Are the comments visible? Brutal.

Oh I didn't see them the first time.....yes, brutal! And deserved! Nobody is seeing through her crap.

Noticing what the defense attorneys stressed with Wendi--KM attorney: did you know my client has kids? Your brother has had many girlfriends right (hint that he used and disposed of KM?) Your mom/dad/brother are free, not in jail, never been charged right? You are not afraid you will be arrested right?
KM attorney brought a salient point home to the jury which is: those people are free as rich privileged birds while here my client sits on trial, how is this fair?

RSBM. Yes, it is a salient point and wise for the lawyer to bring out, but I don't think it will affect the jury's decision. And there is the issue of why doesn't KM flip like Rivera and get a lesser sentence so she can be with her children? (I know she maintains her innocence, but the evidence is pretty overwhelming). I don't feel sorry for her. JMO.

question: why didn't the prosecution challenge her on most of the lies she said?

Prosecutor knows it would be stupid to get in a cat fight with her. Other info/witnesses will be brought to show she is a liar. She was just needed on the stand to back up the motive for the crime.

Stumbled onto this, fwiw!

Wonder how many syringes of Juvederm she's had.

The states that expressly encourage judges to allow jurors to question witnesses are Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Nevada and North Carolina. Out of these jurisdictions, Arizona, Florida, and Kentucky require that judges allow jurors to ask written questions.

Re: Out of these jurisdictions, Arizona, Florida, and Kentucky require that judges allow jurors to ask written questions.
In Florida criminal trials, it is not required; it is Judicial Discretion: "At the discretion of the presiding trial judge, jurors may be allowed to submit questions of witnesses during the trial."

lots of botox just before testimony - she couldn't move her face, and those lips were blown up with fillers. she looks much older than her age.

 

[friendlyobserver]

"I chose Miami."

She has some nerve. I really hope she feels like a pariah in society for the rest of her life.

I dont understand how some of her friends and charlie's friends and patients continue to be their friends - seriously do people have no moral compass?

Maybe they have. I sure would.

LOL. "Democracy Lives" really should fire whoever is in charge of monitoring their social media accounts. The comments are about 100% anti-Wendi.

Here's another one (same deal with the comments)...

Here's a recent Yelp posting on their dental business. LOL. On a more serious note, if the masterminds escape justice, I hope the Markel family pursues a civil suit.

 

[ak47dj]

My spouse and I are planning to head to God’s Country as we call it here in Jax Beach on Tuesday. What are the chances we can get in to see the proceedings? Don’t wanna waste a trip although we have business, and not of the nefarious type, in Tallahassee!!!!!

OMG, that's hilarious

 

[Gypsy Road]

Yes

I hope Jeffrey Lacasse is going to testify. He's an interesting character!

I know, right!? He intrigues me!

 

[Gypsy Road]

My spouse who has not followed this case and is a clinical professional said Wendi was composed yet labored in her breathing and body language was that of being evasive. JHOP

I noticed her breathing as well, and the scared look in her eye in the very beginning when first being in the stand. A couple of times she swallowed very hard - like you do when nervous. No doubt she was nervous, but the more she spoke - the more she seemed to calm down. I really think she was thinking she was doing quite well on the stand. That little laugh and smirk when she said “the state isn’t going to arrest me” was really something else!! She thinks very highly of herself and is an easy liar. She appears to have no conscience. Her own brother jokes about hiring a hit man ...many many times, then her ex is actually killed BY A HIT MAN... and by SOMEONE who is linked to her brother’s current GF at the time, and she just continues living her life like everything is cool and hunky-dory. She’s covering for them ...AND living in La La Land. I really pray the Adelson’s are arrested one day, tried and convicted and sentenced to the max. They are horrible horrible people. Can you imagine ever dating Wendi, or God forbid - marrying her and pissing off CA or DA? Jeffrey Lacasse is probably glad it didn’t work out between them. He may have dodged a bullet - literally.

Lots! And lip injections too, and I think permanent lip liner. Her lips were distracting and not in a good way. Way over done IMHO. Nothing wrong with a little filler, but she’s an attorney - I would think she’d want to present herself in a more conservative way.

I am dying laughing! “I need crowns, whitening and someone who can hire a hitman”

Totally agree she got more comfortable maybe too comfortable as her testimony went on. Overconfident because I bet in most settings she is used to operating and being perceived as bright, beautiful, nice and don't forget her passion for helping the downtrodden of Miami!

Besides Wendi's testimony I watched most of retiree Detective Isom and I would bet money that he made a very good impression on the jury as he was put through it for hours on the stand. At one point near the end when the judge admonished the attorneys to settle down you could see Isom giving a wry little smile to the jury box.

Also the defense attorney guy for Garcia really shot himself in the foot (like his client almost did in the Prius hahaha) with the Rivera questions that followed the jury questions to Isom about the recording or not recording of Rivera's police interviews. It gave Isom the opportunity to talk about how in the ride along with Rivera they were looking to see if his story matched what LE already knew about the Prius route via surveillance video, and Isom said not only did it match up, but Rivera told them helpful info Isom hadn't known. IMO when Rivera testifies next week the jury will be thinking well we trust Isom and he found this guy believable.

Also after watching trial videos the state attorneys need to stop whispering to each other because the tape is picking that up pretty clearly.

Reminds me of the Over My Dead Body podcast when the former friend refers to Wendi's big blue eyes which she later learned were enhanced by "teal" contact lenses.

Wendi has a soft spot in her heart for immigrants.....

 

[kay74]

If Wendi doesn't know by now, CA ordered this hit then she lives in another dimension. Even if she's protected by her family CA former GF=SG father of her children=Dan's killing. Maybe she told her former friend KM her trouble with Dan and KM got SG to do this but where would the money have come from to do this? The reward to them (money) would be a thank you from the As or CA?
