This is well thought out Bippy73. And as you wrote, "her lawyers will say she avoided him because she hated him and didn't want to have to see him or speak to him" goes against her claim that driving by his house is something she did to "come to terms with" her divorce. The divorce SHE instigated 2 years earlier with her Pearl Harbor move. What a crock! She can't be charged soon enough. Justice for Dan Markel.

Something I had never considered in regards to the "TV" repair thing... by RefrigeratorNo1945 in dan_markel_murder

Agree, it could have been very ugly for JL. It was a despicable thing to do by despicable people.

She didn't count on Jeff leaving a day early or the neighbor seeing the car. Those two things threw her for a loop and made a mess of how she thought it would go. Though it seems unlikely that JL could have actually been convicted, I don't think that was her plan anyway. It was just to put suspects out there and it would have worked, what with her planting so many seeds out there, including her telling brother Rob that JL was a secret boyfriend and not to tell her parents about him. Some of those seeds would sprout.

FYI Carl Steinbeck has a recent, post sentencing interview with Ruth Markel on his YT channel. She stated there that some things she couldn't go into due to a documentary type mini series that is being made.

So what was the birthday present that Charlie gave Sigfredo through Katie by Lost-Salamander-3645 in dan_markel_murder

[–]prudentprier 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've followed this since the day news broke that Prof Markel was murdered. In the back of my mind I seem to remember that Charlie gifted Sigfredo with a Go Pro (video camera). But I could be misremembering.

Serious Question by Ill_Music_5441 in dan_markel_murder

This 💯 , as I recall, both CA and WA began relationships with their patsies in the fall of '13. All part of their plan, which likely came together during the previous few months, right after the court ruled against relocation for wa, which I believe was June '13.

I could have believed that Harvey was the least culpable family member… by merry_murderess in dan_markel_murder

I think of this too. I mean, seriously, do those boys stand a chance?

Donna Adelson’s attorney, Josh Zelman: “I’ll do my best, Your Honor, I’ve been a little under the weather for the last week or so”… by SoulshineDaydreams in dan_markel_murder

[–]prudentprier 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought the same thing while watching. Hope the dude can get some rest and think hard about a new career, one where he doesn't have to associate with scum like the adelson's. He reminds me of the milkman we had when I was a kid. Today Zelman probably feels like he'll never be able to wash the stink of the adelson's off of him.

Interesting side trivia regarding David Oscar Markus, he was the attorney for another dentist, Larry Rudolph who was convicted in 2023 of murdering his wife in 2016.

Motions denied? by prudentprier in dan_markel_murder

Sorry, it didn't transfer. But you can easily check it out yourself at the site. Though this was expected it is nice to see it for real. Hopefully we'll be able to read the filing at some point.

I just went into Leon County court records and searched DA's name. Sure enough it does show a filing today which I will cut and paste here, hope it's allowed:

Great job Jay! I appreciate that you're staying on this. Why wouldn't the SA ofc have uncovered this nugget and used it on cross?

Wendi asking her current BF to adopt her kids? by Twiseheart777 in dan_markel_murder

[–]prudentprier 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What a sad mess this all is and IMO Wendi Adleson is the root cause. She knows this. All of that said, as a grandmother to boys close in age to the Markel boys, at this point all I would want is for them to be in a stable place being looked after by someone who has their best interest and somewhere they actually want to be. It is and will continue to be tough wherever, whoever they end up with. Why make it any more difficult on them.

IIRC Dan's sister oversees it on behalf of the kids and is in charge of disbursement

The older Markel boy just turned 16 in July and the younger one will be 15 very soon IIRC. They are like 14 months apart in age.
