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

[Fromeaster]

I still can't stop being amazed at Donna's cruelty, how much she hates Robert and wants to kill him.

'I really believe that she received some kind of offer, but it's not clear exactly what it was. Two people said it, you mean they made it up, I don't believe it.

I've always felt she would be offered a deal and stated quite a few times, the State could be cute, offer her a 10 year sentence knowing it was effectively life. But that would be in exchange for something. DA gives them information that helps with future prosecutions. The State not indicting HA and WA is not DA giving the State something.

I think the State did offer DA something, but it has been misdescribed. I think they said to her 10 years and give us HA and WA.

Jack Campbell plays games too, I don't like his behavior in general, Donna should have been tried with Charlie. It's unclear when she would have been arrested if she hadn't wanted to escape to Vietnam.

I think WA will be offered a deal and will take it. Actually I'll caveat that with it depends on her relationship with her lawyer. Lauro should be absolutely telling his client she will most likely be convicted and die in prison. He didn't stay in Tallahassee at his company's expense for 2 weeks because he likes watching trials. He could have watched it on Youtube at home. He's obviously very concerned. Will WA take his advice? 10 years for an Alford plea. I think most people in her situation would jump at that.

Agreeing means admitting guilt, that will never happen. I can't really imagine who will pay the huge money to her lawyers? There will be millions... Harvey???

Not with an Alford plea. She doesn't have to admit guilt. She will be a hero to her boys. Serving 10 years for a crime she did not commit. She'll get out in her mid 50s and live another 30 years. She'd be stupid not to take a deal, but then I've always maintained she's not the brightest light in the harbour, so who knows.

CA and WA both exhibit sociopathic tendencies and display a complete lack of empathy. Which intrigues me. There were obviously some kind of dysfunction within the family unit as they grew up, but there also seems to have been a lot of good. Good schools, friends, sports, achievements and even what appears to be a lot of love and care. Listening to Rob, whilst he hinted at his mothers controlling behaviour, he certainly did not suggest she was some kind of psychotic, abusive parent. What the hell went wrong and at what point?

Yet when you look at Domestic Violence situations- the abuser predominantly exhibits controlling behavior. And it doesn't have to be physical or sexual abuse. It can be emotional abuse. It's entirely possible that both Charlie and Wendi inherited Donna's psychopathy and Robert didn't get those genes? Or maybe he's just a better person.

The three children were raised to a certain point in the same household before RA went off to save himself IMO, CA and WA were then exposed to the daily infuence of DA. Suppose that DA, as HA became more successful and the family became more affluent in society, DA became more determined that her children become the best and brightest... all to reflect on her as the best and brightest mom.

It has been mentioned that CA was not that bright and needed the connections of his father to be accepted and study dentistry wherever he went to college. WA was the baby, the only girl and a princess, IMO, excelling and receiving attention and praise, etc.

DA needed WA to find a husband to take care of WA and one to be successful and admired. DM instead of becoming a successful atty making big bucks in South Florida, he chose to join accademia in Tallahassee, in her eyes certainly below them. DA saw that as an obstacle to get rid of.

What I don't understand is how DA accepted the lifestyle of CA. He was mediocre at best. The girls he dated were hardly the caliber of class DA thought she was a part of. Maybe, after she saw who, what and where RA headed and where she was obviously not controlling him, she let CA do what he did and become here fixer. All JMO.

Blind spot for the middle child or not as high of expectations- like the phrase "The Heir and The Spare"?

I think from memory RA graduated from high school and went to college about the same time investment guru Harvey Adelson lost the entire family savings in a pyramid scheme. I've mused as to whether this was the straw that broke the camel's back.

 

[Wishbone]

What Tim said was that Donna was offered a plea to give up Wendi.
What was said tonight was that Donna was offered 10 years to NOT prosecute Wendi or Harvey-which made no sense.

So not the same story.

AND it seems to be a story DA perpetuated? All the official sources deny anything of the sort.

 

[Weki]

Go to 2:02:18 minute mark to hear Jackie Fulford say that the state never offered Donna a plea deal. The DA has also said the state never made a plea deal to Donna.

As usual, STS is peddling in lies and bs!

Wendi was around 12 -13. I remember bc she probably had a Bat Mitzvah and I was wondering how Harvey paid for that losing his life savings.

I saw that last night and took screenshots of the police tape.
I don’t know how to post them here.

There is one where there are two police cars and tape and then a house away looks like Dans house with more tape.

Neither version make any sense.

1.TJ said DA had been offered a deal, give up WA for time served.
That's just ridiculous. DA was arguably the primary architect of the crime, the driving force behind it. There's no way the State are going to let her serve 12 months jail time for murder just because she's 75. The Markels would be livid.

2. 10 years in exchange for not indicting HA and WA.
10 years = life, but they didn't need to make any deal. Assuming the State have enough to indict HA and/or WA, they would never agree to not charge them when the case against DA was so strong. The case against her was a slam dunk.

The only deal that would make sense is offering DA 10 years in exchange for her testifying and flipping on HA and WA.

Joel was telling everyone that they needed to apologize to Jansen.
I’m wondering if when he is on the show tonight commenting on Drinas interview, more will be mentioned about the supposed plea deal.

What a joke. DA is a pathological liar.

This has confused me. WA says that she saw police tape and an unmarked car at the intersection of the two roads and that is why she did the 3 point turn and went another way. Then it was said that the police tape was 1-2 houses either way of DMs house. On a podcast it was shown how far DMs house was from the intersection. It was quite a ways down from the intersection. So how did she see the police tape and what am I missing??? TIA

I fervently hope that Rob writes a book on how he has survived and escaped from his enmeshed, toxic family. I think it would be very helpful to others who are in the same situation.

Wendi has alternated accounts of the Trescott Drive. If you’ve seen all 4 trials plus Isoms interview it’s obvious.
There was no tape nor police car at the start of Trescott getting off Centerville.
She has blatantly lied. Every jury doesn’t know what she has said previously at other trials because if they did, she would be guilty just by lying about where she turned.

You can just watch the Court TV piece also. It’s not long. Or scan to the tape part. There are a few photos I haven’t seen before.
