Well said. The problem is that much of the evidence against her is inferential. I would be concerned as the state attorney, and you add to the mix the fact that she is attractive and younger. You could end up with a Casey Anthony situation. But I'm hoping that there is a lot more from all the devices and, potentially, some other cooperation from other co-conspirators that will provide even more. A smart jury would conclude exactly what you said. The totality of the circumstances overwhelmingly show her involvement. Reason number one is how enmeshed that family was. Show the texts and the calls between DA and CA convincing her not to buy the house in tally. Play the taps of the calls between them plotting to make her see how great Dave was for her. Does anyone think in 1 million years as close as they all were that they would take out the father of her kids without her permission?
Driving by the crime scene after is hugely damning as is the fact that she told LE driving from the lunch when they picked her up to bring her back for the interview that, IN THE CAR WITH THEM, was the first time she heard the message from DM. DM left a voicemail for her regarding what they were to discuss about the school and him taking them swimming at 9:02 AM. HE TELLS WENDI HE IS LEAVING THE GYM AT 10:30. I've posted this elsewhere, but this is huge.
Charlie tried her at 9:12 AM. She called Charlie back at 9:19 AM. That was the 18 minute phone call. She also went on to call other people that morning. My point is that she told police she didn't know that Dan had called because she turned her ringer off because she was busy with the Best Buy guy. First, what parent turns their phone off when their kids are not with them. There would be no way to get in touch with you as the mom if something happens to your son. Second, the phone call and Voicemail would be on her home screen when she called Charlie only a few minutes later. Her feigning that she didn't know that Dan called her is a lie. The notification would have shown Jibbers on her phone. He tells her he is leaving the gym at 10:30.
She then speaks to Charlie for 18 minutes. Does anyone doubt that she passed along that message? Charlie then calls Donna and then Katie, all before 11. We do know that the killers were tracking Dan that morning anyway, so you could argue they followed him so knew he left.
WA also claimed in that police interview that in that 18 minute call with Charlie, CA said she should not be mad about Dan taking the kids swimming and should just let them go with their dad at 4:30. The truth is, since the calls were not recorded, we don't know what was said in those calls. It will be fascinating to see what the Best Buy guy was privy to. Did she stand in the same room with him speaking to Charlie? Did she go into another room to speak to Charlie?
The other thing is that I don't see the complete record of calls from KM to SG. I do not see where KM called Sigfredo after her call with Charlie that morning. SG calls Km at 12:30, after. I attribute that to a burner phone possibly conveying the information about 10:30. Also, I do not know if there is a way, and I assume that there is, to see when WA actually first heard Dan's Voicemail message that he left at 9:02 that morning. I have no doubt that it was right after he left it, but the question is, can it be proven?
The thing with Dan’s message is interesting. I recall that she said during the police interview that she didn’t hear it when it came in. BUT- I recall that at one point Isom sort of presses her on when she might have listened to it. It’s confusing. He first asks “so you two were going to speak at around 11:15?” (I think- it could be 11:45, but it’s definitely after 11 to my recollection, I’d love to have a transcript.)
She has not said this in the interview, so Isom may have heard it before the recording started.
In response, if I recall correctly, she says something about how she THOUGHT that was when they were supposed to talk, “but when we listened to the message,” it said Dan would be done with the gym at 10:30, and so they planned to talk around then. She doesn’t say who “WE” is. (That might be the cop who was with her in the car?). To me this implies that she listened to the message before 10:30, because says she planned to talk to him when he got out of the gym.
This whole exchange happens when she is going through her phone with Isom, and so she can see that she called Dan back sometime after 11.
Isom, from my recollection, again asks her exactly WHEN did she listen to the message? She says “maybe after the repair guy left?” Either way, I don’t think she first heard it in the car. (Though she might have played it again there).
The whole thing is weird, to me. The evidence is that Dan left a message a little after 9, which she claims in the interview that she didn’t get. But then, in the interview, I recall that she shows Isom a series of text messages between her and Dan at around 9:15. I believe these are about swimming- Dan wants to pick the kids up at school and take them swimming, but I believe she had been scheduled to pick them up that day. To me, it seems strange that when these texts came in, she wouldn’t have seen that there was a message from Dan on her phone. It also seems strange to me that Dan apparently didn’t mention the swimming in his earlier phone message, and that he doesn’t mention in the text wanting to talk about the boy’s school as he had said in his earlier message.
Aaaaanyway….About a minute after this text conversation about the swimming, she calls Charlie. She tells the police that he told her not to worry about the swimming. Is it possible that she called him because she was worried that Dan was now picking up the boys (assuming she knew about the murder plot, which we don’t know, of course)?
She seems difficult to pin down around when or if she heard Dan’s message. It’s certainly possible she did hear it when it came in, but we don’t know for sure. If that was the case, why wouldn’t she want the police to know that?
