FL - FSU Law Professor Dan Markel Murdered by Hitmen-Donna Adelson Upcoming Trial - *5 Guilty* #28

She's probably such a PITA they want her gone!!!!

Perhaps it's just DA and team realizing that the sooner the sentencing, the sooner the Appeals process can start.

i thought courts were closed on Monday due to holiday. How is Donna's still going on? I def. don't want to miss it.

Also, has anyone else seen the video of her in the wheelchair after the verdict... She sure was playing up how unfair the world is for her

The wheelchair is a total joke. I keep remembering her instructions to WA — something to the effect of, “you can be such a good actress when you need to be.”

I just watched yesterday's STS video honoring Dan Markel on what would have been his 53rd birthday. One of Dan’s close friends, Josh Berman, was a guest and was asked whether he thought Wendi was involved in Dan’s murder. Josh gave one of the most thoughtful and responsible answers I’ve heard to that question. If you missed the episode, it’s worth tuning in to hear his response (at about the 44-minute mark). As a close friend of Dan who also knew Wendi, Josh’s perspective is significant to me. I’m sure many will interpret his response differently than I did, or perhaps what he said, or didn’t say, didn’t register with most. Regardless, I commend him for responding so responsibly - he is a class act.

Looks like a grand jury is convening during the week of Oct. 13 relating to the Hope Florida Foundation. Nothing I can find Adelson related. Darn.

Thank you for posting this….another interesting case.

There may be more than one panel of grand jurors at a time.

Like mother like daughter. She did say that to Wendi and it sounded like she was speaking from firsthand experience. It’s not working for her now. I also wonder if she is doing this to appeal for Wendi’s sympathy. I believe that she thinks that out of the three of them she should be the one who isn’t incarcerated. Unless Wendi does a complete recount by incriminating herself, Donna is there to stay.

The wheelchair scene was comical. The moaning, as if it was going to make a difference. The guards totally ignored her. She was trying to show that she isn’t able to hang on and that she needs in the very least a different type of imprisonment. She is so superior in her mind that she just can’t bear being treated like the rest of the inmates.

I have a feeling that they make cells ADA compliant to fit wheelchairs. She wouldn't be the first prisoner to need one.
