Thank you for continuing to report on this story. If I remember correctly, your initial assessment was that Wendi Adelson had nothing to do with planning or carrying out her husband's murder. I'm curious whether you've changed your mind and, if so, how.

This is really unbelievable - the stuff of movies. (He was my pre-law tutor at Lowell House.)

This is one of the more sordid murder stories out there. I went to law school with someone who actually knew Professor Markel, so I developed an interest in the story and am just heartbroken for his kids, who lost their father, his parents, who lost their son and (thanks to Wendi Adelson, who just looks more and more odious with each new revelation, even if she didn't participate in the murder conspiracy) grandchildren, and of course, Professor Markel himself, who didn't deserve to die in this horrific fashion.

It is all so incredibly sad.
