts, and it was a sigh of relief."
