    Carl Steinbeck warned of this problem from the beginning by saying this was an unwaivable conflict. In NY where I practiced law for 43 years, prosecutors would have moved to disqualify immediately. Once Charlie Adelson was on the State's witness list, both the State and the Judge should have moved to disqualify Rashbaum.

    Typical Narcissist replacement. When Donna lost Charlie to prison "No sweat" she simply transferred her attachment to Dan Raushbaum her new surrogate son. All her tears at the table were due to her realizing she was losing the steady narcissistic supply which Dan had been providing for her. The guy who once said Donna reminded him of his mother. Bingo! His mom likely has NPD too.
    I suspect Dan grew up thinking his main goal in life was to please his miserable NPD Mommy and diminish his own needs. Poor Dan I hope someone helps him heal.

I love how evenly she responds to questions involving the application of the law to facts. So fair and impartial. This was awesome. Thank you.

    I was watching STS talking about this case, the evening that Donna was arrested at the airport.
    It was great seeing the press conference here as well.
    Campbell answered a question I'd wondered about. Which was, if Judge Everett had forbidden Donna from using Rashbaum, THAT could have turned into an appealable issue.
    Which I was glad to hear, because I'd seen some lawyers - appearing on TV shows - say that Everett was remiss to have let Donna have Rashbaum at all.
    I was glad to know that those lawyers were quite wrong. I guess that's why they were appearing on TV, rather than in a court room.

    There has been a lot of conversation around how this conflict waiver by Charlie got overlooked by so many people (i.e., DR, the judge, GC, and all of us who have been watching this case and trial). There has also been a lot of discussion about the enmeshment of the Adelson family. In my opinion, that’s precisely how the conflict waiver oversight occurred. Having watched this case for 10 years and observing the enmeshed Adelson family, we all now see them as one entity… Donna waived the conflict and we unconsciously presumed that was sufficient because we view Charlie and Donna as synonymous.

    I believe Rashbaum's was answering STS's question with Double Speak.
    AND, STS asked the "WRONG", albeit, Ambivalent Question!
    STS did NOT say, "DID Charlie SIGN a waiver?"
    STS INSTEAD said, "Soooooooooooooooooo, they all had to sign something ..."
    "So Harley, Donna, Charlie all had to sign something agreeing to allow you to be Donna's attorney solely ..."
    And instead of Dan saying, "Yes! AND WE DID IT the most prudent way ..."
    He said, "Correct, and they had to do so ... the most prudent way to do it is with an independent council advising them, so that I' not part of that decision making.
    Technically, Rashbaum did NOT say he has "the waivers in writing"

    So it sounds like the judge and the prosecution and basically everyone involved believed Dan Rashbaum had a signed waiver from Charlie (like he said he did back in the STS interview video), and I guess no one asked to see it in person to double-check him.
    But also, it seems like the way the law is written might need to be adjusted. If there are two defendants being charged in the same crime and therefore could be called to be a witness against one another, shouldn't there be something on the books that declares the same lawyer cannot represent them, because of the potential conflict of interest and because a signed waiver can be revoked at any time?
    Like, the law could say something to the effect of, yes, as a defendant you have the right to choose any lawyer want, except if it meets this criteria of potential conflict of interest...
    I've been asking, like everyone has been asking, who's to blame, and who could have done what to prevent this from ever happening.
    But it seems like the way the law is written allows for this potential problem and then everyone believed Dan had a signed waiver (Even though a signed waiver can be revoked later).

      You could also say that Charlie never knowingly waived the conflict. There's no proof he ever did waive anything because Rashbaum never got it in writing. And, if Dan says he was relying on Charlie's waiver from Dec or Jan, that was before a *real* independent atty was in the picture to explain it to him. At the outset, it was dumb for Rashbaum to even agree to rep Donna.

    Hello. Love your show. Can somebody address a question I posted many times and wasn't answered to my satisfaction. Did the judge have the power to say no to DR being Donna's lawyer since waiver signed or not for Charlie doesn't prevent what happened before the trial. Even if he had signed it, my understanding is that he could have changed his mind at any time before or during trial. So, why agree DR to be Donna's lawyer. Is there anything the judge could have done to refuse that to Donna or is it considered part of her legal rights to choose whoever she wants? Thank you.

    Everyone is criticizing Rashbaum, but it seems like he played the court, the prosecutors, and the media/podcasters like a fiddle. He held the trump card and could play it right before trial if things looked bleak for Donna. It appears almost certain that the Adelsons are moving as one, at least Charlie and Donna. What in the world is up with having a fundraiser for Justice for Dan Markel? His parents are multi-millionaires. You act like Donna's defense team should be acting in Dan Markel's, or the prosecution's best interest. Sure, what happened this week isn't great for those who spend their lives praying for guilty verdicts, but it was good for the defense. It buys them time. Strange things can happen. The more time she spends in jail the more time the prosecution might offer a plea. Donna may be guilty, but the only ones who are certainly guilty are Charlie and Wendi. Wendi's drive to the crime scene cannot be done by an innocent person (if you assume the prosecution's narrative is correct).
    Wendi actually had a one in a million defense where she could have said that she had no idea, but that Charlie spilled the beans shortly after the murder. Then she could say (as did Charlie) that she just couldn't help herself, and drove to the scene. But that falls apart when you see that it was likely she was trying to set up Jeffrey Lacasse as a suspect. She really believed that he would be heading out of town, at almost exactly the same time of the planned murder, and she even started telling people the day of the murder that she thought Jeffrey Lacasse might have done it (her drive to the scene makes it impossible that she believed Jeffrey did it....and if anyone is evil in this case it is Wendi...just for trying to frame Jeffrey Lacasse). Even in the interview with the detective, she was putting blame on Charlie and Jeffrey, which is just outrageous.
    Wendi probably outthought herself. It could be that there was never an open discussion with Charlie about the hit, but Wendi knew he was up to no good. Charlie might have said...I will take care of it (The Dan Markel problem) without being specific, and then Charlie asks Wendi what Dan's schedule is, and what it will be on the day of the hit. Wendi gets the Best Buy appointment, and has a sneaking suspicion that something big and bad is going down, and then she figured it out after talking to Charlie right after the murder. I think she actually thought she could insulate herself that way, and claim to have no idea.
    But again, any creative attempt by Wendi to claim she didn't know about the hit in advance has to fall apart when you combine the drive to the crime scene with all of the Jeffrey Lacasse facts/interactions. With those facts she is always guilty in the world we live in.
    Of course, as I have said time and time again, you have to prove that Donna/Wendi engaged in an overt act before the murder, where they believed that they were helping with the conspiracy. Wendi's facts after the murder make it almost mathematically impossible that she is innocent. But take a good look at Donna's facts. Yeah, the money drop doesn't look good. Using code word TV when discussing the bump doesn't look good. But she can thread the needle because she absolutely wasn't needed in advance for the hit to take place. She cannot simply want Dan Markel dead. She has to engage in an act before the murder where she knowingly is advancing the conspiracy. You have the Best Buy call, but is Donna really making that call if she knows a murder is planned for that day? She would be the only Adelson to intentionally put themselves into the crosshairs with a direct paper trail if so. Seems likely that Charlie would put her up to it if Donna wasn't in on it. For Donna to be guilty you have to believe that at a minimum Charlie and Donna agreed that to help with the crime it would be a good idea for Donna to make the Best Buy appointment. Donna can suspect that Charlie is up to no good, then she can quickly figure it out within a half hour of the murder. Then she simply goes along with what Charlie wants. She still likely gets convicted on the current facts, but at least she can make the case. There is a small path to innocence for Donna because she simply wasn't a key part of the plan. Charlie, Wendi, Katy, Sigfredo, and Luis. Those are the conspirators whose actions furthered the plan. Charlie needed Wendi to give him Dan's schedule. That has to be the case. If Charlie is guilty, then Wendi has to be guilty. Remove Katy, or Sigredo and Luis, and the conspiracy cannot happen. Remove Donna and the murder still takes place.

      @@Fergie66813 He likely doesn't care. He made tons of money and will never appear in a Tallahassee court again. He actually provided Charlie with the best defense he could have. I mean, with the evidence against Charlie, it was an impossible case. Almost all of the pundits claimed Charlie would never testify. Wrong on that. Zero commentators predicted the extortion defense, which in a way was the only defense he could give if he took the stand. Most all said that Katy would not testify against Charlie because she would be easy to be impeached. There hasn't been one insight from the podcast crowd that has ever been correct, and here you have an obvious issue where Rashbaum held a trump card, and now the pundits are saying after the fact that it was always an issue. Sure, they mentioned it before, but instead of having endless podcasts about things like....the top5 reasons Donna is guilty (never once taking the other side), people should have hammered home the point about Rashbaum representing both Donna and Charlie, and more importantly, mentioned that Rashbaum could play this trump card right before trial if things weren't going well. Not a single person ever thought it through.

      Someone had to know and give the thugs Dan’s picture and his schedule. Truly, pics can be brought up online, but not his personal schedule in that he would be at the gym at that time, then pulling into his driveway where they could gun him down, no children in the car etc..
