I dint think Wendy actually conspired. But watching and listening to her behavior and speech I see her as a “background” -covert - instigator. I feel she wanted her ex dead, and welcomed “anything you can do” (to Charlie). And her mother did the same but not with as much guile. Wendy’s narcissism lies in her cool, “pleasant” demeanor. I think you might have to be a woman to see through her. I’ve seen her in two cross-exams and in the second one I got the creeps from her. She’s too smooth. Her one or two line responses came across as strangely deceptive to me. Monotone. And strangely still.
Agreed Angelina! That doe-eyed look is very cringe! But when the prosecutor asks her about people being held accountable, your can see her true colors (i.m.o.)
@@karmabeatONs Agreed... my heart hurts for her children and Dan's parents who aren't able to see them much. Hopefully the children will end up in their custody at some point!
She behaves the same way as Lori Vallow. She giggles, expects her charm to control the room....because it works. It even got her family to hire a killer for her. Just like Lori V.
Imho I saw her testimony in another trial and it was different. She had gotten limited immunity. It was totally different. I think she when drove to the crime scene, she knew. I wonder if they told intimated something was going to happen b/c of the calls to bro after & he knew? And her interrogation her heavy sobbing stopped on a dime. When alone she would hyperventilate & stop. She told LE about what her brother said b/c she knew others knew, but setting up her BF was the 😳 moment. It’s like she had a feeling they did it. I wish they could get the mom. We all know she was apart of this from the emails. Her ideas were diabolical. And their entitlement …. Those boys should be awarded to the Markel family. But imagine growing up and finding all this on the internet😳 therapy and run away from that family asap
The fact that she went straight to the murder scene after the murder is HUGE red flag. She went to see how her ex went down. That's why they were showing her brother when she was answering about the "trip to the liquor store". It's one of the bad mistakes that Wendi made.
The fact that she didn’t ask about her children with several police cars and tape around the house is more than a red flag. I will ask what’s going on when I see a number of police cars knowing it has zero to do with me. Any mother would be frantic. Are my children ok? Nothing!!
When Wendi said she didn't know what the indictment was for, my first thought was that when my family has had some sort of xray, CT, blood tests etc, I want to look over the results for myself so I can know what's going on and to be able to explain it to them in a better way, because I'm a nurse and that's part of my areas of expertise. I would expect a lawyer to be the same way about a family member with an indictment. Very suspicious.
Spot on! My ex is attorney as is his brother. If one of my 4 kids gets a ticket, those guys are all over it… send me screenshot. Take it to court, they say. With RNs & those of us in medicine, we would want to see each result bc there is a totality we’re trying to look for. Wendi is incredible as is Charlie!
oh yeah, she never read any available documents about why her brother went to jail?? went to jail for her by the way.,it's the same bull as Donna taking the envelope from the FBI 'extortionist' and not reading it for a few hours , or days i forget. but like sitting on it in her bag for ages. no way!
Did you know the man you were in a relationship with was in love with you? "I don't really remember." Laugh. Smile. (Lie.) She instantly earns the distrust of every woman watching.
Why didn’t Wendi call the markels? She called her mother but couldn’t call the markels in Canada to tell them get on the next flight to the hospital while they keep their son alive??? She makes me sick.
My favorite part of Wendy’s police interview was when she called her parents to tell them Dan was dead. She doesn’t say killed, or murdered. She says he was shot. Then after the call, she says three or four times to the detectives how her parents were surprised when she told them so thats a relief. The hair on my neck went up. She couldn’t stress enough to detectives that there was nothing to see there. Once again, me thinks she doth protest too much. She knows she’s guilty.
He wasn’t dead yet. “Shot” was the correct thing to say! It was definitely odd that she kept referring to her family doing it or to someone doing it on her behalf. If she knew, you would think she’d try her best to keep her family under the radar? At the same time, maybe she understood that her family would be brought up in countless interviews of people in their lives, so she was trying to get ahead of it… I’m positive on the other members of the family, it’s just Wendi I can’t 100% be sure of.
She shaking, but she is also studying videos such as this, so she can be even more of a blank face. She should probably do more Botox the next time. I'm guessing it help at least appear to be telling the truth, and the key is the whole truth. But obviously Georgia, and even probably hundreds of people like me who have really studied this case for some weird reason, no her culpability If she could have kept herself from driving by the crime scene, and if the neighbor hadn't spotted the car, and if Charlie had been smart enough to realize that if sick Fredo called his dads office, then there's a connection that could hang them, so to speak. Three small details made all the difference really. Anyone of them alone might not have done it. Although Sigfredo's phone number was in the dump at the gym.
FINALLY!!! lol I am not complaining, I am ecstatic. Thing is, her brother Charlie Adelson will be testifying 11/2 at 830 am Eastern, so I will be on the replay crew for this. I hope you are watching his body language throughout his trial this week too. Says a lot! Thanks again guys.
Watching Charlie testify was insane. He is that entitled. Remember Casey Anthony’s opening? It was Florida and those juries have come back before w and NG…. But Charlie’s story was so much BS. A man who talks on wires like that wouldn’t hand over 100K in cash and be happy🙄
From listening to the podcast about the murder of Dan Markel, I learned that Wendy HATED Tallahassee & wanted to move back to South Florida with the children. Her mother was overbearing & her brother saw himself as a high class gangster. The killer was given Mr. Adleson's Lexus as part of his payment. The family kept enough fron Wendy so she could have plausible deniability about the murder. She & her whole family are terrible ppl. My heart goes out to the Markel boys (Wendy changed their last names to Adleson), Dan & his parents. The Adlesons have kept Dan's parents from seeing their grandchildren.
She probably masterminded the whole thing and was the only one smart enough to stay clean. Charlie reminds me of the bad guy on every cop show lol he just has that look.
Not only that but Wendy lied in divorce proceedings and hid $250 K from Dan. He knew and was bringing it to court in August with the potential to get Wendy disbarred ( a lawyer lying on a legal proceeding can be a reason to get disbarred). That’s another reason why they had to kill Dan Markel ASAP
She was using Jeff lagasse to have him nearby when her ex was murdered. He tricked her and left town a day early. He and Danny were the only people who really knew the real Wendi.
She told her soon-to-be ex-bf just days before the murder that Charlie connected with a hitman. Once she realized she could no longer frame her bf cuz he would be out of town, she started pointing guilt at Charlie. She was ruthlessly trying to evade becoming a suspect in the upcoming murder.
Hi, Chase! I know how much you ❤ the “Punishment Question”…Georgia actually CLOSED on Wendi with THAT question. Wendi lost her cookies; high chest breathing, yelled her response…Take a look- Gold! 😰 To further that; watch Wendi’s police interview when she makes the statement Georgia refers to; that the responsible ppl should be punished to the fullest extent of the law…UNLESS it’s her brother or family! 😳Hilarious that she, as a lawyer, would actually blurt that out!🙃
Wendi is chillingly stone cold. Drove to the scene of the murder & then went and bought a bottle of BULLET 🔫 whiskey wearing her dark omen owl 🦉 shirt. She is such a sociopath.
@@G.Harley.Davidson oh wow. thank you for explaining! at first i was like, this guy looks NOTHING like Paula Abdul, we’ve got a mental case in the replies
She is playing the cute little girl. Look at me, I couldn’t possibly know anything about this. I’m just an innocent bystander. It was everyone else. Personally I don’t buy it. She comes across as fake and a liar.
Her playing 20 questions about her boyfriends trip, then the murder happens right when he should have been driving near Dan’s house and the killers using a very similar car to the boyfriend tells me she knew what was happening, when it was happening and that she attempted to set him up as the prime suspect is enough proof for me that she was involved in some way
Lots of coincidence as Charlie said. Similar cars of Jeff & hitmen Same time Jeff leaving & murder. Killers knew Dan's schedule that day. The TV repairman was her alibi that day. Happened to tell the hitman joke to repairman that day. She deleted texts as she gets them that's usual.. Right..who does that?
re:ok Cupid...what's going on is Jeff suspected her of cheating because, as a psycologist, he saw multiple signs of deception and her being extremely secretive. She was going to Miami constantly-.dropping off grid. The lawyer is trying to establish that she was finalizing plans for the murder there, and that Jeff saw appropriate signs of secrecy and deception, only they weren't signs of what he though that they were..ie an affair , rather they were signs of murder in the making...
Did she drive by her old street where the victim still lived to make sure there was a crime scene and police there? Big mistake. Many years have gone by so she and her brother have had plenty of time to rehearse their story, feel comfortable with questioning and have an answer for everything. Love you guys!!!
She dragged all her family and so many other people down. Because of her inability to cope with life challenges she had been whinging to her parents, they pressured the brother, he being mom's yes boy contemplated an insane plot. Now there are a bunch of kids with parents in prison, kids orphaned, parents losing their son and a family in prison.
IMO Wendi has been pampered, protected and bailed out by her family her entire life. She is the "princess". Every other member has a role they play to swoop in and fix. I would love to hear more from the brother who is recently estranged from the family. My guess...he refused to play his role.
He did. Rob has done interviews where he stated his parents did not accept his wife because of her religion. They made him marry a Jewish girl earlier and that marriage did not last. This marriage he married for love and they rejected his wife. As I recall they may not have been completely estranged but when the murder happened, Rob cut them off then. I’m not 100% sure on that bc its been a while since I heard the interview but I do remember he seemed suspicious when the arrests started.
My impression, too. I think acting like she's not aware of this help is also part of her role. "An organism does what makes an organism successful" (I hope I didn't butcher Greg Hartley's quote too badly!)
Georgia Cappleman (the state's prosecuting attorney) is great. She is doing a fantastic job. She's been working on this case for years and knows the evidence and players inside and out.
I am familiar with this case because it happened in my hometown. All 4 of you picked up on things that were odd to you. The things you picked up on have to do with the back story. I have to say everyone on the panel did a great job. Thanks guys. 👍👍
I am not a Wendi fan, but I know people who laugh, chuckle, smile when they are upset or nervous. This family dynamic is messed up. It could be a defense mechanism from her childhood. Mama Donna does seem a bit um… shall we say-“controlling.”
Wendi saw the yellow crime scene tape near Danny's house and thought maybe a tree had fallen? Our city tree trimmers do not use crime scene tape when marking off an area while removing fallen trees. They use Danger or Caution tape of a different color.
Chase, when you said knowing baseline is 50times more important than memorizing a list, I realized something. Women, especially wives ‘just know’ when their partners cheat on them, and it’s because they know their partners baseline. You don’t even have to be asking questions, you just see it in their behavior.
Lol I think there are a bunch of women who would disagree with you. In general though, it's pretty easy to tell when someone you're close to is lying or hiding something..
You guys are awesome. I’ve always been fascinated with true crime. My dad has passed away but he was a Sheriff in Stockton, Ca. He spent most of his career in Technical Service. Back then when it was really messy doing fingerprints. I looked up to him and always asked him things like, “what do you think happened to the East Side Rapist?” He passed away and one of the things I miss is asking him “do you think he’s guilty?” You guys have kinda filled that whole for me. I plan on becoming a subscriber as soon as I get some money ahead. I have my sister and cousin and her husband watching you guys now. Thank You,
@@godzillamanstreb524 Usually, that IS how immunity works. If you lie on the stand, it breaks the terms of your immunity agreement, and they can then go after you. Maybe they'll catch her a few years down the road if she want 100% straight with them.
The immunity Wendi received does not mean she cannot be prosecuted for any crime involving Dan's murder. The immunity she received means none of the testimony she provided here, in her brothers case, can ever be used against her.
Even her Mom said Wendi is a good little actress when she wants to be, and she is acting when Georgia is questioning her on the stand, play dumb and pretend to know nothing.
Scott you are right about her knowing how many days she and the children would leave for after her ex husbands murder. She wanted to move with the children to South Florida and he basically said "nope, you are not taking my kids" and the courts agreed with him. They said she couldn't move the kids away against his wishes. So, the only way that would happen is if he was gone... oh how convenient he was killed. Her police interviews are really creepy too. She seemed relieved, not distraught. I was stunned she isn't being tried as well.
What you guys didn’t know was that Wendy and her family tried to frame her boyfriend for the murder. It didn’t work because he changed his travel plans. I don’t know what her immunity consists of but I sure hope she gets arrested. She knew exactly what was going to happen. She drove near the crime scene and never called her ex to see if he was ok.
Sending Scott hugs. I always thought you went last on purpose as the anchor binding it all in place. Love you all and keep in mind, there are people who enjoy making rude and mean comments just to ruin your day. Don’t let them.
She had 9 years to prepare for the trial. She took longer route to have a glimpse on crime scene, she bought "Bullet" whiskey . Maybe she wasn't aware about the plan since day 1, but she knew everything about it and definitely she was the one who told Dan's day schedule to the killers and the fact he was not going to be in town next day. She is as guilty as her brother and mother. What a family 😳 hope the justice will be served for Dan , RIP 🙏
Man o man, I can't think she is too darn smart after all she swore to tell the truth and sat there for all to see and hear her tell a bunch of obvious lies and even more obvious fake behavior and thought she could pull it over our eyes and ears. To me, all of that is dumb.
I think you've missed the point of the foster care situation. If Wendi were arrested, the children would be put into the system, and Dan's parents specified that they would pick up the children, so the facility would be temporary until they arrived from Canada.
I believe Wendi's MO is the innocent, oblivious, fantasy world child. This is a reason that her mom and brother took care of the ugly situation for her and she just floats on the edges. I believe she probably doesn't read the ugly details or listens to the tapes with the ugly details because that is her assigned role in the family dynamic. Everyone will take care of things for her and she doesn't need to worry her pretty little head about it. Family dynamics ruined her marriage, murdered her ex-husband and ruined her kids' lives.
Just watch Wendi’s police interview and you can see that not even thirty minutes into that hours long interview she mentions Charlie as a potential murderer. She throws everyone she can under the bus in that interview.
Thanks guys. I'm writing a blog post on the case against Wendi Adelson. Your body language stuff was bang on at each pressure point of my theory of the case against her. Helped firm up my theory... And Scott, my theory is way beyond just guilty knowledge - she was in on it (and she has been named in the ast as an unindicted co-conspirator). So useful. That's why I liked and subscribed a long time ago and so enjoy how much I keep learning.🙂
It freaks me out on a daily basis, in most interactions, thinking how fucked up some people are, and the ease in which they are fucked up. Like ZERO problem being fucked up.
Re: Video timestamp 2:42:49 to Scott and the whole team, if you really do read all the comments then I would really like you to read this one from a very long time listener and very limited commenter. For everyone who makes a strange, pedantic, "pseudoscience" comments, I can only imagine there are so many listeners just like me, who have nothing negative to say. I scrolled back to see when I first started listening to you guys and it was 3 years ago - Prince Andrew. It looks like about 2 years ago I must have subscribed and started getting notifications because I have listened to almost every video since then, and I say listen because I put my airpods in and I clean my house, I turn over my airbnb rental, I work if the work task allows it (tisk tisk) etc. I stop and watch the clip, then I listen to the analysis. I have notifications on and I eagerly anticipate each new video being released. Way too long story short, I just wanted to say that I am so certain that there are so many people like me, people who don't get into the comments regularly, people who don't really have anything to say about the videos except for thank you, that was so interesting, that was so educational, these videos are a such an enjoyable little part of my day to day life. So that's all. For all the happy quiet backgrounders I just wanted to say "thank you".... from Toronto, Canada with lots of love and admiration!!! BTW - Colonel Russell Williams was my most impactful watch but also probably because it was Canada and I have a son in the military. Wow!!!!!
So much this! Also an avid "listener" from Toronto, and everything you said is so true from the quality you treat us to, to my lack of commenting, and the anticipation of every episode. Have been loving you all since the lockdown, where it gave me stability in weeks that had nothing to pin down time to. Kept me sane then, and now I just purely enjoy it. Thanks guys!
Dang, now I am totally invested in this case. I know there has already been a verdict but if you can find a way to squeeze them in, please do the brother's and ex-boyfriend's testimonies. Thanks! Love you guys!
Wow! All of you saw the interesting way Wendi reached for the binder with both hands. I saw her as very stiff and rigid in that reach and full of anxiety at the least and maybe even fear or terror. The problem Wendi had with Mr. Lacasse is that she was NEVER attracted to him. She was using him to lure him into this plan to murder divorced husband and blame the murder on him. That seems very obvious to me. What do you think?
There is something so unlikable about her that I can't put a finger on. Now after ten years I don't expect her to cry about Dan Merkel but damn the smiling and doe eyed lowered voice is driving me nuts.
Regarding the nostril flaring- it's botox. The face wants to show emotion, so it will find ways to adapt against the 'tox. I never flared my nostrils until I couldn't scowl anymore post Botox. Reading facial expressions with current botox use could be a whole new study.
Wendi tells her ex-boyfriend, “ My brother told me that he had thought of hiring a hit man to kill my ex-husband.” She knew nothing about him actually doing it. Yeah right.🤦♂️🤪
Bingo ... I'd like the Behavior Panel to analyze her interrogation video. Her shock and grief were not real, in fact a very bad actin g job. Her tears would always dry up immediately each time they asked questions about her alibi ... and she always had immediate answers about where she was, with exact times that the repairman came and left that day .. in the midst of all that feigned grief and shock, her memory of times and places was crystal clear. Also, 2 hours to hook up her cable?? She said, "Well I scheduled a repair between 8 and 12, but he came very early" ... why would you show disappointment that he came so early , except that you needed that alibi a little later in the morning?
@@kaytaylormath All the more reason I find it odd that she wasted so much time driving out of her way to the liquor store if she was meeting friends for lunch.
Wendi was the one who sent a text message to Dan to confirm his availability the week of July 14th - 18th in Tallahassee. The hitmen rented the car on July 15th and went to Tallahassee on the 16th. Dan was killed on the 18th. Again, in conversations between Charlie and Donna after the bump, they discussed whether they should let Wendi know. And they said it would scare her. Charlie said she has been scared since day one. (Will go back and listen to more of that recording). So, she knew. She arranged the time and place for the murder.
She tried to set up Jeff Lacasse. She drove up to the murder scene, did a 3 point turn, and left. She doesn't inquire to police about what happened, calls NO ONE, not even about her kids .. nothing. She had to see if the job was done. Even her real estate agent called her because of the police presence on Dan's street. She just continues on with her day running errands and going to lunch. She's a liar and up to her eyeballs in this murder for hire. Of her children's father! This family is sick.
@@absinthemindedJi know right?! Your kids are with your ex and you see major police activity and ambulance on that very location. Would you just drive away? That’s what Wendy did. She didn’t try to call Dan or check on the kids at school or even call Dan. She knew exactly what happened
Greg you nailed the response to the snake oil theory. You are the four musketeers!! You know your stuff, and I absolutely love your show! One thing... I loved how she briefly snagged a glance over to her brother when it was revealed during her testimony that she talks about the joking comments her brother makes about hiring a hit man. Being that she said that she was super close to Charie; that swift glance proves that she knows she blew it under pressure and revealed a trail of bread crumbs away from her and entirely leaving the whole loaf on her brother's plate. Enjoyed this one a lot, guys. Thanks❤
The amount of contempt and disdain in Wendi's face when the DA asked if those responsible should be held accountable was clear to me. Wendi seems like she just wants this to go away, like her ex went away, and the boy's paternal side of the family. To alienate the boys from their Dad's family, which happened after she let them see them the day of the funeral, is cruel to those boys who lost their Dad. Wendi likes to say it's because of the foster care comment, but that was solely until family could get to them if Wendi was arrested.... so maybe a day or two, possibly a week. Wendi and her family have actively alienated those boys from their paternal grandparents... otherwise, they would have shared the boys once Wendi realized she wouldn't be arrested. This is one sick family.
@@Herewearenowentertainus Charlie’s comment on the stand that three- and four-year olds can’t remember or repeat comments was ridiculous. I used to embarrass my parents all the time, dropping f-bombs at the grocery store, calling kids at preschool “Yakima pig farmers” (my grandpa’s favorite insult, for some reason), or doing my famous Julia Child impression, all before I began kindergarten. They were definitely keeping those boys from their grandparents and doing parental alienation all along. Horrible, selfish monsters.
@tiffd98133 People who do these selfish things usually end up with troubled kids down the road. They seem to not give it a second thought. Those kids will always know something is very wrong, even if they don't get the full story. Sick.
oh yeah. The Markels j haven't seen those kids in about 6 years. just coming to light are sadistic plans by Donna to get the kids to wear Nazi costumes one time to upset Dan. another tactic to bully him into giving up the fight was to convert the kids to Catholicism. real nasty stuff to get a rise out of him, with the kids as the bait every time . and Wendi painting Dan as abusive to her ex boyfriend , oh and keeping him around just long enough o try make him the fall guy for the murder. she didn't want him, she had a new guy in Florida. she wanted him in town specifically on the day of the murder. and for the first murder attempt but they just tailed Dan, the hitmen hired a car that looked like the ex boyfriends. Wendi was weirdly insistent wanting to know if he would be in town on Friday,t he murder day even though they had just broken up. he was like, you're breaking up with me, why do you want to know what i'm doing Friday? Her eyes are cold just like Charlie's, no sadness for Dan in there at all.
Dan Markel’s mom did not want the kids in foster care. Her concern was if the Adelson family was arrested for Dan’s murder she wanted them to go to a Jewish foster care until they could get there from Toronto.
I think the dad was out by the window bc they were scared the cops were coming for them. She may not recall the details of the convo but it’s HIGHLY unbelievable that she didn’t remember telling her brother the father of her kids was killed. That’s something you wouldn’t forget. I even remember telling my brother’s gf and university when he passed. Having to make those calls was very difficult.
Re Chase's warning about not training the jury to tune you out by being boring -- Adelson's attorney should take that to heart, based on his closing statement for this trial. He droned on for a couple of hours.
Yes he talked loudly at times thinking that it was making an impact but even with the closing statement it shouldn't have to take up to 4 hrs or more. He seemed to be more convinced by himself than anyone else? Jmo
Reading news articles, the ex mother in law contacted a certain foster care, not to put the kids in, like Wendi is suggesting. But contacted them, to put emergency measures in should she be arrested and the kids had somewhere to go rather the CAS taking them.

Can’t wait to see the review of Charlie Adelson testimony!!
I dint think Wendy actually conspired. But watching and listening to her behavior and speech I see her as a “background” -covert - instigator. I feel she wanted her ex dead, and welcomed “anything you can do” (to Charlie). And her mother did the same but not with as much guile. Wendy’s narcissism lies in her cool, “pleasant” demeanor. I think you might have to be a woman to see through her. I’ve seen her in two cross-exams and in the second one I got the creeps from her. She’s too smooth.

Her “clueless, happy idiot” act is annoying and unconvincing.

Excellent description!😂😂😂
The fact that she went straight to the murder scene after the murder is HUGE red flag. She went to see how her ex went down. That's why they were showing her brother when she was answering about the "trip to the liquor store". It's one of the bad mistakes that Wendi made.

Truth!
When Wendi said she didn't know what the indictment was for, my first thought was that when my family has had some sort of xray, CT, blood tests etc, I want to look over the results for myself so I can know what's going on and to be able to explain it to them in a better way, because I'm a nurse and that's part of my areas of expertise. I would expect a lawyer to be the same way about a family member with an indictment. Very suspicious.
Spot on! My ex is attorney as is his brother. If one of my 4 kids gets a ticket, those guys are all over it… send me screenshot. Take it to court, they say. With RNs & those of us in medicine, we would want to see each result bc there is a totality we’re trying to look for. Wendi is incredible as is Charlie!
In prior trials she claimed not to know what contempt of court was ...😂 … right there on the stand in her “same dress different trial” fashion phase.
oh yeah, she never read any available documents about why her brother went to jail??
went to jail for her by the way.,it's the same bull as Donna taking the envelope from the FBI 'extortionist' and not reading it for a few hours , or days i forget. but like sitting on it in her bag for ages. no way!
@@TentinQuarantino_ Maybe she’ll go BUST for HER trial! Change it up a bit!
Did you know the man you were in a relationship with was in love with you?
"I don't really remember." Laugh. Smile. (Lie.)
She instantly earns the distrust of every woman watching.
Precisely!! Ugh I hate her 😂
She is guilty as the day is long. What a despicable family.
Why didn’t Wendi call the markels? She called her mother but couldn’t call the markels in Canada to tell them get on the next flight to the hospital while they keep their son alive??? She makes me sick.
My favorite part of Wendy’s police interview was when she called her parents to tell them Dan was dead. She doesn’t say killed, or murdered. She says he was shot. Then after the call, she says three or four times to the detectives how her parents were surprised when she told them so thats a relief. The hair on my neck went up. She couldn’t stress enough to detectives that there was nothing to see there. Once again, me thinks she doth protest too much. She knows she’s guilty.
She knows she’s guilty bc she is….excellent observation….hope Georgia reads your comment!
He lived 14 hours, didn't he?
He wasn’t dead yet. “Shot” was the correct thing to say! It was definitely odd that she kept referring to her family doing it or to someone doing it on her behalf. If she knew, you would think she’d try her best to keep her family under the radar? At the same time, maybe she understood that her family would be brought up in countless interviews of people in their lives, so she was trying to get ahead of it… I’m positive on the other members of the family, it’s just Wendi I can’t 100% be sure of.
I will NEVER BELIEVE that she has never looked at his indictment!!! Windi needs to get ARRESTED next along with her mom!
I think they will go after Donna ,the Mom first as they have more on her,then Wendi !
Love how the guys stick to their turns and don't interrupt one another-- but on the rare occasion they do politely interrupt, it's always worth it!!!
Wendy was involved with the murder. She is Guilty.
Definitely…..it’s just a matter of time
I concur. And, given that she has stated that she is a contortionist would probably explain why she has such good control over her body on the stand.
There’s no way the defendant’s lawyer sister didn’t read the indictment. No way! 😂
Wonder if she’s shaking in her boots now her bros been locked up for life!??
She shaking, but she is also studying videos such as this, so she can be even more of a blank face. She should probably do more Botox the next time. I'm guessing it help at least appear to be telling the truth, and the key is the whole truth.
But obviously Georgia, and even probably hundreds of people like me who have really studied this case for some weird reason, no her culpability
If she could have kept herself from driving by the crime scene, and if the neighbor hadn't spotted the car, and if Charlie had been smart enough to realize that if sick Fredo called his dads office, then there's a connection that could hang them, so to speak. Three small details made all the difference really. Anyone of them alone might not have done it.
Although Sigfredo's phone number was in the dump at the gym.
She is guilty too. The whole family knew there was a murder for hire. They all should be in jail.
Wendi is NOT on her brother's side. She is out for herself. Wendi will be arrested sooner or later.
FINALLY!!! lol I am not complaining, I am ecstatic. Thing is, her brother Charlie Adelson will be testifying 11/2 at 830 am Eastern, so I will be on the replay crew for this. I hope you are watching his body language throughout his trial this week too. Says a lot! Thanks again guys.
I will probably switching to and from with the channels tomorrow
Watching here while they are on lunch break there!
Watching Charlie testify was insane. He is that entitled. Remember Casey Anthony’s opening? It was Florida and those juries have come back before w and NG…. But Charlie’s story was so much BS. A man who talks on wires like that wouldn’t hand over 100K in cash and be happy🙄
This is the 3rd time she’s been on the stand and she’s a lawyer. She’s mirroring him and she’s practiced.
Her general perky attitude was strange, given the severity of the crime and the fact her brother is on trial for instigating the murder. Odd very odd.
…and the fact that HER ex-husband, father of her two little boys, was the one murdered. Who smiles on the witness stand at such a time?
Wendi, the ultimate manipulator, easily manipulated and sacrificed her brother and mother to get what she wants. Bravo, bravo👏 What a performance.
She is the reason why her children does not have a father. Wendi Adelson is deeply creepy. 🥶
From listening to the podcast about the murder of Dan Markel, I learned that Wendy HATED Tallahassee & wanted to move back to South Florida with the children.
Her mother was overbearing & her brother saw himself as a high class gangster.
The killer was given Mr. Adleson's Lexus as part of his payment. The family kept enough fron Wendy so she could have plausible deniability about the murder.
She & her whole family are terrible ppl.
My heart goes out to the Markel boys (Wendy changed their last names to Adleson), Dan & his parents. The Adlesons have kept Dan's parents from seeing their grandchildren.
Indeed. And narcissist Charlie goes on the stand again tomorrow.
She probably masterminded the whole thing and was the only one smart enough to stay clean. Charlie reminds me of the bad guy on every cop show lol he just has that look.
Not only that but Wendy lied in divorce proceedings and hid $250 K from Dan. He knew and was bringing it to court in August with the potential to get Wendy disbarred ( a lawyer lying on a legal proceeding can be a reason to get disbarred). That’s another reason why they had to kill Dan Markel ASAP

She was using Jeff lagasse to have him nearby when her ex was murdered. He tricked her and left town a day early. He and Danny were the only people who really knew the real Wendi.
Her behavior appeared to me as a well seasoned liar. Facial expressions…eyes are deer in headlights.
She told her soon-to-be ex-bf just days before the murder that Charlie connected with a hitman. Once she realized she could no longer frame her bf cuz he would be out of town, she started pointing guilt at Charlie. She was ruthlessly trying to evade becoming a suspect in the upcoming murder.
Hi, Chase! I know how much you ❤ the “Punishment Question”…Georgia actually CLOSED on Wendi with THAT question. Wendi lost her cookies; high chest breathing, yelled her response…Take a look- Gold! 😰 To further that; watch Wendi’s police interview when she makes the statement Georgia refers to; that the responsible ppl should be punished to the fullest extent of the law…UNLESS it’s her brother or family! 😳Hilarious that she, as a lawyer, would actually blurt that out!🙃
Wendi is chillingly stone cold. Drove to the scene of the murder & then went and bought a bottle of BULLET 🔫 whiskey wearing her dark omen owl 🦉 shirt. She is such a sociopath.
I was wondering if she did this to point the finger at Charlie. Charlie’s name was the first she mentioned in her police interview.
*Bulleit
I have seen a lot of people comment on the owl shirt, I don’t understand though. What is the meaning?
@@yepisaidit1855 It's believed in some superstitions that it's bad luck to see an owl during the day and is an omen of a tragedy coming soon.
Wendi knew her ex husband was goin to be murdered, this family knows everything about each other.
I was at the trial. She and her family are cold hearted snakes.

She is playing the cute little girl. Look at me, I couldn’t possibly know anything about this. I’m just an innocent bystander. It was everyone else.
Personally I don’t buy it. She comes across as fake and a liar.
what's crazy is how far from cute she is. She's really not attractive.
Her playing 20 questions about her boyfriends trip, then the murder happens right when he should have been driving near Dan’s house and the killers using a very similar car to the boyfriend tells me she knew what was happening, when it was happening and that she attempted to set him up as the prime suspect is enough proof for me that she was involved in some way
Lots of coincidence as Charlie said.
Similar cars of Jeff & hitmen
Same time Jeff leaving & murder.
Killers knew Dan's schedule that day.
The TV repairman was her alibi that day.
Happened to tell the hitman joke to repairman that day.
She deleted texts as she gets them that's usual.. Right..who does that?
re:ok Cupid...what's going on is Jeff suspected her of cheating because, as a psycologist, he saw multiple signs of deception and her being extremely secretive. She was going to Miami constantly-.dropping off grid. The lawyer is trying to establish that she was finalizing plans for the murder there, and that Jeff saw appropriate signs of secrecy and deception, only they weren't signs of what he though that they were..ie an affair , rather they were signs of murder in the making...
Bingo.
Her memory is SO MUCH better when her lawyer is questioning her
Did she drive by her old street where the victim still lived to make sure there was a crime scene and police there? Big mistake. Many years have gone by so she and her brother have had plenty of time to rehearse their story, feel comfortable with questioning and have an answer for everything. Love you guys!!!
Wendi wanted to see Dan's crime scene. Her kids daddy who loved them so much but didnt treat Wendi as a spoiled princess.🥺💔
She dragged all her family and so many other people down. Because of her inability to cope with life challenges she had been whinging to her parents, they pressured the brother, he being mom's yes boy contemplated an insane plot. Now there are a bunch of kids with parents in prison, kids orphaned, parents losing their son and a family in prison.
Please, please observe Wendy’s police interrogation! We’d LOVE to hear you’re interpretation. I think we all believe it’s total BS. 🙄
I know I just watched it ... Amazing you would never guess it's the same woman
Her police interrogation is ridiculous! What's up with the mountain of tissues she was piling up on that table? Symbolic of her lies?
The dupers delight in the police interrogation is SO weird. She smiles so much in that interrogation. It's unbelievably creepy.
She absolutely had something to do with this
IMO Wendi has been pampered, protected and bailed out by her family her entire life. She is the "princess". Every other member has a role they play to swoop in and fix. I would love to hear more from the brother who is recently estranged from the family. My guess...he refused to play his role.
He did. Rob has done interviews where he stated his parents did not accept his wife because of her religion. They made him marry a Jewish girl earlier and that marriage did not last. This marriage he married for love and they rejected his wife. As I recall they may not have been completely estranged but when the murder happened, Rob cut them off then. I’m not 100% sure on that bc its been a while since I heard the interview but I do remember he seemed suspicious when the arrests started.
My impression, too. I think acting like she's not aware of this help is also part of her role. "An organism does what makes an organism successful" (I hope I didn't butcher Greg Hartley's quote too badly!)
"You let police search your car, phone, house, computer?" "Yes" she was only TOO willing because she cleared all tech stuff beforehand 😂
Those were all secondary electronic devices, her main devices were probably the first things pack and moved to southern Florida.
Georgia Cappleman (the state's prosecuting attorney) is great. She is doing a fantastic job. She's been working on this case for years and knows the evidence and players inside and out.
Do you know the name of the other prosecutor?
@@KaLeCaFe Sarah Dugan
Georgia is sick of Charlie though! And so am I!!!!
I loved her little sarcastic comments when she cross-examined Charlie. I had to pause I was laughing so hard.
I am familiar with this case because it happened in my hometown. All 4 of you picked up on things that were odd to you. The things you picked up on have to do with the back story. I have to say everyone on the panel did a great job. Thanks guys. 👍👍
Is it just me or does anyone else notice that she's got a humorous tone in her voice? Like she's about to laugh and is taking this casually.
Yes. Watched her police interview? Just unbelievable
Yes, weird and scary at the same time.
I am not a Wendi fan, but I know people who laugh, chuckle, smile when they are upset or nervous. This family dynamic is messed up. It could be a defense mechanism from her childhood. Mama Donna does seem a bit um… shall we say-“controlling.”
Wendi saw the yellow crime scene tape near Danny's house and thought maybe a tree had fallen? Our city tree trimmers do not use crime scene tape when marking off an area while removing fallen trees. They use Danger or Caution tape of a different color.
I grew up in Tallahassee. There are lots of trees, but they never use crime scene tape & cop cars to deal with downed branches.
Maybe the tree hit a tree hugger😥
Even if she thought it was a downed tree , she wasn't concerned if the kids were ok? The kids were in Dan's house that night and morning.
Yes!
she should be on trial. her mom should be, too
My heart breaks for Dan´s parents. You can see his mom in the background looking so sad.
They asked did you like living in Tallahassee and she said yes. Lies
She'll be on trial eventually, as will her mother.
What kind of dad would sit "outside your window"? WTF? More like sit inside your house. Her whole demeanor was FAKE FAKE FAKE.
Chase, when you said knowing baseline is 50times more important than memorizing a list, I realized something. Women, especially wives ‘just know’ when their partners cheat on them, and it’s because they know their partners baseline. You don’t even have to be asking questions, you just see it in their behavior.
Lol I think there are a bunch of women who would disagree with you. In general though, it's pretty easy to tell when someone you're close to is lying or hiding something..
@@gslang3489 if a woman marries a liar but doesn’t ever know their real baseline bc they’re perhaps a sociopath, it’s hard to know what’s what.
He was found GUILTY! Her words sank him.
You're kidding? I don't know anything about this case.. was there real evidence to put him away for life , I'm hoping?
@@Hx3ney yes, mountains of it.
You guys are awesome. I’ve always been fascinated with true crime. My dad has passed away but he was a Sheriff in Stockton, Ca. He spent most of his career in Technical Service. Back then when it was really messy doing fingerprints. I looked up to him and always asked him things like, “what do you think happened to the East Side Rapist?” He passed away and one of the things I miss is asking him “do you think he’s guilty?” You guys have kinda filled that whole for me. I plan on becoming a subscriber as soon as I get some money ahead. I have my sister and cousin and her husband watching you guys now.
Thank You,
I spelled hole wrong. Embarrassing
You can edit it :)
Wendi Adelson is GUILTY
Wendi only has immunity if she's being truthful. If they find she is lying, then the deal is off.
Is that how it really works??
Can you explain why she was given immunity for her testimony? Thank you!!
@@godzillamanstreb524 Usually, that IS how immunity works. If you lie on the stand, it breaks the terms of your immunity agreement, and they can then go after you. Maybe they'll catch her a few years down the road if she want 100% straight with them.
The immunity Wendi received does not mean she cannot be prosecuted for any crime involving Dan's murder. The immunity she received means none of the testimony she provided here, in her brothers case, can ever be used against her.
Wow I’ve been asking for this and waiting for this one for a while! Can’t wait. Thanks guys
I swear I become more observant with every episode. Thanks to you all for being such good teachers. I love exercising this old brain of mine.
Even her Mom said Wendi is a good little actress when she wants to be, and she is acting when Georgia is questioning her on the stand, play dumb and pretend to know nothing.
Scott you are right about her knowing how many days she and the children would leave for after her ex husbands murder. She wanted to move with the children to South Florida and he basically said "nope, you are not taking my kids" and the courts agreed with him. They said she couldn't move the kids away against his wishes. So, the only way that would happen is if he was gone... oh how convenient he was killed. Her police interviews are really creepy too. She seemed relieved, not distraught. I was stunned she isn't being tried as well.
I’m at the trial for her brother Charlie. Things aren’t looking very good for him after he testified today, and I mean ALL day.
Thank you for giving us the update about the jury.
He was found guilty on all counts
What you guys didn’t know was that Wendy and her family tried to frame her boyfriend for the murder. It didn’t work because he changed his travel plans. I don’t know what her immunity consists of but I sure hope she gets arrested. She knew exactly what was going to happen. She drove near the crime scene and never called her ex to see if he was ok.
You don't know that! Maybe Katie did, she saw Jeff's car before!🤷
@@jolo7693 I believe she knew. I watched all of Charlie’s trial.
She’s also a lawyer, so she knows how this all works. But later on she seems to be coming undone. I too am surprised she had not read the indictment
Guys…. Her facial expressions remind me of Elizabeth Holmes. She stares intensely. Yes? Or ?
Wendi lied her ass off when Georgia was grilling her i mean she remembered nothing NOT even what she got her dad for his 70th birthday 😅😅😅
It would be interesting to see you analyze Wendi's interview with police immediately following the murder.

I caught that, when Scott said “thank you for helping in my healing”. What is he talking about? That comment made me sad.
Justice for Dan Markel & his family 💙🇮🇱🙏
Wendi is now as popular as Casey Anthony in my opinion. I just hope she doesn’t get away with it the same as Casey did.
She had 9 years to prepare for the trial. She took longer route to have a glimpse on crime scene, she bought "Bullet" whiskey . Maybe she wasn't aware about the plan since day 1, but she knew everything about it and definitely she was the one who told Dan's day schedule to the killers and the fact he was not going to be in town next day. She is as guilty as her brother and mother. What a family 😳 hope the justice will be served for Dan , RIP 🙏
She 100% knew about SG watching them at dinner…they talked about it in the previous trials. No way she didn’t watch the trials. 😂
She’s highly intelligent and very calculated. This is all a charade to keep from getting indicted.
Man o man, I can't think she is too darn smart after all she swore to tell the truth and sat there for all to see and hear her tell a bunch of obvious lies and even more obvious fake behavior and thought she could pull it over our eyes and ears. To me, all of that is dumb.
I think you've missed the point of the foster care situation. If Wendi were arrested, the children would be put into the system, and Dan's parents specified that they would pick up the children, so the facility would be temporary until they arrived from Canada.
I believe Wendi's MO is the innocent, oblivious, fantasy world child. This is a reason that her mom and brother took care of the ugly situation for her and she just floats on the edges. I believe she probably doesn't read the ugly details or listens to the tapes with the ugly details because that is her assigned role in the family dynamic. Everyone will take care of things for her and she doesn't need to worry her pretty little head about it. Family dynamics ruined her marriage, murdered her ex-husband and ruined her kids' lives.
Just watch Wendi’s police interview and you can see that not even thirty minutes into that hours long interview she mentions Charlie as a potential murderer. She throws everyone she can under the bus in that interview.
Yep. Her brother may be quite irritated w her!
Narcissistic deflection
@@marygoff3332 He appeared visibly irritated when the ex BF mentioned her remarks about her brother contemplating hiring a hit man.
Wendi was the primary "beneficiary" of the murder of Dan Markel.
Thanks guys. I'm writing a blog post on the case against Wendi Adelson. Your body language stuff was bang on at each pressure point of my theory of the case against her. Helped firm up my theory...
And Scott, my theory is way beyond just guilty knowledge - she was in on it (and she has been named in the ast as an unindicted co-conspirator).
So useful. That's why I liked and subscribed a long time ago and so enjoy how much I keep learning.🙂

Re: Video timestamp 2:42:49 to Scott and the whole team, if you really do read all the comments then I would really like you to read this one from a very long time listener and very limited commenter. For everyone who makes a strange, pedantic, "pseudoscience" comments, I can only imagine there are so many listeners just like me, who have nothing negative to say. I scrolled back to see when I first started listening to you guys and it was 3 years ago - Prince Andrew. It looks like about 2 years ago I must have subscribed and started getting notifications because I have listened to almost every video since then, and I say listen because I put my airpods in and I clean my house, I turn over my airbnb rental, I work if the work task allows it (tisk tisk) etc. I stop and watch the clip, then I listen to the analysis. I have notifications on and I eagerly anticipate each new video being released. Way too long story short, I just wanted to say that I am so certain that there are so many people like me, people who don't get into the comments regularly, people who don't really have anything to say about the videos except for thank you, that was so interesting, that was so educational, these videos are a such an enjoyable little part of my day to day life. So that's all. For all the happy quiet backgrounders I just wanted to say "thank you".... from Toronto, Canada with lots of love and admiration!!! BTW - Colonel Russell Williams was my most impactful watch but also probably because it was Canada and I have a son in the military. Wow!!!!!
Couldn’t have said it better myself ❤
So much this!
Also an avid "listener" from Toronto, and everything you said is so true from the quality you treat us to, to my lack of commenting, and the anticipation of every episode. Have been loving you all since the lockdown, where it gave me stability in weeks that had nothing to pin down time to. Kept me sane then, and now I just purely enjoy it. Thanks guys!
I really do read as many as I can. Thank you for all of those kind words. 🙂
Dang, now I am totally invested in this case. I know there has already been a verdict but if you can find a way to squeeze them in, please do the brother's and ex-boyfriend's testimonies. Thanks! Love you guys!
Wow! All of you saw the interesting way Wendi reached for the binder with both hands. I saw her as very stiff and rigid in that reach and full of anxiety at the least and maybe even fear or terror.
The problem Wendi had with Mr. Lacasse is that she was NEVER attracted to him. She was using him to lure him into this plan to murder divorced husband and blame the murder on him. That seems very obvious to me. What do you think?
There is something so unlikable about her that I can't put a finger on. Now after ten years I don't expect her to cry about Dan Merkel but damn the smiling and doe eyed lowered voice is driving me nuts.
I feel the same about her.
Elizabeth Holmes twin. Right?
Same here!!
She loathed Dan Markel and bad-mouthed a murdered man in from the witness stand in 2 other trials.
She WAS asked the punishment question in her police interview. She said they should be punished unless it was her family.
Yes, UNLESS!!
She did.
Please review her “interrogation” or interview at the police station right after the murder! 🙏🏼
Yes, she played those detectives, and fake cried and they fell for it.

@@looking4things669 they didn’t fall for it. The murder just happened so they were gathering Intel
Regarding the nostril flaring- it's botox. The face wants to show emotion, so it will find ways to adapt against the 'tox. I never flared my nostrils until I couldn't scowl anymore post Botox.
Reading facial expressions with current botox use could be a whole new study.
She is 💯💯💯💯💯💯GUIltY she knew everything ! She’s in on it
Wendi tells her ex-boyfriend, “ My brother told me that he had thought of hiring a hit man to kill my ex-husband.” She knew nothing about him actually doing it. Yeah right.🤦♂️🤪
Right. Funny...turns out it was a hit man!! Lol what a coincidence
I’ve never in my life heard someone joke about a hit man before.
Oh , that’s just one of those silly coincidences 🙄….
She reminds me of amber heard.. thinks she’s a princess and acting out the sweet innocent angel when she’s a demon in reality
Why in the world wouid Wendi think her brother and/or family was involved in the murder of her ex husband. That wouldn't even enter my mind!
Thankfully, you have never been in a custody battle. It can get very ugly.
When i saw her police interrogation, i thought she was involved with the murder.
Bingo ... I'd like the Behavior Panel to analyze her interrogation video. Her shock and grief were not real, in fact a very bad actin g job. Her tears would always dry up immediately each time they asked questions about her alibi ... and she always had immediate answers about where she was, with exact times that the repairman came and left that day .. in the midst of all that feigned grief and shock, her memory of times and places was crystal clear. Also, 2 hours to hook up her cable?? She said, "Well I scheduled a repair between 8 and 12, but he came very early" ... why would you show disappointment that he came so early , except that you needed that alibi a little later in the morning?
@@kaytaylormath All the more reason I find it odd that she wasted so much time driving out of her way to the liquor store if she was meeting friends for lunch.

@@LemonThyme1933curiosity got the best of her and she had to see if it was done yet
Wendi was the one who sent a text message to Dan to confirm his availability the week of July 14th - 18th in Tallahassee. The hitmen rented the car on July 15th and went to Tallahassee on the 16th. Dan was killed on the 18th.
Again, in conversations between Charlie and Donna after the bump, they discussed whether they should let Wendi know. And they said it would scare her. Charlie said she has been scared since day one. (Will go back and listen to more of that recording). So, she knew. She arranged the time and place for the murder.
I didn’t know it said she had been scared since day one! Slam dunk!!!
She tried to set up Jeff Lacasse. She drove up to the murder scene, did a 3 point turn, and left. She doesn't inquire to police about what happened, calls NO ONE, not even about her kids .. nothing. She had to see if the job was done. Even her real estate agent called her because of the police presence on Dan's street. She just continues on with her day running errands and going to lunch. She's a liar and up to her eyeballs in this murder for hire. Of her children's father! This family is sick.
That was also when Jeff Lacasse was to go on a business trip. She broke up w/him but wanted details. Jeff=Fall Guy
@louisebotelle9722 Everything Wendi does is calculated. Everything.
@@absinthemindedJi know right?! Your kids are with your ex and you see major police activity and ambulance on that very location. Would you just drive away? That’s what Wendy did. She didn’t try to call Dan or check on the kids at school or even call Dan. She knew exactly what happened
She totally seemed to be faking her entire time on the stand. I’m in for this one! Thanks
Greg you nailed the response to the snake oil theory. You are the four musketeers!! You know your stuff, and I absolutely love your show!
One thing... I loved how she briefly snagged a glance over to her brother when it was revealed during her testimony that she talks about the joking comments her brother makes about hiring a hit man.
Being that she said that she was super close to Charie; that swift glance proves that she knows she blew it under pressure and revealed a trail of bread crumbs away from her and entirely leaving the whole loaf on her brother's plate.
Enjoyed this one a lot, guys. Thanks❤
Well, I gotta hand it to her... she's a better actress than Amber Heard!
The amount of contempt and disdain in Wendi's face when the DA asked if those responsible should be held accountable was clear to me. Wendi seems like she just wants this to go away, like her ex went away, and the boy's paternal side of the family. To alienate the boys from their Dad's family, which happened after she let them see them the day of the funeral, is cruel to those boys who lost their Dad. Wendi likes to say it's because of the foster care comment, but that was solely until family could get to them if Wendi was arrested.... so maybe a day or two, possibly a week. Wendi and her family have actively alienated those boys from their paternal grandparents... otherwise, they would have shared the boys once Wendi realized she wouldn't be arrested. This is one sick family.
Maybe the boys saw something or knew something and they couldn’t risk having them blurt it out to the markels.
@@Herewearenowentertainus Charlie’s comment on the stand that three- and four-year olds can’t remember or repeat comments was ridiculous. I used to embarrass my parents all the time, dropping f-bombs at the grocery store, calling kids at preschool “Yakima pig farmers” (my grandpa’s favorite insult, for some reason), or doing my famous Julia Child impression, all before I began kindergarten.
They were definitely keeping those boys from their grandparents and doing parental alienation all along. Horrible, selfish monsters.
@tiffd98133 People who do these selfish things usually end up with troubled kids down the road. They seem to not give it a second thought. Those kids will always know something is very wrong, even if they don't get the full story. Sick.
oh yeah. The Markels j haven't seen those kids in about 6 years.
just coming to light are sadistic plans by Donna to get the kids to wear Nazi costumes one time to upset Dan.
another tactic to bully him into giving up the fight was to convert the kids to Catholicism.
real nasty stuff to get a rise out of him, with the kids as the bait every time .
and Wendi painting Dan as abusive to her ex boyfriend , oh and keeping him around just long enough o try make him the fall guy for the murder. she didn't want him, she had a new guy in Florida. she wanted him in town specifically on the day of the murder.
and for the first murder attempt but they just tailed Dan, the hitmen hired a car that looked like the ex boyfriends.
Wendi was weirdly insistent wanting to know if he would be in town on Friday,t he murder day even though they had just broken up. he was like, you're breaking up with me, why do you want to know what i'm doing Friday?
Her eyes are cold just like Charlie's, no sadness for Dan in there at all.
I see mom was just picked up, too. She was about to board a plane with a one-way ticket to Vietnam.
Dan Markel’s mom did not want the kids in foster care. Her concern was if the Adelson family was arrested for Dan’s murder she wanted them
to go to a Jewish foster care until they could get there from Toronto.
I think the dad was out by the window bc they were scared the cops were coming for them. She may not recall the details of the convo but it’s HIGHLY unbelievable that she didn’t remember telling her brother the father of her kids was killed. That’s something you wouldn’t forget. I even remember telling my brother’s gf and university when he passed. Having to make those calls was very difficult.
Re Chase's warning about not training the jury to tune you out by being boring -- Adelson's attorney should take that to heart, based on his closing statement for this trial. He droned on for a couple of hours.
Yes he talked loudly at times thinking that it was making an impact but even with the closing statement it shouldn't have to take up to 4 hrs or more. He seemed to be more convinced by himself than anyone else? Jmo
Reading news articles, the ex mother in law contacted a certain foster care, not to put the kids in, like Wendi is suggesting. But contacted them, to put emergency measures in should she be arrested and the kids had somewhere to go rather the CAS taking them.
