- In the long-awaited hitman conspiracy murder trial of Charlie Adelson, convicted conspirator Katherine Magbanua took the stand on Monday. Magbanua is currently serving a life sentence for her involvement in the 2014 murder of Dan Markel. Katherine remained cooperative with the court, as she revealed to have lied in her 2022 testimony and stated the homicide was “Charlie’s idea." Adelson is accused of being the mastermind behind the heinous killing and could face life behind bars along with Magbanua if found guilty.

Imagine the DA offering you immunity, but you think your smarter and end up doing a life sentence.
Love it. Hilarious.
An know she wants to come forward smh..
Right! She’s pathetic.
In a way sad, but she did help set this murder up. She lost everything and perhaps she should have
"But but...but snitches get stitches. So what if I do life and never get to see my kids?" 😒
The irony of this "lawyer" telling Katherine that the only way she is going to leave prison is in a box, he should tell the same thing to Charlie because now that's the only way he's leaving too. 😂
he goes to Charlie to get answers Charlie lying she telling the truth today so he’s client making things up
Judge “She’s replying to your question. You don’t have to like the answer.”
Hahaha! Good one!
Lmao 🤣
Lol. Love this judge
Then says
Oh no I love them. No you don't you sausage
To me, the guilty person in all this drama is Wendy. A spoiled pampered girl running home to her parents, getting her family involved in her plot to eliminate her husband from her life. It all started with Windy
It's wendi
Do not underestimate Donna Adelson. She very well could have been the catalyst for this tragedy.
@@KarmazovI agree with you, but it was Windi who went crying to her Mommy that "Danny is ruining my life." Donna dragged Charlie into it so her precious princess didn't have to lift a finger. Probably because she's the Baby, the Golden Child (because she does everything her Mommy tells her to do), and she's got babies of her own and needs to be protected.
@@Claudia-lq3nsand those grandkids are Donnas only Jewish ones, so despite both sons having children Wendis Jewish kids are the only grandkids to her.
Donna seems to have been incredibly hateful and bent on destroying this man.@@Karmazov
The only person who benefited from the murder was Wendi Adelson and she is not in prison, really sucks.
She obviously isn’t a good person, but I don’t think she would have been down to put out a hit on him.
It’s not over yet. No statue of limitations on murder.
@astandwithukraine3510 Well that's an under statement. I would encourage you to listen to all of the interrogation tapes of Wendi's ex-boyfriend she had after the divorce leading right up to the murder. He's a very smart guy and spills the beans on Wendi's narcisitic behaviour and Charlie's crazy statements. He explains the absolute hatred the Adelson's family had for Dan Markel. His testimony will be huge when the DA goes after Wendi and Donna.
@@nikhook1114
Very grateful for his testimony!
Yet😅😅😅😅😅
Charlie’s attorney is very unlikable, what a jerk, he’s not doing Charlie any favors.
Katy lawyers from her trial yelled alot too.
With all there money couldn't they find a better lawyer for their son. He is a poor example of a top notch attorney.
Regardless of attorneys, Charlie is done for!
I think he is a good attorney he has a job to do he isn't there to be liked he has a harder job than the prosecution he's doing fine with what he has to work with
@@arvinghevondian8484
Wait until he's on the stand... Quite possibly a hung jury
Katherine suddenly getting a conscience doesn’t change the person she is. She is a cold-hearted, evil person. Imagine helping set up the murder of a person and then going on with life like nothing happened.
And shes still lying which is bizarre. Like just be honest! It will only help her if shes honest and she’s not comprehending that. Shes still trying to minimize her involvement. For supposedly being super smart these people are not very bright
Exactly. I hope the prosecutors don’t cut her any kind of deal after this
The proffers were exhausting and got nowhere,
If everyone is as bad as the worst thing they ever did, we are all evil lol
@@amacuro Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Dan Rashbaum did not do Charlie any favors being condescending, arrogant, and plain MEAN to Katie Magbanua, regardless of her guilt.
I bet this girl wishes she'd taken that immunity deal she was offered. Now she's sitting in prison for life. What a waste.
What was the deal?
Man…I forgot about that!
Absolutely.
wow i didn’t know she was offered immunity smh
@donnawhite1292 - hindsight is 20/20. Unfortunately, she made her bed and she is going to lie in it for the rest of her life! I wish she could have taken the deal. Now I feel so sorry for her. But I feel sorry for the kids who lost their dad!!!
Do you know those regrets you have about the things you've done in your past that make you cringe when you think about them? Imagine turning down full immunity for your testimony, getting life in prison, and ending up testifying anyway!😫🤢🤮😠
She’s not very bright and very selfish.
I don’t know if it’s second hand embarrassment but I was falling off my couch when I heard that!
I'm sure this testimony will still help her get relief in the future... She hasn't exhausted all her appeals yet has she
Rich people get away with murder.
That’s the result of her, wanting to continue to defend/back-up Charlie.
Someone else said Charlie’s attorney took this all so personally and that’s exactly it. He’s so dramatic and embarrassing!
Oh the sweet irony. The only way Charlie is getting out of prison is also in a "box". 😂
He already looks like the mortician already prepped him up to be put in the " box"..😮
What a complete and total disaster. One man is dead, so many lives ruined because an adult woman was unable to get the courts to give her what she wanted.
Total disaster. Love that. So true🎯💯
Except she did. She wins in the end. Now she will be the only person to inherit the fortune that will be left
And she’s supposed to be some international human rights lawyer. That’s what blows my mind.
Whose walking free with hitmen in prison, Everyone knows it’s Wendi
@@iquitnowand she’s got to raise her sons in miami like she wanted right?
It's crazy when you you sit back and realize that ALL of this was caused by a wealthy family's ego. They were probably used to bullying people and couldn't handle the fact that Dan was smarter and could work the legal system better than any lawyer they could hire. I'm pretty sure Wendy and Donna will never be charged but for the rest of their lives they will have to sit and stew in the reality that all this could have been avoided if they were a little more amicable in the divorce. They've probably bankrupted themselves, Charlie is probably gonna die in prison and they're probably dreading the day Dan's kids are old enough to research exactly what happened to their dad.
Oh, Donna is NEXT. Mark my words.
@@WILMA_ tbh, unless Charlie starts to talk I doubt she would ever be charged. But I’m sure every time she see’s a police car her heart will drop so I’m not even that upset about it.
@@gardener3017 Wendy seems so self obsessed that I doubt she even feels guilty. I’m sure the dad is the one really drowning in guilt, he probably knew that he should have calmed everything down when they started casually talking about murder
@@chromebook2447 - Ms. Georgia (the prosecutor) doesn’t waste her questions. I have this feeling that she is SLOWLY BUT SURELY getting there. I followed this case from the beginning and I will until I see Donna locked up.
@@malinaakins3687 - it is going to happen. Please mark my words.
This defense attorney is a total joke! WOW
Exactly. What is the point he is trying to get across with Katie? Cuz he ain't getting it across....😮
Agree 💯! This Defense Team truly was the final nail in the coming for Charlie & Donna Adelson by backing them in a corner with an unbelievable story! It's almost as if Charlie was totally unaware how a charge of conspiracy to murder proceeds & the proof needed to convict all involved. Each & every Denfendant, including the uninvited co-conspirators in the murder of Dan Markel might as well have pulled the trigger themselves & that's how they will b treated once convicted. Roshbaum is just "paying his bills" with this case & again "taking care of business" by taking on Donna's Case after a clear L in Charlie's case. It's almost as if Rashbaum & his team r delusional thinking they had a solid defense - a fool & his team will carry on as long as there's $$$ at the end of each case! IMO of course for above stated. 😊
@@moonchildpink5525 Great comment. During Pat Sanford's testimony, he mentions that Charlie got the idea about this murder, from a TV show, ha, makes sense. Delusional for sure!
She was offered immunity twice and declined. Now she has a life sentence. I cannot imagine the regret and gut rot over those poor decisions.
That’s what makes the justice in this case so sweet. She has to live with her arrogance forever and will never see her children except through a glass window.
Life seems really harsh for her role in this.
@@sueandpatrickum how??? She was the middle man in an innocent man’s murder!
@@kennedystarr8094 Rivera only got 19 years and he was the driver!
@@josem.rodriguez1121because he accepted the plea deal. She was offered one and declined.
She doing life for a woman still walking the streets 😳🤯💀
Right Wendi Adelson is in Florida with her ‘boys’, doesn’t care about this ‘single mom’
@@susanwhalls6230Wendi is a ‘single mom’ too. A murderous one.
@kass794 - that is the ONLY thing that hurts me for KM. She made the worst mistake by not taking the plea deal she was offered by the State.
@@susanwhalls6230 - Right. I pray she never has peace in all the days of her life.
This woman was involved in a murder. I feel sorry for the victim.
The defense attorney should have worked more on fixing Charlie’s lies than proving Katherine’s. Lol
Charlie’s attorney has a severe case of little man syndrome. He did his client a huge disservice with his demeanor - thankfully!
Absolutely. His style is awful and makes him very unlikeable. He really needs to watch the prosecution and take notes.
Totally agree! Not to defend Katie M. at all but rottenbums lawyering skills are at best crass and feeble..
I couldn’t agree more !,
@@anthonycolozzi8256As a person who has been a juror so many times over the years. All the lawyers are never likeable.
Spot on ❤
Wow Charlie’s Lawyer is as unlikable as Charlie.
Katherine kept telling him I couldn’t take the deal because of the father of my children. If it was just Charlie I believe she would have taken the deal. The more he asks about her lies the more the jury gets to hear I lied to try and save myself. He is beating a dead horse at this point.
I remember watching this case in the beginning and being so upset Wendi, Charlie and his Mom got away with it. It took almost 10 years but they got him. 🤞 they will get Wendi and her Mom to!
yeah but once her baby daddy was convicted she should have taken it, but i guess shes holding out hope for an appeal for both of them lol
They may not have been charged yet but I'm.sure the last 10 years they have been looking over their shoulder waiting to be arrested. I hope they are miserable for the rest of their lives
@@amandam1137at that point she should have said anything
She took Charles BS, hook line and sinker. What made her think she’d get off!! Crazy what people talk themselves into. Charlie gifted her into a fantasy.
I’m glad she is, finally, telling the truth. Why should he get off.
The Defense Atty. thinks he is making headway with his questioning, he’s not.
⚖️🪦☮️
Katie actually makes this lawyer look like a total buffoon
Can't imagine being involved in murdering a Dad just so his ex wife could have their children and then I give up my own children for couple bucks and life in prison. Unbelievable the selfishness of people that money is more important than their own children.
Exactly!
$138,000
The love of money is the root of all evil. 1 Timothy 6:10
If you can't even imagine it, maybe it doesn't make any sense? It doesn't make sense IMO because this isn't the whole story. I'm betting Wendi was the mastermind of this and kept a degree of separation from it.
@@gametime2473I agree. This case is convoluted, he said-she said (Charlie & Katherine). Who is lying? Maybe everyone. Aaargh!!😖🤔😅
Charlie's lawyer is being too aggressive towards Katherine. She's already in jail for life. Bullying her isn't winning any jurors over.
She’s a MURDERER and you are feeling sorry for her. Unbelievable!!
Sad case
Totally agree 💯🤦♀️
@@rembo183that's not the point here. The lawyer is extra and it truly looks bad.
@@boggo7831 - I watched it in court today and that wasn’t my feeling. But of course everyone sees things differently. I simply disagree. He was not bullying just strongly accusing her of lying which is a felony. Perjury is a felony and she admitted to numerous crimes in a very
Nonchalant manner like no big deal! He was trying g to show jury it’s a VERY BIG DEAL! He’s a short guy and probably felt like he wanted to look strong. It’s a risk but trial work is risky always.
“I was not promised anything, I’m doing this solely on myself. Clearly, you don’t even see my attorney’s in this room.” He was stunned lol
However she has an appeal pending ……
@@tabbylynn4130she’ll get a good sentence reduction with the state getting a guilty on all counts verdict for Charlie
“I get to ask the questions. That is how this works”. But the defense attorney shows no proof when Katherine asks for it. Instead he says “I don’t need to”. What a joke this little man is.
Real men do wear pink but this narcissistic a hole even makes pink look bad
Yet millionaire family hired him and Charlie took the stand for hours with his attorney.
Little man doesn’t have his facts to back up his questions
Charlie's goose is cooked .... he's getting greener around the gills with every passing minute 😕
He looks guilty
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's gonna be bubba's wife
He’s flipping her off.
I can't help laughing at how much Katie frustrates the defense attorney. He is such a buffoon!
In the contrary, I think he is good. I think he lost the case because the evidence against his client was too much. He made her seem like a lier and she is going for revenge.
@@amanuelgetachew9356He’s very good indeed! I’m just starting to follow this (second video) and don’t have the full facts yet so reserving my opinion but for all probability, this lady could have been the one behind it. She definitely has no less ego or arrogance than him and family, or even motive. She COULD have thought she would do this for her blabbermouth of a new boyfriend and keep him. YT comments give good insight on how consensus builds not necessarily based on facts or lock thereof but group think.
Katie? now you are amicable with an incorrigeable liar? nothing wrong with the lawyer mind you
@@amanuelgetachew9356 You are in the minority of thinking that attorney is good. He is horrible, rude and very unprofessional. He absolutely did not make Katie look like a liar. You really are clueless or related to tat attorney.
@@Asidebar 👍🏽
The defense attorney sounds like he thinks he’s caught a woman in some big lies when she’s like duh. Lol
Wonder if he talks like this to his mom when his dinner isn’t ready on time.
I have no words for his attorney. What a joke. He really thinks he has it all figured out. Lol. Im embarrassed for him
I totally had second hand embarrassment for this attorney. It shocks me that so many praise the job he did in trial. I thought he lost his cool multiple times and was just completely goofy in his crosses .
@@megaPhone713 right,! And seemed like he had same as ca and his family, they look down on, spit on people they think as lower than themselves!! The defense attorney is the same! He's already treating her as guilty before presumed innocent!!
And this, folks, is the outcome of a dentist who wants to play gansta’ . Play gansta’ games , win gansta’ prizes. 🙃
I mean…you’re not wrong!
The defense attorney is horrible, all hes doing is making her look meek and himself look like a complete a__hole, and his client guilty...
A real a__hole
He’s trying to dismember her credibility. Doesn’t help the fact that he looks like an angry Michael Scott 😭😭😭
@@tarab3746Michael Scott is way better looking and articulate
Life in prison for a crusty ex to kill someone who never did anything to you. WILD!
This is so spot on. And now their children have no parents. 😩
The defense attorney is one of the worst attorneys I’ve ever seen. So disorganized. When cross examining witnesses and they disagreed - he showed no proof to back up his claims.
Agreed. He is in way over his head.
He's definitely a bad attorney hard to believe he getting good money for defending Charlie
He's horrible. The entire cross examination felt so pointless and just irritating. Charlie would have been better off with a passive lawyer who just said "no questions, your honor" instead of this kind of aggressive, disorganized, pointless cross exam.
That was classic. Dude would make something up that he alleges they said. When they said they didn’t say that, he backs off. Phony confidence and no backbone. What a weasel
@@kyleanderson2949 So true
If you're spending the rest of your life in jail, I guess it does feel a little bit better to do so with a cleaner conscience.
This is a perfect example of people never being happy with what they have and not staying in their own lanes. Every single person involved in this case had a great life and would’ve gotten better as they got older. Instead of being happy about it, they wanted to play Scarface and lost
That's what happens when u have to much money
Facts
Facts. These folks out here playing Scarface and Godfather
The gang guys were in their gangster mode
Yes, Mafia Don-na washes the money, and Charlie marked the money by stapling $100. bills, his tell.
They’ve seen too many movies. 🙄🤡⚖️
I love watching Charlie's attorney go nuts trying to discredit Katherine. All of his law school knowledge and Addelson's money didn't help
The shouting Charlie’s attorney did non stop made it really hard to listen to him, its like when you are in a disagreement with someone and all they do is shout at you. You shut down and zone them out. I am sure the jury didn’t like the shouting either.
The defense attorney and Charlie are two peas in a pod. Arrogant , narcissistic and manipulative. The guy is “doing his job” but not well in my opinion.
@@mslizzy3772 right! He was bullying, manipulative, and to me seems close to lying!!
It's sad that so many people don't value human life.😢

@@January. Also, I'm from Europe. I believe Germans are European. I also have relatives in Switzerland..
This lawyer has no class whatsoever! He is combative and rude.
He seems like he's coming unhinged!
@@HopeForUs5 Unhinged is not a good look at all. I love how Katie can't remember but Charlie remembers every detail of the story he created. Both are trying to save themselves.
If short man syndrome was a person.....
Charlies attorney
😂 😂😂
He’s got a difficult job, he has to roll with the far fetched extortion theory, what’s he supposed to do? The case hinged a lot on Katie’s testimony in the end, he had to try n show she is a liar
i think he is a great attorney. He was swimming up stream. He was also setup
@thaboski111 He is definitely not great in this situation. He is absolutely hostile. He knows the case and knows that Charlie is the one who facilitated and and paid for the murder to happen
How could Charlie and his incompetent attorney not think that Katy’s testimony would sink him😳
I was wondering the same thing
They did think it would sink them that’s why the attorney having her repeat over and over that she’s a liar. Charlie still like her to. It’s obvious
I actually thought her testimony sucked. She is a liar. She couldn't even remember her lies.
@@crimetimewithjess5366She lied when it was her trial. She is telling the truth as far as Chsrlie being the instigator is concerned. Charlie is actually the most evil and the biggest liar.
I wouldn’t hire this guy for a parking ticket.
If this attorney is under the impression that treating the witness like a dog helps his case, he needs to go back to law, school and retrain from day one. I actually felt sympathy for this gal and I hated the attorney.
Well she is less worth than a dog....a dog is loyal and would never snitch on you 😂😂😂
Same, agree!
She is a dog sorry not sorry! I get the theatrics and Charlie deserves everything that’s being handed to him, but for Katie to sit up there like she is doing this because it’s the right thing to do is bs
@@Missstrishwow i hope you dont own a dog if you think that low if them 🙄
I hope no one yells at their dog like this! It’s abusive.
The defense attempted a "Perry Mason" examination of the witness and failed miserably
Yes!!! I had that exact same thought! 😂
The lawyer is pitiful! He's desperate and grasping at straws. Can't blame him, he has nothing to work with.
I am so grateful they got Donna before she was able to flee, she is the ringmaster of it all. This is how one narcissist causes death and destruction. Stay tuned for the Chad Daybell case which will be on tv, lots of dead people in that one.
Update! Charlie was found guilty and will be sentenced in December. His Mom Donna was arrested today at Miami International Airport trying to flee the country. She was charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder. She is going to be transferred to Leon County jail in Tallahassee.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
😂😂😂😂
Just waiting for Wendi to be done now, she's definitely involved 💯
Ironic that the Mom and Wendi HATED Tallahassee … now Donna will be in Jail there awaiting trial …
Rashbum is useless as a defense atty. I don’t know what all of the hype is about with this clown but, Chuckie would have been better off with a public defender. He looks over at the jurors when he gets all fired up, as if they think he’s impressive. What a joke 🤮
I agree, the Attorney isn’t getting any brownie points, he’s a bully and no one likes a bully
I totally agree!!!
I noticed him looking at the jury….what an oddball
Not “Chuckie.” 💀
- Charlie Adelson
- Katherine Magbanu
- Luis Rivera
- Sigfried Garcia
They all gave up being with their kids forever so a woman they didn't know could spend 100% time with her kids because she didn't want to share with her ex-husband.
The love of money is a terrible thing isn't it?
Charlie definitely knows his sister, Wendi. Luis got 6 years for his part in the crime. He is serving time for other, unrelated crimes. He isn't away from his kids forever because of Wendi.
"i never said Charlie was upset; he was just frantic".
😂😂😂
I’m just starting to learn about this case. I remember first hearing about it but wow this woman rejected immunity to tell the real story and now she’s in prison for life, sitting in a chair telling the “real” story. Incredible. Good for her.
Can’t believe anything she says. Pathological liar.
I agree. Everybody is hating on her but at least she is telling the truth now, without her it might be impossible to convict him.
I thought she rejected the immunity because she thought she would get off.
@@patricialear8001 She did.
@@patricialear8001 yea obviously but why tf would she think that ??? Immunity would keep her out of prison at least
In my opinion, Katie Magbanua is disgusting. She claims to be at the trial now because”the truth needed to be told to let the family have closure”. A person who thinks that way, wouldn’t consider murdering someone in the first place. Another disgusting being.
100% agree, absolute monster, delighted she didn’t take the deal, can’t believe she was offered it in the first place…
She is so disgusting. She isn’t doing this because it’s the truth needs to come out 10 years later.
100% agree
She facilitated the murder of a father in exchange for a used lexis. a boob augmentation, and a little extra cash. That illustrates her values or lack thereof. Now her children have no parents. The father of her 2 kids is also in prison for life. They meaning all the participants in Dan's murder are all disgusting.
Disgustingly truthful and finally credible at the last trial which convicted the financial manager and ringleader Charlie. The State called her as a witness and now owes her a sentence reduction, despite her evil nature. They made a deal with the devil and now they have to pay her back for her assistance. It’s a crazy game for that’s done for Justice and Accountability! The prosecutor owes her now!
Defense comes on too strong with her about dying in prison 😢makes him look like a bully
He is a bully.
I think it's called badgering the witness!
He’s an absolute joke
Well it’s the only truth he’s told.
Words are never too strong when addressing a murderer.
Dude doesn't seem like that great a lawyer. She glaringly admits she told a pack of lies to save herself at first, yet he insists on beating the dead horse of going over each and every one. It seems he gets a lot wrong too.
Yeah, he gets A LOT wrong and then when he can’t back up his accusations he just moves on to another question. He’s very annoying
"Ma'am, let me ask the questions. I know you have an agenda." LMAO this defense attorney is wild.
Her agenda is serving life plus 30 yrs!
No one ever bothered to tell him that as an attorney, you actually do want the jurors to like you at some point during the trial???
He’s horrible
Not as wild as the prosecutor who questioned Wendi, saying multiple times that her family had her husband killed - just out of nowhere, not even in the course of a question.
This woman lies at every inch. Who to believe. Defence attorney is doing his job
The defense attorney sounds desperate. It’s clearly not going well…..
The defense attorney believes he is having several Matlock moments; the guy is delusional. Katherine is more credible than the defense attorney, which is scary!
It’s comical! He honestly thought he was! Puuuhleeeaseeeee
He is a goof ball
“Matlock Moments.” 😂
I know she is guilty… but, I love she is making his lawyer mad. 🤣
The prosecution will get her a deal maybe 20 years then released
@@clubfillerspinkknickers9791 NO they will not
@@Asidebar yes they will
Me too. I can’t help it, he’s awful
AGREED 😂😂😂.......And Charlie is sitting there ready to vomit because he knows he's guilty and his facial expressions show it.
What a angry little attorney, no wonder Charlie is in prison
😂😂😂😂
Angry little attorney 🤣
This is one of the greatest summations yet. Grandparent visitation is “unconstitutional” per Wendi was sickening to hear. Prior to the Dan Markel Act, there were no grandparent rights with regard to minor children of divorced parents. However, if you have nothing to hide and you wish to foster a grandparent relationship with the paternal grandparents, what is the issue? Narcissism at its finest and pretty scary that she holds a law license in the state of Florida.
Good old Florida, rotten to the core
Exactly!!! Wendi is Wiley and wicked to the core
Grandparents rights have been around for a long time, long before Dan markel!
She pulled an OJ and wrote a book about it but it's a kid's book😂😂😂😂
@@Lisajed yes, up until 1996 when they were declared unconstitutional.
Him constantly looking at the jury is ridiculous. Is he auditioning or something? Wow he is annoying me. 🙄🙄🙄. Charlie seems to be "puffing up" like his lawyer is hitting it home. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He wants his own reality show … lol
i bet when he found this lawyer he thought he won the lottery.
Why’s this attorney have to act so angry and say sadistic things like “the only way you’re going to leave jail is a casket” ? His emotional aggression just comes off as lacking in confidence in his case and him being unprofessional. Keep it cool, man. This is unbecoming to watch.
Agree !! I found that constant casket reference repulsive. Saying it once was bad enough, but six times!! I know Katie was a big part of this plan. It likely could not have happened without her. But sadly, I feel that scumbag Charlie played on her financial desperation. I only wish she would’ve spoke her truth sooner.. She allowed that dirtbag seven undeserved years of life, freedom, and the chance to enjoy moments in life that most of us could only dream of.. I am glad she finally spoke her truth.
I totally agree. That's all he has. To yell and itimidate
I thought it was so cruel also and it wasn’t necessary
She's not his client.
It’s the South Florida way. The Lawyers are extra sleazy down there
She gambled with her children’s lives, how horrible.
She did a long time ago when she involved herself in a murder. Evil & dumber than rocks.
@@Bgonzo20 totally agree
And it’s the kids that suffer most. They have neither parents now. I can’t imagine knowing that both my parents are in prison for murder.
Some people are dumber than rocks.
So did their father!
All this selfishness ruined so many lives 😢
The defense lawyer is trying so bad to look like he got it and he's such a good lawyer. When in reality he's such a horrible, horrible lawyer 😂😂😂
Rashbaum looks ridiculous when he is yelling at the witness. It’s embarrassing to watch that.
His pink tie is giving him the power to be yelling!
So many things in this case make no sense.
1) Why would Charlie's girlfriend at the time ever do this to his sister's husband without Charlie's involvement? She would have NO motive whatsoever.
2) Why would Charlie without any influence whatsoever, choose to risk his entire life to help his sister have an easier time with her custody battle?
None of these pieces are fitting together without BOTH Charlie and Wendi being involved. If Wendi was distraught and coerced her brother into helping her to find people to kill her ex, now THAT would make some sense. Wendi covered her tracks well, leaving her brother to hang.
🎯
I agree 100%
It says a lot that nobody from his family. Had showed up to court to support Charlie. His family was behind all of this & now they are going to have nothing to do with him. I hope Mommy is next’s to be arrested & then Wendi!!
I’m hoping they have good evidence against Wendi that they’re keeping secret for now
Wendy absolutely was involved. I'm positive they would not have moved forward with the plan without her approval.
Wendy benefited the most from Dan's death. 😞
Motive.
Here’s a little tip to people. STOP murdering each other! Why this lady throw way her life I’ll never understand.
She threw away her life and her kids life
‘I never said Charlie was upset, he was frantic.’ 😂🤣😂
Katherine, girl! Why didn't you take the plea? Betcha you're kicking yourself daily.
Every day? Every minute! It’s inconceivable to me. Maybe if Charlie were the father of her children, I’d understand just a bit.
She believed in Charley and the Adelsons, poor thing. I feel sorry for her.
24/7
What was the plea??
@@tint6625 -only after she got LIFE WITH NO POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE.
That defense lawyer makes my skin crawl
Can't stand him!
I don't know why Chucky Boy didn't hire Jose Baez instead. He's famous for getting juries to acquit the worst of the worst (e.g., Casey Anthony, Aaron Rodriguez, etc.).
No one likes RashBum your not alone
Same. He’s awful. He’s way too worked up
Defense lawyer’s demeanor became inappropriate - he didn’t need to be at aggression level 10 while questioning her while she maintained a calm demeanor throughout.
sociopaths do that…
let’s not forget her role…
Why is the defense attorney being such a jerk. He’s over the top and it’s not going to go over well for the jury because there’s no need to be that aggressive especially why she’s actually being cooraperative.
I believe he thinks if he's aggressive treating her with contempt, the jury will believe him more, he doesn't know the human physche very well
Katherine turned down a plea deal that would've kept her out of prison. She just had to snitch, but she didn't want to snitch on her baby daddy. Now both of them are in prison 🤷♂️
"snitch" implies there's some sort of honor in not being truthful.
katie was no rivera, she will not be a rat and a snitch. no honor among thieves
She *GAMBLED* and *SHE LOST!!!*
The fact that Katherine could’ve taken a plea… but due to her own ego, ended up with a life sentence! That’s another level of stupidity 🤦♀️
She'll likely get a lighter sentence on appeal. It will still be many years though I imagine.
To think that her ego kept her from getting away with murder.
Where she’s from, people get executed if they EVER admit to a crime, even after convicted and serving their sentences…Not excusing her crime, just understanding her culture re extra-judicial executions.
Her ego and Charlie’s manipulation! He is such a effing narcissist!
She was brought up with the belief snitches get stitches, plus she probably felt guilty she roped her baby's Dad into the murder and felt like throwing him under the bus was not the right thing to do. She probably couldn't live with herself if her Baby Dad got the death penalty. When it was finally "safe" for her to tell the truth she did.
His lawyer is showboating and it’s irritating
Thankyou. I agree with that
He’s so annoying - talk about overkill
Adelson's attorney is a piece of work. That man has even less self-awareness than Charlie!! He kept asking her the same questions over and over and when she answers he gives this smug mug look and grin to the jury.. just hilarious
And she's just kept repeating "l lied because l was trying to save myself."
I can’t believe she refused to tell the truth during her own trial. Two times!
I am guessing she put her faith in this rich family looking after her. Poor fool
Don’t many defendants do this though?
But now some are saying she could still get out.
@@snowblo1hopefully not 😩
3X's.
She is still holding back.
she was worried about giving up the father of her children but not involving the father of her children in a murder? how did she think the connection would not be obvious?
Same logic as Luis Rivera.
He wouldn't kill "the man" the first trip because the kids were there.
But he would kill him the next time when the kids weren't there.
Like he has some high moral code.
Makes no sense.
Worried about giving up the father of her children but not leaving her children motherless. Ridiculous.
Right which was crazy. Crazy what money will make ppl do
Well her first trial was hung jury, had she had another hung jury the state would have offered a sweetheart plea deal to save face , money, and at least get her a guilty plea on some kind of charge
Why he had to keep saying you won't get out of prison until you are in a box, really is a nasty man. I know she is guilty but to keep rubbing that in I find distasteful.
I literally coiled back from my phone when he spoke about (Peace be upon him) Dan Markel's "Coffin" like that. That man's Mother was in the court room. When I seen her get up and walk out, my heart broke for her.
Same here
Poor Dans mom. She has to hear all this crap. Sitting there crying.
Nothing is distasteful when addressing a murderer
Exactly what did Charlie’s attorney prove here? We’ve always known Katie was a liar. I kept waiting for him to conclude something with her, but it just kept leading to nothing.
I don't see what, if anything, the defense attorney gained in his cross examination, accept possible billing hours for his attorney fees.
He definitely gained sowing reasonable doubt.
😂
@@MsK_1111Huh?!? Not at all.
Agreed
The defense yelled a lot at her for her lies however hardly provided the actual evidence of his claims. Super annoying tactic.
She seemed very honest about this testimony. Nothing to gain or lose.
I hope justice will be served accordingly.
I have watched a ton of trials. One thing juries hate by their own word is a lawyer bully. He really screwed himself here
Katie has had two profers for this case so that means she works with the state to get Charlie a life setence and possibly the Adlesons in prison for her to get much less time.She will probably walk out of prison after this case.I bet at least Wendi will be arrested because I see state questioning witnesses to set Wendi up.His trial won't be over and She will be arrested just like they did Charlie during Katie's trial.
He's all bark and no bite.
Boso is finished ! ! !
I think lawyer knows she is a liar and manipulative towards justice system. She is trying to save her own skin here but put her baby daddy to death sentence. What a coward woman. Katy could have put a stop to the ‘hit’. But no, she continued with it. A cheating girlfriend, probably a scam to obtain money
There are at least two occasions that Charlie and Dan Rashbaum forgot they wanted to come across to the jury as likable people. Twice they exhibited qualities that alienated the jury. The smart-aleck questioning of Katie was a low point for Rashbaum. He repeatedly tormented her with the idea of only leaving prison in a coffin and showed pure glee when he dug into her time and time again with his snarky questions. Hateful! Then Charlie forgot himself when Georgia cross-examined him. He started enjoying his own slick answers too much. I'm sure it made some of the jurors want to slap the smirk off his face. He showed his true arrogant self.
I love watching these back after a guilty verdict just incase i missed something 😊 georgia is an incredible attorney and one of the best 👌 👍
I’m doing the same thing…
Yes and armchair quarterbacks ACTUALLY doubted her trial week!!!!!!
I remember people criticising Georgia for doing a terrible job, blah, blah, the day before it took the jury only 3 hours to reach a guilty verdict and wondering, as she methodically checked off each point, how they came to that conclusion.
@Bearwithme560 I thought her cross examination could've been better on Charlie boy but her closing argument was first class just like I thought creighton Waters cross on alex murdaugh could've been better but yet again his closing argument was first class? We were just worried for a not guilty or a hung jury, and expectationswere getting the better of us, which shows closing arguments are the most important part of any trial 👌them both are very powerful attorney's 👏
The prosecutor just used the rigged system! There’s no such thing as due process. U hve to prove innocence in the rigged system. Everything was hear say no actual evidence. Weather he did it or not they did not prove his guilt. With actual hard real evidence
Defense attorney thinks he's being coy but he looks like a fool.
He acts like a child
Defense attorney is a total jerk! Jury will see through him!
How? He is exposing her
I can’t believe people pay him lol. Charlie’s phone calls are all him complaining about his conviction blaming everyone yet the real blame should be on this guy….not saying he’s innocent but for a high power Miami lawyer he sucks
@@DrTiwade exposing what lol he's proving the state's point
The lawyer just admitted his client gave her 138,000 instead of 100,000 after the murder😗
He did MORE harm than good.
I just ran into an article from 2016 which documented that there’s a “shrine-like” area of the Adelson's house - more like a hallway - dedicated almost entirely to pictures of her since she was a kid. Based on the source who visited their home, _“Wendi gloated about the [shrine area] as if it was a special thing. But it was much more eerie than special. [While we were with the family], the focus on Wendi as special was palpable.”_
Unless one of them talk, we will never know the real story behind this all. To me, it looks like now though, they nourished a viper in their bosoms. She basically threw them all to the wolves with her original statements when interrogated by the police.
Goodbye Charlie and good luck to your chocolate factory 🥵
Chocolate factory??
Charlie and the chocolate factory! 🤣🤣🤣👌🏼
@@WILMA_ his prison buddies and his chocolate factory meaning booty and what they are said to do in jail
Wish I thought of this 👌
😂😂
Charlie is thinking .... "And now the end is near and so I face the final curtain ...
😂
Dan spirit sitting in somewhere in court. Charles, you are not going home.
I don't know this witness isn't helping the prosecution by any means.
@Bgonzo20 yes I believe she did. That freshly laundered money that was delivered to Charlie's. Stapled cash. Why she did this? For Charlie and for money. DA tried to get her to say stuff that she had never said. Bad on Charlie.
Chollie's sending SOS with his eyelids!
26:20 More proof that Harvey was in on it... "His parents had just stopped by before I got there"... his parents - Harvey and Donna - came with the bag of wet money.
Charlie’s Attorney was one of the worst I have seen since the Attorney for Katy!! He actually thought the jury would believe the laughable story he put his client on to tell!!!!
The huge pile of human debris left tossed aside by the ego an selfishness of the Adelson family. There are kids left without parents, other kids without a father and lives thrown away or lost. He was good enough to marry and have 2 kids with and then not good enough to live... Such tragedy.
When it comes to narcissistic people, anyone is disposable.
All kids(5) will be orphans after Wendi's arrest, coming soon !!
@@jakebe4915 - what five kids are you talking about here? Wendi has 2 boys. Unless you are adding Katherine Magbanua’s 2 kids and Charlie’s son - who has a mother, thankfully…
You don’t have to stay with a man you no longer love…but you don’t get to kill him over a custody issue.
If Charlie was innocent and their narrative was true his lawyer would be asking very different questions.
Very very *GOOD POINT!!!*
I understand the defense trying to make Katie look like she’s still lying but it’s annoying that he’s going through so many prior lies. Ok, yes, she lied. How about getting to the current ones he’s accusing her of today? I gotta be honest, I believe she’s testifying truthfully here.
The defense attorney is a jerk…. This girl has already been convicted
A real Jerk! = an a__hole! Just like Charlie
I’ve been very vocal about this trial. No secrets, no drama and nothing strange about this case:
Charlie Adelson along with his Wendi, hired Katherine M who in turn hired Sigfredo and Luis Rivera to kill this innocent guy in Tallahassee! That’s it! So all of them deserve to be jailed, including Wendi.
That's it in a nutshell 😊
Idk man, Part of my thinks that Charlie went out his way to get the hit done. Seeing how he acts and by his ego and persona, I wouldn’t be surprised that he wanted to get it done and surprise his sister when she suddenly finds out that the man keeping her children at distance is miraculously dead. But idk you could be right..
In my opinion, Charlie wanted to be mommy dearest Donna's hero...she was enraged, not sleeping.... and in my opinion she was part of it. Now that she's been arrested , let justice turn its wheels... let's just hope it turns faster from now on in this case. Justice for Dan🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
@@VeganorganicsTV there are key details that only Wendi could have known. She had to know about this.
And their mom.
I believe Charlie targeted Katharine from the beginning to see if she could assist in his crazy murder plans. He played her like a fiddle, and she let him. He certainly didn’t help her when the curtain was closing. He was saving his neck and couldn’t give a flying you know what about her
I believe this too, and about Wendi and Jeff Lacasse. I think they both got played and were pawns in their family’s little game.
His lawyer is getting out smarted by the witness😂😂😂
OK let me get this straight. You want me to believe this Father was killed because his Mother in law wasn't sleeping well? No! He was killed because he wanted good shared custody of his kids. The wife was involved also and the parents put up the money.
She’s probably sleeping a lot worse in jail now 😂
He actually wants us to believe, Katy and Co came up with the idea to kill Dan then extort them for something he apparently had nothing to do with, how that works is beyond me, it doesn't work, the Latin Kings chose Dan because Charlie and Donna had money 🤔🤔🤔🤔 😂😂😂😂
Shame on this girl's attorney for not highly, highly encouraging her to take that Plea Deal.
Obviously, these folks have not watched enough Law & Order episodes. Never gamble your life with a Jury when you are GUILTY.
She's where she belongs,she's as guilty as the hitman & all the others,she should not have got any deals or be free, none of them should..
A man has been murdered and his young kids have been robbed of their father for the rest of their lives,so nobody should be getting deals!
@@GA-fz2wtYep and a liar cannot be believed even when they speak the truth...
ABSOLUTLEY RIGHT!
Do you really think her lawyer didnt do everything they could to get her to take that deal? A lawyer can't make thier client take a plea deal. Katie explained why she wouldnt take that deal, she couldn't betray her babies daddy and she thought she would be found not guilty. Onviously she isnt a very smart person, no reason to blame her lawyer.
I’m sure her attorney did. But she really thought that she was smarter, could effectively lie on the stand, and would get a huge payoff from the Adelson family when she thought she’d be found not guilty with reasonable doubt.
