Donna and Wendi are 100% involved. Wendi, a lawyer, didn’t read her brother’s indictment? Ok now that’s just a flat out lie. Although her mother said she’s a good actress I beg to disagree 😂
@@lukashood25I don’t know…watch dalia dipolito get informed about her husbands “death”, and then watch the first few minutes of Wendi’s police interview. It’s eerie.
What is sad and heartbreaking, is that the kids are being brainwashed against their dad and his family. This evil family already changed the kids names to Adelson. It's frightening and terrifying to know that the kids are brought up by these monsters.
This part is what always stood out to me. Wendi is such a monster. Cold and calculated and totally fine with not only killing her children’s father BUT also destroying his character. I hope she gets charges brought against her.
When you're the only parent left, it's appropriate to change your children's last name to your maiden name. When my ex was gone, I did the same thing, to provide continuity within our family structure and so my children weren't constantly reminded of a terrible event. That doesn't make her a criminal.
How on earth are Dan's boys going to process, after over ten years, the fact that the Adelsons had their vilified father killed, and that they have no other family thanks to estranging them from the Markel family? They're surrounded by strangers. Who else do they have?
@@carolynemerson6576 I feel terrible for those boys. This is the thing that angers me most about these cases, when innocent children are drug into the mess by no fault of their own.
I've seen nothing here that shows Dan was murdered at the hands of this family. Charlie has no history of violence, no history of animosity towards his brother-in -law, no extreme closeness or loyalty to his sister, no over involvement in his sister's life, no passion for murder. Everything he's testified to is plausible.
IMHO Wendi is unlikely to be convicted of anything, regardless of what she knew or approved of. Even is she's "love impaired" so to speak, they still have her.
Well, by that same standard you could say that Dan started it by marrying her. She won't be arrested, there's just no evidence, except online commenters who dont like her.
@@flowersinthefire hahaha sure. She looks like an android from terminator movies! We could clear this up with tests and interview sessions with a professional. And throw a brain fMRI while you are at it LOL
@@flowersinthefireDans parents were obviously devestated when Dan was murdered, and what does Wendi do? Takes thier grandkids away from them too. Only a psychopath/sociopath would do something like that.
I bet Wendi doesn't even love those kids. It was just a game she had to win. I hope those kids get the justice and find out the truth when they're old enough to understand
@@TheVAULTofHORROR True, but she is still a suspect, and there will be a paper trail leading to her. So an arrest is possible. She and her mom are the true evil behind this. Edit: but your comment is 100% true.
She wasn't working at their practice (2:34). She testified during this trial that she did not ever work there, although they were paying her as if she were an employee.
So, I'm always confused about this part... she got the initial payment (which they split 3 ways between Katie, Rivera and Garcia) then how much did he pay after that with checks from the Institute and how long did that last?
@@sflo4538 , From what I heard at the trial so far, they gave her two "paychecks" per month, each of which was for around $480 or something like that. They gave some of those checks to her in what I would call bundles, where they gave her multiple at the same time with sequential check numbers. Aside from that, I think Charlie was helping her with things like car repairs. I don't know how much she received in total.
My first thought was he looks like the desperate, criminal, drug addicted stooge character in every TV show like "Hill Street Blues" and "Law & Order" etc. With his wild hair, sunken eyes and swarmy demeanor. He's straight out of central casting. So glad he was convicted, and that his mom Donna is in the murder trial hot seat right now. And daughter Windy/Wendy is next after her hopefully.
@@sflo4538And the two women who worked in the office confirmed it. Those texts between Charlie and Katie sure don't sound like she was threatening and forcing him to give her money
IMO they will be like most children and stand by their living parent and not believe it… They were very young and been brainwashed by mom and grandparents for years…
Except the Adelsons were giving money to her as a conduit for the murder. Wendi and her mother are in to this up to their necks. These people would have no idea where Dan lived etc. This was a highly coordinated hit.
It gets dumber, she testifies that she was guilty after all as well as her former boyfriend without any benefit whatsoever, and while her case is on appeal.
I think Wendi Adelson is also involved. Hard to believe she did not know what was going on. Her brother and mother were talking and coordinating before and after the murder. Wendi had the most to gain and most motive to have this man murdered. She wanted to have her kids in south florida with her, her ex wanted the in tallhassee with him, forcing her back to tallahassee, which a judge approved. She must have known his routine, since she was in tallahassee passing the children back and forth between her ex. The hitman followed his routine for 2 days until they saw an opportunity. One of Wendi's emails sounds like she knew right away after the murder what was going on. I hope to place her and her mother in jail too. How could you kill someone over a custody battle regarding location???
@@Marie-JoseeGendron Yes, me too. The father of charlie and wendi must have also known, since his wife was involved. The funds to pay for hit came from the adelson institute, which the family owns. Wendi told a boyfriend just before murder what the plans were, then broke up with him, and then asked his plans on the friday morning of murder. Wendi then suggested to a girlfriend to report the boyfriend as a suspect after the murder. A setup by wendi and family
I not buying the defense theory. It doesn't make sense someone would kill Danny hoping that Charlie would pay. He could have just turned them in and work with law enforcement prove the extortion. Imo it only makes sense the family hired them to kill Danny.
If he was being blackmailed , he should be relived with Katy arrest and not more nervous! If the person who is threatening you is out of the street you are more secure to get help from law enforcement, especially if your sister is a lawyer!! But no… just when all the individuals that represented danger to you are behind bars is the time when you get erratic! This is insane
To play devils advocate, if the blackmailers thought that he was the reason they were arrested and could send people after you, that would make you more scared.
@@SS11660Respectfully...huh? Maybe it's just me, but I don't care how much I am taking care of someone ...or even if they are taking care of me, you kill my sister's husband and the father to my nephews - then extort money from me - you got the wrong one.
I think for Wendi especially but the rest too they thought people would never think a rich, successful family would know people like hit men let alone order a hit. Wendi’s head tilt and denial seems more like a Sorority girl wondering how she got busted for underage drinking. She won’t even say her Ex Husband’s name. Mom and Charlie clearly drag her along because they think she can’t get along without them. Poor Donna arranged the marriage and didn’t like her choice and now is afraid Wendi will remarry another man who stands up to her. Look at the wrath she has caused to so many for nothing because she will spend the rest of her life looking over her shoulder.
That head tilt and constantly looks in a state of confusion from the most simple questions. The lady is highly educated, who is she fooling??? I find it very hard to believe that Wendi didn't tell Charlie to hire someone. Despite being a successful dentist, Charlie seemed like the trashier and more sleezeball than the rest of the family (according to their eyes). They'd probably rather just have Charlie do the time, and say it's foe the benefit of the kids.
@@beewalk34 Chucky ain't all that successful - he has been up in front of the FL board of dentistry a number of times for malpractice type stuff. He did not work full time at the Adelson institute because his father did not trust him to subtle and demanding cosmetic dental work (that's how I read it ) . So he was slumming it doing locum work all over town. However he was pretty rich by average US standards.
ALL the Adelson’s are Involved. Wendi drove to see that it was Completed. If innocent, she would’ve called Dan, the daycare and or 911. She didn’t do any of those things! Why….. because she’s in on it! Momma Donna started it, the rest finished it!
Four people in jail for life, plus the grandma on the way. One man dead, leaving his kids without their father. All this because the mom wanted to move 400 miles. Ridiculous
Somewhere along Wendi’s life someone convinced her “honey you have such large doe eyes anytime somebody questions you all you gotta do is spread those big doe eyes at them at it will melt their heart”. And she used that to the hilt during her entire testimony…but what she failed to realize is IT WAS OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE WHAT SHE WAS DOING.
Right….what supposedly made them kill Dan was th3 $1 Million offer ? Charlie tells Katie about the $1 Mil, Katie tells Seigfredo so he kills Dan & asks for only $100k ? And why is Katie only getting less than $1k a month from Adelson institute?
The purpose of the paychecks from the Adelson Institute was solely so her children would be eligible for Florida Medicaid. I.e., Medicaid fraud. That was a favor Charlie did for her. (Her payment for her role in the murder was cash and separate from her paychecks from the dentistry practice for doing no work there.)
Thanks for this video. I just watched the hour of cross examination on Charlie by the prosecution and had no idea about any details of the case. This was the perfect video to brush up.
It's also interesting that when Sigfredo called Katie afterwards to say it was done, she said, "I know". How could she have known? Because Wendi was hanging out in the neighborhood to make sure it was done. So Katie and Wendi were in contact on that day but I don't think that has been proven yet.
It’s tricky because the call from Sigfredo went to Katie at 12:30. Wendi didn’t get to the scene until about 12:45. (Maybe Katie only meant, I know you wouldn’t be calling me otherwise?)
the family is really smart in terms of their intelligence and professional careers, harvey dentist, charlie periodontist, estranged brother Robert (head and neck surgeon), Wendi lawyer. not sure what mom Donna does. obviously everyone except Robert arrogant or misguided or felt themselves above the law in their social IQ.
@@VoiceForTheSilenced your statement only applies to rich people. If the Adelsons were less well off, it wouldn't have taken so long for them to be arrested and those children would have been taken from them a long time ago
Wendy and her Brother plot all this and their parents absolutely knew about it because of the huge amount of money that was taken out from their business
I think her brother and their mother came up with the idea, and it didn't take them long to get Wendy on board as well. We'll probably never know the full story, but I hope they have enough evidence to lock up all involved for good.
That’s what I was thinking. It would be difficult - prep time-wise, to handle all of those people involved. Maybe they are wire-tapping them during the trial. Scared people make mistakes.
I bet every single person involved with this wishes they did not do this not because they cared about Dan but just because they realize they are finished. So evil.
Hey, Wendi … how did you like the glimpse into YOUR prosecution? You won’t be able to get your story together any better than your brother did. 😂 Go get ‘er, Georgia. And her parents.
Did anyone else notice Wendi shook her head “yes” while saying “of course not” when asked “was the murder of Dan a gift for your dad’s 70th birthday?” 0:05
Wendi as Donna needs to be next! If Wendi loved those kids she would never kill her kids father, she robbed them of that relationship because she’s a narcissist, she looks at them as possessions. I pray to god that she gets put behind bars and the mother too.
How does the defense explain away the money being deposited in Katie's account before the murder? The large sums. If it was a murder to extort then I would think all transactions would be after the murder.
LOL....when Wendi FIBBERS says "Of course Not" about Harvey Adelson's birthday gift being Dan Markel 's MURDER....Wendi FIBBERS is shaking her head YES....as she says "Of Course NOT". So guilty IMO
Hi ! I love the female prosecutor ! This is how you prosecute !! I don't know her name but she is on the case !!! Wow ! I have not ever seen a prosecutor with her insight, knowledge and determination to let ,"We the People" know what exactly what really happened to this father for just wanting to be a REAL father for his precious children !😢
After 3 or 4 years in a Florida prison on a life sentence, and the parents get tired of paying lawyers to pursue his appeals, Charlie will get fed up with his sister and parents living their best lives in South Beach .... and he will rat them all out.
Ive been watching every minute of this trial. Seems so obvious that Donna and Wendi were involved. Do you all think they'll be arrested at some point? Is there a statue of limitations for a conspiracy to commit murder? Asking for a friend:)
THere is no statute of limitations for murder in FL. However there is very restrictive legislation regarding wrongful death . so there is no civil suit option open to the Markels to cruel the Adelson family or Charlie's assets in the civil courts. The evidence that has evolved regarding Donna , particularly on day two of the trial leaves it open to charge her with second or first degree murder. I'm not sure about the situation with conspiracy to murder in FL. BTW Conspiracy to murder is a Federal offense too... that was one of the drivers of all the issues with getting Wendi to testify an why she had to have John Lauro , a very expensive lawyer, in court while she testified. The St of FL cannot give an indemnity against a federal prosecution. There's a mass of wheels and levers in here.. to quote Bert Cooper. it's inevitable that Donna will be arrested . Wendi has committed multiple counts of pejury. The SA should grow a pair and arrest her on that count as well. it's plain as day that she fed through the information on Dan's movements either direct to CA or to Donna . There is NO WAY that this information could be elicited from the ProfsBlog. Det. Sanford as called back on Day 4, about 5 hr into the testimony to establish this.
I’m most worried about them nailing Wendi. The evidence against her is the weakest. If they don’t get her I will be so angry because she is the reason the Adelsons hate him so much. We know Dan was a good guy who just wanted to be involved in his boys lives. So the only reason they could hate him with such vitriol is they’ve been fed horrific false information about Dan. She is the root of Satan.
They took those boys away from their daddy, and then they change their last names and also kept those babies from the grandparents. When those children get older and they start watching these videos on what their mother and the Mother family did to their daddy they are going to have a whole different outlook. I am so glad everything is on video for these boys to see that Justice is getting served for their father’s death!
Katie never worked at the Adelson institute and her checks from there were all for the same amount, and not large. You're reporting on this could be more accurate.
What I don’t understand is…if Wendi knew the hit was going down…why did she bring up Charlie and that “tasteless” joke of buying the TV in front of the police questioning her? Why bring immediate attention to Charlie from the get go?
I noticed today that Raushbum asked a bunch of questions to all the witnesses that they were like ‘what?’ Then he said let’s go on,,he was full of inconsequential questions today. Many “give me a minute judge” sidebars, breaks, terrible day. I just cannot see how the Adelsons cannot have set it up, truly why would Segfredo & Rivera travel 7-8 hrs to kill a man they don’t know, Katie has no money, they wouldn’t get paid for awhile IF they did at all, Donna signed all the checks & the reg pay was only 1k a month, the most she got was about 43k that year, SERIOUSLY doubt Segfredo & Rivera would kill for a few thousand, Rivera didn’t even want to do it. So of course it was a paid hit, by the ones that wanted their way & had millions.
It drove me up the dang wall...none of his questions, other than I believe one, were actual questions. They were statements with a ? At the end. It was obvious that he was pushing a narrative, and I don't believe that went over the jury's head. Why is he having to tell them everything they should already know, and this, testifying to?

That head tilt and constantly looks in a state of confusion from the most simple questions. The lady is highly educated, who is she fooling??? I find it very hard to believe that Wendi didn't tell Charlie to hire someone. Despite being a successful dentist, Charlie seemed like the trashier and more sleezeball than the rest of the family (according to their eyes). They'd probably rather just have Charlie do the time, and say it's foe the benefit of the kids.
@@beewalk34 Chucky ain't all that successful - he has been up in front of the FL board of dentistry a number of times for malpractice type stuff.
He did not work full time at the Adelson institute because his father did not trust him to subtle and demanding cosmetic dental work (that's how I read it ) . So he was slumming it doing locum work all over town.
However he was pretty rich by average US standards.
@@stopfairyfascism1267Interesting. Would you make it even more so by sharing why you think Wendi’s enviable?
@@F_Tim1961DR ELLIES PHILLIPS youtube channel PHENOMENAL 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆👍😊
11:03 IMMUNITY??? AND SHE TURNED IT DOWN!!! WOW. The lawyer just rubbing it in her face!! That's gotta hurt!
I can’t even imagine how painful that must be for her to think about.
ALL the Adelson’s are Involved. Wendi drove to see that it was Completed. If innocent, she would’ve called Dan, the daycare and or 911. She didn’t do any of those things! Why….. because she’s in on it! Momma Donna started it, the rest finished it!
*the Adelsons
She needs to be charged she absolutely knew
This family is scary! Especially her!
Prison about to get a new dentist.
Dentist about to lose some teeth.
@@Bearwithme560more than that
Free gold crowns to the inmates
😂😂😂😂
Entire family is caught red-handed......
Poor kids. This will leave a permanent scar on their souls. 😢What a horrible, selfish thing to do..
Four people in jail for life, plus the grandma on the way. One man dead, leaving his kids without their father. All this because the mom wanted to move 400 miles. Ridiculous
Charlie Adelson looks like Beetlejuice.
or Krusty the Clown.
As an 80 year old , the stupidity of people never fails to amaze me.
Somewhere along Wendi’s life someone convinced her “honey you have such large doe eyes anytime somebody questions you all you gotta do is spread those big doe eyes at them at it will melt their heart”. And she used that to the hilt during her entire testimony…but what she failed to realize is IT WAS OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE WHAT SHE WAS DOING.
And be sure to wear your blue contacts
😆@@luvlabso130
I think her eyes are empty
She has Marty Feldman eyes....she's creepy
True! Doesn’t everyone know someone like the Wind. I’ve met several. Annoying as heck! lol!
If the trio were trying to extort money from Charlie, why would it only be for $100,000, why not for millions?
Right….what supposedly made them kill Dan was th3 $1 Million offer ?
Charlie tells Katie about the $1 Mil, Katie tells Seigfredo so he kills Dan & asks for only $100k ? And why is Katie only getting less than $1k a month from Adelson institute?
Rashbaums lack of fantasy, I guess LOL
What kind of mother gets her son involved to 'murder' anyone?
Charlie thinks he's something he isn't.
No she never worked at the dental office. Money was for setting up hit and keeping quiet.
I call it HUSH MONEY it wasn’t extortion, or blackmail
The purpose of the paychecks from the Adelson Institute was solely so her children would be eligible for Florida Medicaid. I.e., Medicaid fraud. That was a favor Charlie did for her. (Her payment for her role in the murder was cash and separate from her paychecks from the dentistry practice for doing no work there.)
No Jury is going to believe his defence.
Thanks for this video. I just watched the hour of cross examination on Charlie by the prosecution and had no idea about any details of the case. This was the perfect video to brush up.
It's also interesting that when Sigfredo called Katie afterwards to say it was done, she said, "I know". How could she have known? Because Wendi was hanging out in the neighborhood to make sure it was done. So Katie and Wendi were in contact on that day but I don't think that has been proven yet.
It’s tricky because the call from Sigfredo went to Katie at 12:30. Wendi didn’t get to the scene until about 12:45. (Maybe Katie only meant, I know you wouldn’t be calling me otherwise?)
The wife is so cunning😞
the family is really smart in terms of their intelligence and professional careers, harvey dentist, charlie periodontist, estranged brother Robert (head and neck surgeon), Wendi lawyer. not sure what mom Donna does.
obviously everyone except Robert arrogant or misguided or felt themselves above the law in their social IQ.
Thanks, very good review of yesterday's high points!
The case boils down to one mistake Charlie made. He thought career criminal and professional criminal was the same thing
Even worse than that Charlie hired gangsters who eventually would turn on each other and snitch on Charlie.😮😮
Why hasn't Child Protection Services stepped in and removed the children and given them to Dan's parents??
Because the Adelsons have money
What’s right and what’s legal are two totally different things.
@@VoiceForTheSilenced your statement only applies to rich people. If the Adelsons were less well off, it wouldn't have taken so long for them to be arrested and those children would have been taken from them a long time ago
Wendi still has the right against her kids, she's still innocent up to this point
Wendy and her Brother plot all this and their parents absolutely knew about it because of the huge amount of money that was taken out from their business
Not only that, but Donna signed the checks 🫠
I think her brother and their mother came up with the idea, and it didn't take them long to get Wendy on board as well. We'll probably never know the full story, but I hope they have enough evidence to lock up all involved for good.
Why isn't Donna on trial?
She was arrested. She will be, soon.
Coming soon
Trial in Sept 2024
Charlie will be found guilty I am 99% confident.
1000%
He was found guilty
@@RukhShariq thank goodness
@@RukhShariqthank you for the update. Just learning about this case.
12:40 Charlie's attorney should write comedy. He's hilarious 😂😂😂
Why aren't Donna and/or Wendi being charged too?
She is taking them down one by one I think Donna is next.
That’s what I was thinking. It would be difficult - prep time-wise, to handle all of those people involved. Maybe they are wire-tapping them during the trial. Scared people make mistakes.
good thinking@@rebeccacampbell8020
Donna has been arrested!
This case is so crazy
I bet every single person involved with this wishes they did not do this not because they cared about Dan but just because they realize they are finished. So evil.
great synopsis of the entire case!!
Always great coverage ❤
Risking your entire life and freedom for about 30k demonstrates extreme stupidity
Hey, Wendi … how did you like the glimpse into YOUR prosecution? You won’t be able to get your story together any better than your brother did. 😂 Go get ‘er, Georgia. And her parents.
Did anyone else notice Wendi shook her head “yes” while saying “of course not” when asked “was the murder of Dan a gift for your dad’s 70th birthday?” 0:05
Yep!
there was also a micro smile
I bet their party invites have dried up over the last couple years.
Wow the Adelsons always so complicit. They bring amazing news to us every year. I can't wait to watch how this ends up.
Wendi as Donna needs to be next! If Wendi loved those kids she would never kill her kids father, she robbed them of that relationship because she’s a narcissist, she looks at them as possessions. I pray to god that she gets put behind bars and the mother too.
How does the defense explain away the money being deposited in Katie's account before the murder? The large sums. If it was a murder to extort then I would think all transactions would be after the murder.
Love the lady prosecutor.
She's brilliant!! She knows that 'Little Miss Innocent Doe Eyes' is in this, up to her neck!!
@@phoenixrising6245 Agree
Prosecutor Georgia is going to get Wendi....mark my words...
You know it’s funny… she is desperate to move to Miami to be close to family and now each family member is being sent to prison…one by one
At this point I dont understand how 3 people were convicted of murder for hire with out finding out who hired them.
*without
Charlie goes from champagne to pruno
She wasn’t working there.
Great overview.
Why did that despicable mother change the children's name,..because she and her family hated Dan that much.
So defensive wants us to believe that they took the initiative to put out a hit and then blackmail Charlie? 😂
On a man they didnt know at all
Great summary! I watched a lot of this trial, but I learned some things I didn’t know in this👏
LOL....when Wendi FIBBERS says "Of course Not" about Harvey Adelson's birthday gift being Dan Markel 's MURDER....Wendi FIBBERS is shaking her head YES....as she says "Of Course NOT". So guilty IMO
Getting the truth out of Charlie Adelson is like pulling teeth.
😂😂
@@jimparsons4312 🤝
They should have arrested him a day later 4/22/22 on Wendi’s birthday 😂
Early present for Wind.
Hi ! I love the female prosecutor ! This is how you prosecute !! I don't know her name but she is on the case !!! Wow ! I have not ever seen a prosecutor with her insight, knowledge and determination to let ,"We the People" know what exactly what really happened to this father for just wanting to be a REAL father for his precious children !😢
Both female prosecutors are very good.
@@SquadBostonFire Hi ! Thank you !
Her closing was on fire, rebuttal was even better
After 3 or 4 years in a Florida prison on a life sentence, and the parents get tired of paying lawyers to pursue his appeals, Charlie will get fed up with his sister and parents living their best lives in South Beach .... and he will rat them all out.
Ive been watching every minute of this trial. Seems so obvious that Donna and Wendi were involved. Do you all think they'll be arrested at some point? Is there a statue of limitations for a conspiracy to commit murder? Asking for a friend:)
Not that i am aware of
Seems to me it would be the same charges as Charlie and Katie
If not on earth then at judgment
THere is no statute of limitations for murder in FL. However there is very restrictive legislation regarding wrongful death . so there is no civil suit option open to the Markels to cruel the Adelson family or Charlie's assets in the civil courts.
The evidence that has evolved regarding Donna , particularly on day two of the trial leaves it open to charge her with second or first degree murder.
I'm not sure about the situation with conspiracy to murder in FL.
BTW Conspiracy to murder is a Federal offense too... that was one of the drivers of all the issues with getting Wendi to testify an why she had to have John Lauro , a very expensive lawyer, in court while she testified. The St of FL cannot give an indemnity against a federal prosecution. There's a mass of wheels and levers in here.. to quote Bert Cooper.
it's inevitable that Donna will be arrested . Wendi has committed multiple counts of pejury. The SA should grow a pair and arrest her on that count as well. it's plain as day that she fed through the information on Dan's movements either direct to CA or to Donna . There is NO WAY that this information could be elicited from the ProfsBlog. Det. Sanford as called back on Day 4, about 5 hr into the testimony to establish this.
I’m most worried about them nailing Wendi. The evidence against her is the weakest. If they don’t get her I will be so angry because she is the reason the Adelsons hate him so much. We know Dan was a good guy who just wanted to be involved in his boys lives. So the only reason they could hate him with such vitriol is they’ve been fed horrific false information about Dan. She is the root of Satan.
Ridiculous idea from defence - someone is trying to extort you, you go to the police. He didn’t, it was a payment
They took those boys away from their daddy, and then they change their last names and also kept those babies from the grandparents. When those children get older and they start watching these videos on what their mother and the Mother family did to their daddy they are going to have a whole different outlook. I am so glad everything is on video for these boys to see that Justice is getting served for their father’s death!
Parentless children for no reason smh so sad
Katie never worked at the Adelson institute and her checks from there were all for the same amount, and not large. You're reporting on this could be more accurate.
Thought the same.
She couldn’t make too much or her kids wouldn’t get free insurance
What I don’t understand is…if Wendi knew the hit was going down…why did she bring up Charlie and that “tasteless” joke of buying the TV in front of the police questioning her? Why bring immediate attention to Charlie from the get go?
I have been following this case for years and i have the same question.
Deflection
She’s an attorney. She had to know truth would come to light. She wanted to control the narrative so she gave them something to go on.
And she gave them a scapegoat. That lady didn’t hesitate.
I think it was part of her plan to look innocent.
I noticed today that Raushbum asked a bunch of questions to all the witnesses that they were like ‘what?’ Then he said let’s go on,,he was full of inconsequential questions today. Many “give me a minute judge” sidebars, breaks, terrible day. I just cannot see how the Adelsons cannot have set it up, truly why would Segfredo & Rivera travel 7-8 hrs to kill a man they don’t know, Katie has no money, they wouldn’t get paid for awhile IF they did at all, Donna signed all the checks & the reg pay was only 1k a month, the most she got was about 43k that year, SERIOUSLY doubt Segfredo & Rivera would kill for a few thousand, Rivera didn’t even want to do it. So of course it was a paid hit, by the ones that wanted their way & had millions.
It drove me up the dang wall...none of his questions, other than I believe one, were actual questions. They were statements with a ? At the end. It was obvious that he was pushing a narrative, and I don't believe that went over the jury's head. Why is he having to tell them everything they should already know, and this, testifying to?
When is the Netflix series coming out?
