    Much respect for the Markel’s. They remained poised and showed a lot of strength to sit through each trial. No facial expressions through all the testimony especially seeing them in the gallery through Charlie’s trial. Listening to Wendi literally lie about them having access to their grandchildren. Listening to wiretaps while Donna tending to their grandchildren, and Charlie’s BS extortion defense/lies. It’s too much to process. I don’t know if I could have the strength they had. All in the spirit of justice for their son. God rest his Dan Markel’s soul. He’s prosecuting from the grave. An attorney in life and afterlife. My heart breaks for the Markel’s. Hugs and prayers from afar. We love and support the Markel’s. They have much support from around the globe 🌍 The Adelson’s are morally bankrupt. They are Godless and have no heart and soul. I believe in karma and “you get what you give.” They have blood on their hands and now will pay the price!

      The Adelsons were worth many millions!! They had the dental practice and made millions but also own a good bit of real estate in Miami. I think they thought they would never get caught but I’m so glad they did!! Just infuriating what they did to Dan!! 😡😡. He attended Harvard then Cambridge college in England for his master’s degree and back to Harvard for his law degree. An absolutely brilliant professor at Florida State University Law School.

    Ms. Ruth is a nice lady. After everything she has been through and is still going through, she is trying to help other families that find themselves in a similar situation by writing her book. Blessings and prayers Ms. Ruth.

    It is astonishing to me that a family is willing to gang up on a loving parent after a divorce to the point of murder. But happens. No thought of the kids. Just the adults and the control. Horrifying.

    Ruth Markel is such a classy and beautiful lady. My heart breaks for her for what this evil family did to Dan and his family. They WILL pay! I have much faith in Georgia Cappleman!!!!!!
    And also, WHY should wendi be allowed to be present when Ruth finally gets her visit with HER GRANDCHILDREN who are both teenagers now?!?! Let the grandparents take the boys to lunch and have alone time without their MURDERING mother there! Wendi is probably shaking in her shoes that the Markel’s may ask questions that Wendi doesn’t want answered! The entire Adelson family is PURE EVIL and HEARTLESS! 😡
    I’m reading Ruth’s book right now. She is such a strong lady. 🙏
