So, it was not GC but her boss that said she didn't get much sleep. Donna said that she did not want to get on the stand 'at this time.'. The fact that her attorneys spent an extensive time talking to her after that, in the evening, meant that GC needed to be prepared. What I have learned...

If Wendi and her friends were going to anomously 'workshop' their defense ideas where would they go? Reddit? Websleuths? other websites? Do you think Wendi would get on the stand so these ideas could be presented, if she is arrested and has a trial in front of a jury? Or would she have a...

This is a fascinating summary and what I think are suppositions based on looking at timing of what has been publicly shared. Have we seen any maps of where Wendi was by geolocation while she was driving around and on these calls? It seems likely the Tallahassee police would have that...

I do think it is more likely Wendi will have a stronger defense than the previous two Adelson trials, if she is arrested and tried, based on comments about the quality of her civil attorney. But most of the jurors thought the defense lack of sense for DA was due to lack of plausible information...

Of course people who are unable to set their preconceived notions aside will be eliminated. But look at Donna's trial , no one on that jury was knowledgeable about the case and they swiftly were able to declare Donna guilty If you were Wendi or Wendi's good friend- what advice would you give her...

Reading the book, The God of the Woods by Liz Moore. There is a quote from the book that says 'Rich people become most enraged when they realize they are going to be held accountable for their wrongs.'

How would you feel if someone set you up to take the fall for a murder? Think he is pretty even-handed in light of that! Bet he thanks his stars he decided to leave town early had evidence was found along the way he was were he said he was.

Donna's lack of tears and flare of anger when the judge read out the jurors' decision was for show. For people who still believe her story. Likely her grandchildren and people who testified on her behalf ( without being paid) and who have likely chosen not to follow the news as family members...

I don't believe she was wearing then at the beginning of the trial. Them was out for a few days, started using them when she returned. I imagined she was using them to hide any reactions she may have had to the testimony that was being presented. But hiding bruising after a fall makes sense.

Tim J on STS said that showing that video would be prejudicial. zi thought the defense did a good job of provoking the prosecution to show it, but in their wisdom did not take the bait.

My opinion only- Donna is directing this show. She wants to surprise the prosecution side with unknowns as to who will be presenting ( new person not previously put on defendants list of witnesses), what they will be presenting, nor how long they will be presenting the defense case. The...

Yes, he did talk about this in either his initial interview- pretty sure it was the first one. He came back in later at his initiation- with a list of notes / recollections that also pointed to Adelsons, but were more subtle data points.

In my opinion only: They are going to say the dental practice was no longer owned by HA, but by CA, per opening comments. Which will lead them to say CA asked for me (DA) to write these checks- I didn't ask questions. CA asked me to bring this money to his apartment- and she did as she was...

For those who work in the court room setting- how likely is it the jury will be sympathizing with a defendant who becomes emotional in the courtroom, but the people sitting behind the prosecution remain stoic? Seems odd to me.

Wow, that would be an important fact to bring up in both WA’s and DA’s testimony, if they get on the stand.
