For the Florida FReepers this verdict is now the FIFTH conviction in the Adelson Family Conspiracy to murder Dan Markel in 2014.
Based on the quick verdict by the jury against Donna Adelson, Wendi Adelson (divorced wife of Dan Markel) will be the next Adelson to be indicted.

The daughter received immunity for turning states evidence and testifying for the prosecution.

“””The daughter received immunity for turning states evidence and testifying for the prosecution.”””
That was very limited immunity-—anything said by Wendi at the trial could not be used against her.
The Prosecutors and Investigators have lots of other information on Wendi that was not discussed at Donna’s trial.

Yep and she moved the kids out of Florida to keep them away from the deceased fathers parents......how despicable is that?

“””Donna Adelson is 75 years old.”””
And after the verdict, Phil Markel (Dan Markel’s father) said in his victim impact statement: “It is a Jewish tradition to wish a person to live to be 120 years. I now wish Donna Adelson will live to be 120 years old so she can spend the time in her lonely cell reflecting on the evil she has done.”

I'm not in Florida, but have found myself sucked into this saga. I watched much of Donna's trial. How sweet it was to see Donna shaking and crying while Judge Everett uttered the word "guilty" three times. Hopefully, Wendi is next. (Oh, and I think I might be in love with prosecutor Georgia Cappleman. 😁)

Re my post #16: You beat me to it, poetry-wise.
Maybe I should read all the comments before posting.
Naw… that would be too much work. 😀
