It’s time that Wendy and Donna are charged with the murder. No reason they should be getting a pass on this. There is more than enough circumstantial evidence to convict both of them

@@iveliserojas612 I like to have hope. I know the boys have been heavily influenced by the Adelson's. But they going to find themselves with someday with their mother, grandmother and uncle all in prison convicted of the murder of their father. They are intelligent. They will start questioning when the house of cards they have been living in has completely fallen apart. Who knows? I think they have already and Wendi is getting questioned daily about the events surrounding their father. I certainly Hope the Markel's will be healthy and live a long life enjoying Dan's boys.
Especially when they eventually learn the horrid and devastating truth about their spoiled rotten mother and her evil brother and parents for having their dad murdered.🤬
She had some nerve stole all he’s money in he’s bank account he’s family jewelry that uncle gave him and she wanted him to pay for everything and guess what she got everything after death like hello
When will the rest of the Adelsons are in jail? Horrible family! To Dan Markel family, I am sorry. You all lost a lot and continue to lose. I hope God will help you get a relationship with your grandchildren in this life!
@@lynncollier9368 Oh, I'm sure with the ex boyfriend's Testimony, that they will be indicting the Charlie, Wendy, and possibly the Mother. This NEVER would've happened without discussions from them. These 3 didn't even know the guy killed, without their connections (specifically Charlie's). Then there's Wendy's ex boyfriend's testimony, and THAT was strong.
How do you face your daughter's in-laws after having their son murdered in cold blood? The emotions would be too high. But, the children have a right to know their paternal grandparents.
Yeah I hope she doesn't get her family to put a hit on his mother and father because in her sick mind she may see them as a threat. She doesn't face them, she doesn't even let the kids see them. She lied as to why she wont let them see the kids. She should not have custody of the boys, this is beyond parental alienation. Wonder if they paid off the judge who gave her custody.
If the Adelson’s are ever unfortunate enough to be put on trial, it would be extremely difficult for a jury to consider an alternative theory for why two Latin Kings from Miami would drive all the way to Tallahassee (five hour drive) to kill a law professor who just happens to be the ex-husband of the sister of the ex-boyfriend of the shooter’s baby mama??? It’s almost TOO circumstantial NOT to lead to a conviction 🤣
The Adeleson family seems to be largely sociopathic and narcissistic. I pray that they face justice one day. This prosecutor is incredibly ineffective at giving a closing argument.
Totally concur you are spot on the "delivery" style of the prosecuting lawyer makes it very difficult at times to follow the storyline of this murder case, perhaps because she knows the case back to front however we do not.
Sorry but the trial is not for entertainment of UA-cam viewers 🍿🤩🤓😏 🍿 When there are this many bad actors, and other bit players coupled with all the other twist and turns of so many evil agendas... I think she is doing a great job for the jurors - they matter!
@@harpoon_bakery162Charlie just got life in prison. Donna is in prison and will be going to trial later this year and very likely will be found guilty and spend the rest of her life in prison. I’m sure they’re saving Wendi for last

I think the attorneys are being payed for because she is the missing link. If she ever decides to roll this family will be prosecuted for their roll in this. There is no statute of limitation for murder. I’m so intrigued by this!
This prosecutor broke down this conspiracy like a surgeon performing a heart transplant. I don't know how the hell Katie ended up with a hung jury. I swore they were both going to be found guilty on all counts. Her next trial is going to be extremely exciting. I can't wait for it.
Im new to this case, but how is the ex wife and her family not on trial for this? How would these people know who the family is, and have all those details, if her family didn't hire them for this murder? Why would they make that drive to randomly murder this random man? Even her bf at the time, said that she told him her brother offered to hire a hitman and she was considering it.....only 5 days before the murder. Im so confused.
This is what angers me when they kill the spouse she was already in a relationship a month later opening her mouth about how she was treated ladies & gentlemen grow up it's no ones buisness she should be held for his murder also it takes two to tangle this family is evil they don't deserve these kids
Prosecutor was less than effective. Jury would just lose interest hearing such a monotone voice. Think a chart showing all the facts line by line would of been more effective.
I agree I've watched a couple of other prosecutors closing arguments and they were much more evocative and seem to be either these guys are very good actors or it comes across that they fervently care about the outcome of the case
“Maybe you think I’m eager to do this again in the near future” ... “Anyone else is for another day or another jury” I’d be nervous as hell if I were the Adelson family
I cannot believe this lawyer. No wonder Katherine had a mistrial. Why is she reading her argument? Is this her first case? OMG poor Dan must be rolling in his grave. Will someone do this man justice?
I think Georgia Cappelman is a wonderful prosecutor, and is very thorough and methodical as she seeks justice for those who can't speak for themselves.
She in 2024 had 4 people in prison. 3 are doing life without parole. The 5th person is on trial the children's grandma. I believe she is doing well. Slow but sure. Wendi the chief beneficiary will eventually get her day in court
Such a tragedy that my alma mater has been deprived of a law professor. Using children as weapons are not only cruel and selfish, it also causes damages to their mental health. After all, children are not properties; they are human beings with feelings.
I suppose the State has their reasons... they saw the opportunity to bring down a whole gang 1st so I guess that got priority... and perhaps they think they can pressure Garcia and Magbanua to give up info. to put the nail in the coffin (they already got Rivera to sing). Right now, the evidence against the Adelsons isn't a slam dunk. So, they really need the convictions of all the others 1st - 2 down, one more to go. And tbh, it's pretty brilliant that they impugned the entire Adelson family with no one there to object for them. Both the defense and State implicated the Adelsons in some way so they were on trial without being on trial and all of that testimony can be used against them at a later date.
@@daliwood12 Do you think Charlie is the main catalyst, or Wendi? Great comment by the way, helped me understand the case better because I was getting confused as to why the hitman is the only guilty person here?!
@@Brooke52528 Hey! Sorry I missed your comment. I think the whole family is dysfunctional. Wendi has some sort of major personality disorder that the boyfriend alludes to in his testimony but it is definitely is fueled by her parents (namely her Mom who is just relentless in her e-mails) and Charlie, who I think was doing alot of drugs and living a lifestyle "on the edge". All of that combined was a disaster waiting to happen when a very, very smart man (Dan) was outwitting a family who thrives on power and control. I think Wendi knew full well what Charlie planned to carry out and I think she was desperate and vindinctive enough, not to mention feeling so much pressure from her Mom, to let it happen with no remorse. I think the Adelson Dad is probably on the outskirts being led around by the domineering wife. Not sure he knew the extent of what was happening. The State is clearly implicating Wendi, Charlie and their Mom.
Precisely! if we were to look at her based solely on her behavior in the calls, that she had no knowledge of anything. She is not some young gulible quite woman....Listen to her speech..
Would love to coach this attorney on speech strategies. She seems clueless of the importance of emotional tone, pauses, word emphasis and repetition for optimal impact.
The sad thing is they will grow up- and they will hate their mom’s family over this. Taking their father- changing their names- etc. kids grow up with questions and a need to know where/who they come from. Watch in another 10 years they will speak themselves. It’s horrible and I pray they are equipped to deal with the mental issues they will eventually be faced with.
No matter how many times I hear those absolutely hideous e-mails from Donna Adelson, I am always shocked at how evil and wicked this woman is. Get Wendi behind bars as well. How long is this mess going to be dragged out? Ten years is a terribly long time… justice for Dan Markel NOW.
I believe in order for Georgia Cappelman to have a successful outcome for the prosecution in the retrial of this case (Oct 2021), she will really have to pull together her closing argument since it is the very last thing the jury will hear before deliberations . An excellent example of how a prosecutor edited the closing argument for the retrial, is the Heather Elvis case with the trial and retrial of Sidney Moorer by prosecutor Nancy Livesay. The original trial closing was 1 hour and 15 minutes and the judge asked Nancy to ‘wrap it up’ as she was becoming too repetitive. By the time of the retrial, she’d edited her closing to 40 minutes and with a passionate and powerful delivery, she left no doubt in the jurors minds that Sidney was indeed guilty. I believe in order to convince a jury of Katherine’s guilt, Georgia will need to to show a little more passion. The facts are there - she just a little bit of work on some passion in the delivery of these facts. She tends to be a little dry! 😉
Did I miss something or did they not put Charlie Adelson or the mother on the stand? Or even bring them in for an informal interview? If I'm wrong, please correct me.
The defence can choose silence. Informal interview? Nope. Once the cops asked her difficult questions it was time to lawyer up. There's a tape of her crocodile tears during her being told of his death, but the moment she was asked anything substantive, she lawyered up. This is her legal right, no matter how obvious the guilt may seem, it is up to the state to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt (reasonable...not a shadow of a doubt). The comments here show many people have never sat through a trial... her points are good, she just needs to learn a little about how to speak with some dynamics and use pauses for effect. basic public speaking/debating 101.
Just like my ex wife, took everything from me and I am and always have been a great father! Love my boys just as much as she did! But I got screwed and couldn’t do anything about it! Sucks!
Gayle Dimitri yes and no! I mean of course being alive is number 1. Being alive and having to deal with this is torture, depression, anger, defeated, so much more. There are times if rather not be alive. It’s that bad and hard on me. I don’t want to jeopardize my children and our relationship either
@@zerofuckkksgiven8027, don't do evil for evil. Pray for forgiveness, let justice be in the hands of God. His ways will surprise you. Let go and let God be God in your life.
@@zerofuckkksgiven8027 happened to my son as well. It's the worst! Nothing worse. We've been grieving the loss of our grandson for 14 years. I know oneday he will want to know his paternal side of his family. Hopefully he will have a few memories. I've kept every single thing of his. I understand.
This is literally the WORST closing argument I've ever seen!! This is such an emotional and dramatic case. Epic FAIL on behalf of the prosecutor. You'd think she would know how to work a damn PowerPoint!!
I came to comments to say the same. Prosecutor’s closing was annoying as hell. No emotion, jumbled, and hard to follow. She’s helping them get away with this
Unfortunately, it's pretty obvious. He couldn't compete - dead or not - against this family. Even with a supreme education/credentials/etc. And... being a supposedly good father.
What a terrible presentation for a closing argument...almost falling asleep. Terrible speaker (esp. given that that's a big part of her job). Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, both Magbanua and the whole Adelsons family should be arrested and thrown in jail. What a terrible bunch 🤢🤮🤮🤮
Throw the prosecutor away too ... Ughhh .... This man's family will never see full justice ... But that family will get their's one day .... Its a special place in Hell for them ALL!!!
Meme H , That contention is problematic because all of those involved are a segment of the chosen people,with God loving them more than everybody else.
Ms. Georgia your awesome youre telling it like it is. Wendi was obeying Donna moms orders to get Dan out of the way so Wendi planned this day perfect, or so she thought. Listen to how Ms. Georgia lays it out perfectly. Sorry Wendi & Donna your wishes couldnt be granted.
I want to see the Adelsons go down....sick of seeing rich people get away with shit just because they have money..it's another OJ story..chess match, won by the rich..shouldn't be allowed to have a legal team.. rediculous!!! Should be a cap on how much one can spend on lawyers
I kept wondering why this whole family wasn't brought to justice. Now I see why. This prosecutor's blabbering is unbelievable. She put the jury to sleep.
This is what's wrong with society. Charlie making 3 million dollars a year as a dentist. I can't afford to get my kids braces. Someone in his position should be making 300 thousand a year not 3 million. That's just my opinion.
How sad this kids goin to be when they found there mother and her family got a hitman to murder there father ,if i was them i will never speak to her mother family and there mother,i will run to Dan family.and hug them
Forgive me but she sucks as a prosecutor. She keeps stopping. Shes all over the place and not going in the timed sequence of events in the order that they took place. Shes jumping from 2014 then back to 2013 etc. She's just not a good prosecutor in my opinion considering I watch these types of trials all the time. I watch some incredible prosecutors hammer home their point and explain the sequence of events to a jury and when, why, how, and where the crime took place and its cohesive. I dont knw what shes doing. Its not good
RIP judge Hankinson - I read somewhere that you were touched by this case and would’ve liked to have seen it through to the end . I hope you are guiding from above ❤
Dana Sutton absolutely! Might be a good close but monotone and spoken with no passion.i had to fast forward most of it. Lucky I wasn’t a jury member who couldn’t do that!
Prosecutor needs some of that good Miami cocaine.😶😬🤯 Worst mono-tone, dragged out, blah blah blah closing arguments EVER!!🥱🥱 Its a damn shame this family got away with murder!!🤬-Way to go Fla.!👏-As if Casey Anthony wasnt a big enough screw up!!😤
If the district attorney wants to win this case the second time around she has to be more expressive don't just stand there reading from your notes go high and low with the pitch of your voice be memorable don't make people want to fall asleep you notice the way Catherine attorney the female the way she talks to the jury she keeps the jury engaged try to stay away from big words these are regular people that's all you're missing move around don't stay just in one spot keep the curry following you keep them engaged look at them when you talk to them I suggest you look at some good lawyer movies like Al Pacino I'm not trying to be funny but I think you know what I mean
Prosecution should have gone at the in laws, and family like a freight train!....instead they went at this like a reading of a child's story book reading at the children's day care center! (And worse!)
Danielle Jean well, unless the investigators are VERY stupid,...I'm ASSUMING, that this is still an ongoing investigation , and still an open case!!....only the truth stands the test of time!...TICK TOCK!...( have a great evening my friend!)✌🏻️❤️ To ya, and all!
The closing by the prosecutor is awful. Her eyes are down, she's not looking at the jurors. She's reading! She shuda had a can or two of Red Bull first.
Money talks and criminals walk. This rich family had the smarts, know how and most of all money to take care of what they considered their problem. This. Man was killed by killers who were directed by this rich family.
Wendi is guilty also. She went along with her brothers idea to wipe the husband off the face of the planet and freeing up Wendi to be able to move to South Florida. Her family except her father are all guilty.
What a shame to use the children as weapons, the dvorcio is between two who marry, the children have nothing to do, there is no divorce between children. karma will reach all ancestors. do not make the children suffer, they did not ask to come to this cruel world.
The person who payed the hit man is the one with the greatest guilt. All the rest follows from this single source. This case has not been solved, by no means.
This assistant DA needs a new career that doesn’t require presentation or public speaking. A factually complex case should be prosecuted by a charismatic and prepared prosecutor.......and someone please teach her the importance of voice inflection. It’s like she chose monotone and doubled down.
It’s time that Wendy and Donna are charged with the murder. No reason they should be getting a pass on this. There is more than enough circumstantial evidence to convict both of them

@@La_Ru-yg8es Unfortunately, her conviction isn’t a guarantee either. Things don’t usually get better for the state after a hung jury.

The craziest part of this closing? It’s all about the Adleson’s. Who walks the streets free.
We wanted to know how much money they paid to escape the law.

And they have. The Adelsons have the boys the markets cannot see them
@@Kakwasi Neither can Donna
No matter how many times I hear those absolutely hideous e-mails from Donna Adelson, I am always shocked at how evil and wicked this woman is. Get Wendi behind bars as well. How long is this mess going to be dragged out? Ten years is a terribly long time… justice for Dan Markel NOW.
Good Lord.....The closing by the state is painful to watch.....! All the disruption in trying to pull up content to read! Ouchhhhh
I wonder why Katherine Magbanua has two attorneys. Who is paying for that, the state?
Charlie Adelson probably!
I believe in order for Georgia Cappelman to have a successful outcome for the prosecution in the retrial of this case (Oct 2021), she will really have to pull together her closing argument since it is the very last thing the jury will hear before deliberations
.
An excellent example of how a prosecutor edited the closing argument for the retrial, is the Heather Elvis case with the trial and retrial of Sidney Moorer by prosecutor Nancy Livesay. The original trial closing was 1 hour and 15 minutes and the judge asked Nancy to ‘wrap it up’ as she was becoming too repetitive.
By the time of the retrial, she’d edited her closing to 40 minutes and with a passionate and powerful delivery, she left no doubt in the jurors minds that Sidney was indeed guilty.
I believe in order to convince a jury of Katherine’s guilt, Georgia will need to to show a little more passion. The facts are there - she just a little bit of work on some passion in the delivery of these facts. She tends to be a little dry! 😉
The jury are effectively just watching her read.
She’s so dry. It’s actually painful listening to her lackluster delivery.
It's 2023 and I believe she took your good advice in the retrial and Katie was convicted. Can't wait to see her close on Charlie tomorrow. ⚖️
Did I miss something or did they not put Charlie Adelson or the mother on the stand? Or even bring them in for an informal interview? If I'm wrong, please correct me.
They did not.
The defence can choose silence. Informal interview? Nope. Once the cops asked her difficult questions it was time to lawyer up. There's a tape of her crocodile tears during her being told of his death, but the moment she was asked anything substantive, she lawyered up. This is her legal right, no matter how obvious the guilt may seem, it is up to the state to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt (reasonable...not a shadow of a doubt). The comments here show many people have never sat through a trial... her points are good, she just needs to learn a little about how to speak with some dynamics and use pauses for effect. basic public speaking/debating 101.
The prosecutor did a top notch job, she did her best, but was just outplayed, pure and simple. Garcia was a slam dunk.
Just like my ex wife, took everything from me and I am and always have been a great father! Love my boys just as much as she did! But I got screwed and couldn’t do anything about it! Sucks!
Babalou 212 well be happy you are still alive! Unlike this poor dude.
Gayle Dimitri yes and no! I mean of course being alive is number 1. Being alive and having to deal with this is torture, depression, anger, defeated, so much more. There are times if rather not be alive. It’s that bad and hard on me. I don’t want to jeopardize my children and our relationship either
@@zerofuckkksgiven8027, don't do evil for evil. Pray for forgiveness, let justice be in the hands of God. His ways will surprise you. Let go and let God be God in your life.
Yeah, this case is all about you...probably a clue why they left.
@@zerofuckkksgiven8027 happened to my son as well.
It's the worst!
Nothing worse.
We've been grieving the loss of our grandson for 14 years.
I know oneday he will want to know his paternal side of his family.
Hopefully he will have a few memories.
I've kept every single thing of his.
I understand.
This is literally the WORST closing argument I've ever seen!! This is such an emotional and dramatic case. Epic FAIL on behalf of the prosecutor. You'd think she would know how to work a damn PowerPoint!!
Right? It was like watching a child in a play - reading from a script and attempting to ‘add feeling’ to the words. Shockingly bad.
I came to comments to say the same. Prosecutor’s closing was annoying as hell. No emotion, jumbled, and hard to follow. She’s helping them get away with this
Speak for yourself, but I found it very coherent and effective.
@@gigie555 believe it
Extremely monotone and unemotional....like she's just at work....not fighting for justice.....
How can the Adelsons not be convicted??
Unfortunately, it's pretty obvious. He couldn't compete - dead or not - against this family. Even with a supreme education/credentials/etc. And... being a supposedly good father.
What a terrible presentation for a closing argument...almost falling asleep.
Terrible speaker (esp. given that that's a big part of her job).
Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, both Magbanua and the whole Adelsons family
should be arrested and thrown in jail. What a terrible bunch 🤢🤮🤮🤮
Totally agree with both your points
The Adelson family reminds me of the family from the movie get out 😂
ha ha , nice,,,,,,,,,
I can’t wait for the day we get to hear Wendi’s responses to these emails from Donna!
Sorry but that is a pretty lame, lazy closing argument. With a bit more fire they would have gotten Magbanua.
There is none!
Why have they not arrested the whole family
This state attorney could not win a case..boring speeches..don't even when to emphasize certain salient points..
No Georgia not just Leon Co and Tallahassee suffered a blow. Canada did. We are watching intently
Throw the prosecutor away too ... Ughhh .... This man's family will never see full justice ... But that family will get their's one day .... Its a special place in Hell for them ALL!!!
Meme H , That contention is problematic because all of those involved are a segment of the chosen people,with God loving them more than everybody else.
I blame Wendi.
Ms. Georgia your awesome youre telling it like it is. Wendi was obeying Donna moms orders to get Dan out of the way so Wendi planned this day perfect, or so she thought. Listen to how Ms. Georgia lays it out perfectly. Sorry Wendi & Donna your wishes couldnt be granted.
I want to see the Adelsons go down....sick of seeing rich people get away with shit just because they have money..it's another OJ story..chess match, won by the rich..shouldn't be allowed to have a legal team.. rediculous!!! Should be a cap on how much one can spend on lawyers
I kept wondering why this whole family wasn't brought to justice. Now I see why. This prosecutor's blabbering is unbelievable. She put the jury to sleep.
This prosecutor needs to go! Poor delivery, stumbling over her own words. Yada yada yada.
worst closing arguments by any prosecutor or defense attorney. She is completely unprepared. Acts like she's reading it for the first time.
I absolutely love the State's legal representative! I like the way she organised her closing argument .
This is what's wrong with society. Charlie making 3 million dollars a year as a dentist. I can't afford to get my kids braces. Someone in his position should be making 300 thousand a year not 3 million. That's just my opinion.
How sad this kids goin to be when they found there mother and her family got a hitman to murder there father ,if i was them i will never speak to her mother family and there mother,i will run to Dan family.and hug them
I agree with you Dan children should be with his mom and dad
Give it time. They will grow up and run out the door
It may take time but they will all pay for their Sins .
Forgive me but she sucks as a prosecutor. She keeps stopping. Shes all over the place and not going in the timed sequence of events in the order that they took place. Shes jumping from 2014 then back to 2013 etc. She's just not a good prosecutor in my opinion considering I watch these types of trials all the time. I watch some incredible prosecutors hammer home their point and explain the sequence of events to a jury and when, why, how, and where the crime took place and its cohesive. I dont knw what shes doing. Its not good
RIP judge Hankinson - I read somewhere that you were touched by this case and would’ve liked to have seen it through to the end . I hope you are guiding from above ❤
Outstanding Prosecutor. Like Mother like Daughter. Scary family.
You're on drugs if you believe that. The prosecutor was either on PCP or paid off
Wow, "His own family" How tragic this is. Danny wouldn't have hurt a flea, not sure why this happened.
insanity, Cappliman is so good Ive watched a couple if these closings more than once.
A mono tone speech is hard to listen to.
Dana Sutton absolutely! Might be a good close but monotone and spoken with no passion.i had to fast forward most of it. Lucky I wasn’t a jury member who couldn’t do that!
did the wife have the husband killed and try to frame the boyfriend?
Yes
@@carolv8450 ta
Under the bus
Our justice system is so broken and corrupt. To give Wendi complete immunity is absolutely SICKENING.
It is only immunity on her testimony nothing else. Nothing she said at trial can be used against her in any further trial
There is always a few jurors that want there 15 minutes of fame there was enough evidence to convict Katie
She's convicted now .
I don’t understand this trial. The attorneys aren’t good. This is a terrible closing. Sad.
This is the prosecuting team?????. I thought that she was just practicing her closing statement...
Prosecutor needs some of that good Miami cocaine.😶😬🤯 Worst mono-tone, dragged out, blah blah blah closing arguments EVER!!🥱🥱
Its a damn shame this family got away with murder!!🤬-Way to go Fla.!👏-As if Casey Anthony wasnt a big enough screw up!!😤
If the district attorney wants to win this case the second time around she has to be more expressive don't just stand there reading from your notes go high and low with the pitch of your voice be memorable don't make people want to fall asleep you notice the way Catherine attorney the female the way she talks to the jury she keeps the jury engaged try to stay away from big words these are regular people that's all you're missing move around don't stay just in one spot keep the curry following you keep them engaged look at them when you talk to them I suggest you look at some good lawyer movies like Al Pacino I'm not trying to be funny but I think you know what I mean
Prosecution should have gone at the in laws, and family like a freight train!....instead they went at this like a reading of a child's story book reading at the children's day care center! (And worse!)
This isn't their trial.
Danielle Jean that IS EXACTLY my point!....NOT BEING PROSECUTED!...and where behind the entire plot!
@@JohnDgr81 I'm assuming they will go after them. And I hope they go a hell of a lot harder on them. We shall see.
Danielle Jean well, unless the investigators are VERY stupid,...I'm ASSUMING, that this is still an ongoing investigation , and still an open case!!....only the truth stands the test of time!...TICK TOCK!...( have a great evening my friend!)✌🏻️❤️ To ya, and all!
@@JohnDgr81 I'm hoping they are taking their sweet time in order to make it stick. Take care my friend. ❤
The closing by the prosecutor is awful. Her eyes are down, she's not looking at the jurors. She's reading! She shuda had a can or two of Red Bull first.
She definitely was putting me to sleep!!
She needs some righteous indignation!
Worst I’ve seen in a prosecution closing and I watch them daily
this closing argument gets minus 5 stars!
Minus? Why?
Judge, prosecutor and jury need to seek other jobs.
The IRS will be contacting the Adelson Institute shortly.....
You know Dan knew exactly what was going down when he got shot between the eyes.
Money talks and criminals walk. This rich family had the smarts, know how and most of all money to take care of what they considered their problem. This. Man was killed by killers who were directed by this rich family.
Terrible. Has this woman ever won any cases? Actual cases? Not homeruns?
I love Georgia. I have a graduate degree with a minor in legal studies. She inspires me to push forward with the law degree.
Wendi is guilty also. She went along with her brothers idea to wipe the husband off the face of the planet and freeing up Wendi to be able to move to South Florida. Her family except her father are all guilty.
What a shame to use the children as weapons, the dvorcio is between two who marry, the children have nothing to do, there is no divorce between children. karma will reach all ancestors. do not make the children suffer, they did not ask to come to this cruel world.
Thi is terrible and they need to arrest the ex-wife and his in law.
Adelson= OJ Simpson
Tips with a P lmao
The person who payed the hit man is the one with the greatest guilt. All the rest follows from this single source. This case has not been solved, by no means.
This assistant DA needs a new career that doesn’t require presentation or public speaking. A factually complex case should be prosecuted by a charismatic and prepared prosecutor.......and someone please teach her the importance of voice inflection. It’s like she chose monotone and doubled down.
Listening to this actually hurts.
