IMO. It is going to be even worse when they arrest and convict WA.Another blow for Dan Markel's two boys.
You can't hide this from a 13 & 14 yr old.
To think that some of Wendi's closest friends & supporters specialised in psych, social work and children and family welfare!
Ok, a picture is worth a million words. This photo sums it up and has me sobbing big tears. May peace be with the Markel family.
GC would not answer the press question about future trials...hmmm
IMO.He didn't have a snowballs chance in hell with that defense. He would have been better off going Pro Se with that foolish story.I don’t understand how Rashbaum could have believed Charlie’s story. I know he has to defend his client, but he certainly didn’t actually believe any of it, did he?
Shallow of me I know, but when will we see his new photo now that he’s been convicted? Will they shave his nasty head? What happens tonight? Does he stay in Leon county until sentencin
Good report.This isn't right and it's not what I recall Epstein saying. What happened is that Dan did not get a faculty vote because he had failed to garner support from voting faculty members. One problem was that they felt he was not engaged with the life of the faculty, often skipping out on paper presentations. Another was that a lot of the faculty members thought he was rude and dismissive of their ideas and strongly opposed him. Finally, he didn't really make any allies who would go to bat to try to overcome these objections and get him hired. I don't think UM hired Wendi at that point, she had barely graduated law school. Regardless, the reason Dan didn't an offer there was predominantly Dan himself.
Never seen it before tbh.Does anyone know if it usual that a defendant is handcuffed before the verdict is read In Florida? And they took his tie. That’s a dead giveaway it was a guilty verdict.
Yes, this is typical. And in a first-degree murder case (and others depending on the circumstances but especially when a mandatory life sentence is involved or there is a history of escape, violence, or unpredictable or noncompliant behavior) the defendant is usually wearing a stun belt too.Does anyone know if it usual that a defendant is handcuffed before the verdict is read In Florida?

I found that odd and was blaming it on his last act of defiance until I heard that CA was previously cuffed and his tie also removed from him and the defendant would not be asked to stand when wearing handcuffs.Charlie did not stand. I was hoping an officer would jerk him out of his chair. The attorney didn't even give him an elbow.
Wendi was not given immunity as I think you are understanding it. Her testimony simply cannot be used against her in a future proceeding as substantive evidence since she testified under State subpoena.) or even his sister
who got immunity when she testified. (Still shaking my head on that one, too.)

Stun belt, yes.Yes, this is typical.

It has nothing to do with the verdict. The verdict is not revealed until it is reviewed by the judge and published in open court.
In this instance, I think it was also to avoid being filmed by national MSM cuffed/shackled before the verdict read. He'll next appear at sentencing in full jail garb wearing restraints.I thought the Judge told him not to rise/stand when jury entered, as he was already shackled and they take great lengths to hide that from the jury
Throughout the trial.Did he blink his eyes excessively throughout the trial or was that just for the verdict? Today is the first day I’ve been able to see any footage.
During the trial, CA was constantly touching his face and covering his mouth with his hands. I didn't notice him blinking at all when testifying and believe today's excessive blinks was nerves. He had reason to be nervous -- even smart, rich liars are still liars. JMODid he blink his eyes excessively throughout the trial or was that just for the verdict? Today is the first day I’ve been able to see any footage.
Never seen it before tbh.
From experience of being on a jury no one else even saw our decision. Signed verdict was in our hands until we entered and handed it over...
Was wondering moreso if CA acted up while waiting for verdict which required him to be cuffed.
I mean the 3~ hour time frame was a dead give away so I'm sure everyone knew what was coming, but yah...Interesting
Neither of those cases were in Florida. The question was specific to Florida. I have only practiced in Florida, so I can only speak to Florida. I also have not practiced within the jurisdictions of every sheriff in Florida or before every judge in Florida. I have practiced in Leon County. I am simply speaking to what is “typical” in Florida.Stun belt, yes.
Ankle shackles or to the floor, also yes.
Never seen a defendants wrist cuffed before verdict in court.
I mean I can think of two recent volatile defendants (Taylor schabusiness - beat her own attorney, Letecia stauch - attacked LEO with a full monster can) who weren't cuffed before.
Maybe chuckles has been a menace behind bars, who knows.
Totally freak accident!Good job alexwood, you predicted it right on the money at post #252.
Oh, he seemed to do it frequently. A comment on a live feed during the trial referred to him as "Blinky Scissorhands"!Did he blink his eyes excessively throughout the trial or was that just for the verdict? Today is the first day I’ve been able to see any footage.
I missed him being brought in -- but know I can review what I missed. Did you actually see him walking into the courtoom with handcuffs on?It's weird that when the judge takes the bench for the verdict, he asks the attorneys "They still bringing out Mr. Adelson?" - like there had been some question as to his attending the verdict reading. I've never seen a defendant brought in handcuffed before, it does make ya ponder what may have occurred back in the holding cell.
