## Resource

Wendi Adelson took the stand in the Dan Markel murder case more than once, and every time she did, she had a safety net: limited immunity. So could the very testimony meant to protect her become the thing that finally exposes her? We asked a defense attorney and former prosecutor to break it down. The Markel case is one of the most-watched murder-for-hire sagas in the country. An FSU law professor shot dead in his garage in 2014. A decade of investigation. Five convictions, including Wendi's brother Charlie and her mother Donna. And two people the state has named as co-conspirators — Wendi and her father Harvey — still uncharged. Our guest unpacks the mechanics most coverage glosses over. What limited immunity actually shields, and where it stops. Why proving that someone lied about what they knew — not what they did — is one of the hardest cases a prosecutor can bring. What a prosecutor's prolonged silence after a major conviction usually tells you about what's happening behind the scenes. And how an appeal now sitting before a Florida court could ripple outward and change the calculus for everyone still on the outside. If you've ever wondered how a person can be called a co-conspirator in open court and still never face a charge, this is the conversation that explains it — from someone who has worked both sides of the aisle.
