The last morning of Florida State University law professor Dan Markel’s life was a Friday.

He dropped off his two sons at school and then had a quick workout before heading back to his Tallahassee, Fla., home.

But while still in his car in the garage, Markel was shot twice in the head and left for dead. He died in a hospital about 15 hours later.

About a year before his death, Markel had finalized a divorce from Wendi Adelson, also an FSU law professor at the time. But the two remained locked in a bitter legal battle involving their property and their children.

Tallahassee police investigators immediately attempted to piece together what happened on the day of his murder. They quickly determined it was not a random act of violence and set out to find out who killed him and why.

Rivera and Garcia were indicted in June 2016 and are facing the death penalty, if convicted. Both have entered not guilty pleas. They are scheduled for separate trials later this year.

Court documents made public in June linked Garcia, one of the alleged hit men, to Wendi Adelson’s brother Charlie Adelson: his former girlfriend was also the mother of Garcia’s children.

The arrest affidavit for Rivera and Garcia alleges that Charlie Adelson “reportedly did not like Markel and did not get along with him.”

In a probable cause affidavit, police allege that Garcia and Rivera were “enlisted to commit this egregious act” and that police believe the motive for the killing “stemmed from the desperate desire of the Adelson family to relocate Wendi and the children to South Florida, along with the pending court hearing that might have impacted their access to the grandchildren.”

Prior to the 2013 divorce settlement, Markel had successfully fought Wendi Adelson's attempt to move with their two young sons to south Florida for a new job and to be closer to her family.

But prosecutors have thus far declined to charge anyone in the Adelson family in the murder of Dan Markel, and state prosecutor Georgia Cappleman said there's not enough evidence to do so. The investigation is on-going.

Lawyers for the Adelsons, in a joint statement issued earlier this month, stated that “none of the Adelsons – Wendi, her brother, Charlie, or their parents Donna and Harvey – had anything to do with Dan’s murder.”

"[Investigators] have spent the past two years reviewing every shred of evidence out there -- every phone record, financial record, text message, email, internet search, everything,” the statement says. “We understand why the government has put the Adelson family through this type of severe scrutiny. But nothing has turned up that supports this fanciful fiction that the Adelsons were involved.”

Mmmmmmm, pie!
Since he had the kids instead of her, and since he was a lawyer, my guess is he was a narcissistic egomaniac (but I repeat myself...) who put her through a living hell when they were married, then put her through a living hell when she'd finally had enough of his sorry ass, and she'd had all the abuse he dished out that she could take, and she snapped.

She probably deserves a medal.
