Could Dan Markel's ex-wife face charges later?
"We spoke with Don Pumphrey, a criminal defense attorney. He cleared some things up about Adelson's testimony.
He says that after this case is over, what Adelson said during her testimony can not be used against her if the state attorney decides to charge her at a later time.
However, if the state attorney can provide an independent legitimate source to provide evidence against her, then she could be charged.
"The testimony can't bite her, but the information that comes from an independent legitimate source, not derived from that testimony which she is immune from, could definitely have some teeth," said Pumphrey."
Ex-lover and hitman testify in Markel trial
"Tuesday brought explosive testimony in the murder trial of two people accused of killing FSU law professor Dan Markel in 2014.
Jeffery Lacasse dated Markel’s ex-wife Wendi Adelson for about nine months.
Taking the stand, Lacasse said five days before the law professor was murdered in his garage Adelson told him something that made his stomach turn.
“She said that Charlie had explored all options to take care of the problem, and that he had looked into having professor Markel killed. It would cost about $15,000. And so I didn’t know what to make of it, my stomach kind of flipped. It was like a chilling statement,” said Lacasse.
The former boyfriend was also asked about a dinner two weeks after the murder.
“These are her words. She said Charlie and I went to what he described as a celebration dinner,” said Lacasse."
"Wendi Adelson testified on Friday that she did try to drive by Markel's house about an hour after the murder. A police officer on the scene said he’d been alerted to look for the make and model of her car."
