Tallahassee lawyer Stephen Webster was Dan Markel's last lawyer in his ongoing family court case with his ex-wife Wendi Adelson. He is a graduate of Florida State University law school and is a law partner of Webster & Baptiste, Attorneys at Law. Markel was a former professor of Webster's law partner Jean Louis Baptiste and introduced the two of them when Webster was looking to hire an associate. Dan Markel was a criminal law professor, originally from Montreal and Toronto, who was shot by Sigfredo Garcia on July 18, 2014 in his garage. Markel and Wendi Adelson had gone through a contentious divorce and custody case and shared custody of their two young sons. Three days after Markel was shot, Adelson left for S. Florida with her parents and the children and never spoke with investigators again. Charlie Adelson was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in late 2023 for his role in the murder for hire. Charlie and Wendi's mother Donna Adelson faces the same charges and will be on trial in September 2024. Wendi Adelson has been named as a co-conspirator but has not been charged with any crimes so far.
Ben and Lincoln Markel deserve to hear the truth. Their dad loved them so much and was an amazing human being.❤❤
Yes, they certainly do. Thank you for stating their names as Markel. Wendi can never remove Dan's DNA from the boys and one of the biggest injustices she's done was changing their names to Adelson 😢 My sincere hope is that the boys do learn the truth when they are old enough to fully understand its horror and change their names back to Markel to forever honor the Dad who loved them so very much. That they will recoil at the thought of bearing the name of the very family that murdered their father.
The Adelsons HATE Dan with a passion.
They are repugnant villains.
The Adelson name is trash.
I bet they’re seething with rage.
The man that they hated.
The man that they destroyed has become the good guy.
He has defeated them…even in death.
Not just that but all that Adelson money will be gone on lawyers fees. Four people from the same family hiring top-notch lawyers will easily cost $8 million and they're still going to lose and all end up in prison. That's gotta hurt.
He was always the good guy. It was unacceptable to do this is anyone
@@sula1529 - He was a good guy. But he’s more well known because of his death. And the Adelson‘s are more hated because of his death.
They tried to erase Dan.
But now more people know about him and love him then ever before
Loved every word of this!!… although none of these people are my immediate circle …. I feel far too much outrage and frustration regarding this case. I shall go crazy if they don’t charge & prosecute Wendi soon 🤪🤨🧐
Yes! This is one thing that makes me happy, even though they haven't all been charged yet. BECAUSE of what they did, the world knows that he was on a different level than they were/are. They are evil. He was good.
Thank you for saying you think Wendi will be arrested . It’s just good to hear those words spoken , it’s reassuring if anything .
Thank you Judy for this live ❤! Great guest , so much integrity and genuine concern for Danny’s 2 Sons .
I really hope the boys are watching this!!!
I do too, although I seriously doubt it. Mr. Webster's statement directed to Ben and Lincoln had me in tears 😢. So heartfelt and him saying he'll continue being an advocate for their Dad as long as he lives was powerful.
Arrest Wendi Fibbers already !!
They may be waiting until the kids are grown independent and over 18 ?
@@sula1529 Since when do they do that!
@sula1529
Authorities wait to make an arrest of suspect involved in a murder? Never.
They never take into account of the suspects family or circumstances involving juvenile children.
They'll be placed in the custody of the state when their mother is arrested.
Family members get involved as to who will get custody.
That's the way it works.
@@Jeanne-CrimeJunkie maybe these kids can testify when they are over 18
@@Lisa-hc3uq Dan's parents wouldn't want them to go into care
"If I woke up and found out Dan Markel is still alive, I would make more sense to me" Wow, that's quite a statement. So tragic.
There are several such statements that Mr. Webster makes which paint the picture of how devastating narcissistic abuse can be to a person. It is an absolute mind fuk. It is the essence of emotional trauma. Mr. Webster exemplifies the antithesis of self centeredness, which is the only way to put the pieces back together after your friend is murdered.
Catch ya on the replay!I love Mr. Webster such a great human! Keep fighting the fight, we support you!
Judy & Mr Webster = INTEGRITY!
(Wonderful interview, Judy) 🇦🇺
Hi Judy - thank you once again for keeping this case alive - another great guest and interview !
Thank you both, this was an excellent discussion and I was touched in my heart at Mr. Stephen Webster’s closing words to Dan’s sons. ♥️♥️
Thanks also for your efforts in drawing attention to Dan Markel's case.
Thank you both for this very informative interview….100 % Justice for Dan♥️🩵💙💯
Thanks Judy for having Mr Webster on. It is good to hear from someone who also knew Dan and his love for his boys.❤
Thanks Judy for having Stephen Webster on. ✌️
He had so many interesting & important things to say.
@@aalegalfocus I'm still watching. I feel bad for him talking about him being in a daze not being able to concentrate on his work. Breaks my heart
Oh that last statement from Stephen is so powerful. I hope Dan's boys do hear it loud and with the love behind it. We all think of Dan's boys regularly and hope they have peace throughout their lives, as Dan would want.
… hard to imagine the brainwashing and gaslighting the boys have been subjected to from the Adelson family, hopefully they will emerge from the fog one day.
Replay crew!! Thank you for organising this Judy. I love your guest. His words about Dan always bring me to tears.
Thank you Judy for your dedication to Dan's case your channel is absolutely brilliant
Thanks for watching and caring.
@@aalegalfocus Yes, thank you Judy! May there be true and complete justice for Dan.
Thank you for having this wonderful guy on. I love Stephen Webster, he stands for everything good.❤
Wow Judy that was such a great and tender interview. Stephen's personal message to Dan's two children came from his heart and it was very moving. Thank you again, to both of you and for all the thoughtful tributes to Dan's valuable life in the comments
It's wonderful that Stephen Webster has continued talking about Dan Markel.
Thanks Judy & Stephen. Great interview.
Mr. Webster, your comments to the boys were truthful, kind, and when they hear them, healing. Your words seemed to have come from your experiences with Mr. Markel, as well as your own role as a father. They were expressed in a way that his sons will be able to truly hear, once they have the opportunity- -and they will. I pray for peace for you, too. Well done.
Looking forward to seeing you on the stand in Wendi’s trial.
🙌🏻
I know, but the children! How tragic! It makes you sick to think how they took everything good from their childhood. So, Doona could have her way and Wendi. She knew and couldn't wait to see with her own eyes!
Wow Judy!
Your landing all of the great interview with top notch guest for your subscribers and viewer’s.
Congratulations on your success and the excellent way the interviews were conducted.
Superb content.
Thanks for this again Judy.
Thanks, for inviting Attorney Stephen Foster to be interviewed on your channel. Great interview! It was like a small window into meeting Professor Dan Markel.
Missed the live, but clicked immediately when I saw Mr. Webster was your guest. What a kind, gentle soul he is! He never fails to to speak only the truth about Dan, and speaks so highly of those he works with (Louis!).
Mr Webster you have absolutely confirmed any doubt I may have had. So interesting. Fantastic interview.
Such a great guest, so honest, respectful and clear, thanks for having him in your show. I really appreciate all your work. Justice for Dan ⚖️
Thanks Judy … Sorry I missed the live … Catching the replay now 🙏❤️
Thank you Judy!❤️Great show great questions and most of all Stephen was wonderful! So,glad I was able to see this live. So glad Stephen said yes! 👍🏼
Yes, it was great that he was willing to speak more about Dan Markel.
Thank you Judy, I always look forward to your program💛
Thanks For This Wonderful Interviews, Judy. Every Time, I've Watched Any Interview That Stephen Webster is Part of, I've Been SO VERY IMPRESSED BY HIM. He Appears To Be Such a Warm & Wonderful Person! ❤
Yes, he definitely spoke from the heart & is a great advocate for Dan.
Thanks Judy and Stephen
Thank you Judy❤another great interview. We all appreciate everything you do to keep the Justice for Dan movement in the forefront. ❤

Excellent. Thanks so much Judy. The best!
Touching interview. This man made my heart smile,. It is indeed so inconceivable to hear this dedicated father was cruelly taken out of his sons life by Wendi and her family because it was inconvenient for these monsters to deal with him like normal adults. Justice in full for Dan 2024 and may his legacy of goodness live on❤️
I pray that the young men now (Dan’s son’s) find their way to the Markel side of the family . they will reunite with their grandparents auntie uncle and cousins and find trust and unconditional love
Hopefully their minds have not been manipulated against the grand parents.
They may not have much of a relationship with them at the moment through no fault of their own or the markels but as they get older and have their own kids they might decide to but hopefully that won't be too late. It will take time to build a relationship between them all
As far as they were concerned their main grand parents were Donna and Harvey.
Let's hope they get to hear interviews like this and realise who their dad and his parents were like 🙏
There's no perfect reuniting and happy ever after unfortunately and if wendi goes to prison they lose both parents which will be difficult psychologically and emotionally.,
Replay Crew🇬🇧❤️ Many Thanks Mr Webster for your candid and emotive conversation with Judy. Great Channel. Much Appreciation for your work. #JusticeForDan from Shropshire, England 🏴🦋
(Wow, I left a message and it disappeared.) Anyway, I loved your last question where Stephen gave a powerful, heartwarming message to the boys on Dan's behalf. Another great podcast ... Justice for Dan!
Thanks for watching this & caring.
@@1windyoldbird Well, at least I don't feel singled out now ＼(^_^)／
That's odd. I didn't delete them. Sometimes youtube thinks comments are spam & I later see them within CZcams Studio as a hidden comment that could be spam or offensive. I think if someone makes a comment right after clicking on a video or leaves multiple comments one right after another, youtube is more likely to think it's spam.
@aalegalfocus Hi Judy, we all know you're the last person who'd remove comments. It also happens on other channels for no rhyme or reason ... oh well, first world problems, eh?
@CGriffinGo a few years ago, this subscriber became irate, accusing me of deleting his comments. This was back when I did more "is law school worth it" type videos; he was all riled up & unsubscribed. Another person got upset thinking I'd reported her to youtube & unsubscribed in a huff. She wanted to email me directly about it. Who has time for that? One of the mods may have blocked her during the Brother Counsel livestream, when she was complaining about him talking too much about non-Markel topics.
Excellent interview. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Wow, you don't get to hear a lot about the victim. This makes my heartbreak for the boys.
To have all those outstanding achievements academically and still tell his parents and friends to be quiet about him graduating those colleges so Wendi won’t be upset it shows how big of a person Danny was in many levels not only carrier wise …. Too bad his fate was with Adelsons because another person without those personality flaws would have worked this marriage just great despite of all difficulties risen. This marriage unfortunately was Dona’s way or no way. It started that way and ended that way. Wendi didn’t deserve this guy for a minute.
Hi judy love you're show and mr Webster justice for Dan and his family 😊 Joan Ireland 😊
Wow! I sure hope that Dans boys hear what Stephen Webster had to say to them. Very Very sincere. 😥
Thanks Judy you never disappoint. Thank you Mr Webster.
Thank you for your extensive work on the Adelson case! I am obsessed about this case!
Thanks for watching this and caring about justice for Dan.
I bet Wendi is watching this. Good
Her team is probably watching- whoever is left of it.
Interesting insight on Willie Meggs.
Although ultimately the passage of time resulted in more damaging evidence against Charlie and the others. Thanks for tuning in & for your questions, Dawn!
Happy Father's Day in heaven Dan Markel!!
🙋♀️Any updates on DA in Leon County Jail. I barely can drive by without thinking of how much she hates the food, accommodations, neighbors and sporks‼️💯
True Lifestyles has been at the forefront getting jail records. She had a video about the jail call logs about a month ago.
@@aalegalfocus Judy, thank you for this great interview. All the best, from Palm Beach Florida!!!!
Great interview & guest! Thank you, Judy.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hope your voice recovers.
We need it!
This interview is a really important document of the record of Dan's life and what has befallen his sons. Mr. Webster is in a unique position that allows him to know elements that no one else could know. His honesty and plain spoken nature serves beautifully. Donna Adelson clearly qualifies for having narcissistic personality disorder. She ruined her children's lives by being self-centered. Wendi absorbed her sadistic personality traits. Wendi and Donna hated Dan because he loved his children and because they loved him. Donna taught her daughter to be a liar. It is not too far a stretch to characterize the marriage between Dan and Wendi as fraudulent. The true parties to the marriage included Donna, and of course, Dan had no way of knowing this when they married. Dan's boys will have serious problem from having been raised by narcissists. There is no path out of for them unless they grapple with very painful truths. The effects of being raised by narcissists cannot be un-done over night.
What a wonderful post. Everything you say is spot on. And yes...unravelling the effects of being raised by a narcissist takes a very, very long time. Unfortunately the only way forward for the boys is to have future stength and courage to peel away all the layers of their distorted upbringing.
The more the facts unfold, the more heartbreaking this case becomes. #JusticeforDan 🙏💓💔
Of all times I go out and Stephen Webster was on omggg ! We’re still learning little tidbits on The Case incredible to hear ! I’m so happy your read my thoughts you and I and many people have felt so much about Dans death and he is an advocate for Dan the loving father and the intelligence he had the man he was his legacy carries on !I am on that wave length the talent in the prosecutors office can get the arrest of Wendi ! I especially love Dan introduced him to Mr Baptiste also an advocate for the love Dan had for his boys and them being able to carry on in a practice together I’m sure he is shining down on them ❤️Thank you Judy looking wonderful as always 💕👋🏻
Thanks for tuning in. It was a privilege to talk to Dan's attorney, Stephen Webster.
Judy, all credit to you for this amazing job you are doing. Wish you all the best!!
Thank you, Judy! Such a great job and we at Justice for Dan, Inc. appreciate the support as well!
Thanks, Jared! We'll be in touch soon!
One of the best interviews to date. Amazing information. He is very well spoken and just a genuinely good guy.
Thank you.
Wow Judy! What a treat to hear another great interview from you and , Stephen is amazing- thank you so much for your hard work!
Thanks for watching!
Another great show! The two prompters are such genuine people and care about Dan and that the truth be told. Steve is a good solid man and kind of changes my thoughts towards lawyers. He was concerned for truth and not the nonsense. Just such a shame this all happened to Dan and to his sons. It’s honestly heartbreaking and still shocking after 10 years! I really hope she’s arrested on the anniversary of Dan’s death! July 19th 2024! Go TEAM MARKEL!
Thanks for watching & caring about justice for Dan.
I'll have to watch the whole thing on replay. I saw a half hour of the live but I had to run out.
Thanks as always Judy!
Thanks for joining in the premiere.
Judy is the best.
Replay, Hi! Judy great to see you , wonderful interview with Mr. Webster. 👋🥰❤️🙏🤗
Thanks for watching this and caring about justice for Dan.
@@aalegalfocus one of the best interviews, Judy . Mr. Webster is a good man whom like the the majority of us sane people have such a difficult time believing people like the evil Adelson’s exist to do such a horrific thing to another human being. We that care so much for Dan & his family continue to keep this horrendous crime for justice for Dan & family alive until all responsible are prosecuted. Thanks so much Judy, you’re also a wonderful person, we love you, Darlin. Can’t wait until DA ‘s trial & hopefully the arrest of Wendi. My heart aches for his son’s & Dam’s family. ❤️🙏👋🥰🤗
Thank you for this wonderful interview, Judy! Mr. Webster is such a sincere and honest man.❤
On replay. I really admire Steven Webster. He is a good human being and always brings Dan to life. I do hope Wendi gets arrested soon the more I hear about her the more unjust it seems that she is still free. Thanks again Judy for a great interview.
We appreciate your support!
Thank you so much Judy for this interview. I have been following this case since Charlie's trial. I saw bits and pieces of Katie's second trial on Court TV, but since Charlie's conviction I have been following faithfully. Attorney Webster has made me even more passionate towards knowing who Dan really was and praying his sons learn the truth about their dad and the evilness of the Adelson family. I watch something about it every day, reruns, etc. I was not going to donate any $$$ to the Justice for Dan organization bcuz I live on a fixed income, but after hearing this interview, I am going to donate something. Again, thank you.
Thank you very much for caring.
Judy thank you for this amazing interview. Mr. Webster is an amazing human being and a great advocate for Dan Markel.
Attorney Webster was very interesting to listen to and you asked him some great questions! By the way, Judy, you look very pretty here.
Thank you, Mr. Webster.
Thankyou Judy, great interview…take care and hope you are better xx Australia
Great interview!
I like Stephen Webster!
Just found this video. It’s so illuminating! Thanks Judy❤
Thank you Judy! Thank you Mr. Webster! You are an amazing human, attorney and advocate for Dan! I am hoping and praying that one day Benjamin and Lincoln can view this episode and hear the truth about their amazing father.❤
Thank you again Judy you always have the best guest and go a long ways to keeping Dan Markels memory alive for us all.Steve was a great guest such beautiful words for his children. Justice for Dan Markel❤
Thanks so much for this Judy. Stephen is a real gentleman. He is not afraid to share his emotions about the effect Dans death had had on him and he is so genuine. Great questions Judy, some new interesting nuggets. The call from the doctor’s office, Lord 😮. How Dan intimated that Donna “was not to be trusted” - wow, to hear this as first hand testimony from Stephen is chilling. As if we needed any proof that Donna was chief instigator but for it to be reinforced by Dan himself at how cold blooded she was is still shocking. The way Wendi put out “feeler” calls to Stephen and also Jared shows how evil and conniving this evil woman is. Like mother like daughter. Like father like son. The Adelson 4 will get their just deserts.
I love Stephen Webster’s motivation for attending law school.❤❤❤❤
Yes! Btw, I made the comment about Sigfredo and Luis because they too worked in construction, for Coastal Masonry. It's interesting to hear how people turned to law as a second career. Now 32 doesn't sound old at all.
Great, Judy👏🏻🍿
Thanks!
Great content Judy.. awesome job...
I love this man… he is someone whose literal calling was to be an attorney. It would be wonderful if all lawyers could be like him. He’s truly honorable. ♥️⚖️ I’ve worked for many attorneys over the years and this guy is the epitome of what a good lawyer should be. I’m grateful that he was Dan’s attorney. The emotion in his voice when speaking of Dan is so deeply touching.
Great questions!!!!!!
@AALegalFocus, I want to say too that I appreciate your efforts to keep the Markel case alive. For giving a voice to Dan Markel even ten years after his death. For inviting guests who loved Dan and are also still working to get justice for Dan, which will not be complete until Wendi and Harvey both are arrested and charged.
Thanks for your support and caring about justice for Dan.
Can he testify in Donna’s trial for the prosecution?
He could if the State decides to call him again as a witness.
Thank you Judy! Thank you for bringing such great guest! Mr Webster is a treasure for Dan Markel memories and hope the kids get to listen to his thoughtful words someday. But I’m still curious since he kept in touch with detective Isom, what did Isom thought about Wendi’s culpability? I will be always wondering..
Very sad listening to SW talk about how this murder affected him.
It was evident that Dan's death continues to trouble him almost 10 years later. I'm glad he was willing and able to keep talking through it. I wasn't going to change the focus of the interview but what he said was similar to the effect Robert Wone's murder had on me after I found out about it- being in a daze, unable to focus well on work, constantly ruminating about what happened. Stephen Webster said so many powerful, meaningful words in honor of & as an advocate for Dan.
@@aalegalfocus he did say so many great things especially to Dan's children. Sorry for your loss and Judy. Murder is so traumatizing to victims loved ones
Good person offenly...abused
I prayed...justice hS been serve ...this boys has been poisoined...Windy must..go to jail
This lawyer strong evidence for Dan...against Windy
Stephen Webster is one impressive human being. I could feel his emotions. I hope the boys seek him
out later. I am sure he will treat Ben & Lincoln like his sons. I hope he writes a book on Dan Markle that the boys and others can read! Very very sad, even though I don’t know Dan.
Judy, I LOVE your Adelson coverage. Webster is ride-or-die for Dan and I love hearing him recount his experiences with Wendi. He wants her in jail almost as much as I do.
Wendi is guilty (IMHO) and like Webster, I expect Wendi will be arrested very soon. Wendi’s guilt seeps out whenever she speaks- for example, in her email to Donna shortly after Charlie’s conviction Wendi writes, “…I’m not responsible in any way for Charlie’s situation. I am not guilty because I did not do anything wrong…”
Now, why would Wendi need to qualify her innocence with the second part? Why would Wendi need to tell Donna she’s done nothing wrong? Surely an innocent person wouldn’t need to explain to their own mother why they’re innocent if they’ve done nothing wrong. But Wendi knows she cannot say she did nothing; all she can say is that she’s done nothing wrong. Because Donna knows what Wendi did. And Donna has probably consoled Wendi over the years- assuring her daughter that she really had done nothing wrong. I’m sure Donna has told Wendi that it was not wrong to reveal Dan’s location to Charlie- even though all of them knew this act meant the hitmen would soon find and murder Dan. But a sister telling a brother a fact as simple as a location of a latex spouse, that is not wrong, is it? (It is. It’s wrong; when placed in the context, it’s wrong and it’s 1st Degree Murder, Wendi. And THAT is “unconstitutional”).
I believe this comment from Wendi to Donna says it all. “I’m not responsible … because I did not do anything wrong”. Charlie also whines to Donna about the fact that he’s been convicted for a crime he didn’t commit. But what he’s really saying is- I have been convicted of murder and that’s unfair because I’m not the trigger man. He’s dissociating his involvement from the crime itself. Charlie also complains about the case being “dumbed down” to more than the events on July 18. In his comments to Donna on the jailhouse calls it’s clear Charlie has excused himself from any culpability in any actions because he was not involved in the physical murder on July 18. And Donna listens sympathetically. She doesn’t challenge his flawed logic. She goes along with it- because they’re being recorded and because anything else would require Donna to admit her own involvement- and that’s not going to happen,
I believe Wendi was intricately involved in the planning of the murder; Wendi understands her role was minimal (in her mind), but she also understands its grounds for prosecution. She revealed Dan’s whereabouts that morning, and that’s how the hitmen found him, and that’s how he was killed. She knows this is the act that will seal her fate. So she is now trying to get ahead of it by signaling to her mom that if push comes to shove, Wendi will be willing to admit she did disclose Dan’s location to Charlie during that 18 minute call, but she had no awareness of that act’s consequences. In essence, she is telling Donna in no uncertain terms that she will throw Charlie under the bus if it comes down to it. This also signals to Donna that Wendi will throw Donna under the bus if necessary, too. Wendi, Donna, and Charlie, all recognize they all spoke in half-truth’s and code during the entire planning phase- and Wendi stupidly believes this will allow her to feign ignorance and therefore innocence when it comes time for her own trial.
However, she will be convicted when she stands trial. The State has the WhatsApp receipts and Wendi knows it. Georgia basically told Wendi that she had the proof when she asked Wendi about her use of WhatsApp. Georgia also signals to Wendi that she knows Wendi was the one who provided Dan’s location to the hitmen through Charlie. Wendi will need to explain away the text to Dan several weeks earlier- ya know, the text where Wendi asks Dan if he’ll be in town on the day of the murder because she wants to know if she can have “the kiddos”.
And by the way, “Kiddos” …? Awful.
Wendi is quite proud of her Pearl Harbor divorce ambush, too. In the Writing Class podcast she says (paraphrasing), “it wasn’t the first time I’d asked Danny for a divorce, but it was the last time” … I mean, who says that?! And says it about their own murder victim, no less. How cold-blooded. Wendi is a true monster.
That divorce was an extremely nasty divorce, and Wendi’s pride was on the line. Donna wanted those boys in Miami with her because Donna desperately needed a mulligan at motherhood. She wanted a redo. Donna had raised two boys, and look how that panned out. One son didn’t talk to her because he saw Donna for the monster she was (Robert- shout out to him), and one son was a dental school fuck-up riding Daddy’s coat-tails, zero humility, I mean heck- Charlie has the audacity to whine to his parents on the jailhouse calls that (paraphrasing) “he made it, he made it on his own- no one helped him” 😲 I mean, really? Charlie says this to Harvey and Donna- knowing full and well that Harvey had to help him pass his classes, graduate, and then gave him his job at the Adelson Institute. If that’s not “help” I don’t know what is. ‘Self-made’ is not a word I’d use to describe Charlie, lol. My point is, there was Wendi’s rage from the divorce- a battle she knew she was losing, and there was also Donna’s desperation to have another two boys in her possession. For Donna, the possession of these boys was the next best thing to a real-live fountain of youth. Having the boys meant Donna could relive her younger years raising two young boys- first Robert and Charlie, and now Ben and Lincoln.
People sometimes erroneously posit Donna to have been in the driver’s seat and Wendi was a passive bystander- but that is not the case, at all. Each of these women had their own passionate motive to see Dan dead. For Wendi, it was about winning. For Donna, it was about reliving her years when she was a young mom.
Those Adelson’s all spoke about this murder in code, but they all knew exactly what they were working towards. They all knew the goal. Once it happened, Wendi could hardly believe it. The fiction-author’s fantasy had become reality as soon as she saw it with her own blue-contact covered eyes as she K-Turned her minivan around down on Trescott that fateful day.
“This is Our Story” is just a joke, too. What’s up with these creepy spouse-murdering women writing shitty books and then going on some shitty daytime local news show to talk about said shitty book? (ahem, Kouri Richins, meet Wendi Jill Adelson) It’s appalling. Once Wendi is convicted she’ll become a case study example of what a monster looks like, lurking in plain sight. That’ll be the retrospective lens through which newcomers to this case reflect on this woman. But I find it way more fascinating to consider Wendi now, while she lives in purgatory, awaiting her own arrest. Imagine the dread she must feel every day. The merry go round of emotions- dread, denial, rabbit-hole analysis, revisionist history thought exercises, regret, vengeance, repeat. Once Wendi is arrested the intrigue will fall away for me. And I look forward to the day. Until then, here were are.
Justice for Dan Markel
Arrest Wendi Adelson, NOW.
Wow. Those last statements brought me to tears ❤️💔 what a beautiful tribute and dedication to Dan. I cannot despise Wendi anymore for the devastation she created!!
Me too. Honestly the whole interview was a tearjerker. I know someone just like Wendi… high functioning, successful, clever, but chillingly capable of any act regardless of whose lives shes to hurt or traumatized forever. They must charge this woman.
Great guest interview. What a wonderful message he gave at the very end for the boys. Wendy changed the name of the boys so that when googled (and if they got away with it) it would be distant. Boy, did that backfire now when they google the name Adelson!
I'm here, Judy!

Thanks for watching this and caring about justice for Dan.
Great interview Judy. It actually brought tears to my eyes. I was lucky enough to meet Ruth and Phil Markel in Toronto, Joel and Karm’s book signing!❤
That's wonderful you got to go and meet them. Yes, Stephen Webster's recollections were so moving.
Oh no. I missed you going live. Watching now.
They were divorced under civil law. But not religiously - ie under Jewish law - since in that toxic civil divorce context the religious divorce ("guet") procedure can't have been carried out. Indeed, it would have been a bargaining counter. Failing a guet, neither could have remarried. The guet would have mattered to Dan, though not to Wendi. Under Jewish law, they were still married.
Wendi is clearly not a godly woman. As a mother of two young boys also her dating is out of control. She doesn’t have any fear about her soul. Scary. Her and her family did the devil’s work in perfection against a godly man and they will surely pay for it.
Just listened to this wonderful interview, Judy. Thanks!
I Love Judy's Shows!
Thanks, Bruce. Hope you are doing well!
Such a nice guy..nice lawyer.
If Wendi wanted to ever make some sort of amends with dans family, wouldn’t she be more cordial to them, maybe start by giving back the heirloom diamond ring to dans mother? Wendi talked about being amicable to dans parents when Georgia questioned her during Charlie’s trial. But I’m sure, once again, Wendi was lying, again, like she did several times while on the stand
