It is January 15 in the year of our lord 2026...Thanksgiving has passed, Christmas has passed...and yet no arrest of Wendi. It is safe to assume as some of us have predicted that Wendi will not be arrested/charged as there isn't enough evidence to convict her. It's over. What a fantastic job the state has done in bringing about justice for Dan Markel! May he rest in peace.

I still have my ear to the ground and I’m waiting the next ‘Wendi will be arrested by’ milestone date….
I really think it’s that simple. However, over the years, I have seen all sorts of justifications for the prosecution not charging Wendi. To name a few: they need Wendi to testify against her family, they are a small office with limited resources – aka the ‘one-at-a-time strategy, or more recently, they are waiting for the decision on Sarah Dugan’s judgeship. The disconnect on social media has actually been as interesting to me as any of the legal proceedings. I have no issue with anyone who is adamant about getting justice for Dan, but I truly believe that people are analyzing the evidence with blind vengeance and a strong confirmation bias.
Just for the record, I’m not predicting she will never be arrested, just that based on what is publicly known, the case against her is nowhere near as strong as it's been expressed by some influential personalities with platforms. IMO, the disconnect on social media and the insistence that her arrest is imminent can easily be traced back to a few places, and it seems like those who have done the most to create this optimism amongst those in the J4DM community have gone into hiding.
Stay tuned
