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

[Baba O'Riley]

This TV cost her Life plus 30.

In her arrogance she underestimated the TPD.

Yep. The Adelsons probably thought Tally was a hillbilly backwater filled with poorly educated hicks. Maybe they thought the trial would be like in the movie "My Cousin Vinny." (That's actually one of my faves.) Boy, were they ever wrong. Although it took a while, TPD and the prosecution dotted all their i's and crossed all their t's.

I'm very surprised at what took place in the courtroom yesterday. I've never seen that before. I'm surprised the judge, seemingly a no nonsense type of guy allowed it in the first place. GC had no responses or questions, not surprising, a meh to the whole bunch. I can only hope there is more to come in this case. HA and WA need to answer for something. To think this happened right under their nose in this incestuous family and HA or WA not know is unbelievable.

I'm sure the DA's office in Tally is sick of them, but it can't be over. Lesser charges for HA and WA but something, tax evasion. IRS, perjury, etc.. Others generally have been brought down for less in society.

I feel the judge was willing to let the A's have loose lips to see if they spewed more incriminating information.
They certainly provided their Markel grandsons with stellar role model behavior.

Since Wendi does not speak to her mother anymore, Donna had to figure our a way to "dramatically memorialize" her version of the story for Dan's sons. It was the ultimate "See what I have done for you!" Donna-the-Martyr-of-Miami:
Whenever her little speech is replayed, it should always include the absolute evidence of her involvement, the immediate call to her co-conspirator Charlie Adelson "THIS TV IS GOING TO COST FIVE. "
That simple sentence solidified her financial involvement, her knowledge of code words and her partner(s) in crime.
I found it interesting to watch and hear her acting range. No more need for "hearing devices", No need for a wheel chair, No more "shiver shake" , weeping without tears and throwing her head back as she side eyes the television cameras. Nope, this was just one more performance from an angry entitled old lady.... oh brother.
And Harvey? His contempt for social media didn't stop him from partaking in a free slice of pizza...oh brother.

It was also so noticeable after her performance how calm and sniffle-free she was for the duration of the hearing; job done, message delivered and now perfectly poised and attentive.

And it seems it keeps getting lost on her family and friends who extol her virtues as a mother and grandmother who would do anything for the children - the whole plan was hatched (imo) because Dan filed the "grandma clause" to restrict her to only supervised visits with the grandkids. She was not having that for a moment, something had to be done and Charlie was dating someone who could help in that regard. Yes, grandmother of the year would do anything for her grands, including the murder of their own father.

Mooooo

Donna Adelson is already on her way to state prison following her sentencing Monday.

Circuit Judge Stephen Everett sentenced Adelson to life in prison just before 6 p.m. Monday and court records show Adelson was released to the Florida Department of Corrections at 5:48 a.m. Tuesday.

Adelson does not yet show up in the DOC’s online inmate search.

Female inmates typically go to a reception center in Ocala first for processing before being transferred to another permanent facility.

Assistant State Attorney Georgia Cappleman, who prosecuted all five of the people charged and convicted so far in Markel’s murder, commented on the sentencing hearing Oct. 14 during a break in a grand jury meeting at the Leon County Courthouse.

“I thought it was unusual,” Cappleman told the Tallahassee Democrat in a brief exclusive interview. “I heard it referred to as a ‘goat rope,’ which was a pretty good description.”
……
Before she was sentenced, fingerprinted and led out of the courtroom, she gave the judge, prosecutors and even the victim’s family a piece of her mind — pointing the finger of blame at everyone but herself during a rant that lasted more than 10 minutes.
………
“I thought she was helping me, and I appreciate that,” Cappleman said. “Because she’s not doing herself any favors if she thinks she’s going to get her life sentenced reversed and is lobbying the court to give her a lesser sentence on Counts 2 and 3. She doesn’t do herself any favors by shooting arrows all over the courtroom, including to the judge.”

You are spot on. That was a freak show. The arrogance and entitlement knows no bounds with these two. Lying is beneath them, as if.

Were there any real tears?

Why were she and Harvey even allowed to speak? Clearly there was going to be no remorse.

 

[Curious-A]

I think we all knew DA wasn’t going to be, act or sound remorseful. I guess she and Harv figured they had nothing to lose and just let-eerrrr-rip with the full blessing of the defense team. Imo

I apologize if this has already been asked but why was HA sworn in before his rant?

 

[Luna20]

I’m not sure of the reason but I’m glad that they did speak. It emphasized the lack of remorse on full display.

She said all of the good things about “Danny” for her grandchildren. That’s what that was about. She most likely wants them to see it now so they can tell people that she is innocent. It has to be torture for her to realize that one day they will do their own research and draw their own conclusions.

 

[Zedzded]

I think WA will throw DA and CA under the bus. She will say CA was the mastermind and her Mum went along for the ride, but knew what she was doing.

She sure has deteriorated in just a few short years......View attachment 619812View attachment 619813

Appears she is wearing lipstick for her mug shot. Is that vanity?

She had lipstick on when arrested at the airport

I have not followed the case on WS, but I did watch the verdict previously and sentencing today.

What is the significance of her making a statement today without being sworn?

jmo

My understanding is this: with Donna not being sworn in Georgia would not be allowed to cross examine her.

Lipstick on a pig comes to mind!

Tamara Demko had some new revelations about Harvey last night on STS. Evidently she feared for her life after a couple of encounters with HA, bought a gun, spoke with a priest and moved out of Tally.

Starts about 31:20

I don’t understand how they could be remorseful-that would be to admit guilt.

It was strange how Dave A. tried to call Tamara out on her comment that she purchased a gun the next day after she saw Harvey and Donnas at Wendi’s, saying it takes time to get a gun unless you get it illegally. He must have some beef with her to do that. It was uncalled for IMO. Basically calling her a liar. Showed his true colors imo.
