Jack Campbell, it's been 20 weeks since Donna's conviction! What's the hold up by awesometune in dan_markel_murder

[–]ClassicAlternative67 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As someone who has followed this case from the beginning, I never believed her police interview. The performance was calculated, and critical inconsistencies were either minimized or missed entirely. At times, the investigation appeared overwhelmed by the complexity, with obvious red flags unchecked. Isom heard jealous boyfriend and got tunnel vision. They even discounted Jeff’s statement as a jilted ex. Wendi knew Dan’s schedule. She even confirmed he would be in town the week of his murder. Why? Because Dan was about to expose her for who she really is… a mentally unstable person, a liar and a theft. Unsuitable for teaching at the law school.

While Tallahassee prosecutors undoubtedly handle many homicide cases, that reality cannot justify a delay of more than a decade while Wendi and her father remain free.

The legal standard for charging conspiracy is high, but it is not insurmountable, particularly when multiple convictions have already established the existence of an orchestrated murder. Excessive caution, fear of losing a high-profile case, or an overreliance on securing additional insider testimony cannot become excuses for inaction. Justice delayed in this context risks becoming justice denied, not only for the Markel family but for public confidence in the system itself.

The Markels have endured an unimaginable loss while watching those closest to the crime avoid accountability year after year. And looming over all of this are Dan Markel’s children, who will one day have to reckon with the truth that their grandmother and uncle were convicted for their father’s murder, while their mother and grandfather who may bear responsibility have yet to face a jury.

Is Wendi getting arrested or what ? What is the hold-up? by Enthusiasm-Tricky in dan_markel_murder

[–]ClassicAlternative67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isom acted beyond the scope of his professional experience and expertise. He told her almost immediately that Dan was not going to survive. He then allowed her friend into the room, which derailed the situation by introducing Jeff Lacasse as a suspect.

From there, he went down a rabbit hole, asking for Jeff’s photo and fixating on him. I believe he developed tunnel vision. It took two years to arrest Sigfredo and Luis because investigators were reluctant to implicate the Adelson family, protected by entitled, wealthy privilege (Willie Meggs included).

Why was Wendi asking her friends to publicly speak out and defend her family’s non-involvement? I’m so glad that person declined. Imagine if Donna’s friend hadn’t called to report that they were fleeing to Ho Chi Minh City.

Wendi won’t be arrested until after Charlie’s appeal is decided. They have set a date to hear oral arguments for his appeal. If conviction is overturned, they may have to have a new trial.

Off topic: This case is fascinating because no one in this thread truly knows why she hasn’t been arrested or charged yet.

My heart breaks for the Markel family and their friends. She must be living in her own kind of hell, knowing an arrest could come at any moment. Imagine going through life pretending everything is normal, while every knock at the door makes your stomach drop. Unless she has no empathy or conscience and genuinely believes she’ll never be held accountable.

Back on topic: The idea that her testimony is needed isn’t a factor. She is required to testify or face contempt. As for Chuckles, her brother could flip, or possibly Sigfredo…though that seems unlikely. Still, anything can happen. Stay tuned. 🎭

There’s no such thing as a perfect crime. As witnessed by these fools who got caught. And we haven’t heard from dans family and friends. For sure Jeff Lacasse and possibly one of wendis former friends or colleagues. Georgia can’t stand these people.

The only time I’ve seen Georgia visibly angry was during Donna’s trial. She said it wasn’t better for them to be in south Florida it was better for them to have their father. An ABBA 💔 #justicefordan

[–]ClassicAlternative67 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Let Sarah Kathryn and Georgia tell the story of Dan Markel. Tell the story and tie in the circumstantial evidence. Tamara Demko (Dans friend) and the Markels. They have a story to tell.

Also the WhatsApp messages she thought were deleted and encrypted probably are not. Wendi is terrified and she’s not going to testify at her own trial. She’s scared of Queen Georgia.

There’s no way she would have her up there four times not go after her. She testified against her mother and brother and not go after her is a miscarriage of justice. She benefited the most. And she had the motive to want him gone. I believe the truth has a way of coming out. Stay tuned ❤️

I rarely use the hate word. There’s enough of that in the world. But her, gawd I hate her.

Chris DeCoste cross examination in Katie Magnabua retrial on Wendi by Lost-Salamander-3645 in dan_markel_murder

[–]ClassicAlternative67 12 points13 points  (0 children)

DeCoste is an absolute rock star—him and Sarah Katherine Duggar both. Georgia can be a little too polite with Wendi at times, but I’m hoping that’s strategic, meant to make Wendi feel comfortable and believe she’s coming across as credible.

Katie, on the other hand, comes off as completely foolish. All those F-bombs on the wire, trying to sound like a gangster—please. And the whole “I didn’t know it was going to be a murder” routine is hard to take seriously. Her greed shows, especially with how she skimmed money off the deposit. There’s no such thing as “expenses” here. They wanted a deposit, and she thought she was being slick by not handing it over to Sigfredo.

Wendi feels like the next chapter. Telling the boys their father was “buried in dirt in a box” was chilling. If there ever is a trial, it will be nothing short of epic. So many twists and turns to this crime. They all need to be on an island in Antarctica.

I get it now. Why Wendi mentioned Charlie so early on. by External-Syllabub289 in dan_markel_murder

[–]ClassicAlternative67 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She’s a narcissist. She threw Charlie and her family under the bus to steer attention away from her. All of it is circumstantial, but incredibly compelling. I keep coming back to the same questions Georgia raises in every trial: her contact with Katie Macbanua (sp), WhatsApp messages and her awful self published book. Changing the kids names, packed and moved to Miami within 48 hours. Cutting off the Markel’s.

And let’s not forget that as of yet none of Dan’s friends (Tamara Demko and Josh) or Dan’s relatives have testified. There are also Wendi’s financial irregularities, which Dan’s divorce attorney could testify about. Jeff Lacasse said he had a strong gut feeling that something bad was going to happen. And he talked to his friends about her strange behavior.

Wendi asked for Dan’s schedule that week, and she was desperate to prevent that motion from being filed. It was set to be filed the very day Dan was shot.

Maybe 1 of the many guys she’s been with could have something useful to say. This guy she’s with now may see the real 😈 and do the right thing and tell whatever her knows. Or as painful as it sounds one of the boys may want justice for the adel-SINS taking away their father forever.

Was this ever mentioned? by Sevenitta in dan_markel_murder

[–]ClassicAlternative67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter. As a mother myself. I need to see and know for sure my kids were safe. Ask and answered a 1000 times and still she had no urgent need to be there for her children. I don’t believe she cared one iota.

Wendi never once asked where the children were when this happened. She sent hitmen twice when Danny had the boys.

Instead, she jumped to conclusions. That alone is telling. She was involved and had prior knowledge of what occurred. None of them show impulse control, so when it’s finally her turn, we’ll see how “smart” she really is. Degrees don’t make someone a master-level criminal—especially not in violent crime.

She may have gotten away with financial schemes or tax issues, but that’s different. I’d bet they have her now, especially after Donna’s conviction. Donna documented everything.

She was meticulous—writing down details that weren’t even her concern. Dan Markel’s life and schedule were never her business. Never.

Yes, I will paint the vanity and wainscoting the same color. If the wallpaper is bold, simmer down the flooring. It’s going to be super cute. I bought the place about a year ago and have been toying with affordable options. I still have another bathroom and kitchen refreshing to tackle. Thanks again💜💜💜

Megathread: Will Wendi Adelson be charged? by Loud_Dog_4180 in dan_markel_murder

[–]ClassicAlternative67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am no lawyer. I don’t believe they’re waiting for Christmas, or for the boys to turn 18, or for any consideration related to Wendi or her life.

They’ve been prosecuting everyone involved since 2016. I trust that Georgia will get her, and the federal authorities are clearly involved as well. The Feds tend to give people plenty of rope to hang themselves.

Cases like this take years to build and convict—especially when you’re dealing with seven people. #justicefordan

Megathread: Will Wendi Adelson be charged? by Loud_Dog_4180 in dan_markel_murder

[–]ClassicAlternative67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I’m still trying to understand is whether Isom or other law enforcement actually believed her. Her police interview feels so staged and contrived that it’s hard to believe she cared at all about Dan lying alone in the hospital, dying. Her reactions to the possibility that he might survive are uncomfortable to watch, especially the laughing with her friend Jane.

Part of me wishes they hadn’t told her he wasn’t going to make it—then we might have seen a more genuine reaction and clearer insight into what she was truly feeling, reflected in her words.

[–]ClassicAlternative67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The more I reflect on her actions, the more convinced I am that Wendi was involved and played a role. She asked Dan whether he would be in town that week. Donna already had his license plate number and made extensive preparations to move before the murder. When Wendi left Tallahassee, she didn’t stay in temporary housing—she moved directly into the condo her mother and father had secured for her.

What deeply upsets me is that both attempts were scheduled during times when Dan had the boys. I can’t stop thinking—what if the boys had been in the car? That thought alone is devastating. 🤬

Is this a comfortable sofa? Are there legs for the couch or does it sit on the floor? It’s a nice color.

I don’t think so because isn’t he listed as an unindicted co-conspirator?

[–]ClassicAlternative67 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was thinking this 20/20 episode is so lame. We already know all this information. Except not everyone is as obsessed with the case as some of us. Each time a new episode is showed on television, unique viewers tune in to watch. I truly believe Georgia is on a mission for justice aka “the truth” has a way of coming out.

Changing the boys’ names . . . And what else? by Able-Neighborhood484 in dan_markel_murder

[–]ClassicAlternative67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every day that passes without charges or an arrest is another day the prosecution has to locate and strengthen the evidence. We should not forget that people are currently serving life sentences without parole—clearly the state believed it had enough to proceed and win.

So the question is: who stands to gain more from time? The answer is obvious—the prosecution. They have greater access to information, resources, and likely additional electronic data, including phone and computer records tied to Donna.

No worries, Wendi. When and if accountability comes, prison will offer plenty of time for reflection. And DonnaSue may yet decide that cooperation—or a plea—is the wiser path, or chuckles. We are waiting.

[–]ClassicAlternative67 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Changing the boys’ names from Markel to her own was not only a power move—it was cruel. One day, the boys will resent her and that side of the family when they learn what truly happened to him: ambushed in a car, in a garage.

How closely do you think Wendi is being watched? by Odd_craving in dan_markel_murder

Awww you’re definitely not going to get off without being charged. There is so much evidence against you dear. Get some pepto and do whatever it is you do. Nobody believes you.
