Wendy Adelson’s “I Don’t Remember” Strategy: Trauma or Cover-Up?

Wendy Adelson’s “I Don’t Remember” Strategy: Trauma or Cover-Up?



While Robert Adelson took the stand with blunt force, Wendy Adelson chose a very different strategy — and it has the courtroom buzzing. Over and over again, her answers leaned on selective memory: “I don’t remember.”



But what does that really mean? Is Wendy’s forgetfulness a trauma response after years of stress, manipulation, and family chaos? Or is it a carefully measured way to protect herself — and maybe her mother — from saying too much?



Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dissects Wendy’s testimony in real time, explaining how children of narcissistic parents often struggle to break free. Why does one sibling tell the full truth while another stays entangled in loyalty? And how does a jury read hesitation when the stakes are life and death?



Wendy’s testimony could either make her look like a daughter torn apart by family control — or a woman hiding behind a wall of “I don’t remembers.” The question now: what will the jury believe?
