Lol! He definitely seems to have a type!"I've gone to family dinners and they never talk about what happened to Wendi's ex-husband. I did ask once and Charlie said he was murdered. That was it."
Ummm, does she think they would actually discuss their involvement in a contract killing over Sunday dinner?? Wow. He sure knows how to pick em.
For nearly two days, jurors heard recorded phone calls and reviewed video and other evidence in the case against Sigfredo Garcia, 34, and Luis Rivera, 33. They also heard from Tallahassee Police investigators and civilians.
Meggs said he couldn't comment on whether his office was seeking indictments for anyone in the Adelson family.
They were not indicted. Today," Meggs said. The case is still being investigated and it will continue to be investigated."
The grand jury, which is generally impaneled for six months, will return in mid-July to hear more information in the case.
Investigators say more arrests are pending.
Tallahassee criminal defense attorney Tim Jansen said it was not unusual for grand jurors to be retained, but in the Markel case, it points to a continuing investigation and more indictments.
It clearly tells me they're focusing on indicting other people and relatively quickly, Jansen said.
Garcias Ft. Lauderdale attorney Jim Lewis will argue for his client to be released on bond in a hearing on Friday. He said he is not surprised grand jurors indicted his client.
You know what they say, a good prosecutor could indict a ham sandwich if they can, Lewis said. In Tallahassee, it seems like a ham sandwich could be indicted for not being Kosher.
Can we expect a plea deal for one of these two, to roll over on the BIL/MIL?
Dang. Sort of off topic. I guess since I'm originally from Fort Lauderdale I have 30 friends in common with June U on FB. Some interesting things on there. Lots of pics with Charlie. Not sure if posting about it would support doxxing, though?

For anyone interested in restrictions on the press, the Florida Bar has published Reporters Handbook - Grand Juries. From the handbook:
The United States Supreme Court has enumerated the policies underlying grand jury secrecy:
- The fear that witnesses will not come forward voluntarily if their identity is not protected;
- The fear that witnesses will be less likely to give full and frank testimony if their identity is known so that they become subject to retribution or inducements;
- The risk that the indicted will flee if indictments are made public prior to arrest;
- The danger that a potential defendant might influence the votes of grand jurors; and
- The protection of the reputation of an individual who is accused but not indicted by the grand jury.
Keep in mind one of the men indicted for murder, Luis Rivera aka King Tato, is a member of the Latin Kings and was the leader of the North Miami tribe. A recent conviction landed him in federal prison until 2026. The previously linked DOJ press release re: arrests of 29 violent offenders including Rivera, states the Kings operate in at least 39 states. The first indictment alleges those arrested:
... conspired to violate the federal RICO statute through a pattern of racketeering activity that consisted of multiple acts and threats involving murder, robbery, kidnaping, narcotics trafficking, witness tampering and retaliation, and fraud.
This Sun Sentinel's article about his conviction notes "the gang's forceful presence in prison". A 2014 Orlando Sentinel article discusses the Latin Kings in Florida, including in the prison system.
His being in prison does not render him powerless. Turning on his co-accused isn't the only option available to him.
What do you mean by "immediately afterwards" ? I wouldn't consider a 450+ miles drive as "immediately". And if she was in the Tallahassee area within less than 6hrs of the notification of the murder, I would wonder how that was possible.
We don't even know where WA was living when she returned to Tallehassee with the kids. Maybe she didn't need someone to help her with the kids during the week. Maybe they were at daycare all day while she was working. Same with Dan. I believe that was part of Dan's beef, though. That WA used others to watch the kids when he was available (but it wasn't his week.)
I just took a look at her FB. It made me feel sad for her if she was truly unaware of any of this.

I'm sorry, are you saying that Donna Adelson was in Tallahassee at the time of the killing? Can you provide any evidence to that effect or anything that suggests she was in Tallahallsee as Dan was getting killed?

When you feel sad, think of latex husband. That cures me every time.
