I just don't see anything bizarre about WA checking to see if her hit on DM had taken place. Not the smartest move to return to the scene of the crime but it happens frequently.Like CA said, she just couldn't help herself. JMOO

What makes anyone think Wendi knew the hit was going to take place at Dan’s house? If we are to believe the states star witness, Luis Rivera, there was no plan to murder Dan at any specific location. Per Luis, they were just looking for the ‘right opportunity’. Maybe Wendi did have knowledge and/or was in on the plans and thought the hit was going to happen at Premier Gym? Premier Gym is literally a stones throw from Market Street. Maybe that’s why she chose ABC rather that Market Square Liquors to avoid the ’area’ of the hit prior to lunch and set off in the opposite direction? We are all guessing and many of the guesses and theories in social media are based off of limited information and a combination of wishful thinking and piecing together bits and pieces of fragmented information. That’s how you get thousands of people to buy into and believe that there was a sophisticated plan to set up Jeffrey Lacasse as the fall guy. Down to renting a similar car (that didn’t look similar) and timing the hit in coordination with his ‘scheduled’ departure of exactly 11:00 AM – a time that ONLY Wendi knew about – only the evidence points to Jeff never told her EXACTLY when he was leaving – but details don’t really matter IF they support a narrative that points to Wendi being in on the conspiracy. :)

Where else would they murder him? In front of the daycare or gym? The hit men were provided with a photo and the HOME ADDRESS for DM. Obvious to me...

It wasn’t until Luis Rivera got into the car during a thwarted attempt a month before Dan Markel was killed that he found out he was coming to Tallahassee to commit a murder.
On the ride from Miami, his accomplice Sigfredo Garcia showed him a photo of Markel. On the piece of paper was written the Florida State University law professor’s home address, and Rivera learned he was now part of a murder-for-hire plot.

They were given his home address to locate him - that's obvious. There was never any information given by Rivera (the only one that fully cooperated) at any point in time to support the belief that the intended location for the murder was Dan’s home – so I'm not sure how that is so obvious to you? If you listen to his proffer he said ~ “we were just waiting for the right opportunity’. To me that suggests they would have done it anywhere within reason. They literally followed him around for days across the two trips looking for the ‘right opportunity’.

Didn't one bit of evidence suggest that Donna assumed the hit had occurred at the front door or inside the house?

I’m not making a ‘fuss’ over the time – I’m correcting what I believe is an egregious error that continues to be spread all across social media. Is a total of 4 extra miles so significant? Its not to me, so when you ask the question -”what is your reasoning for why she went out of her way?” My answer is simple, I don’t think she went "out of her way". Her plan that morning was to make her purchase for he stock the bar party BEFORE going to lunch. It was NEVER odd to me the she decided to make her purchase at ABC. I have said MULTIPLE times ABC is the biggest chain liquor store in Florida and I have gone there personally many times while in FL. and I would choose it over any local liquor store all day long. ABC is like the Walmart of liquor stores – you know you aren’t getting ripped off. Her decision to go to ABC only seems odd to those that believe Carl Steinbeck’s narrative that she climbed Mt. Everest that morning to get to that store. Its extra 6 to 9 minutes – its that really a big deal? I say no… isn’t also a fact she had a stock the bar party to attend that evening? And yes, I know she didn’t take a shower.

But she lied 4, 5 times about the trip which more or less cancels out any potential credible excuses she had for her trip. Maybe that ABC liquor store was her favourite. I drive past 5 cafe's to get to my favourite. So WA potentially had an out. But then she lied which is so bad for her. It destroys the shortcut narrative even if it was legitimate and destroys her credibility. This is CA's issue as well. He told bad lies and lost credibility. Lets just say she has some plausible explanation for her comment to SY about CA hiring hitmen, the jury will not believe her.

I think in a room of 12 jurors, after they hear all the evidence, will make the right decision based on the evidence. Why does my opinion, or yours, matter? You are asking a simple question but my response is just going to create a series of circular posts. I asked yesterday – when the defense asks the question where EXACTLY was the roadblock set up and there is no CLEAR answer and the jury is left with the impression that maybe Wendi didn’t see Dan’s house – does that change anything? Also if you approach a roadblock at a bend in the road (there is a CLEAR bend at the 4th & 5th house) and you think a tree has fallen BUT you can’t see around the bend you wont see the fallen tree.

Where is your evidence that there were two roadblocks?

The topic of Wendi’s ‘inconsistent’ testimony about the intended trip down Trescott is so misunderstood from a legal standpoint – I’ll even call out the ‘Great” Carl Steinbeck on this who has fed the narrative to the ‘community’ it’s perjury – laughable. There is no doubt her statements are inconsistent. I’ve said this many times, in EVERY single trial Wendi’s testimony is VERY clear that Trescott was her intended route and in EVERY single trial she said she saw the ‘police tape’ – EVERY ONE. Yes, there is some variation and inconsistency regarding the ‘turn’ on Trescott. It can’t be proven that she purposely lied – maybe she did, maybe it was memory issue? She testifying in four trials that spanned from 5 to 11 years AFTER the murder. Her inconsistent testimony on the Trescott turn is blown out of portion in social media. If she denied attempting to drive down Trescott or denied seeing the roadblock / police tape – that would be a very different. Cappleman could have EASILY cleared up ANY confusion on the famous turn by asking more pointed questions in ANY of the trials or by asking Wendi if she needed her memory refreshed – she chose not to. At least in Donna’s trial (and I was paying close attention) Cappleman asked Wendi how far down Trescott Wendi drove and Wendi responded that she drove to roadblock and turned around at the tape. This is such a nothing burger – its only a big deal in social media.

Where is your evidence that there were two roadblocks?

Evidence? I’m surprised you don’t know this? There are countless pictures of the roadblock that was set up south of Dan’s house. I haven’t seen any pictures of the roadblock north of his house – but unless Officer Brannon is lying, I trust it was there and he saw the famous K-turn made by the occupant he couldn’t see but later said had long hair and was a female. Then again, maybe he was lying? :)

We want photos of the north side. That's where WA was. This photo is of the north side where WA would have turned. You can clearly see Dans house.

That photo is from the south side - I'm 100% on that. If you have photos from the north side, please share.

The action is ( I see Isom) right at Dans house.
So she drove right up to the house

Why did Isom say 3-4 houses away instead of the tape being right at Dans house?

I’ve see that photo before (reddit) and the police tape is affixed to the utility pole on Dan’s property. The photo is taken from north of Dan’s house, but we don’t know if its taken from the location of the north roadblock or somewhere between. By all accounts, the north roadblock would not have been set up at the utility pole on Dan’s property – although there are a few YouTube video that have alleged this.

The journalist that took that photo had not crossed police tape otherwise they would have been arrested. So what they saw is what WA saw. i.e no tree.

What accounts?

By statements of at least three law enforcement officers / detectives (Isom, Brennan and I forgot the female officer’s name) that all testified that the north roadblock was set up 2 to 5 houses north of Dan’s home.
