    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!

      @@mcnugs7648 yes hopefully they have more on her. We don’t know about the Whatsapp.
      I have watched her testimony from the 3 trials and her interview with Isom so many times and every time I watch her with Isom, I find something else.
      Such as her voice mails with Dan on the day of the murder. And the issues with him wanting to take the kids to the pool being a distraction from her not returning his calls about the kids school (Bc she knew the boy would never be attending the school)etc etc. I can write and essay.
      Here supposed laryngitis that week is a big lie.
      The state had enough on the whole family to arrest them all in 2016 but politics got in the way.
      An affluent family with political connections to judges.
      So I’m guessing Georgia will reel them in one at a time..just sad they had those boys for all these years . And they were able to brainwash the boys. I am praying for the boys. It has to be horrible to lose a dad and be told lies about it.

      This is a political case . And that’s why there’s been no Justice for the Markels for almost a decade
