Thank you @FreddyG for your well reasoned and non emotional reply.

I, on the other hand, am emotional about this case and have been since the beginning. But I can't say I'm totally unreasonable.

There are too many instances in this murder that screams her involvement.
Reading excerpts from her book indicated to me, albeit the name changes, that she despised him. It was always a struggle for power and he had more than she did in Tallahassee and probably would have had in the long range plan of ambitions and familial contacts. Some of her anger I can understand.

I could list all the reasons but I'd rather not link them. Too difficult and I'll leave that to the prosecutors.

She has achieved what she always wanted. Home in South Fl, working for a well known immigration judge, single, near her own family, complete control over how the boys are raised...ridding them of everything that was DM's (the names, his parents), and no worries about him remarrying a woman who was probably better suited for him. No worries about shared custody, the possibility that the boys would have a 2nd mother they might come to adore, no long summer trips for the boys to Canada or anywhere else for that matter. Death for DM was the only way out IMO.

WA is smarter than her mother and certainly smarter than CA. Imagine achieving all the above and not having to answer for it. Better it be bro and Mom who pay the Piper.

All just my opinion.

After it happened she said she was scared for her and her children and I think she said she was going into hiding? I'm thinking initially she didn't think it was CA that did this.
This seemed hokie to me. Why would she be afraid that someone might hurt her children just because the person had a vendetta against their dad? Yet, IIRC, in her interview with LE when they informed her that her ex had been shot, WA didn't immediately panic and want to know if the boys were safe. How would she know Dan had taken them to school before he was shot, unless she was privy to the timeline in advance? MOO

With all due respect to people who want to believe Wendi turned a blind eye and wasn't actively involved: the most damning evidence is her boyfriend telling the police that she told him in all seriousness that her brother was looking into a hit man and that it would cost around 15,000. Then she and her brother had all sorts of codes about a tv repair guy, about a bulliet vodka, and quite obviously she gave a greenlight for her mom to give the payments to Katie and for Charlie to direct the murder. Since the murder she has continued as someone wrote in this thread to enjoy - more than enjoy - celebrate - the fruits of the crime - she unlike her brother Rob who is appalled by his murderous family - continues to be close to her parents and Charlie, to post pictures of all of them with the boys hanging out, to erase Dan's memory, and has never once shown up to a memorial in his honor. She denies access to the grandparents. Evil before evil after.

I wonder if either of the alleged Masterminds has been visiting either of their alleged Conspirators in jail over the last 3 years? September 23, 2019 can't come soon enough.

Regarding the contact visit requests above (thanks SeeSeas) - what do you all make of it? It must be for an outside visitor - maybe the kids? I don't think it would be KM based on the prior post about them trying to see each other.

Well, if it was me, I'd sure want to speak with my husband to decide on a game plan. Should I take the immunity, point the finger at the A's, get the heck out of prison and raise the kids. Oh, and btw, I'll be waiting for you when you get out...someday.

Changed the children's last name, and middle name of one,which was the Father's name. Children robbed the chance to know,and see their Paternal Grandparents.

There is no money in the world that would keep me from my children and locked up. She is waiting to see if she gets that pot of gold she was promised. LE should come right out and call her on this.

Looks like Charlie was sued in a paternity case in Broward.

Markel case still on track for trial later this month

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) — The upcoming trial of Sigfredo Garcia and Katherine Magbanua is still on track for September 23 in a Leon County courtroom.

The two are accused in the July 2014 murder of FSU law professor Dan Markel.

Attorneys for both Garcia and Magbanua, as well as for the state, told the judge Wednesday they are ready for trial.

The state announced a new witness late Tuesday. The defense wants to block her testimony. The judge said he’d decide that during the trial.

There will be one more hearing before trial to address any last minute motions.

The clerk’s office has already sent out summons to 750 potential jurors in the case.

Who could be the new witness? Sounds like a woman as it reads "the defense wants to block her testimony". Any guesses?
