Dan Markel murder - Will ex-wife Wendi Adelson now be indicted? Shakespearean shake down

Brother of Wendi, Dr. Charlie Adelson, was found guilty of 1st degree murder, conspirator, and sentenced to life. Now mother Donna Adelson, co-conspirator, is on trial and it surely seems she will be found guilty.

Will they arrest Wendi immediately?

How did they ever think they were going to get away with this shit?

I don't even know why, but this murder mystery is very intriguing. What a wretched family the Adelsons are.

Thanks R5 yes there is I took a deep dive and wanted to get more attention to the current trial. The hubris, The incompetence. Lady MacBeth and such.

B. Jarrett would never have been found out.

The old matriarch is a psycho, conniving old bitch. The daughter is a fake lunatic. What a show.

Grandma Donna - Psycho and conniving, totally.

I think Wendi masterminded and gaslit her family to kill Dan for her. Not that it was hard to do. Money and influence meant everything. And she was on a pedestal

The oldest brother, Dr. Robert Adelson, lives in NY. He knew his family had Markel killed and testified to that yesterday.

Beth never would have been ON the witness stand!

It's Day 2 of Donna's defense presentation. So far all they have is that her friends thought she would come back from Vietnam for a bar mitzvah.

Donna guilty on all charges.

That skank daughter Wendy, who’s surely up for trial next, must be shitting herself.

I watched a lot of the court footage these last few days and there is more damning evidence on Wendy than I originally thought.

I didn’t know she approached the crime scene after Dan was shot and, seeing all the police activity and cordoned off areas centered on the house where her husband and two kids lived, didn’t get out of her car and ask what was going on or make a single phone call to police or anything. She simply turned her car around and drove to a liquor store and bought booze.

That’s not what gaslighting means.

Donna attempted to bribe fellow inmates—Black women she barely knew—offering them land and a trailer in exchange for falsely claiming responsibility for the crime. Her promise was absurd: after serving out a life sentence, they could look forward to “trailer life” on a swampy acre in the Everglades. Thankfully, the women rejected her scheme and testified against her instead.

grandma really thinks too much of herself. her actions left her grandkids orphans, so what was the point.

by Anonymousreply 15September 6, 2025 1:33 AM

This whole family is something else. I don’t understand how they all switched into this mindset that murder to achieve your own ends is somehow okay.

They even tried to pin the murder on some poor schmo dating the daughter! Luckily he gathered that the whole situation was suss and went to the police.

It’s infuriating watching daughter Wendi testify - she has this very practiced, calm demeanor that’s so obviously fake, and part of her legal training.

I cannot WAIT to see her charged. I hope it happens TOMORROW, before her mother is even sentenced. That would be so funny [bold]: o

Do the parents of the murdered father have any relationship with their grandkids?

by Anonymousreply 18September 6, 2025 3:28 PM

Wendi thinks she is going to be able to skate. Nope. This crime was committed on your behalf. You deserve to be imprisoned

by Anonymousreply 19September 6, 2025 3:33 PM

R18, per some news reports, after Dan was murdered, the custody split was updated to be between Wendi (the kids’ mother and likely the co-plotter of Dan’s murder) and his parents (the kids’ paternal grandparents).

Don’t know how it has been going in actual practice, though. Obviously a lot would change if Wendi were incarcerated.

Hilarious old bitch’s angry reaction to her verdict. She’s not crying, just raging in her own narcissistic head.

Give Mrs. Adelson a plea to spill on Wendi. The old bat is soon to kick anyways.

by Anonymousreply 22September 6, 2025 6:22 PM

It would be hilarious if Wendi’s two sons (now 15 and 16?) were called to the stand, and asked if they’d observed anything over the years.
