[@glamdolly30]

The Adelson's thought they were so special, and so much better than everyone else, they could literally kill a family member who became problematic to them, and they would get away with it. To believe you're so superior that even the law doesn't apply to you, is some rare level of narcissism and entitlement! I sense Donna the family matriarch is the all-powerful spider at the centre of the family web. She was able to persuade her son Charlie, who enjoyed a great life as a wealthy dentist in the family firm, to arrange a murder that would get him locked up in prison for the rest of his days. That's some strong, and strongly dysfunctional, motherly influence! Donna is estranged from her eldest son Rob Adelson, because she wouldn't respect his right as an adult to choose his own wife. Again that reflects a crazily controlling woman. The behaviour of her husband Harvey as she was arrested at the airport, indignant with police, tenderly holding her face and kissing her, then carefully removing her jewellery for safekeeping, again confirms her high status in that family. I believe Donna is a big league narcissistic abuser, who married a weak enabler in Harvey. Harvey gave Donna the high status marriage and family life she demanded. I don't believe he has ever said no to her - even when, together with their son, she plotted the murder of a family member. The state has named Harvey Adelson as a conspirator in Dan's murder, he may be next to face a jury trial. To quote Donna's email to her daughter, Dan hasn't beaten the Adelson family yet - but he's sure getting there!

[@glamdolly30]

Wendi's wide-eyed innocent act on the witness stand has grown old - she's as guilty as sin. Yes, her ex husband, the father of her children, would be alive today if she wanted him that way. She 100% knew about the murder plot, and she fully endorsed it. Had she at any time told her family: "No, not this way - I can't have my kids grow up fatherless", it would not have progressed to completion. The case against Wendi is primarily circumstantial, because as the only daughter and family princess, her mother and brother protected her, and kept her at arm's length from the grubby, murder for hire arrangements. But I believe it is a powerful circumstantial case that, with a well-prepared prosecution team, could convince a jury of Wendi's guilt far beyond a reasonable doubt. And let's face it, they will have to bring their A-game to nail Wendi, because not only is she an attorney, she will hire the best defence team her murdered husband's money can buy! I'm intrigued that cracks are appearing in the relationship between Wendi and her family, since brother Charlie's murder conviction and life sentence, and mom Donna's arrest and prosecution. Are her brother and mother enraged that she's keeping her distance from them in her own self-interest, while they take the fall for the murder they arranged for her benefit? Is it now possible they could decide to take her down with them? Interesting too that prosecutors are meeting with an old girlfriend of Wendi's (I guess we can safely assume they are no longer pals!) This confirms that even as they prepare for Donna Adelson's imminent murder trial, prosecutors are working hard behind the scenes to secure daughter Wendi's scalp too. And what of family patriarch Harvey Adelson, like Wendi named by the state as a murder conspirator? Could he too face a jury trial? This show is going to run and run!

Donna was trying to wash fingerprints from money. I don’t think Donna will get any sympathy from jury, because Dan Markel’s parents are even older than Donna. Those poor parents are still seeking justice for their son who was brutally murdered at age of 41. Their loving, brilliant, only son. Those poor grandparents were deprived of having a connection with their grandchildren by Wendi. Grandchildren that were the only link of Dan left for them in the world. If anyone deserves sympathy that is Ruth and Phil, not Donna.

Prosecutors are working hard behind the scenes to build a strong case against Wendi Adelson. They know she's an attorney, and will hire the best defence team her late husband Dan Markel's money can buy. They must bring their A-game, and have certainly had enough time to prepare. I pray they have uncovered a killer 'Gotcha' piece of evidence against her. There are hints of cracks developing within the Adelson family. In recent years Wendi has been keeping her brother and parents at arms length, terrified of following them to prison. I wonder how Charlie feels, knowing he will die behind bars because he was manipulated to arrange a murder by his mother and sister? Mom Donna is facing the same horrendous penalty, and again I imagine is pretty resentful of Wendi, her only daughter, who no longer visits her parents. She and husband Harvey are now pretty much estranged from her and their two grandsons. Donna now faces leaving prison in a body bag, all because, in her eyes, she was a devoted mother who stuck her neck out to solve her daughter's 'problem'. And this is the thanks she gets - Wendi has turned her back on them, out of ruthless self-preservation. I wonder if the anger Charlie and Donna feel towards Wendi, the family princess/golden child who pushed for and endorsed her ex husband's murder, could prompt them to turn on her, and take them down with them, either now or in the future? Alienating them is a risky strategy by Wendi - they have the power to put her away for life, though obviously they would have to incriminate themselves to do it. But it would not be the first time the Adelson family had a huge bust up. As was mentioned in this report, eldest son Rob is estranged from them after Donna refused to respect his right to choose a non Jewish bride. Rob recently had closed door meetings with prosecutors and may give evidence against his mother at her imminent murder trial. His evidence, giving an insider perspective on the twisted family that allegedly arranged their son-in-law's murder, would be fascinating. And what of Harvey, the Adelson family patriarch, like Wendi, named by prosecutors as a conspirator in Dan Markel's murder? Will he face justice next? There are many more gripping chapters to come in this story. But the one the public most keenly awaits, is the prosecution of Wendi.

Yes, I agree! It seems it could of had any type of electronic in it...tablet, burner phone? I've not heard anyone talk about this.

[@edu456]

Why is Wendy laughing and smiling during the murder trial of her children's father? She's obnoxious.

[@sirtedricwalker2979]

Because a Sociopath brain is wired differently....she made jokes about Dan's Murder according to Jeff Lacasse police interview.

[@grasstastesbad]

i think she’s trying to come across as sympathetic and friendly the way she knows how but it’s not appropriate for the situation

[@skhumbulembana3911]

This Jibber name is insulting from Donna's tone even though Wendi tried to play it down as if it was her coping mechanism lawyer, manipulator, slick mover in her play the innocent, victim character very well, peace treat of banana bread, baby sitting which never took place, it was war, anyway Dan is not here to speak for himself , yet we see the bs from her, her family hate him with passion

[@auntkaz815]

Looks like she is trying to be charming and use her looks to convince people she knew nothing and couldn’t possibly have been a part of this. She doesn’t come off the way she thinks though. Her unwillingness to directly answer a question and constant rephrasing and “tweaking” of things just makes it seem like she is lying. I’m not buying the dumb act.

[@TXCAMSS1]

Hope they get enough info to arrest Wendy as well. She’s definitely involved

[@ginac895]

The Adelson family is pure evil. The whole family should be in prison. They didn't need to kill Dan. He had every right to live and love his kids.

[@MADDIE55176]

And wanting to leave young little boys without a father. Just sick and evil.

Wendi took the little girl, baby sister approach. I’ll play the battered wife, and my mom and brother will do what needs to be done to protect me. We’ll get rid of what’s in our way and we’ll all live happily ever after………. Plot twist- In jail.

Wendy sounds like the mastermind here. She needs to be detained.

Wendy was very calm when speaking to Donna, immediately one can figure out she was involved in Dan's murder.

Vinnie thanks for having Carl Steinbeck on the programme, he is the best! If only the prosecution shared the same discernment. Frustrated about Wendy still roaming free. Her behind bars will be real justice for Dan.

[@renewashington791]

Yes, I believe Donna Adelson was **Trying to flee 🇺🇸** BUT I don’t think she had any pLans to kill herself. Why go ALLLLLL the way to Vietnam to accomplish something like that 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Funky_Adventure]

She wasn't planning to do both. It was one or the other

[@XiaoFury]

She wanted the most authentic Vietnam food directly from the source! 🙃

[@renewashington791]

@@XiaoFury 😂😂😂

[@glamdolly30]

Narcissists as extreme as her rarely commit suicide. She chose Vietnam over death - but thankfully police were onto her before she even boarded the plane. I'm stunned she and hubby Harvey bought one way tickets, confirming this was no vacation - they were fleeing justice, which obviously indicates guilt. That they didn't just buy the slightly more expensive return tickets to cover themselves in case of future arrest, boggles the mind. It's another example of the arrogance of those who commit murder, so confident they will get away with it (because they are 'special'...), they don't even bother to plan a decent cover up!

[@davidfrench7130]

I think the scene where she is getting arrested says it all. The cop attempts to take her phone and she pulls away as if to say, "no I'm in control of this situation" Probably the first time in her life she didn't control the situation.

[@charlenehobbs441]

This was a controlling Mother-in-law ( EMA) and selfish daughter convinced her family that Danny Markel to be done away with and silly brother played a foolish game to hire Latin King members to do the deal for 100,000 ! Too many moving pieces and mouths moving . Donna told her brother where her ex would be after dropping boys off at summer camp and he was followed from gym home to his house and killed in driveway . Donna drives by the house and had a witness to collaborate her whereabouts but tried to set up current boyfriend as being jealous and could have done the deed. But he was smart enough to leave town day before not knowing ex-girlfriend would try to pin murder on him . This whole family is evil and used money to take a devoted Dad to he murdered so the grandchildren can be in Miami . Everyone of these Adelson’s should be behind bars. This all happened because Wendy lied to mother and brother that Dan was evil ! Karma will be served when everyone of them is convicted ! Poor boys lost all contact with their father’s family !

[@IngridC-m4t]

Charlie was so stupid as to hire his girlfriend's ex. After all who does that? It tells us how cowardly he was to find an unknown hit man! Stupid is as stupid does 😅😅😅😅😅😅
