    On December 18th, Ruby Franke accepted a plea deal and pleaded guilty to 4 out of 6 child abuse charges against her. Ruby's attorney made a statement accusing Jodi Hildebrandt of being the mastermind behind the abuse, and Ruby agreed as part of her deal to testify against Jodi if she goes to trial. Jodi’s next court date is December 27, 2023.
    The jail call that led to Donna Adelson's arrest has been released. The conversation with Charlie Adelson took place shortly after his conviction. Despite jail calls being recorded, Donna discusses her possible plans to end her life, flee the USA, make sure her children are financially taken care of, and read aloud her text exchanges with Wendi.

    My God, she practically giftwrapped this call to the prosecution! Not only did she tell them what her plans were, but also where to find a goldmine of incriminating evidence against her.

      Do you really think Wendi is involved in this whole murder for hire/execution? I think the recorded phone call paints Wendi in a more positive light of not having had anything to do with it. I haven't heard enough evidence one way or another to make up my mind. I guess you could say I'm on the fence with her. I'd like to hear your take if you believe she's guilty, as I've not watched a whole lot on this case. It happened after I left the US for England, so I missed it all when it happened and when the hitmen were tried. It's only come up on my radar in the last 6 months or so.

She didn't say under her breath "I didn't say she was", she said "yes you were". Go back and listen to it again. She's implicated Wendi with that statement.

    • @khaleesireyna731
      @khaleesireyna731 6 місяців тому +7

      ​@Julia-uh4li my money is that Wendi is gonna be the last one the prosecution goes after. This case has been going from the least involved to the most involved. First they got Sigfredo and Luis. Then Katherine. Then Charli. Donna was probably gonna be a little later, but she tried to flee, so now she's next. I kinda love the idea of the walls slowly closing in on Wendi and the DA leaving her for last. It's what she absolutely deserves, because IMHO, she was the one putting a bug in Charli and Donna's ears about how terrible Dan was. And I bet, since Wendi is an attorney, the DA will make sure everything is done nice and neat and in a way she won't see coming.

    Franke was doing questionable things with her children long before Hildebrand ever came on the scene.

      I care about shielding the traumatized children from further humiliation by their mother admitting details of abuse in open court.
      If we think it will punish the mother to do so, I must disagree. She appears to have some SERIOUS Mental Pathology to have allowed this abuse to happen in the first place.
      Her plea deal was standard for any crime; admit to SOME charges, have SOME charges dropped and do less prison time. It had NOTHING to do with her feeling true, sincere REMORSE!

You can tell by the way Donna acted in court that she's used to being the one in charge and how intimidating she can be. I hope they both end up throwing each other under the bus.

    The abuse that SHE put her children thru that's detailed in her plea agreement are absolutely horrific. I was in tears listening to everything she admitted. Just imagine what she DIDN'T admit. Jodi might have added fuel to the fire, but Ruby was already an established abuser. She "gets off" on the control and power trip. She's sooo sorry now that she's been caught. She wasn't thinking about prison time when she made her children work outside for days on end with no shoes and no water. I live in Oklahoma and the summer heat here is unbearable, I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE THE CONDITIONS THOSE CHILDREN HAD TO ENDURE IN THE FREAKING DESERT IN UTAH 🤬🤬 "sloughing skin" REALLY???

    I think ruby did harm to her children but I do believe Jodi took it to the worst level of abuse. I’ve listened to Scientology Stories, Mormon Story podcasts and understand that these extreme religion/cult mentality really is something else I cannot relate to. Jodi’s niece talks of these horrors on the Mormon Stories UA-cam channel. Excellent interview.The story is frightening and eerily reminiscent of what Rubi’s kids endured. Donna, that phone call is something else. The only way she gets acquitted is if those calls are excluded. Thanks Emily. Have a wonderful holiday.

  • @bloodyneptune
    @bloodyneptune 6 місяців тому +1

    I think its _wild_ that when Donna thought _maybe_ her phone was tapped she was all "the condor flies at midnight", but when the call starts with THIS IS BEING RECORDED shes just casually dropping the time, date and location of her attempt to flee the country.

It has nothing to do with her age she should be smart enough I mean it just literally said the call is being recorded It appears to be some type of arrogance because it just makes no sense to anybody there's lots of murderers that do this by the way they just leave a trail that's very obvious

    The Ruby Franke case and stumbling across abuse allegations from Paris Hilton about Provo Boarding School and wondering about their connection to Mormonism led me on a deep drive trying to understand what was behind the possible connection between that religion and very similar examples of child abuse allegations. I found some forums and info on domestic abuse which seems to be prevent and the issue is it's more hushed up or wives told to deal with it or they should repent and try harder and don't divorce cuz how does that look to the community and how the religious leaders the ppl go to for help are volunteers and have very little training with counseling, abuse, etc. The eternal family aspect makes me wonder if the temporary discomfort (abuse) of children on this world doesn't matter if it means the kids will be holy enough to ascend to the eternal family or whatever.

    The whole Markel case is beyond the pale! Dan died all because the Adelson’s wanted their own way… but worse, believed their behavior and desires were more important than his rights as a father to Benjamin and Lincoln. I love hearing these jail calls because it shows how much Donna believes that she is above everything. If anyone is going to sink this battle scarred ship it is going to be Donna and her mouth. Whether by phone conversations, text messages, emails, or even face to face conversations she’s had with others that the state is able to get. And I’m going to enjoy watching every second of the Adelson demise in court.
    Thanks Emily, for highlighting the open line. It is truly a treasure trove for the prosecution.
