This is the judge who recognized a former classmate that was being arraigned once…and she said “I always wondered what happened to you. This was one of the nicest kids in my school” and the defendant cried when he realized who she was. I think she has a kind heart.
It would not surprise me if she was the next to face charges, I’m sure she was well aware of what was going on… EDIT, I believe if Donna can cut a deal, she will willingly throw her daughter Wendy under the bus…
Wendi already has been set up by Georgia's questioning at the trial. Wendi has perjured herself and she did not get any kind of immunity for that. These folks are like the Trump family--so used to getting their way by money and bullying that they thought they would never be held accountable. It is nice to see the law prevail. Hopefully, we will see more of this.
When I saw the judge, I had a feeling I'd seen her. I was right. The judge is Mindy Glazier, who became famous a few years ago when she saw a middle-school classmate come before her. She had a nice demeanor then, so I gather that's how she is.
She had so much to say about the grandchildren living closer to her when she was only about a 6 or 7 hour drive away, now she is willing to go halfway around the world from them. I think they had plans to go and then they (daughter & grandchildren) join them later.
Wendy and the kids were probably going to join them later on. I think the entire family will charged with something, eventually. Except Robert. (Smartest one in the family to stay away from them.)
@@Songbirdstress Only thing I heard from a 20/20 doc was that Charlie and Wendy were 'favored' by the parents and did whatever they told them to do, even their career choices, partners, etc. Robert didn't totally listen to them. The family disowned him completely when he married a woman who was not Jewish. He was OK with it. Good for Robert! He dodged all the drama and murder. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I never thought this would happen. I think wendy an Harvey were also in on it but i love that they are going one by one, the mental an emotional torment that all of that family are going through wondering who's next is amazing!!! Finally justice for Dan ❤
I think they know that Wendy will roll on anybody to save herself, so they are letting her think about it. If the money came directly from Donna to Charlie, then to Katie...then Donna is going to prison. No doubts about that.
Wendi is just as evil as her mother. This whole thing was carefully planned and they scapegoated people less fortunate than them. No wonder the eldest doesn't associate with them. The whole lot must be hauled in. Wendi said so, didn't think it would hit so close to home. Justice ⚖️ for the Markel family
Wendi has immunity and can’t be prosecuted nor is able to purger herself on the stand. She agreed to testify and signed a deal. There’s nothing they can get her on, nothing. They couldn’t get to her brother & mother without her testimony. They believed it was Charlie acting on behalf of the mother, there was no significant evidence pointing to Wendi being part of the plan. Her interrogations are available on line.
I don't think it's amazing but they have to face justice and for me it's so sad for all of them. people that could have a wonderful life choose to go through the most horrible way.
I can't imagine how much therapy these poor kids will need to even start to comprehend how their family did this. 😢 sad for the Markel family and children.
I know. I'm glad justice is being served finally, but the overall destruction caused is truly sad. The Markel sons, Charlies young son, Rob having to explain to his kids what their estranged family did, just truly a sad situation all around. Donna wanted what she wanted, and went for it.
I'm confused by this comment. Their grandmother and uncle murdered their father, and they were lied to that their father was a bad person, and his parents were bad people. You don't think that would impact them? They've never really had a father. Yes, it was for custody, but I don't think that negates the ugliness they have experienced, and will experience. @@karabinas
For now, sure, but, you don't think they will eventually put things together in a few years when they are adults? It's fairly obvious what happened here: Their grandmother and uncle murdered their father. Charlie's best friend said that one of the boys is a great chess player. Those boys are whip smart. Eventually, they will begin processing things on their own. @@lolacole5653
It is sad bc the Markels had to get a law passed for grandparents visitation and the boys don't really know them bc wendy has prevented them from being in their grandparents' lives. They are going to be uprooted and lose the only family they knew (if wendy goes to prison🤞). Hopefully they will understand everything when they are older. Btw, I'm dying for the vid of Donna's arrest!
Thing is the A’s had the children when they were cute 4/5 years old. I would guess the M’s are too old to raise teenagers. No disrespect. Also, I have time, on my breaks only to catch the trials.
It is unconscionable that Dan's children are still in the care of their Mom, Wendi. The fact she was given part immunity shows she had knowledge of the plan and the fact it was her family who made sure to get it done. That right there, should have been enough to take the kids away. Its past time for them to go spend time with the Dads side of the family! Make it right!
It's my greatest hope that the boys will go live with Robert Adelson and his wife in New York after Wendi is eventually arrested. They're young enough to parent two teenagers, they'll be much closer to the Markels for visits, and will be able to help the boys sort out their very complicated feelings about being Adelsons.
@@jacksyoutubechannel4045that’s never going to happen. Every single investigator has said that there’s not a shred of evidence or emails linking Wendi to knowing anything.
There is a RU-vid video of Judge Glazer where one of former classmates is in her court room and he breaks down for letting her down. Quite the moving video.
Living in Miami I am very familiar with Judge Glazer. It’s very strange how she is being extra kind to Donna Adelson who is a murder suspect. She would have to be living under a rock to not be familiar with this case! I have seen her scold/lecture people in hearings for minor infractions like theft! 🥹
The judge was in a video where she recognizes one of her school mates, and realizes where he was standing and also said to him something around the same lines of “I’m sorry”
I think this is the judge that had a childhood friend in front of her and she told him as well that she was sorry he was in front of her and he apparently turned his life around.
There’s a video on YT of this judge encountering a criminal defendant who was a childhood friend of hers. It’s quite touching…the defendant was so ashamed of what he has become compared to the judge, and the judge was kind and respectful.
I found you - or rather, you were part of - Legalbytes during the DvH trial. I followed almost everyone who took part in the panel but I dropped most of them because their stream isn't really aligned with my affection for a non-biased explanation of the law and, although some of them come close, you are money. So thanks and I wish I could afford to support you but I hope you hear that support in this post with change :) Oh, BTW - I moved OUT of Florida so my hat is off to anyone who can stand summers. I honestly thought someone set fire to me the first year. Be good, be well, be happy.
I went to Florida in July for a class trip and I HATED it. I have always wondered why people love it so much. I really couldn’t wait to get back home to indiana. I will say I was in Cancun in the summer, and also Nevada in July and the heat is so different, I walked miles down the strip for hours and it just didn’t feel like Florida heat at all!! I literally passed out in Florida just walking 😂😂
It’s been 9 years that the Markel family have waited for the justice of their amazing Son , Brother , he loved the Justice System & I’m so happy it’s working for him receiving the Justice he deserves, what a terrible senseless loss ,
The times that I’ve seen this judge. This is the demeanor that she always has, she tries to be sympathetic, respectful, and personable. She’s been shown on court cam a few times.
It must feel like a mudslide for this family watching themselves pulverize one by one . They had it all, all of them healthy , wealthy , had togetherness and for what ? Was this ever worth it in the long run? There will NEVER be a perfect murder , it’s a sin that will seek a killer out ,one way or another.
Yeah. The scope of this is just amazing. What I'm confused by is, Donna wanted her grandkids, and decided that the best way to do it was to murder someone. Not ONE person said "This is a bad idea"? NO ONE??
Thank you, Peter for all you do covering criminal cases. I thought I remember you mentioning Dan Markel a long time ago and how you knew him from Law school, could be wrong.
Thank you Lawyer You Know for covering this case! I'm a law nerd but Emily has been off the case. I am happy to be a subscriber--keep up the awesome coverage and varied topics!
So much damage done here. Sounds like the whole family is dysfunctional as hell. Narcissists and entitled to have their own way, had the money to have Markel killed, convince him of relocation and I bet they are thinking now that it wasn’t worth it. They deserve everything they get but the kids sure don’t deserve all this heartache.
The judge was talking to Donna's attorney. The whole situation is wild. They're moving fast because of the Adelson's one way trip to Vietnam 🇻🇳. I'm curious as to what will happen to Harvey and Wendi in the near future.
It's amazing how many people do not think anyone listens to the calls. I once heard an inmate barging to his girlfriend how he shot the man in his head with his 45 cal. pistol. The girlfriend told him this call is being recorded watch what you say. He replied there is no way they can listen to every call. The phone call was played for the jury in trial!
Yeh they absolutely knew it was recorded. Charlie and Donna are stupid in many ways but they aren’t that stupid to know that. I don’t believe for a second they were planning to land in Vietnam. They would have landed in Dubai and bought a ticket to another non-extradition country in Asia. The UAE is of course also non-extradition but being Jewish I highly doubt they would have stayed there 😊
Everyone knows jail calls are recorded. Did she/they want to get caught? Or do they want this entire ordeal to be over? Are they now just trying to save Wendi so she can raise the grandchildren? Do the grandchildren have dual citizenship with Canada so they can live with Dan’s family? So many questions 🧐
Yes if 1 parent is born in America and the other born in Africa then they have both just like my nephew who's mom was born in south Africa and my brother born in United States of America. The children will have both for the rest of their lives
@@SongbirdstressThis is incorrect. The U.S. allows for multiple citizenships and nationalities. I have friends with dual and triple citizenships, and I googled to confirm this is allowed.
@@carrieanncancino5118immigration laws are complex and different for each country. US allows natural born citizens (if you are born in US you are a citizen) other countries (like Australia) don’t. Canada grants dual citizenship to someone with one Canadian parent. The US does not, you would have to renounce your Canadian citizenship to “become” an American. Note this does not apply to natural born Americans who wish to “become” a dual citizen of another country.
They just wanted to inform chaly his next mission "having si-si and co. move to Saigon" for family support I believe that was if not the main reason they hired the hit moving close to mum daddy and Charley for support? Wonder why D.A. wants to fly to Vietnam ! Tallahassee is way closer you can even rent a car and get there in couole hours even Garcia and Rivera know it... oh Donna Donna conciousness of guilt ayayai.KARMA is like santa clauss ALWAYS watching hope you get a bigger TV for xmaS
Thanks for making this info available. Unreal Donna Adelson seems to be completely unable to monitor herself. While watching, I kept imagining the eldest son watching as his whole family goes down one-by-one.
Replay crew! This is such a sad case. After going through the Maya Kowalski case I can’t help but ask why are these two boys not being helped. Seems they are in more danger from a parent than Maya ever was. I pray they aren’t harmed anymore than they already. Keeping them and the Kowalski’s in my prayers. Thank you Peter for always jumping on to keep us well informed.
Yes, it is so tragic. So senseless and ruined so many lives. And these boy’s probably love their mother bc she is their mother. I hope they have enough of the Markel genetic work up to withstand all of this and hopefully not so damaged they couldn’t thrive with the Markel’s love and guidance. Being teens now it might be harder on them.
When the judge was saying the lady looked like someone on her plane yesterday (during Donna's hearing) I thought she was referring to the lady in the top right corner of the screen. Because the judge said it right after the lady appeared on the screen in front of the seal.
I can see her say “your client” yes you are right. And you can read her lips to. Thanks for getting to the point and not starting from beginning of the case. You do a good job!
Replay crew! This was on at 1am my time so happy to wake up to a LYK update. This is a sad one, hope Dan gets justice and those kids are safe.😢 Thank you Peter, I know you're a busy bloke. Blessings from Scotland 😊
I heard the same thing “she looks like the lady on my plane” as in donna. I could be completely wrong but yes very odd exchange considering the circumstances 😅
One of best guest they had and AA crime was Charlie's ex friend Fitzpatrick-- he says how smart Wendi is , and conniving....also how they never talked about it, but knew was done. He really down to earth and funny
Yes he's a big lawyer there Surviving the survivor was 1st stream I watched B4 finding you....he does have great guests. Since he knows Georgia personally watching the trial through them was cool
I pray Dan Markel’s family can get those kids…..& they can get them into counseling…..I pray Wendi is next🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾That would complete the justice that Dan & his family deserves & Dan soul can rest…..
I really don't think so, she obviously knew all about it, but, I think they may charge her with some lesser stuff that won't leave her children parentless....😢
Curious, can Harvey be charged for helping her flee? I’m not sure they would have enough to convict Harvey or Wendi. Donna and Charlie seem to be the two most involved. The seem to come across as though they feel Harvey needs to be protected from every as not to stress him out and that Wendi is weak, so the two of them had to do the dirt work. Hope she is convicted. RIP Dan Markel
same judge who recognized a man who appeared in her court on charges from going to the same school when they were young. she was really nice to him... she seems like a kind person. 💯
This is the judge that once recognized a man (inmate) before her as someone she went to grade school with. She was very kind to him and gave him words of encouragement... So to answer your question Peter, I think the judge is just a nice person.
That judge is shown on a show called Court Cam. I have never seen her be anything but overly kind to people so the things she said didn’t seem out of the ordinary for her. Just my perspective of her 😊 PS Love your channel, keep doing what you do 😊
