Could be they're counting on the shooter to roll over to provide solid evidence against the client.I don't know the general order for how these things usually go but if it was a murder for hire and they have the evidence to arrest the shooter, wouldn't they also for the person who made the hire?
It will be interesting to hear the details when they're released. Motive? Killing for hire?
Not much about how they identified this guy. Wonder if it was just a b&e gone bad.
Yes! what would the motive be for this guy to kill Markel? No info yet and we need those details on how they made this connection.It will be interesting to hear the details when they're released. Motive? Killing for hire?

Wow...It's really not to too hard to see where this is going...contentious divorce...ex-wife and family all from South Florida where she wanted to take the kids against his wishes...hitman is arrested two years later "coincidentally" in South Florida...hitman will roll over pretty quickly...expect arrests of ex-wife and father in law pretty soon
Apparently Markel did some anti-mob cases in the past so there was plenty of speculation it might have been a hit based on that.
Wow. I will say the potential number of forthcoming arrests point to it still being possibly a mob hit. But, this guy seems like maybe not the type of guy an organized crime family would seek out.
It will be amazing if it was numerous family members and not just either the Wife or Dad. If so, maybe it is really all of the above and her family itself has mob ties? As posted above, it will be tragic for his kids if this is the case.

Nah, he was a clerk in the 9th Circuit, and then a white collar criminal defense attorney (a long time ago). Not a prosecutor, or anybody who would be a target of organized crime.
No, he was prominently involved in a Russian Mafia case that ticked some people off. It was due to an Orthodox Jew kidnapping scam being run by various rabbis. When you hear "Russian Mob" what you don't really is that a very hefty percentage of them are Russian, Ukrainian and Isreali Jews with the largest "known" kingpin being an Isreali Jew. The Russian mob is a very loose organization of mainly religious outcasts (Jews and Orthodox Christians mainly) who used the blackmarket to make money and "fight" an atheistic communist regime. Once the wall fell those organisations didn't stop but continued on quite prominently.
And where is the biggest collection of Russian/"Jewish" Mafia located? South Florida. They practically run the illicit medical community down there and that's why it used to be true (and probably still is) that literally one quarter of the various insurance and Medicare/Medicaid fraud for the entirety of the United States was generated in three counties in South Florida.
Miami and the area is literally filled with Russian/"Jewish" mob dudes and enterprises. It literally reached a point when I was prosecuting doctors for the Florida DOH that you didn't even need to open the file, I knew if I got a doctor with a Russian or Jewish sounding name from south Florida that it was practically guaranteed to be HIV-IG or some other fraud. Why do you think the pill mills popped up in Florida so quickly? When the market started growing in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky etc for opiates and the local governments moved in to slow down distribution, the giant medical fraud ring in South Florida basically opened their doors and said "come on in" and the "Oxycodone Express" was created in basically no time thanks mainly to the greater Miami area Russian/"Jewish" mob.
Now could his inlaws have done it? Absolutely. I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't loosely connected to the mob in that area it is so prevalent. But it could be because of this as well.

Killing high profile, well connected legal figures is suicide for organized crime. It's terrible for business. The US Attorney and judiciary here ran roughshod over white supremacist groups even remotely tied to Matthew Hale after Judge Lefkow's family was killed.
Tribe, you're reaching there...
I seriously doubt that the South Florida Russian mob would give a rat's behind about the applied OCD practices of Hasidic Jews in the NYC metro area....you'd have a better case blaming Whitey Bulger for ordering the hit....
And I thought the Jewish Mafia in South Florida died with Meyer Lansky in 1983....
As someone who's worked in law enforcement for over 20 years. I'll just say that in my experience it is not usually these fantastic, "TV show" related theories that apply to crimes. It usually is the simplest of human connections and motivations.

Also, nice hairlip.
As I understand it, Markel wasn't a key figure in the rabbi case, just a consultant. I doubt the defendants even knew who he was, let alone put out a hit on him.
It is always the (ex)WIFE and /or someone from South Florida
