"Loose lips sink ships"...I think, while listening to (mostly) Charlie Adelson on wiretaps introduced through witness, Pat Sanford (the FBI agent who personally arrested #DonnaAdelson . He just can't shut up.
What a mug!! #wendiadelson looks thrilled to be in court this morning. Judge Everett warned #DonnaAdelson to keep it together and not show her big emotions in front of the jury.
The contents of the "Grandma Motion" (where Markel asked for no unsupervised kid visits with Donna) were not allowed into evidence at this time. The state can try to lay the foundation for its admission with another witness.
Just in case you were wondering.....yes, Georgia Cappelman leads her witnesses an incredible amount of time. Defense is not objecting....probably to save time. The incriminating information is coming in one way or another
UPDATE: #WendiAdelson is ready to testify in her mother's murder trial, according to #CourtTV's @JuliaCourtTV, who is in the courthouse!
#CourtTV What do YOU think?

How tragic...#wendiadelson has to spend the weekend in Hiawassee Springs (aka Tallahassee) alllllll weekend long. I see what you did there, Ms. Cappelman and I 👏 you. Lets see if we can get some WA sightings this weekend
Judge Everett is angry that defense is wasting jurors time with objections to evidence when it should have been done in pre-trial motions. Ex. #DonnaAdelson objects to a 2016 email where Donna doesn't believe that Markel's sons are sad about his death.😮
J: We won't be wasting any more time on this. This is what we have pre-trial motions for. It is admitted on limited grounds.
Defense, what limited instruction do you want?
D: I'm not sure... I would ask that it be limited to the deceased's family not towards the deceased.
Defense objections to exhibits: 2011 emails btwn #DonnaAdelson and Wendi re: consistent animus towards Markel. Emails will be allowed to show the longstanding negative feelings of Adelson to "all things Markel (incl his parents)"
#DonnaAdelson was admonished by Judge Everett not to display any emotional responses during the testimony or showing of evidence. So no performative head nods, crying or other emotional outbursts will be tolerated by the court.
#DonnaAdelson desperately trying to avoid looking at Dan Markel's autopsy photos during medical examiner's testimony. She's in the middle of the "performance of her life"....
