That so-called body language 'expert' made a total fool of herself with her "Wendi is innocent - her palms were facing up", BS! That's ridiculous.
In fact Wendi's over the top sobbing looks horribly fake and rehearsed, and in the context of her soured relationship with the victim, her ex-husband (with whom she was fighting a vicious custody battle over their kids), it simply makes no sense.
That's how you'd respond to the murder of your much-loved, current husband, not your hated and despised ex!
Also that 'expert' suggests Wendi would know nothing about body language, to fake moves indicating innocence. But as a lawyer, I would suggest she likely knew about the various indicators for guilt and innocence, and in the run up to Dan's murder researched and practised the right body language for that very moment, when a cop told her of his death. Wendi knows the legal system, and that she was on video throughout that police interview.
It's perfectly obvious Wendi Adelson was putting on the performance of her life in that police interview room. But she is not the great actress her mother Donna told her she is. Far from it. Her wide eyed innocent act in court doesn't convince me either!
She's a narcissistic abuser so ruthlessly self-serving, she would not share her children with their father, and was fully on board with him being violently and permanently removed from their lives. And she was OK with her closest family members taking the rap for that crime, a murder which only benefited her. Wendi's a lousy human being and mother, who belongs in prison for the rest of her days.

Exactly right, great point. Not only was her fake crying very over the top, it simply didn't make sense she would react like that about an ex-husband she hated, and was fighting a vicious custody battle with! That's how distraught you'd be if your current, much-loved husband died - not your despised ex!
Her overly-dramatic sobbing is plainly all for show - she's an attorney, who understands the legal system and knew that video footage of her in the police interrogation room being told of Dan's shooting would be viewed and analysed endlessly for her reaction. I doubt she's any stranger to body language either, and she no doubt knew the moves/gestures that indicate 'innocence'. Ridiculous that so-called 'expert' believes she's not guilty, just because she threw her palms up!
As others have mentioned in the comments, Wendi knew Dan had custody of their two children that day. Surely an innocent woman with no clue about the murder plot would have been panic-stricken about her little boys' safety. The first thing out of her mouth to police would be; 'Are my kids OK?'
But curiously, Wendi never mentioned them. It's like she knew Dan had dropped the boys safe at school, and was shot later, when he arrived home, alone in his car...

That so-called body language expert just made a total fool of herself. Wendi Adelson's wide-eyed, bad acting in the police interrogation room and on the witness stand SCREAM Guilt. But hey, her palms were facing upwards, so she must be innocent?!! Gimme a break!
Wendi is a highly qualified attorney and law professor, why wouldn't she know the basics of body language - and especially the classic gestures indicating guilt or innocence? It's perfectly predictable she'd have researched it before the murder of her estranged husband, to ensure she presented well as a devastated, innocent ex-wife on the interrogation room video. It seems at least one body language expert was taken in by her performance!
Wendi was always the Adelson family's golden girl. Her indulgent parents and brother Charlie agreed to keep her out of the planning and arrangements for the hit on her ex-husband. They agreed keeping her in the dark would give her the best possible chance of escaping justice. A decade on, their efforts to protect her have worked, and she still walks free. Clearly as the mother of Dan Markel's two sons, and fighting a vicious custody battle over them, she stood to benefit from his murder more than anyone else! (She also gained financially from his death, receiving among other payments, substantial monthly death benefits to the children).
Make no mistake - Wendi was fully behind the assassination of her husband Dan, by her closest family members. It simply beggars belief she knew nothing about it - or did not explicitly approve the plot. They would not have gone through with the murder of her children's father, without Wendi's express agreement.
Circumstantial evidence of her guilt is compelling. She had a solid alibi - her Mom had sent a TV repair man to her home at the very time of the shooting (how convenient). Soon after, Wendi was witnessed driving near the crime scene to check it out. She let slip to a boyfriend that Charlie had offered to hire a hitman to 'solve the problem' of her ex-husband.
Within months of the murder, she had re-located with the children to Florida near her family, the move she'd been blocked from making by Dan. She also changed the boys' surname from Markel to Adelson - a devastating blow to Dan's grieving parents and extended family. She was obstructive about allowing the Markels access to their grandsons for visits, even at holiday times. Wendi's conduct after Dan's murder was at best troubling, at worst damning.
