GUILTY FL - Dan Markel, 41, FSU Law Professor, Tallahassee, 18 July 2014 *arrests* #11

We all know she moved to South Florida after the murder - where did she live the week before the murder and did she have a lease for that year. She was suppose to stay there as ordered by the judge. It’s just speculation that maybe she knew she wouldn’t need a place to live in Tallahassee - JMO.

Yes, I see your point and think that’s a great question! I’m thinking she was renting and hadn’t bought a place in Tally… hmmm…

Finally someone gets it. And it’s not even purchasing a home. That takes time. But if she’s required to stay in Tallahassee she should have had some long term arrangement set up beforehand - unless she knew she wouldn’t need it - IMO.

Totally! In a case like this all these things matter so much!

I don't have an answer to your question about a lease/home, but per this article she filed for divorce and left Tallahassee with the boys in September 2012. She was later denied sole custody and returned to Tallahassee. I doubt Dan or the Court waited too long after she first left town to take action on custody. Dan was murdered on July 18, 2014. Seems like she was probably back in Tallahassee (from her stint in SoFla with her sons) for about 18 months when Dan was killed. JMO. FSU law professor fought ex-wife in the courts until murderous end

Miss sunny I suggest bundle your concept it tight English. and send it to [email protected] She may well never prosecute WJA. But the concept it interesting. DM was shot on 18th July 14 am and died in the early hrs of the 19th. If Wendi had a lease that was taken out in one lump and only ran until the end of July or end of August... it is all looking a bit suspicious because she had no reason to move out of Tallahassee until some other child custody arrangement could be arranged (if any - Dan was not budging). Or for instance if all her lease periods had been 6 months periods and then the last one was for say just 2 months ... that is a bit of smoking gun. Remember this can't convict KM and can't convict CJA and those are the only ones in the pen at the moment.

MISTRIAL - FL - Dan Markel, 41, FSU Law Professor, Tallahassee, 18 July 2014 *arrests* #11
4/21/22: Defense’s Demand for speedy trial. 4/21/22 Update: Docket sounding hearing on 4/25/22 @ 1:30pm. Hearing on whether the trial goes on as scheduled. Magbanua’s defense filed a motion to dismiss the newly released enhanced audio & transcription of the FBI recording of Magbanua & Charlie Adelson. The video—taken in 2016—shows Adelson & Magbanua in a South Florida Restaurant talking about the investigation. The defense says that the “demonstrative” is inadmissible in court & doesn’t show the full conversation, with some parts of the conversation difficult to hear.'' Not too sure if the 4/22/22 hearing happened.
4/25/22 Update: Defendant's presence waived by counsel. Calendar call for speedy demand. A judge decided Monday afternoon the upcoming retrial of Magbanua will begin as scheduled on 5/16/22. Both defense attorneys & prosecutors agreed that the trial should go on as planned. 4/26/22 Update: Motion hearing on 4/29/22 @ 9am & motions hearing on 5/3/22 @ 2pm.
Accomplices:
*Charles Jay Adelson (45) – First appearance & bond hearing on 4/26/22. 4/26/22: Bond denied. No further dates yet.
*Sigfredo Garcia (34) – 10/10/19: found guilty of 1st degree murder. Guilty of conspiracy. Not guilty of solicitation. Sentenced to LWOP for murder plus 30 years for conspiracy charge. 11/4/19: Motion to Withdraw as Counsel: Mauricio Padilla; Motion to Withdraw as Counsel: Saam Zangeneh.
*Luis Rivera (33) charged with 1st degree murder. Took a plea deal (Oct. 2016) & plead guilty to 2nd degree murder. Will testify against Garcia & Magbanua. Will receive 19-year sentence to run concurrently with his 12 year Federal time, which he is already serving.
POIs: Wendi Adelson (ex-wife of Markel), her mom Donna Sue Adelson (68) & father Harvey Adelson. Investigators have not charged anyone in the Adelson family in connection with Markel’s death, but say Adelson’s mother & brother – Donna and Charlie Adelson – paid $100K to have Markel killed following the couple’s contentious divorce so their two young sons could move to South Florida.

Motion hearing scheduled 4/29/22 at 9 am for KM

Motion hearing scheduled 5/3/22 at 2 pm for KM

Are these motions to dismiss evidence and what is the reason to have 2 back to back vs all at once?

Are these motions to dismiss evidence and what is the reason to have 2 back to back vs all at once?

In a major trial there are always numerous pretrial motions raised on behalf of both the defense and prosecution. Some will be motions in limine directed to exclude evidence (such as the defense motion to exclude the enhanced audio and its transcript). Other motions will be intended to have the judge make a preliminary ruling on anticipated evidence. For instance, this week I was working for the defense in a case where the prosecution brought murder charges against a police officer and before trial we anticipated the prosecutor would try to admit evidence from the officer's personal phone. We filed motions to exclude the evidence on the phone (a pretty standard motion in limine) but we also knew some of the body camera and CCTV camera footage showed the officer using his phone and taking photos with it at the scene. Assuming the judge would rule the phone's contents to be inadmissible (a ruling he did, in fact make) we were concerned that the prosecutor might try to refer to the footage showing the phone at the scene during trial and thereby imply the defense was hiding something. Pretrial motion hearings are a good way to smoke out potential problems like that because the judge will be able to interrogate all the attorneys and ask about their intentions. In our case the judge asked the attorney directly what sort of questions he intended to ask about the phone in the footage so the issue could be resolved without having it come up in front of the jury. In a case as prominent and complex as this one, it would not be surprising to have more than two days reserved for anticipated motions.

Good point. It's clear now (to me) that the whole "TV" thing was part of their code wording. Which is so darkly ironic for a family a narcissists. The fact that Donna arranged the TV repair and let her know it had been scheduled tells a whole different story now, to me.

Do we know if the tv was really broken or sabotaged? Or did the tech go there and find nothing wrong with it? TIA.

i like right at 1 hour 58 minutes the discussion about how Kawass's first call was to CA's attorney Markus immediately after KM's arrest. it shows that they are all in cahoots! and the judge has ruled that he will allow it! love it!

KM arrested--->KM calls Kawass--->Kawass calls Markus--->Markus calls Isom.

My speakers are going in & out - can someone give the main points on "what" motions were discussed & were they granted or denied?

I would very much appreciate it - to keep my notes updated.

And I have a motions hearing on 5/3/22 next for Magbanua.

Any new court dates for Adelson? I have his last hearing on 4/26/22 where his bond was denied.

TIA!

 

[GordonX]

KM had Kawass ready on speed dial before she got arrested. I wonder who set that up for her? Penthouse One?

Gordon at 1 : 58 into the recording as provided there SEEMS TO BE NOTHING RE Kawass's first call to CJA's attny. Maybe you are talking of a different recording , maybe the time is out or maybe you are just stirring the pot. Kawass and later GC are discussing very different things.

I agree it would make a lot of sense for the Adels to give Kawass's ph number to Katie because when the proverbial hit the fan they don't want to have her calling CJA in a blue funk and the poooliceman overhearing that. .. but I don't hear it here.

It would be very Noble of them to do that for Katie (that's a Germanic joke on their - frankly Yiddish derived name if you missed it). Waddaha going to do when you need a good female counsel if you are CHarlie Adelson ? Call up D O Markus and get a recommendation I guess. In other words , what made them choose Tara Kawass ? Katie serpently did not choose her.

Katie could not buy groceries for two weeks if she got a half hr invoice from Kawass plus her side kick preppy young de Coste in a murder defense matter. I rest my case. (That is : they are doing all the defense work pro bono, in hope of a nice pair of angel wings in the next life). Who else could be paying ?

Tell me more about this Kawass phone call . BTW I would not drag Det ISOM into your theories, unless you have hard proof he is corrupt. The other people in your schema are fair game.

PS I am not a troll for Donna Adelson.
