no need for fancy gadgets. most people already voluntarily carry a device with GPS in their pockets which can be easily tracked -

I know LE is holding back on evidence related to the As. As you may recall LE was furious over leaks early on that compromised the cases of those yet to be charged.

My take on WA interrogation is she was hit with many emotions all at once. Her demeanor bedside would be telling.

My take on WA interrogation is she was hit with many emotions all at once. Her demeanor bedside would be telling.

BBM JMO, her demeanor in the interview was very telling. She immediately presumed someone wanted Dan dead, rather than suspecting he was killed secondary to road rage or an armed robbery. When assuming a premeditated murder, she didn't suspect a former UF student as other UF employees and students did; but readily made reference to her own family as potential suspects. WA was very quick to distance herself from the rest of her family, at their expense.

IMO, this is why the prosecution has refrained from implicating WA despite the info on Dan's schedule supplied to SG and LR, and WA's failure to contact Dan about a disturbance on the street where her children were staying during an out-of-the-way excursion to a liquor store, among other things. GC knows that CA and DA are unwilling to implicate WA. IMO, enough evidence of WA's involvement will trickle out as the case proceeds through the justice system. JMO

Garcia, who is awaiting trial in connection with Markel’s killing, reportedly referred to the woman as “Don Adelson.”

Funny given it's both short for Donna and a synonym for crime boss.

A tracking device would give SG information on DM's immediate whereabouts but in order to learn that DM was going out of town later - as SG knew - someone had to have told him.

My source a PI I used a while back says arrests are [FONT=Roboto-Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, HelveticaNeue, sans-serif-light, Arial, sans-serif]imminent!! He said they are taking their time. [/FONT]

You are right. I forgot about that

i hope so but "imminent" and "taking their time" is an oxymoron. i don't think your guy knows anything.

LOL, I thought the same thing.

Bottomn line is CA/DA going down. Wendi walks.

Also, the records do not show any phonecalls to G & R that morning.

Thats because Luis said they once again scouted the area out the day before.

IMO it's going to be a long hard slog. Masterminds won't be arrested until after KM is tried, convicted, and sentenced. Only then will she finally wake up and realize she is being duped by her lawyers and the guy who's paying them and his attorney. GC wants a slam dunk on the masterminds and the best way to get that is from a KM flip and she's willing to wait until she has the leverage. GC will knock them down like dominos one by one.

I've posted this before, but I can't fathom that two young lawyers would risk their careers and livelihood for KM and/or to placate another attorney. This makes sense to me and my thinking is that they are playing hardball to get the best deal. We saw this play out with Rivera.

Yup it's about as far fetched as a young successful dentist (and his mother) risking his career livelihood freedom and possibly life to hire a hitman to kill his sister's ex-husband over a custody issue. Unfathomable!

Alert to Correction

A WS poster answered my question about how cell towers work, saying that phones always connect to the closest tower.
I joined Quora only recently and forget to use it. There are highly technical answers explaining how cell towers work.
Following is an edited answer, from a Digital Signal Processing Engineer (DSP) which corrects the information I posted about the phone records. In fact, tower proximity is not always the determination.

Gonzalo Perez, EE & DSP engineer
Written Feb 10

As explained in the other answer, phones have isothropic antennas that radiate in all directions like lamps. The base stations use directional antennas, each using a set of frequencies such that no antenna interferes with its neighbors.
The phone doesn't know where the station is, only tracks the signal from the stations close to it, and will pick the one with the strongest level, or switch to another station otherwise (roaming mode).
During calls, the phone maintains two conversations: one between users through the assigned voice channel, and another through a special service channel between phone and station, to track signal quality and other parameters, and may transfer the call to another station with better signal (hand-over) or stop the call if the signal is too weak or by network command (no credit, for example).

Good point.
Also. Speaking of KM's lawyers, they are not "just out of law school" as I interpret the description "young lawyers". Not even close.

CD joined the bar in 2005 and TK joined in 2008 according to the floridabar.org website/lawyer search

I think Really Busy's statement ("but I can't fathom that two young lawyers would risk their careers and livelihood for KM and/or to placate another attorney") could be a reflection of his/her own professional integrity

Please elaborate on how the optimal plan is to get someone to snitch *after* they have gone through jury trial, been convicted, and sentenced. Are you even aware of any legal mechanism to vacate a conviction and sentence, not based on any legal error like in an appeal, but based simply on the agreement of the parties due to subsequent cooperation by the defendant? There are laws and procedural rules that govern this kind of thing, you know.

Even assuming for purposes of argument that such a thing was possible, it makes zero sense. Cooperating witnesses are always subject to credibility attacks by defense attorneys due to the benefits they received for cooperation. It's hard enough for a prosecutor to bolster a witness's credibility when they received a plea to a lesser charge due to their cooperation. This challenge would be exponentially greater if a witness was literally convicted and sentenced to life in prison and then received a do-over and a few years because they decided "oh wait, yeah maybe I do have some valuable information to share..."

I'm not trying to be flippant here, I just really don't understand this line of thought, to say nothing of my inclination that it is legally, procedurally impossible in the first place.

Killer's sentence reduced in exchange for testimony
MAY 3, 2013

County prosecutors secured two convictions in the 2006 slaying of a Glen Burnie dentist with the cooperation of the woman who concocted the murder-for-hire plot. In exchange for her testimony at the trial of co-defendant Dante Jeter, 38-year-old Shontay Hickman had her sentence reduced Thursday from life to 40 years in prison.
