They thought they had hung up the call but had not, that is why I tend to believe the Wendi stuff is for real. It was recorded accidentally.

I think they knew the calls were recorded, but they didn’t know the phone was still connected. They weren’t talking to Charlie anymore.I'm not going for it. DA and even HA knew those jail calls were being recorded. And for sure CA knew also. I think everything that was said and revealed was in order to protect WA in the long run. Another tangled web those low life's wove together .
Agreed about Wendi’s text, JMOTrue on DA's end, but Wendi's texts to her mom were for the investigators because she knows her mom's phone could potentially be confiscated
I’m sure she’ll try. The judge will attempt to seat a jury before that will happen. Tallahassee is a state government and college town. Lots of in/outs in the population of Leon County. It’s been 9 years since Dan was murdered. Lots of news now, but it may be a year or two before the trial. The court will call hundreds. I believe the judge will be able to seat a jury, regardless of the faces DA will make during voir dire.As much as Charlie railed on Tallahassee, I bet Donna is going to go hard for a change of venue. I wonder if she'll get it.
I think that it’s reasonable that even a Miami jury might find the evidence sufficient to convict.I’m sure she’ll try. The judge will attempt to seat a jury before that will happen.

Totally agree. Gigi really crams a lot into each episode — all excellent, factual compilations.All -- you can quote me that You Tube "Pretty Little Lies and Alibis" (Gigi host) is WS approved to link on the main thread.
PL&A recently started a series on the Murder of Dan Markel, the trials, and alienation of his children, and I think the count is now at 8 episodes.
Gigi's videos are guest free and generally limited to about 45 minutes of factual information. IMO, she's a great source to keep current on a case or trial.

RSBM -It was also interesting to hear CA say that he basically has no chance on his appeal because the judge let in all the evidence the defense wanted to present.
It is absolutely clear that his gut instinct was to run.In one of the other calls to an unidentified older male, he says "I should have taken a vacation."
Indeed. Not a single mention in his call about his life-threatening extortion or Katie. I would have been cursing my extorter. He is already planning his future as a lifer, talking about protective management and an in person visit now and again in several months. He knows any appeal is a formality and his fate is sealed. Did anyone catch Bri asking if they should get married?I've now listened to a few hours of CA's jail calls. One thing that's striking is that he never once says: "I'm innocent! I was extorted! I told the truth on the stand! " If I were convicted of a crime I didn't commit, I'd be screaming "I'm innocent!" at the top of my lungs to anyone within earshot.
Most of CA's complaints are about how he could never get a fair trial in Tallahassee, how Cappleman bamboozled the jury by "painting a picture" and playing up her Southern accent, and how the jury never really deliberated. He doesn't spend much time at all on the actual evidence, and never on the evidence that points to his guilt (e.g., the Dolce Vita recording). The actual evidence he seems most focused on is Wendi's book, and the brief testimony by his ex-friend Ryan Fitzpatrick, whom he wants to remind everyone was NOT his "best friend." Both of those were extremely minor parts of the state's case, and I'm 100% sure he would have been convicted if neither had been mentioned in the trial at all.

Re visits, the website says no on-site visitation is allowed, except for doctors and attorneys. Leon County Sheriff's Office > Departments > Detention Facility > Inmate Visitation and RulesDoes anyone have any idea why he wasn’t allowed visits or outside time in the jail? Am I correct that this is what he claimed? It certainly explains his ghostlike appearance.
B_NG_ !!!!or, since the Adelson's removed DM from WA's life as planned; they are no longer of use to WA, actually they are a liability.
This! I’ve been swamped all day and it’s the first chance I’ve had to look at any of this. I was coming to post this to see what other people thought. I think they are playing 3-D chess. This was all part of a plan to try to let WendI have plausible deniability. They knew that Donna was going to be arrested at some point, so they decided to save WendI. WA will say that her family did this behind her back, she found out, and now she’s not speaking to them anymore. All that to me was performance art. I don’t believe it. The whole conversation.I'm not going for it. DA and even HA knew those jail calls were being recorded. And for sure CA knew also.
