Wendi Adelson's attorney questions Rivera's credibility
Wendi Adelson’s attorney is questioning the credibility of a statement prosecutors say could implicate her in the murder-for-hire plot of her ex-husband Dan Markel.
In a statement to police, Luis Rivera – one of two men charged in Markel’s July 2014 shooting – said he and Sigfredo Garcia drove by Adelson near Markel’s Trescott Drive home the day before the murder.
On Tuesday, Assistant State Attorney Georgia Cappleman said the chance sighting could implicate Adelson as a player in the plot.
However, her attorney, John Lauro said Rivera’s statement was based on information he had no way to corroborate.
“Rivera is hardly a credible witness, and as everyone in this investigation recognizes, he has no personal knowledge about the statements he made concerning Wendi,” Lauro said. “All of his alleged information is second or third hand and none of it has been corroborated during the investigation.”

One of the accused in the slaying of FSU professor Dan Markel in 2014 admitted on Monday that he was part of the "hit for hire" scheme surrounding the professor's death.
After Luis Rivera reached a plea agreement in court last week that sentenced him to 7 years in prison, he admitted to investigators on Monday that he was part of the operation to kill Markel.
In a newly released video, Rivera detailed the car ride between he and Sigfredo Garcia, the other man accused in Marke's murder.
He mentioned to investigators how during their first trip to Tallahassee, they drove by Wendi Adelson, Markel's ex-wife, while she was with her children.
Rivera told investigators that he noticed Garcia and Adelson making eye contact and said he began to wonder she was. That's when he said he began suspecting that Garcia was displaying to Adelson that they had arrived.
Rivera also admitted that he strongly believed Katherine Magbanua, a woman with ties both to the Adelson family and one of the alleged shooters in his death, had a hand in everything from the beginning.
He said he heard Garcia having several phone conversations with her throughout their trip.
Rivera also added that he did not know who Markel was before Garcia let him in on the plan.
Rivera's confession comes after a long, complex investigation into the law professor's murder.
Beginning with a messy divorce in 2013, Markel's wife Wendi Adelson was denied a request to move her children to South Florida. In July of 2014, Markel was shot multiple times and died from his injuries.[...]

ReplyDeleteExciting. Testimony evidence against a woman (Katherine Magbanua) behind the murder.

Mishnah. [A man] may compel all [his household] to go up [lit., cause to go up] [with him] to the Land of Israel., but none may be compelled to leave it. All [one's household] may be compelled to go up [lit., cause to go up] to Jerusalem [from any other Palestinian place], but none may be compelled to leave it. [this applies to] both men and women. [A wife also may compel her husband to live with her in Jerusalem or the Land of Israel and, if he refuses, she is entitled to demand a divorce and the payment of her kethubah.]
In my case, Mendel Epstein told Susan and me in Brooklyn, during a walk together, that I was right to make Aliya and that Suisan would be a rebellious wife if she failed to follow. The root of my messy divorce from Susan was her parents interfering and meddling and adamant insistence that Susan not make Aliya.
Trump is truly a dirty fighter - why are you supporting him if you don't approve of dirty fighters?
ReplyDeleteTrump threatens Hillary with jail. I took this as a tip for me in my messy divorce with Susan. I wrote yesterday to the judge and to the Clerk concerning my coming hearing 11/16/2016 11:00 when I will call from Israel:
ReplyDelete“Lies in sworn testimony could, Heaven forbid, lead to a jail sentence for Myla Serlin and for Susan. Clear violations of ERISA could, Heaven forbid, lead to penalties to TIAA.
I quote the Bible:
“Do not subject me to the will of my foes, for false witnesses and unjust accusers have appeared against me. Had I not the assurance that I would enjoy the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living…” (Psalms 27:12-13).
You obviously did not watch or listen to the first Presidential debate. Trump was trying to be a gentleman and it was Hillary who first threw the mud. So you expect him not to throw it back? Your irrational hatred of Trump is blinding you.
ReplyDeleteThe wicked women in divorce battles fight with knives and the men don’t. The wicked women hire Mendel Epstein et al and Shimen Liebowitz et al and Rivera and Garcia to beat and to murder. The wicked women in divorce battles push public shaming as in
ReplyDelete(internet 2012):
“Supporters of Tamar Epstein, whose ex-husband, Aharon Friedman, refuses to give her a religious divorce, have been pressuring Friedman's boss, U.S. Rep. Dave Camp, R-Michigan, to fire Friedman. They have protested in front of Camp's office, signed a petition at change.org, started a website (freetamar.org) and in February, bombarded Camp's official congressional Facebook page. But Susan Aranoff, director of Agunah International, which supports Jewish women seeking divorces, said social media has little effect because many husbands still are resistant after all the bullets have been fired."
Hillary Clinton and her supporters push public shaming. On divorce the rule should be: “A passerby who gets embroiled in someone else’s quarrel Is like one who seizes a dog by its ears” (Proverbs 26:17).
Donald Trump is responding to Hillary and supporters’ vicious attacks. I’m a PhD economist. I support Trump.
why are you getting involved in someone else's quarrel?
ReplyDeleteIf you are concerned about public shaming - you missed the elephant in the room. Trump's entire strategy is based on shaming Clinton. He is not responding he is initiating vicious attacks. Unless you are saying that publishing Trump's vile tapes constitutes an attack as well as any factual information about him?!
your irrational support of Trump is blinding you
ReplyDeleteTrump is trying to win an election. The media and Clinton supporters are fighting Trump hard. Let Trump speak as he sees fit.
ReplyDeleteOn divorce matters---how did Mendel Epstein et al get such wide support? I sense that Mendel Epstein supporters support the Kamenistky-Greenblatt Heter. How to explain the silence of allowing Tamar to be with her boyfriend when her husband, Aaron, is alive and well and refuses to divorce her. These people are silent because they’re interfering and meddling to help Tamar. Tamar is a divorce issue. Outsiders should not intervene. Trump versus Clinton is who could be the next president. Let’s all speak up. I support Trump 100%.
he is trying to win - but he keeps doing foolish things which prevent him from achieving that goal. Why would you want a fool as a president?
