This guy is great. One thing I like about him is that no matter how long the witness testimony is the second Georgia says no further questions the judge says 'cross examination' in under 3 seconds as if he has been waiting for the witness to shut up the entire time. He's got the fastest draw in Florida!

There has never been hard evidence that Wendy or Donna's husband were involved. They have hard evidence from the wiretap that Donna knew about the murder after the fact. And they're going to try and tie that to her having a motive and to financial transactions. This one is the hardest to go through. We know Charlie set up the murder for hire. The state is going to try and prove he did it on behalf of Donna. Wendy certainly knew of this but they can't tie her to it right now. They would need Charlie or Donna to flip and that seems like a longshot.
Date: August 22nd, 2025 1:35 PM Author: excitant space
As I recall, there was testimony during Charlie's trial to the effect that Harvey knew nothing about the plot and was very upset when he heard about it. On the other hand, I think the circumstantial evidence against Wendi is very strong. As I recall, there were a bunch of calls between her and Charlie right before the murder happened. On the morning of the murder, she drove past shortporch's house even though it was a major detour on her route. And when she saw crime scene tape at the house, she didn't stop to see if her kids were okay. And there was testimony from one of the hitmen that Charlie insisted that they drive a certain model and color of car, which was the same as Wendi's boyfriend was driving at the time. It's not airtight, but people have been convicted on far weaker evidence than this. My guess is that unless they can find new evidence that can definitely prove that Wendi is involved, they won't arrest Wendi until they either get Donna or Charlie to roll over (or give up on trying). There was a rumor that the DA's office offered Donna a plea deal for time served if she would give up Wendi, but Donna refused. The DA's office denies this, so who knows? But maybe they can get one of them to flip if they offer the possibility of parole in the future.
Date: August 22nd, 2025 3:01 PM Author: excitant space
JFC I see why you were a failure as a lawyer. There is more than sufficient probable cause. To me, the fact that she takes a huge detour to shortporch's house the morning of the murder (with a totally incoherent explanation of why she made that detour) and then didn't stop to check on her kids after seeing police tape is pretty fucking damning. A good defense attorney might be able to convince a juror or two that there is a reasonable doubt, but plenty of people have gone to prison on much weaker evidence than this. My expectation is that if the DA's office can't convince Charlie or Donna to roll over on Wendi, they will arrest her and try her on the circumstantial evidence that they have. But they don't want to do that until they have exhausted all other options because you don't get a second chance to try her if new evidence is unearthed later. Saying that they haven't arrested her due to lack of probable cause is idiotic.

I can see the state going for obstruction charges on the husband, since he was with Donna at the airport when she was arrested. Anything he did to plan or assist with the logistics of the trip could be scrutinized. It would be ticky-tack, but this whole case seems personal to the prosecutors in Tallahassee.
Date: August 23rd, 2025 5:20 PM Author: excitant space
My guess is they only do that if they need leverage to convince some other family member to testify against Wendy. Otherwise it seems like having his entire family go to prison for life is already punishment enough. And I'm not sure they would have a great case for obstruction anyway. If he claimed that he thought she was just going on vacation and she never told him that she was planning to flee to avoid prosecution, it would be hard for the DA to prove otherwise.

If you didn't see my comment at the bottom of the thread, on Friday, one of the hitmen testified that Katie told them that the hit had to happen on a certain date, because shortporch was about to leave town. His testimony was triple hearsay, so I don't know if it would be admissible against Wendi. But if what he said is true, the state could call Katie to testify to this, and that would presumably fall under a hearsay exception. If Katie corroborates this testimony, my guess is Wendi is fucked even if her other family members don't turn on her. It's going to be interesting to see what happens.
Date: August 25th, 2025 11:45 AM Author: fuchsia area
I think they go after Wendi if they get a conviction on Donna. There's details about Dan's whereabouts that only Wendi would have known. They can't line this up without key information from her. There was a teaser of evidence against Wendi in Charlie's trial; off the top of my head, she texted him after a phone conversation to thank him for taking care of the problem, and she specifically arranged to have custody of the kids - off schedule - during the first hit attempt, which was aborted.

Wendi screams "BPD" to me. The problem with BPD chicks is that the sex is unbelievable. I almost ruined my life dating a BPD chick who involved with all kinds of drugs and underworld elements. But I don't regret it, because it was the best sex of my life by far. My guess is that Wendi lets this dude do all kinds of degrading shit to her in the bedroom that no sane woman would ever let him do, so he is willing to take the risk of getting whacked.

I think this is the cr diagnosis of Wendi. I seem to recall that the day before the murder she changed her Facebook photo to one where she looked really hot, likely because she knew that it would be the one blasted all over the media coverage.
I still thinks it’s inexcusable behavior by the billionaires though.

Holy shit. Did this dude just testify that Wendi was involved in the hit? It was literally triple hearsay, so I don't know if it is admissible in Wendi's trial. The hitman said that the other hitman said that Katie said that Wendi said that the hit had to happen before shortporch left town. But assuming he knows what he is talking about, they could put Katie on the stand, at which point it is only single hearsay (and presumably admissible as admission against interest, although I'm not an expert on evidence law in Florida).

My gut feeling is that the State is sympathetic towards Wendi and isn't going to charge her. She's been especially co-operative. Despite what the pumo says there isn't a lot of evidence against her. In DeSantis' Florida they probably don't want to be seen taking kids away from their mom.
Charlie they had him red handed because he was the connect to Katie and he gave her money. He was toast. Donna is the last domino to follow because she's unhinged and is all over the wiretap and the emails make her look nuts.
Wendi I think she's getting away clean. Not enough evidence on her. Charlie and Donna were tight knit. Easy to believe that they plotted this without Wendi and Harvey's knowledge.

Have you even been watching the fucking trial? On Friday, the hitman testified that Wendi told Katie what day the hit had to happen. Combine that with the (already very damning) circumstantial evidence against Wendi, and she is fucked. Granted, the testimony on Friday was triple hearsay. It's possible something got lost in that game of telephone. But if Katie will testify that Wendi was part of the conspiracy, I think that is plenty of evidence to convict. Especially after today when the prosecution showed that photo of Wendi and Katie at the beach together. I believe Wendi had always denied knowing Katie until today, but I won't swear to that.
See also, Donna’s clumsy attempts from jail to undermine Katie’s credibility as a witness. Katie isn’t putting Donna in any more jeopardy than she already faces just via the wiretaps. Moron Donna was trying to protect Wendi. That said I still think there’s a better than 50% chance the state doesn’t charge her. They know they only need to hit one horny Jewish grandpa on the jury who thinks just like 90% of the poasters in this thread about Wendi and her massive, epic cans, and they’re fucked.
Date: August 26th, 2025 4:23 PM Author: silver school
Also Rivera referenced hearing things about 'the dentist' and 'the lady' but admits he never met either of them. Correct me if I'm wrong but Katie never testified about the hit coming from Wendi and they knew each other personally.
We're right back where we started where it would require someone flipping. Jeff Lacasse saying Wendi said Charlie was looking into a hitman is not going to convict. We all know Charlie hired Katie and paid her directly. That's indisputable.
And we know Donna was MAF about relocation and the divorce proceedings and she and Charlie were in cahoots. Even so there's no direct evidence and it's all circumstantial and there's still a 20% chance Donna is acquitted just because they don't have a smoking gun and there's some small chance the jury just doesn't see her fingerprints on any of this.
Do I believe Wendi knew about the hit on Danny? Yes. Did she orchestrate it soup to nuts? Probably not. Did she provide her brother with information necessary to pull this off? Almost certainly. But we're still miles away from a guilty conviction for Wendi.
Date: August 25th, 2025 7:12 PM Author: silver school
Defense is in shambles. State has laid out so much evidence here. Wendi hated Tallahassee, was desperate for relocation. Donna was livid that the proceedings weren't going their way. Donna despised Danny, wanted the grandkids, sent a million emails expressing relocation was her red line, even suggested Wendi convert the kids to Catholicism just to piss Danny off. And then the family actually hired real life gang members to drive to Tallahassee and smoke him. Wendi in the photo with Katie Magbanua is damning. She actually knew the chick who hired Sigfredo and Rivera.
Meanwhile the defense be like: Donna was a good mom who was always there for her kids. No smoking gun, Donna never emailed anyone in writing that she wanted to harm Danny.
Donna is so crazy she makes Wendi look sympathetic. Ljl this is 80/20 convict.

I got busy at work and am only watching the recording now. Did the oldest Adelson kid testify against Charlie at his trial? To me, that was some of the most damning testimony so far. He basically came out and said that his mom is a control freak who is crazy enough to plan something like this. He also said she was acting incredibly shady after the murder (refusing to talk about it and telling him not to talk to the police). And he looked so heartbroken during his testimony. It was clear that it killed him to testify against his own mother, but he believes she is guilty and thought he had to do it.
Date: August 25th, 2025 8:21 PM Author: silver school
They said granting her immunity was the only reason she was willing to testify. I think she is trying to portray to the court a clean image. Without a big willie reversal in this case Wendi isn't going down. She's showing up to keep her reputation above board to the world, the press, the state, all involved.
Date: August 25th, 2025 10:38 PM Author: excitant space
I know they can't use this testimony against her if they charge her in the future, but it seemed obvious to me that she was full of shit. It seemed kind of remarkable that she could remember every detail of her conversation with Charlie on the day of the murder, but she had absolutely zero recollection of ever saying anything negative about shortporch during their divorce.
Date: August 25th, 2025 9:41 PM Author: silver school
I genuinely hope that defense in closing reminds the jury of their doomed opening remarks.
"Just to be clear, we told you all in the beginning that Danny Markel was killed in a murder for hire plot that involved Charlie Adelson, Katherine Magbanua, Sigfredo, and Rivera. That all actually happened. You even saw a picture of Wendi with Katie. You heard testimony from Robert that his mom was totally unphased by Danny's death and never broached the subject.
Anyway what's important to remember is that Donna was a good mom who loved her kids and there's no smoking gun. She did not literally tell anyone that she was going to kill Danny. OK. So therefore she didn't do it."
The jury would have to be extremely dense at this point to not take into account all the circumstantial evidence here.

1) the brother who testified yesterday. a media article said he's estranged w the mom and never testified before in these proceedings. why didnt he testify in the previous trial?
2) what does it mean that wendi testified under immunity? does that mean that they would have forced her to testify either way and made her invoke the 5th? did she testify at previous trials and invoke? why would she take an immunity offer -- did she WANT to rat out her mother? and why would someone take immunity to rat out their mom without getting an actual deal? i dont see what she gains, and "looking cooperative" to the DA doesnt like aseem good enough reason to rat out your mom.
Date: August 26th, 2025 8:55 AM Author: fuchsia area
1) They didn't need him to testify in the other trials. He was there specifically to show how controlling Donna is/was and to observe her reactions in the aftermath of Markel's death. He also has a secondary effect of blunting Wendi's credibility.
2) she has qualified immunity and perhaps I'm out of my depth here but I don't think she can make blanket 5th amendment objections because the state has agreed not to use her testimony against her. That doesn't mean they can't charge her. As far as why she's testifying, at this point it has to be self-preservation.
Date: August 26th, 2025 10:18 AM Author: silver school
Not sure and that's a good question. But my guess is that the #1 reason she testified in two trials is that she wants to look like a boy scout. Unless the state has something up their sleeves I don't know about, I am pretty sure they're not going to charge Wendi. The connection between Donna, Charlie, Katie, Sigfredo, and Luiz is rock solid. Wendi is showing up to look like she was never involved and that she's always been above board in all this. My guess is that after Donna gets convicted Georgia is going to come out and say we're done, this whole affair is over.

She's testifying under a subpoena and grant of immunity, meaning she has to show up (due to subpoena) and can't claim the fifth (due to immunity)
Rare to do it outside of a plea deal context but I can see why they did that here. The more you highlight the motive to kill, the more likely it is Donna helped orchestrate the whole thing.

What an asshole. Not saying he deserved to die but he really was winding Wendi and Donna up as much as possible. Jeff Lacasse said in his police interview that Danny was a vexatious litigant. Tried to get Wendi disbarred. Stacks and stacks of complaints. He overwhelmed them. Wendi was a nervous wreck. People get extremely emotional about custody and what to do with their kids. Danny was just waking up every day and going to war, full throttle hyper autistic. Katie testified Donna and Harvey couldn't sleep. Wendi was a mess all the time. Donna just wanted to help alleviate her daughter's pain. Hey Charlie you know some hoodlums. Charlie talks to Katie who was broke and fighting her own custody battle.
You can really see how this unfolded and maybe Danny would still be alive if he didn't fuck with the Adelsons to the max. He was also becoming more and more zealous in his religion when we know Wendi was never that into it. You're just trying to spend a normal day with your kids and Danny is freaking out about whether they ate a hot dog. He was a total asshole but agreed he didn't deserve to die and murder is wrong but you can see so easily now how it happened.

It would be 180 billion if they put her on trial but they're acting like they won't. The state keep repeating that Wendi was a damsel in distress and that Donna and Charlie stepped in to help her out. She's guilty as sin but incredibly difficult to prosecute a damsel in distress.
By all accounts Danny was a raging asshole who no one liked who weaponized devout Judaism on everyone around him. But he didn't deserve to die. Even his dad looks like a huge asshole. Danny was a cunt and if he were alive today he'd be tweeting about arresting anyone who says mean things about Israel and laughing at Gazan children getting blown up. But we live in a society and murder is wrong.
was he really orthodox, or fake orthodox like the kushners? a legit MO (modern ortho) type in law school like a ben shapiro would never marry a girl who isnt orthodox herself.
A friend of Markel told 20/20 that the couple’s parents agreed to split the cost of the Dan/Wendi Jewish wedding (2006). Dan wanted a kosher caterer and he was sure that Wendi’s parents, who were hiring the caterer, would honor his request. His friend said that Dan was shocked, on his wedding day, that the food wasn’t kosher. It was a “omen”, the friend said, of bad things to come.

He also tried to testify that Wendi asked him if her boys would be old enough to remember it if something really horrible happened. It got thrown out as a discovery violation.

That seems unlikely. Before they tossed that testimony, they stopped the trial for about 10-15 minutes so that Georgia could try to verify that she shared this evidence with the defense. And when she couldn't find proof of this, the defense was willing to stipulate that the discovery violation was inadvertent. Also, if you are building a case against Wendi, why show what cards you are holding? That just gives her defense a chance to think about how they will explain it away.

That was a bit of a letdown. She didn't corroborate the hitman's testimony that Wendi told her when the hit had to happen. Wendi dodged a major bullet there. And the evidence she had to tie Donna to the plot was highly circumstantial at best. All she could say was that Charlie called his mom a lot when they were discussing the plot to whack shortporch. I suppose that they had to call her to the stand so that the jury understood the full plot, but there was nothing particularly new or interesting in her testimony.

Cr but she did say Donna's names were on the checks. Paper trail. Overall I agree so far the state has laid out this epic circumstantial case against Donna a smart jury would have no problem coming to a conviction but they don't have the smoking gun. Luckily for Georgia the defense attorneys are dogshit ttts. Like 90 IQ max. My gut is leaning convict right now. Nobody directly involved in the murder thought this was coming from Wendi. She obviously skates but I would like to see Donna put away now. I think the jury still gets this.

TSINAH potentially vindicated. One analyst said there's no reason to have testimony like Jeff in this case if not to get more and more info on Wendi into the public record. That they're building the foundation to charge Wendi all throughout this trial.
On the other hand there's growing concern that Georgia isn't doing enough to tie this all to Donna. At present Donna has too many outs. It's time to wrap with the foundation witnesses and go for the smoking gun. They need a big win here. Luckily the defense is going nowhere fast.

It's been a pretty sloppy presentation so far for the state, the prosecutors wouldn't be able to get half this testimony out if they weren't allowed to lead.

TRUE INSIDER HERE
State is exhausted and a bit shambolic, but managed / will manage to get several direct hits will result in quick guilty verdict:
1. Donna's emailing wendi "we are part of a team, we are a team". Lmao in a conspiracy case
2. Donna signing Katie's checks -- action in furtherance of conspiracy, literally CHECKED
3. Rob A's heartbreaking testimony - mom told me not to talk to FBI, when I already had mom responded "well you dont know anything anyway", that was last time I ever spoke to mom
4. Post bump Donna goes to conspirator Charlie
5. Donna flees to Nam due to guilty conscience
its over for donna.
Now on to wendi:
They need knowledge and participation in conspiracy and action in furtherance of conspiracy. They have knowledge through Jeff Lacasse saying she knew and told him. Action in furtherance? Hard. Rests critically on giving shortporch's travel schedule to killers. State will say Wendi HAD to be source of this info. Wendi's defense will say, she could have shared it innocently with mom or charlie.
Date: August 27th, 2025 9:24 AM Author: fuchsia area
There's plenty of actions in furtherance that are attributable to Wendi. She asked for custody the kids - off schedule - to facilitate the aborted first hit attempt. She pressed her then-boyfriend for his travel plans in and around the day of the actual murder (him leavinga night early might be one of the luckiest decisions ever). She is the only one who would have known Dan's exact whereabouts the morning of the hit (dropped the kids off, went to the gym, went home).
There's also a ton of guilty conscience types acts, including her driving out of her way to go past the house immediately after the murder, and her obvious, unexplained nerves on the day of the first attempt and the day of the murder, which several people, including her friend and the Geek Squad technician, can testify to.

actions in furtherance Im not as convinced
- The killers have Dan's schedule / whereabouts. Origin is clearly Wendi, but its reasonably doubtful that she knew that in sharing it she was setting up a murder.
- LaCasse testifies about possibly being set-up, but he's the only witness to this and he's a jilted lover. Also, the killers using similar car (not even same car) falls apart. Is there any evidence killers asked specifically for this car from rental company? Doubt it
I think Wendi knew, but was mostly kept out of loop by Charlie/donna. I think its a tough case against her
Date: August 27th, 2025 11:36 AM Author: silver school
It's certainly a tough case against her but I think the DA ought to put her on trial anyway. By this point her mother and brother will be sitting in jail for literally conspiring to commit a murder for hire plot to kill her ex husband over a custody battle. Danny's death directly benefitted her, she got everything she wanted, and she was part of the team as Donna said. It's painfully obvious they were all in this together. It may be a stretch but go for it anyways. I think the public wants justice here. It's simply not possible that Donna and Charlie did this all on their own without Wendi knowing. It defies reason. Lock her up.

agree. the matter FEELS unresolved until she gets targeted. whole thing is preamble
i think a good chance a tally jury convicts her, for extra legal reasons. donna tried to move jx, but I bet wendi actually gets to, because there is so much fucking relevant evidence of her calling tally a complete shit hole.
another factor, i suspect at play, may be the state's genuine sympathy for the boys. they cannot simply be moved to markel grandparents. boys are secular jews in texas, final years of high school. markels are extremely elderly observant jews in small town canada. Lmao at traumatizing the kids by yanking them from their lives and depositing in canada. and honestly i dont think markel grandparents are even capable of parenting teens. would love to see Rob A volunteer to take them, behind the scenes

I don't know. If the murderers had only made one trip to Tallahassee, there might be a reasonable doubt as to whether Wendi knew that she was participating in a conspiracy to commit murder. But the hitmen drove up to Tallahassee twice. Both times they knew exactly where shortporch was. There is testimony from Jeff Lacasse that Wendi made sure he was in town with no alibi before both the initial attempt and the actual murder. And when Wendi was interviewed by the police, she immediately suggested Lacasse as a possible suspect. And when you combine that with the fact that she drove out of her way to shortporch's house the morning of the murder and never bothered to check if her kids were okay, to me, it becomes incredibly hard to believe that she didn't actively participate.
Granted, the case would depend very heavily on Jeff Lacasse's testimony. If her defense could could undermine his credibility on cross, it could get dicey. But plenty of people have been convicted on far weaker evidence than this.

state and jeff's argument is that wendi coordinated that the killing happened when Jeff would be near Dan's house, done by someone in a similar car to Jeff.
jeff testifies that -- immed after a break up -- wendi strangely grilled him on his plans for upcoming murder date
then wendi in police interview day of murder, tells police maybe it was jeff

How is the defense not calling out hearsay and leading every 5 seconds? This is the worst legal team under the sun. Witness just said 'Charlie supposedly said a joke to many people about buying Wendi a TV instead of a hitman'
Supposedly??? The defendant should be livid with her counsel
Wendi admits to detectives that in the car ride to the police station, she wondered if she was a suspect. But she hadn't been told yet about Danny's murder. The detective said that he waited until she got to the jail to tell her (but she seemingly found out from her voicemail). You can see her stunned reaction when the detective tells her that Danny is dead. This contradicts testimony in two trials she gave that police informed her of Danny's death in the car ride to the station. She also admits to having a guilty conscience. An innocent person wouldn't be wondering if they were a suspect, and she wouldn't have known that Danny was dead.
Date: August 28th, 2025 2:06 AM Author: excitant space
Can that statement be used against her if she is tried for the murder? I know she has a limited immunity deal that says that her testimony generally can't be used against her. But as I recall, the fine print says that it can be used to impeach her credibility if she lies. As I recall, there is video of her first interview with the police where she has a meltdown after being told that shortporch is dead. That would seem to clearly contradict the statement she made that she was worried about being a suspect on the way to the police station. Can any criminal procedure mastermen tell me if this statement would be admissible?
Date: August 27th, 2025 10:31 PM Author: silver school
Donna texted Wendi on the morning of Danny's murder that the Best Buy repairman was coming to look at the TV. Remember that Danny much to his misfortune left a detailed phone voicemail about his whereabouts with Wendi earlier telling her exactly when he would be at the gym. Wendi then texts Charlie 'this is sweet!' to Donna. A text she later deleted before giving her phone to investigators. Fixing the TV was code between all of them for bumping Danny off.
Jfc Wendi was deep in it. Harvey may be next just get them all at this point. Even Robert probably knew. It's 0% a coincidence that Danny leaves a detailed message about where he's going to be and moments later Donna calls in the hit and Wendi texts Charlie that he's so sweet. Jfc these are true monsters.
Date: August 28th, 2025 2:16 AM Author: excitant space
I dunno. The taped conversation between Harvey and Donna played today strongly suggests that Harvey was completely out of the loop. You could probably charge him with some kind of obstruction or tax evasion charge if you really wanted to, but is it really worth the trouble at this point? The statute of limitations has probably run for those types of charges at this point anyway.
Wendi definitely knew, though. However, I will assume that the poaster above is knowledgeable about criminal law in Florida and that charging her requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt that she engaged in "action in furtherance of conspiracy." I take that to mean that knowing is not enough. They have to prove that she actively participated. But I don't know. As I think about it, maybe the state could argue that, at the bare minimum, she knew that her mom and brother were plotting to murder her ex. And if she shared information with them about his whereabouts, she had to know what was going to happen.

It's really funny how Katie talked to Garcia who intuited perfectly how the government was running a honeypot to try and get them to freak out which they all did. And then Katie tries to get this through Charlie's thick skull but Charlie still thinks that it's a hoodlum trying to extort him. I just don't understand how this guy could be as smart as he is and take all the precautions he did and still not figure out that the bump was the government, bad acting and all. But career hood Tuto read it perfectly but couldn't get the others to figure it out in time. It was smart that law enforcement targeted Donna because she was always going to be the weak link. But Charlie really fucked up he could have played it cool and they wouldn't have all of this evidence.

He went to Nova Southeastern too which is supposedly for rich kids who aren't very bright. But I have to give him some credit he was at least above average intelligence. He almost got away with it. Reacting in such a retarded manner to the bump did him in. The state probably doesn't get this far without it. He should have listened to Garcia more. He should have gone with street knowledge over trusting his own instincts.
Date: August 28th, 2025 2:48 PM Author: silver school
My favorite parts of hearing Charlie on the call is when he switches gears in his mind like he'll spend 10 minutes ranting about what he thinks he's gonna do about the hoodlums harassing him and his plan and then out of the blue he'll just say, 'Or, it could be the cops and it's just a setup, and they have nothing on us so we don't have to worry'. He was really good at convincing himself he was clever and then relaxing emotionally. He was great at making himself feel better. And then he'd go right back to ranting about it being hoodlums extorting him. The cops really got in his head. After the bump he went completely paranoid. But at no point did he think it was an actual setup, the cops had nothing, and the cr move was to not react. He toyed with the thought in his mind but never came close to believing it. The second law enforcement made the Adelsons emotional they made all the wrong moves. That's all it took to break them.
Date: August 28th, 2025 2:27 PM Author: silver school
The break in the case was a law enforcement operation called 'The Bump'. Long story short the police found the most ghetto dude in the department, who was basically a fat Puerto Rican guy from New York with a Brooklyn accent (one defendant now serving life without parole called him a 'New Yorican nigga') to approach Donna in a ridiculous disguise on the street and hand her an envelope. In it was a letter that said your family is taking care of Katie and Sigfredo 'Tuto' Garcia but not doing anything for Luis 'Tato' Rivera. The letter mentioned that this guy knew about what Tato did for the Adelsons 'up North' (in Tallahassee) and wanted a pay out.
All the suspects in this case had their phones tapped and they were being tailed by law enforcement when they went out to meet in public. Any normal thinking person would intuit this was a police set up. The acting was atrocious but the cops were smart to target Donna who probably thought all Latino people were thugs.
All the conspirators basically cracked under the pressure. They all got really paranoid, started talking about it non stop over the phone using code words like using a real estate deal as a metaphor. They convinced themselves they really were being extorted by some gang members. They just kept spilling the beans on record. Charlie even called the police number which I thought was funny because he said it rang 30 times before anyone picked up which makes me think they were in an office and not some actual hoodlum.
Also any innocent person if they were being harassed by gang members would immediately call the police. They never did. They were afraid that the guy setting them up would go to the cops with information. This is classic one wrong move territory. All it took was some atrocious acting job by the police that any rational person would think is a police sting and they just went into a total frenzy. Giving away the bag. It's ironic because Charlie used to tell everyone he met that anyone can get away with murder as long as you keep your mouth shut. He did not keep his mouth shut. He went full retard.

If they were innocent they would have called the police. Simple as. That they repeatedly tried to resolve getting stalked by what they thought was an extortionist on their own proves their guilty conscience. Normal people call the police in that situation.

The most amazing part is that Garcia accidentally blew a hole in the rental car that cut off the gas line, but because on the first trip he had befriended a local hoodlum in Tallahassee he quickly got the tools to fix it without arousing suspicion. He may have been inept but he also had more street sense than anyone else.
It's 180 that the cops let Tuto and Tato roam free long enough to ensnare Katie, Charlie, and Donna in the plot. Good on them.

Wendi is going to be a difficult case unless Charlie or Donna sing. And I doubt either of them do. Donna will die in prison even if she agrees to testify and she's just glad her grandchildren are out of Dan's hands. And Charlie I guess has more reason to rat, but if he didn't plea to get Donna I don't think he would for Wendi either.
The case against her is pretty good but almost all circumstantial. The defense could even plausibly argue that maybe Wendi knew something was going to happen, but didn't participate in it. The link from the hitmen to Wendi is too attenuated right now.
I think the state should try anyway, but she'll probably walk which will be a tragedy. This family is evil thank God they're also unbelievably stupid.
Date: August 28th, 2025 7:53 PM Author: silver school
Wendi could have come forward at any point in the years when her mother and brother were carrying on with life as if nothing had happened, enjoying time with the grandkids and nephews, living their ideal retirement with Danny out of the picture, blocking access from Danny's parents to see the kids. She could have stepped up and said I know something happened here and helped out the prosecution. Instead, nothing. Just an innocent dove. Oh, I had no idea why two gang members from South Florida drove to Tallahassee in the middle of an acrimonious custody dispute and offed my ex husband! It was just really fortunate and now I'm here in Miami living exactly how I had hoped to!
Danny wanted 3 things. He wanted location (Tallahassee, raise the kids in the marital home where they were born). He wanted education, I'm assuming private Hebrew school. And he wanted religion, Orthodox Jew. And Wendi wanted none of that. And she got to have everything her way. Oh, I didn't know! I couldn't have known! How was I to know?!

Donna thought they could have it all. The kids, the condo, the money, all in Miami. The complete dream. It was Donna's dream but if anyone wanted it too it was Wendi. Wendi hated Tallahassee. She thought Danny was a controlling freak. She didn't want to be extremely religious. One weird trick to get everything they wanted.

Yeah and it wouldn't even be out of the realm of an unreasonable defense here. It's really a fucking shame that for all their stupidity, Charlie and Donna did a pretty decent job of keeping Wendi's fingerprints off the crime
The detour to the home the day of the murder, with no phone call to Dan to see how the kids were when she saw the police tape, is extraordinarily damaging. But proving her guilt will be very difficult, even under conspiracy liability.

How is the sentiment ITT that the state might not try Wendi or that she might walk? She's guilty as sin, and if you told the average guy on the street the 90-second version of the case, he'd say, "obviously she knew about the plot and helped them execute it."
Wendi had an extremely strong motive for wanting Shortporch dead.
Wendi's mom and brother have been/will soon be convicted of hiring hitmen to kill him.
Wendi was critical to the plot insofar as the info about where Shortporch would be had to come from her.
She changed the kids' schedule to accommodate the hit.
She asked Jeff all about his schedule to put the hit on him.
And she inexplicably drove by the house the day of the murder.
Jurors may be dumb in the sense of being ill suited to assess whether a certain microchip infringes a patent or what appropriate damages are in a penis-burn case. But the basic evidence against Wendi is more than a jury would need to convict.
The state will charge Wendi. A jury will convict. They won't deliberate for long.

The consensus in the community of legal analysts prior to the Donna trial is that Wendi would walk. The consensus has now shifted to where a lot of people are saying that Georgia has been leaving Wendi breadcrumbs to amp up public sentiment to get it done. The Science changed and it's starting to tilt to where the People of Tallahassee want blood. So you very well may be right about everything. But a couple weeks ago the trail on Wendi was cold. It's warming up by the day.

Why was the consensus before the Donna trial that Wendi would walk? You don't need any huge logical leaps to see she participated in the conspiracy, even based only on what was known a couple years ago. Jurors would get it.
Date: August 28th, 2025 11:29 PM Author: silver school
That may or may not be true. Many real life crimdef lawyers covering this case think Wendi is still a longshot. A lot of it is based on circumstantial evidence. You have to have more than just she was the prime beneficiary of Danny's death in a murder for hire plot conducted by her mom and brother.
Donna and Charlie's fingerprints are on everything. They plotted it, found the people, wrote the checks, got caught on a wire acting extremely guilty, two co-conspirators testified against them. An unindicted co-conspirator (Wendi) testified against them. These are slam shut.
What changed is in the Donna trial a lot more has come out about Wendi, fueling public antipathy against her. But the state still has nowhere near the smoking gun they have against Charlie and Donna.
But sentiment is really moving against Wendi and more people feel like you do. The consensus building against Wendi is so what if we don't have a slam dunk case against her. Do it anyway. I think a lot of people are coming around to that. It's going to be a very difficult trial to put on. For instance in the Donna case 90% of the evidence so far has been about Donna's co-conspirators, indicted as well as unindicted. So we'll see. I think the will of the people is bubbling up to seek justice against Wendi. It's getting more and more likely to happen.

I hope he is ready. I'm much more bullish on the case against Wendi than many people in this thread, but even I will concede that Jeff's testimony is absolutely critical in order to get charges against Wendi to stick. If the defense can paint Jeff as a vindictive ex-boyfriend with an axe to grind or otherwise undermine his credibility, Wendi could very well walk.
Date: August 29th, 2025 10:13 AM Author: excitant space
I disagree. In her testimony, Wendi tried to convince jurors that she wasn't really that mad at shortporch; just regular couple arguments. And she was totally fine staying in Tallahassee and decided it was actually better than Miami. Without Jeff's testimony, she could easily convince a jury that there was no motive for murder. Also, Jeff testified that not only did Wendi admit to hiring a hitman, but she also asked him if her kids would be old enough to remember if their father got whacked. This is the best evidence we have currently that Wendi was aware of the plot and supported it. Plus his testimony about Wendi grilling him about his travel plans followed by Wendi suggesting his name as a suspect at her first police interview. Jeff also testified that Wendi appeared to have deliberately damaged her own TV (giving her an alibi at the time of the murder).
Without Jeff, the case against Wendi is extremely circumstantial at best. Basically the only real evidence the state has are the fact that Wendi drove by the crime scene shortly after the hit and didn't check on her kids or call the police afterward and the fact that she lied under oath about hearing about shortporch's death on the way to the police station. Based on the evidence I have seen so far, Jeff's testimony will be absolutely critical if they want to take down Wendi.

Ljfl that Donna was caught on a hot jail mic talking about how Wendi sent her a message saying my lawyer has advised me to not talk to my family at all and to not talk about the case. Wendi lawyering up against her own fam. Donna thought Wendi was being cold for not calling the fam to talk about how sad it was that Charlie was convicted. Wendi claiming 'it's not my fault how the prosecutor used my testimony! I had nothing to do with this and I did nothing wrong!'
This already shows how Wendi is preparing for trial and is not nearly as dumb as her mom and brother. Another main reason she may walk. Just hasn't been going around talking about it endlessly for years makes her seem innocent relative to her family.

She's a clever girl. Maybe she baited Charlie and Donna into killing Danny for her but without ever saying it. Charlie still seems to care about his sister and was hoping she would call him in jail. Charlie and Donna have never acted like Wendi played them. And Wendi has never acted as if she were guilty or knew anything about it. Odd case.
She’s just a sociopath. Her brain gets more engaged and activated when she realizes she needs to avoid a source of danger in order to get away with doing something wrong. Any doubt I might’ve had about this was completely removed when I got to hear Jeff testify in the Charlie case, let alone this one. It’s crazy watching the progression from the police interviews in the immediate aftermath to the Charlie trial to now. Jeff is the ultimate dumb goy slowly catching on to the fact that he barely avoided getting asspounded in prison because he was so enthralled by her Khazar milkers and kept-Kosher cunnus.
Yeah. There’s also a socialization aspect of how good Jewesses are at pussytrapping especially dumb goys, but her sociopathology made her particularly attuned to these skills, probably because she was already working it out while she was still an adolescent and could practice on all the Jewish pervs in her orbit who lust after underage girls constantly like Epstein and DGB.

i would imagine none of the jews involved (apart from crim procedure professor dan) expected such an investigation
they probably thought "pretty good line of separation btwn the jews and the hispanics here", neighbor or someone is just going to see a car and this will go nowhere, worst case lacasse is suspected

black snitch seemed too dumb to resist sweetening up her testimony
white snitch was much more credible, and the handwriting was clearly donna's. not to mention, lol, that donna scripted her saying "i read it in the newspaper". Like anyone under 70, much less some 20+ felonies meth head prostitute, reads a newspaper
that detail alone proved white snitch was really telling the truth and donna really was stupid enough to solicit her perjury

It's all they've got. Question is would you admit that Donna knew anything but knowing of a conspiracy isn't murder 1? Maybe lesser charge?
When Donna takes the stand she will be forced to confront whether she knew about it at all. If she says yes she's toast. If you agree with some of the state's narrative you look totally complicit.
Jackie said she was going to disprove all the charges. So Donna has to explain why she's on all the wiretaps panicking and talking to Charlie like she knows. She's fucked.

Imagine if Donna had competent lawyers who objected to leading every time and forced the state to get out the testimony the right way. They'd be there for weeks. I bet the jury was already falling asleep from the nine hours of phone calls, judging by how the prosecutors and even the judge was apologizing for them; the state might lose them entirely if they had to stop with the leading.

Karen Read trial they bored the jury to death and then made the cops look utterly disgraced. They got a mistrial so some of the jurors actually paid attention enough to figure out she was guilty. By the time of the retrial there was no public trust in law enforcement. The lawyers won and they got lucky because a shitty judge lost control of the courtroom.

Date: August 30th, 2025 12:31 PM Author: silver school
She is totally porked but levels better defense trial lawyers exist. It's a loser case but the defense has let too much evidence pass into the record without challenging it. Georgia leads all her witnesses by telling them exactly what to say. It's borderline unconstitutional. Witnesses are supposed to testify to what they saw and experienced, not nod along to the prosecution's narrative. Defense should be going ham to stop the state's train but they have sat back and done nothing. The whole strategy is yes the state is right about everything but my client isn't implicated. The problem is their client is implicated and they've done nothing to push back at all on anything. It's retarded. If your life was on the line you wouldn't want to be defended by retards now would you.

She's not the sharpest tool in the shed. She didn't have a valid passport ready to go. Boomer doesn't know she's on a recorded line. Admits she doesn't get computers.
This is a family that spewed an incredible amount of evidence they committed a murder for hire. They just couldn't help themselves. I think any rational person with their head screwed on would have known the Bump was law enforcement. The acting was so bad. No one picked up that it was a sting except Sigfredo Garcia but they didn't listen to him.
They were in so far over their heads. So yes why did she do anything. She's a retard. She could have bought a house in Tallahassee and seen her grandkids any time. But she's an egotistical moron she's gonna end up in prison over an hour flight.
She could have been on the call telling Charlie she didn't know what he was talking about and to go to the police if he was being extorted. Guilty people act incredibly guilty.

A lot of this case should have started long ago with better legal advice. Like, not buying tickets to Vietnam. Advising her repeatedly that phones are tapped. Advising her repeatedly not to talk in jail. I don't know how much advice was given, but it clearly didn't stick. So the counselor part is a huge flop.
The entire D theory should be, she didn't plan anything or pay anything or do anything. Charlie talked to her and she was scared for Charlie after the fact. That's it. Every set of Qs should open and close with, no evidence that she planned the murder. That's it. Repeatedly bashing in the skulls. Did Donna skulk around? Sure, loved Charlie loved her grandkids blah blah blah. But "hiring a hitman" is insane Hollywood shit, this 75yo granny is not hiring hitmen.

presuming a majority, or even all of the current evidence gets in and BAM you find yourself at opening, standing at the defense podium..... (Seems kind of outside the hypo to say 'defense should have advised her not to commit murder!')
imo you have to craft this defense on the state being overzealous and motivated by the popularity of this case. You cannot credibly re-try the already convicted people. So its established fact that Tato and Tuto killed shortporch, after being hired by Charlie via Katie, to spring Wendi from her annoying ex.
Own all of that and simply distance Donna. Hard to do with the evidence, but remember at all times the chain is linked Donna - Charlie - Katie - killers.
You just need to break/obscure that first link, and you do so by constantly painting Donna as a dimwit who knew nothing of criminality, but obsessively loved her idiot son Charlie.
Charlie concocts this whole thing. Charlie keeps it a secret. Charlie tells his mom, hire Katie, do this do that. Mom does everything, slavishly, without any real understanding of what is happening.
Mom having reasonable suspicion maybe her boy was up to no good is NOT furthering a conspiracy. Its simply really immoral and bad parenting. Maybe eat some accessory after the fact charge? Anyway, Main Story #1 is Donna is an imbecile grandma, who could be surrounded by crimes without realizing.
Main Story #2 is that these cases are making the prosecutors so famous, on 20/20 and in national news, that they are riding a gravy train and now EVEN COMING AFTER GRANDMA just to maintain fame.
Of course grandma was flying to vietnam. She was, at the same time, planning her suicide. She just wanted to die, disappear, vanish from earth, etc. Her baby boy was just convicted and he HAD BEEN USING HER THE WHOLE TIME, WITHOUT HER KNOWING. She wanted death, and vietnam is the same thing.
In a sentence, Donna is victim of Charlie and the ravenous prosecutors.
Thats how you fucking defend this case. Attack Charlie, attack the prosecutors, paint Donna as insanely in love with her son -- and you have reams of evidence to support each point. Probably still lose, but its better than using "every element beyond a reasonable doubt" as your story
Date: August 30th, 2025 11:59 PM Author: Plum Stimulating Indian Lodge Nibblets
The judge isn't going to let you attack the prosecutors in front of the jury. You can do that in pretrial motions and in media releases, sure. I think the best strategy would be to say the whole conspiracy theory is bullshit and force the state to prove it all from the ground up. The prosecutors are already struggling with the abridged version they're doing in this trial, a full exposition, no leading, no counsel testifying, could break them.

The kooky thing about Harvey is that he had to have known about it. He was around Donna and Charlie babbling all the time. Those two couldn't shut up if they tried. Harvey had to have known even if he wasn't involved.

This is a case where these people are so far gone from reality and have been for ages. They're so entrenched in their criminal mindset that nothing is going to hit them until the sentence is read and they're hauled off.
As discussed previously ITT Wendi is the only one who seems to have any wits about her as to why the state keeps going after this horrible family.

Harvey also had a one-way ticket to Vietnam and was at the airport with Donna, but they only arrested Donna. It would be fascinating to know what Harvey knew and when he knew it and why the prosecutors chose not to charge him. If I were the DA, and I felt like I had a case against Harvey, I would arrest him if only because it would give me more leverage to force Donna/Charlie to talk and/or accept a deal. I feel like they could have charged him with obstruction at the bare minimum. The fact that he hasn't been charged with anything even when he was at the airport with a one-way ticket to Vietnam suggests to me that there is further evidence the exculpates Harvey that hasn't been released. Or maybe they just legitimately believes that he wasn't involved and that losing his entire family is going to be punishment enough. Who knows?

Their whole argument is Charlie and Wendi did this. Brutal mothering.

5 min later, judge: "In evidence are allegations of suborning perjury and attempting to flee, your response counsel?"
D-bro: Judge um we ask for judgment of acquittal
real talk, the trial procedure requires a motion for JOA. Sometimes its best just to read the statute and sit down.

Sidebar now on "advice to counsel" from last week. I suspect D lawyers have shared with judge that Donna is not taking their counsel. Last week, before snitch testimony, judge put donna under oath and put her on record endorsing defense strategy on how to cross snitches.
Reading btwn lines, I think defense bros are telling judge, "our client wont listen to shit, and is insisting we do things her way." I suspect this will now come to a head with regard to defendant testifying.

Also, Donna apparently tried to bribe some other inmates with money and drugs if they would lie and say that Katie (who had been locked up with these inmates in the past) had extorted the Adelsons. They obviously have some credibility issues, but I'm inclined to believe them, mainly because I don't think the prosecution would risk having a guilty verdict overturned to solicit false jailhouse testimony in a case that is already a slam dunk. There is plenty of evidence to convict even without this testimony. I mention it mainly because it is incredibly lulzy that she tried this in the first place.
I think you underestimate how dark her dark triad (both in terms of her personality and her vag) really is. This bitch has barely blinked through two trials of her brother and mom getting life for the plot the three (probably) of them cooked up to kill her ex husband. She won’t freak out until the foreman says guilty.

Rule of Castration? Is that the formal legal term for it? Explain to a non-lawmo why this matters. If I remember correctly, the witness in question was some realtor who said that he once showed some house to the Adelsons back in 2011. I'm not sure how this testimony is relevant in the first place, much less why it would matter if this realtor bro heard some testimony about the jailhouse snitches (which was totally unrelated to his testimony).

So first the court will conduct what most judges now call a Richard Hearing. This is a euphemism for "Dick Hearing" of course, and the legal issue at play is whether the witness demonstrates any symptoms of genital arousal or disturbance when confronted with the testimony he should not have heard.
Problem is, the standard in FL for this hearing is mere preponderance of the evidence. Which means if any court personnel even think they see the guy's penis move, its likely proven that he is aroused or disturbed or in some way excited by what he has heard.
Which means his subsequent testimony was tainted, and the curative is castration of the witness. Florida relies on this ridiculous antebellum jurisprudence on the connection between "testimony" and "testes", etc.

im honestly re-thinking whether they are now fishing for appellate topics. sequestration is a basic thing, and the first one apparently was an accident. the second one was KNOWN to be happening by the defense, and exclusion is almost a given.

Not a big fan of Georgia Cappelman, and never a fan of watching ASAs try to cross witnesses, but she just did v. well crossing the family lawyer.
Fam lawyer expert was brought in to argue, basically, Wendi's divorce was nbd, not at all contentious, and therefore no reason to trigger a murder.
Georgia called her on being a dumb fucking lawyer who has no idea how normies are affected by divorce and custody issues. "Ever have a client suicide because of divorce proceedings?" Georgia asked, which I HIGHLY SUSPECT she just adlibbed.
"One crazy fucking muslim," the lawyer had to admit. "But thats cause he's from fucking Iran or some such hell hole where divorce is shameful."
Couldnt have been scripted better for the cross exam.
PS we are now seeing Wendi's defense: The divorce was OVER and SETTLED, and by the way was nbd, hardly contentious. Here's a train of female divorce lawyers to explain that, in their professional opinion, this divorce was nothingburger (except when shortporch mansplained things), and Wendi was now a strong and content divorcee with a big happy clit and black sista friends, with no reason at all to kill anyone over a divorce that happened, like, a million years ago, ancient history, hahaha

This isn't just Wendi's defense it's Donna's too. They haven't hit back on any of the murder for hire evidence and Donna's connection to Charlie. But they're hoping that the jury wasn't paying attention at all and last week was a long time ago.
The pitch is that the divorce was nbd, no one was rattled by it, the state has been hyperbolic about Donna's emails. Everyone gets emotional around divorce but it wasn't that big a deal. The whole thing was settled and there was no motive for Donna. Charlie is crazy and we have no idea why he set this up. Anyways, gotta go.
I think at this point the defense is as close as they can get to acquittal. I wouldn't even put Donna on which would backfire. Just hope and pray at this point.

hearing her say "I didn't do it" would be icing on the cake. We all know that she didn't do it. in fact, the state conceded that very point during its opening statement.
in this case, however, "it" refers to more than just pulling the trigger and includes any act done by or procured by donna that caused the death of markel.
honestly, if she were more likable, putting her on the stand to look the jury in the eye and testify that while she hated markel and wished he were dead, she never wished that anyone in her family would cause his death and that those responsible for the heinous act have been tried, convicted, and sentenced. in fact, if she were a more likable jew (I know, null set), leaning into the whole miami jew thing and testifying that her family's kike business was an orthodontics practice and as an endontist charlie printed money. He wouldn't have needed to borrow $15k or whatever the beaners charged.
She gets into trouble with Katie, though. Wasn't donna the practice's office manager? Essentially, she laundered the hit money through the practice by hiring Katie for a do-nothing position or whatever presumably to deduct the cost from their taxes (kikes will never change).

The defense is trying to disprove motive. Wendi and Danny got along. The divorce wasn't contentious. The divorce actually went fine. The custody arrangement wasn't that big a deal. Yes they said some mean things to each other in court motions. Big whoop. They were getting along fine. No reason for Donna to have a bug up her ass about it. The state cherry picked emails but that's not the whole story. There were ups and downs but Wendi and Donna were mostly chill and not freaking out all the time.
You see, you convince a jury that the divorce and relocation wasn't this hotly contested thing, it takes a lot of pressure off Donna. OK so she was pretty chill, no issue with Danny, no reason to do this. Then they can say well we'll never know why Charlie did this. But he acted alone.
This is actually not a bad defense. They seem to have discredited the jail house snitch. Assume you take a very rosy view of Donna Adelson that she's just this nice old grandma, that she was never irate about relocation. That she never confessed to anything or tried to flee to Vietnam, you're left with an outside chance of acquittal so long as the jury doesn't buy the states evidence. Conversely if the jurors believe Donna was turbo mad about relocating the motive is glaring and Donna is cooked. This witness is so in the tank for the Adelsons you wonder if she's on the payroll. "Yeah this custody battle wasn't contentious at all. By all accounts most people believe my client hired two hoodlums to bump off my son in law so I could take the kids to South Florida. But yeah, very routine proceedings. Very chill, mostly no one cared." ljl hopefully this backfires and the jury is mad as hell.
It's still 70/30 convict imo but it felt like 90/10 when the state rested. The defense clawed back a few points and left Donna with a couple outs. I think though that if the jury really look at the state's evidence, she's still completely cooked. It's still 'convict' but maybe we get totally surprised by the jury. They have to put on their thinking caps and look at the overwhelming evidence against her. Will they? Time will tell.

It was a rare misstep by Everett. It was like 3:30PM, he could have ended early and allowed first degree murder defendant to announce her decision at 8am.
I get that she has been in custody two years, and that the trial has lasted weeks, and that she had a long weekend, plus an early recess earlier in the week, all to prepare to make this decision.

i recall HAtp pointing out how badly the defense did. holy christ, i am watching robert adelson's testimony and the defense didn't object to virtually any of the leading questions, and the questions were all leading.
"would you say your mom is, like, an angry person?"
"yes"
"does she take a whole lot of interest in her grandkids, or does she kinda not care?"
"oh, she takes a lot of interest"
wtf. i've heard a couple hearsay objections (which were sustained), but this is awful lawyering by the defense.
and LMFAO at your own son testifying against you. donna must be a turbocunt.

Did you watch the opening statements? Holy fucking shit. The defense's opening statement was like 20 minutes long, most of which was spent talking about how sad it was that Dan Markel got murdered. It's like, is this an opening for the prosecution?
The other egregious error, IMHO, is that the defense made absolutely zero attempt to refute any of the "bump" conversations. Granted, there was only so much that they could do, but you could at least ask a few questions to muddy the waters a bit:
"After playing eight hours of recorded conversations, isn't it true that there is not a single mention of Dan Markel, much less a discussion of a murder for hire plot? And isn't it true there isn't a single conversation where my client talks about paying Katie for the murder? And isn't it true that Charlie Adelson clearly stated that Katie worked on weekends, so his mother would not have seen her in the office?" All it takes is for one juror to think, "Holy shit. After making me listen to recorded calls all day, there is no smoking gun on here. Maybe the prosecution is blowing smoke." Instead they made basically zero effort to refute any of it either during cross examination or closing statements.
Her attorney filed the motion from her “office” (a funeral home her family owns). Hopefully the court will treat this application with the level of respect it deserves.

“Where is the evidence Mrs. Adelson agreed; conspired; combined; or confederated with anyone else that Mr. Markel be killed? There is none,” the attorneys wrote.
Joshua Zelman and Jackie Fulford should be disbarred for this abuse of semicolons

It is unreal, this is fucking malpractice from the attorneys lol. It's just that Donna wants some of these Boomer clowns to relitigate the substance, and Uncle Phil is annoyed lmao

LMAO Donna is relitigating the merits, the judge interrupted her to let her know he's gonna slam the door on her if she kept talking because she had no lack of remorse, and she is still talking

I assume her attorneys are getting Jewed around by a bossy client, they know they're fucked and they just need to succumb to her demands so they don't face malpractice charges later, they can give advice but they gotta let the client do what the client wants to do

Wonder how much they're getting paid to argue that their client's 20 minute speech professing innocence and relitigating the entire case on the merits goes to 'character' and not facts. But also arguing that lack of remorse cannot be taken into account under sentencing. Wow! What a JOB. What a PROFESSION!

Judge Fudge taking a ten minute break to find a SCOTUS cite saying that the judge can take into account a defendant's lack of remorse with regards to sentencing

She's just fucking exhausting everything in the EXTREMELY UNLIKELY EVENT they get the murder charge thrown out. And for what? She's gonna be dead in 8 years, so who fucking cares if it's 10 or 30

Imagine being some mentally disabled goyim like the guy in the Texas shaken baby case who has been on death row for over 25 years in a case that can't be proven beyond a reasonable doubt but Donna Adelson is getting the Jewiest defense in legal history. Life is so unfair!
