The hidden meaning of the Celebration Dinner in the murder of Dan Markel
I just released a youtube video looking into this odd area of the case of the FSU law prof who was killed by hitmen hired by his ex-wife's family
Hello again my substack friends. I have been completely absorbed in making youtube videos and I am having a lot of fun learning how to use Adobe Premiere video editing software. I spent several hours of my Friday night learning how to highlight text in a video! Now THIS is a party!
Speaking of parties, the subject of my latest video is about the infamous Celebration Dinner where Wendi Adelson, the ex-wife of murdered law professor Danny Markel, barfed all over the table at a restaurant in the days following the death of professor Markel.
Was Wendi just hearing that her family had arranged the hit? Or did Wendi make up the Celebration Dinner story as an insurance plan in case she needed an alibi later? Charlie Adelson, her brother who she was at the dinner with, has now been convicted of hiring the hitmen to kill Markel. Charlie was found guilty at trial late last year and is now serving life without the possibility of parole aka LWOP. And a week after Charlie’s guilty verdict, Wendi’s mother Donna Adelson was arrested at the airport attempting to flee to Vietnam, a non-extradition country.
In this video we will examine all of the times when the Celebration Dinner has come up in the three trials related to the Markel murder and why it is so important for corroborating the story of star witness for the prosectution Jeffrey Lecasse and how Wendi’s shifting accounts over three trials about the Celebration Dinner impeaches her credibility.
I am already hard at work on my next video about the Zodiac Killer. Let me know if you have any other cases or subjects I should cover! I am always interested in your feedback good or bad. Thanks!
