GUILTY FL - Dan Markel, 41, FSU Law Professor, Tallahassee, 18 July 2014 - #7 *arrests*

[Gypsy Road]

I'll put in my two cents on this one as I can't sit on hands.

She put in writing in that about her marriage, and trashed him to the hilt! He, as a "good" husband with an out-of-control narcissistic wife, said that he did not read it. But you can be sure that he knew exactly what was in that book in my opinion. He said he did not read it perhaps because he did not want to have a confrontation and say

" you stupid b**ch, what the hell are you doing! Everyone knows that is not fiction and why are you trash-talking me" and escalating what she started .
(A la what she did with Jeff right before the murder?)

That, to me, showed he had extreme self-control! I could go on and on about this, but imagine somebody you are married to put your trash and her feelings out in a book so that all your friends and family could see. A one-sided presentation to them.

Him denying that he read it prevented the escalation from back and forth, which perhaps she was asking for and pushing for in my opinion.

He took the high road, as he pretty much had to do often when she tried to push his buttons in my opinion.

* steps off soapbox*

THIS! Thank you! Agree!!

Aside from all of this - it seems Wendi wasn’t ever truly happy with the marriage from the get go. Remember her friend saying she wanted to call it off? And then even Wendi says in her podcast that she thought she “could cheat the system and marry someone she lacked passionate love for”. The marriage, IMHO, was doomed from the beginning. I think Dan was completely in love with her - passionately and otherwise. It also seems that Dan was an old fashioned guy (much like my father) who assumed that Wendy would be ok with the sacrifices one must make in order for a marriage to thrive. Maybe it wasn’t a case of not seeing her as an equal, but that he was old fashioned in the sense that he thought the woman/wife was to be the primary caretaker of the children and household and that the husband was to be the breadwinner. Marriage is a give and take, but Wendi seemed to not be satisfied with the situation and choice she made to agree to move and settle in Tallahassee with Dan. Did she try to make the best of that decision? Did she accept the reality of her life? Did Wendi ever try to find employment on her own with a law firm outside of FSU? My guess is no, or if she did - no one wanted to hire her for whatever reason. What a sad tragedy Dan’s murder was. I don’t care if he was egotistical, opinionated, rude, abrasive, blunt, and all the other negative things that have been said about him. He in no way deserved to be slaughtered because his wife was a spoiled brat who wanted her way and to move to Miami. She made the choice to move and have children in Tallahassee with Dan. Some choices you must learn to live with and learn to make the best of them. Because of her - Dan is dead, and 2 little boys are without their daddy. Dan’s family and countless people are suffering because Wendi wanted her way.

Yeah that's the other side to ppl like this - they're never satisfied and it's always someone else's fault. It's never their choices or their responsibility . Someone else must always be blamed and play the villain in their never-ending operatic poor me performance. They have a very immature thought process when it comes to decision-making also. She probably didn't even find him all that attractive. It's all coming back to me now. I remember when I first heard about this story -- thinking to myself, 'well why did she have kids, why did she agree to move to Tallahassee only to quickly become resentful and angry with him?'. A lot of things just don't add up. And after seeing her on the stand. I'm convinced she's lying about it all! But she probably doesn't even think about it that way - I have no doubt she feels justified and to her he deserved what he got. It was his own fault, in her mind. All he had to do was give up his kids. SMH. Sadly, this is how they think.

Or every time the judge says, "move on".

Or...

Judge “Your question doesn’t make ANY SENSE! Rephrase!”

"He invited me to go deep sea fishing. He was so nice."- a text Adelson sent Magbanua after she asked if Garcia called him. #MarkelMurderTrialWTXL @abc27

April 25, 2014. You prob already know this, but today it came out that the idea that SG contacted CA to go deep sea fishing was a joke by CA to KM. JMO. Anyway -- this is from the end of the day yesterday, starting at at 1:14:15 here:

 

[clearskies1]

Closing arguments are going to be very interesting!

I hope the prosecution lawyers talk very very very slowly so that the jurors will get all the important dates.

I have to watch stuff two or three times to catch it, I can't imagine being a juror. Especially with all the financial and phone stuff that is being shown. I would be in the Jury Room asking for a YouTube feed to relook at stuff LOL

Totally agree. Only 6 trial days so far and so much information re cell phones, rental cars, jobs, cash, plus also hostile witnesses etc. There will be arguments and counterarguments on all of it. A lot to keep track of for everyone -- lawyers, the judge and jurors. And I agree with the poster who said the judge was awesome -- this judge is so smart. JMO.

I hope the MARKEL boys inherited their father's superior intellect, not their "mother's."

I thought it had captured that, but no I did not. Unfortunately.

But I did capture the screenshot that was shown where Km said to Charlie

"FaceTime me when ur not busy".

On 9/17

I haven't seen anything in any testimony from any Facebook Messenger or FaceTime stuff. But apparently, they communicated through Facebook.

Yet I never have seen anything about that in this case as to Facebook records?

They mentioned Facetime at some point today (I believe it was the female forensic accountant on the stand), but not Facebook to my knowledge.

Yes, view my attachment on my post above yours, and what was presented in court.

She specifically said in this evidence " FaceTime when ur not busy"

ETA blew up and reattach previous screenshot from today testimony

ETA #2 I see your point now! I had assumed that FaceTime was part of Facebook. But it is not. It can be used by anybody and it is a separate application. Thank you so much for educating me!

Ah, ok. My comprehension level is not on point at the moment after working while listening to that testimony all day and now having a cocktail lol. Can't wait for Monday to hear all the wiretaps.

Per my post above, the date of the "deep sea fishing" text btwn KM and CA was April 25, 2014. I provided a trial link where it was discussed.

Not quite "anybody." Only from iPhone to iPhone (unless things have changed since I had an Android....).

 

[TTF14]

If I were a witness being questioned by one of these aggressive/sarcastic defense attorneys, I'd say this before I answered every question: "I don't know why you're so sure I'll agree, but...." and then give my answer. Every single answer of mine would start like this since it's the defense's favorite phrase.

Jada E. Williams‏ @JadaEWilliams 2h2 hours ago
Donna Adelson says she doesn't understand what he's talking about. The undercover asks her to take care of his incarcerated brother (presumably Rivera) the way that she's taking care of Kaddie and Tuto (Magbanua and Garcia). #MarkelMurderTrialWTXL @abc27
