edited to add: Would like thoughts on who/what and how he fits into this crime: Milquetoast? financier? CA follower? passive/aggressive? DA follower? sympathetic father? morally empty? in denial, stepped away reality?

Ha ha thanks

I think HA despised DM, perhaps more so than any of the other Adelsons, which might be why his 70th birthday present was the execution of DM. But I think he was the one that was perhaps a bit more cognisant of what the risks were and what the consequences they faced if charged plus what they stood to lose. He probably was on the fence and his used car salesman son,swayed him, selling him the idea that this was the perfect crime. There was no way they would be caught, trust the maestro. DA would have reinforced this. I think CA and DA both sensed his reticence and deliberately kept him out of the plan, something that was alluded to a few times on the bump calls.

I don’t think Harvey is a milktoast, at all. I do think he tended to go along with what his wife wanted, but I think he was capable of standing up to her. I agree with this post.

You may know this. I was reviewing the OMDB podcast -
Wendi’s friends Tracey and Abigail (I went back to get heir names I’d forgotten) seemed to have some info on her relationship with Dan. I’m wondering why the state wouldnt have contacted them.

Per the podcast, I think Abigail is Abigail Shrier, who in addition to being a lawyer, is a very well-known author and journalist. In the podcast, they describe Wendi and Dan introducing her to the man who would become her husband at the wedding of mutual friends. I don’t remember whether it said she was originally friends with Dan or with Wendi, maybe she was friends with one, and her eventual husband was friends with the other.

In any event, Dan and Wendi, in my opinion, were very well-connected. In my opinion, I don’t think the A family appreciated how well-known Dan was in the legal and Jewish communities, and how many intelligent, influential and outspoken people would want his murder solved.

@PayrollNerd - So I have 9/12/24 final pretrial hearing coming up - anything else "new"?

Leon County #23CF3226A

TIA!

I don't remember how to look up this case. This is the only screen that has options. What is the name I'm to search for? I've tried the case number and can't get it to come up with anything.
