Tara Kawass, an excellent defense attorney, continues with the embarrassing and desperate defense of Katherine Magbanua by making a baseless "Motion to Compel" - I discuss the issue here''

Sorry for the excessive posts but this case has my blood boiling. There's been a lot of debate about whether Wendi Adelson was involved, directly or indirectly. To those people who believe she wasn't involved:
1. The killers knew that Dan Markel had to be murdered before noon on July 18th because he was going out of town. How?
2 . Luis Rivera was convinced that he saw her and her sons the day before the murder walking next to Markells house to make sure that they were there to do the job. A couple hours after the murder, Garcia phones Magbanua to tell her its done and she already knew about it. How did Magbanau know? Was it because Wendi Adelson already told Charlie?
3. Her cell phone records have her in the vicinity of the crime scene about an hour after the murder. Why is she there? She tells police that she often drove by her old house on Trescott "as a way to deal with the divorce" like she was somehow emotionally not over Dan Markel, when we know that she spent months avoiding him in person and even on the phone and in fact, hated Dan Markel.
4. Donna Adelson booked her an appointment to fix her "TV" for the day of the murders, a week before the murders. The same "TV" Charlie Adelon joked was cheaper to buy than to hire a hitman. Also, Donna Adelson on the wire talks about the extortion attempt for $5,000 and tells Charlie Adelson that "this TV is going to cost $5,000".
5. She is physically ill on June 4 on coffee date with then boyfriend Jeff Lacasse and wont tell him whats bothering her. June 4th was the killers first trip to Talahassee.
6. She tells police that maybe Jeff Lacasse killed Markel and she could see why he would be a good suspect. She knew that Lacasse was scheduled to leave town the afternoon of the murder but unbenownst to her, he changed his plans and luckily had an alibi.
7. Who benefitted the most from Dan Markell's murder? She got what the courts wouldn't give her - full custody of her sons and moved to south Florida within 48 hours of the funeral. A move that was prevented by court order.
8. She stopped communicating with the cops after her initial police interview and lawyered up. Its probably smart on her part because in the police interview, one of the most interesting things I found was what Wendi Adelson didn't say. For someone who was apparently shocked to find out about her ex-husbands murder and with no details about when or where it happened - she never once asks about the safety of her sons. Her sons were with Markel the day of the murder. She doesn't know if it was a home invasion in the middle of the night. Or a car wreck. Or anything. And she doesn't ask about her sons for 19 minutes and 57 seconds into her interview. The very first and maybe the only question she should have been asking about the death of an ex-husband she obviously hated was WHERE ARE MY SONS? WERE THEY THERE WHEN THIS HAPPENED? I NEED TO SEE THEM NOW. Instead, we get a bunch of nonsense like asking the police to call Markel "Danny" cause its more personal and trying to come up with who might do this other than the people who obviously did it.
9. Divorce records show that she was to be deposed by Markel and his lawyers before the murder and the subject of the deposition was her apparent fraud in the divorce proceedings (not declaring certain bank accounts in her financial statement) AND whether Donna Adelson should be allowed unsupervised visits with her kids. Markel was threatening to go after her law license on the fraud. Donna Adelson was her only child care for Wendi - her parents would drive up for her weeks with the kids and do everything for her. She was potentially losing that.
10. Even if she wasn't involved in the murder, she has surely come to understand all the evidence against her brother and her mother and their direct involvement. Instead of separating herself from the people who actually murdered her children's father, she has doubled down and protected them by lying on their behalf and continues to have the same close relationship she had before the murders. At the same time, she has completely abolished Dan Markel's family from visitation with their grandkids and changed the kids names to erase his memory. At the very least, she is a vile, self-absorbed psychopath. That is the least we can say about Wendi Adelson. Anyone who doubts this, needs only to listen to her police interview or her podcast - where she is the true victim from how Markel - who was assassinated in his driveway "made her suffer."
agree with all and yet there is more. the breaking up with her boyfriend just before the murder; the buying of a "bulliet" vodka on the way to check out the murder had happened; the fact that the one sane brother has gone on record to say he understands his family involvement and has severed ties with them, while she continues to live in close knit with them; the picture of her and magbauna in bikinis at the beach, while she denies knowing her; the extra motivation to get dan out of the picture when he started dating a more accomplished woman.
The sad truth is that they are being totally brainwashed by the Adelson family and chances are they will never know the real truth unless the Adelsons are arrested, charged and convicted-- right now that possibility is not promising.

Florida professor’s murder puts focus on grandparents’ rights
''As Ruth and Phil Markel continue to grieve the death of their son, their loss has continued to grow.
It’s been five years since the Markels have seen their grandsons Benjamin and Lincoln, after Adelson stopped allowing the boys to have contact with their “bubbe” and “zayde.”
''Despite their pleas, the Markels almost certainly won’t be reunited with their grandchildren unless the Florida Legislature intervenes.
But it will be at least another year before lawmakers step in to help, if they even can.
Parts of the Florida Constitution and the U.S. Constitution establishing privacy rights prevent the Markels from having access to their son’s children and make it difficult for lawmakers to come up with a solution, the Senate Children, Families, and Elder Affairs Committee heard during a workshop on Tuesday.''

Family, friends of Dan Markel push for Florida grandparent visitation rights
“This year has shown all of us what it feels like to be isolated from family. But as the world becomes safer from COVID, still too many of us face alienation of a different form. There is no vaccine to protect grandparents in circumstances like the ones my family has faced,” said Ruth Markel, Dan Markel’s mother, during a prerecorded video played before the Senate committee.''
“Only some of those responsible for his murder have been convicted, and the investigation is still ongoing.”
''Dan Markel’s friend Jeremy Cohen said given the two young boys age when their father was killed, he suspected they didn’t have many memories of their paternal grandparents.
“We’re here because Phil and Ruth deserve access to their grandchildren. The boys deserve to know their family and where they came from,” he told he Senate committee. “You can pave the way to brining a ray of light back into the Markel family.”
Information gleaned from the US whitepages online - but there is a risk this is out of date information. I found this from the far side of the world -
DONNA'S CURRENT ADDRESS IS
450 Alton Rd Apt 1502
Miami Beach, FL 33139 - Indications are that Charles J Adelson also lives at this address.
I can't get more information on their housing status than this. - is this Apartment owned by someone else and rented to them ? Who really owns the appartment ? Where did they live previously ? Who owned that ? What about other real estate owned by the Adelsons and rented to others ??
Can someone find out the details of any luxury cars owned, especially those owned by Charlie Adelson ? Approximate book values , make, model and registration number for them ? We know he used to have a Ferrari - does he still have it and if so, what are the details. ? It is all about getting a picture of their asset wealth in case someone in Canada wants to litigate in civil court for wrongful death at some stage.
For those in Florida - don't be apathetic - there are things you can find out ; make a difference !! If you don't feel confident putting information here you can open a private discussion or even - data could be dropped onto the Files section of the GroupsIO page of QRP Labs (an electronics group) and then an interested party could pull the data from there (You'd still have to join that group of course but it provides more electronic distance is that is what the User wants).
Here are a couple of useful emails for the local police chief , Revell and secondly for the State Attorney , Campbell - but don't waste the time of these chaps with Dreck - be to the point - and include documents (This applies to criminal issues).
But for property / asset data - post it on the site or contact me, KidonGadol

Is this, well, "pace" typical in the US? This thing seems to have dragged on endlessly. Our court system in Finland is not known for its speed but compared with this our process seems like a crazy sprint...
