Join Judy the YouTube Lawyer and attorney Cyril Yu in a discussion about the Dan Markel case. Markel was a tenured law professor at Florida State University, teaching criminal law, when he was shot by Sigfredo Garcia on 7/18/2014. Markel was recently divorced from Wendi Adelson, and they had joint custody of their two sons. Wendi had tried to move away from Tallahassee with their children, but the court denied her motion to relocate. Charlie Adelson, Markel's former brother-in-law, is currently in jail with his trial beginning in late October for his role in the murder for hire. Charlie's ex-girlfriend Katherine Magbanua (who has 2 children with Garcia) was convicted and sentenced to life in prison last year for helping to orchestrate Markel's murder. She has made proffers and may be testifying against Charlie Adelson at his trial. Wendi and her mother Donna Adelson have been named by the State as co-conspirators in Markel's murder but have not been charged with any crimes so far.
