Blaise L Gainey‏ @BlaiseGainey 1m1 minute ago
She says at first the agreement was 50/50. With them splitting school weeks and in the summer alternating week on/week off time sharing. She says she was relieved that she could stay in Tallahassee after she asked the courts if she could move to South Florida.

That motion was denied, but Wendi says she was pleased and happy at her job in Tallahassee.

Adelson has really not discussed much. She found getting divorced unpleasant, during the divorce her parents were angry with Markel, but the specifics the state has pointed to she has mostly responded "I don't remember"

Wait, so she requested permission to move with the kids, they said no, and she was like "phew! Didn't want to anyway!"

Jibbers - nickname given to Dan by Wendi. She says it wasn't derogatory although she never called him that to his face. Says she used it when he was being difficult or causing her pain.

Wendi Adelson said her brother did make a joke about wanting to put a hit on Dan, but buying a tv instead. He did buy her a tv as a divorce present. #MarkelMurderTrialWTXL @abc27


Blaise L Gainey‏ @BlaiseGainey 2m2 minutes ago
The complete joke was that he'd bought Wendi a TV to celebrate the divorce, But said at first he wanted to use money to put a hit on Dan. The TV was cheaper was the punchline.

Think she was offered "limited" immunity.

Meaning they can't use her testimony against her.

Meaning they can't use her testimony against her.

So, if she ends up getting prosecuted for her role in having her husband murdered (fingers crossed), they won't be able to use this testimony to refer back to in her trial?
