00:00 The Day of Murder Conviction 04:48 Expert Breakdown 09:24 Charlie Adelson After the Verdict Catch up on the FACTS here: www.courttv.com/tag/charlie-adelson/?
These aren’t the conversations of innocent people: they are the conversations of people who thought they should have gotten away with it. Big difference.
I know very little about this case except the in-laws. Got together had son in law taken out. But why. How could professional people. Get together and do this. I get the x wife happens all the time. But all the in-laws. Why .
Charlie and his lawyer apparently never discussed how credibility works in a courtroom. Listening to his calls, it's almost like Charlie thought the trial was supposed to be like a boxing match (i.e., him and Georgia Cappleman duking it out ringside, etc.), and he was aiming with his testimony for a TKO.
Excellent observation. He thinks he can dip and dive and have the rest of us chase him around. The jury saw right through his hamster wheel of a testimony
There was another crime story where the husband blames his worker who overheard him say « I will pay ……dollars to have my wife ….. » and that worker did it. The husband claimed that it was an innocent remark, and that he was being extorted. OMG. Copycats.
He blames Georgia, he blames the jury but not once does he blame Katie, the one who he said supposedly planned the murder and extorted him for thousands of dollars. These calls are so telling. Charlie Adelson is not as intelligent as he thinks he is.
Hahah so true, he’s angry at jury and prosecutor for going with the evidence, rather than like what an innocent person would be, angry at the extortionist who supposedly concocted it all. Lol not once would he say, ‘damn Katie ruined my life with her lies’, nope it’s all the fault of the jury and prosecutor to be too smart to fall for for his lies.
Yes, the one most arrogant and evil minded to target Dan and because they decided to hate him, and ending up hurting the young kids. And if Wendi is convicted, these young boys will have lost their family. Psychologically affected. How cruel and selfish the Adelsons have been. Poor people with good morals and honesty far outweigh these wealthy idiots.
Exactly! No family members there at the trial of Charlie except Wendi because she had to testify and she left immediately! Speaks volumes! So glad Donna has now been arrested now!! Wendi, get ready, you’re next!
Yes..he keeps repeating how high profile the case is...Donna is the same way...when the undercover guy called her at the Dental office, she kept repeating how the admin girl in the office "was so sorry to bother her", as though Donna is the Queen of England..
They are shocked they couldn't fool the world this time. They are saying "What happened, we are masters at manipulating all our life. We never fail. We were so good this time too"
They talk like they should've been found not guilty, but they do not talk like innocent people. He doesn't profess his anguish at being convicted of a crime he didn't commit. He analyzes why his story wasn't believable to the jury and things like that.
They were tricked by We di, into believing that he needed to be murdered to protect her from abuse. It was a setup. Watch the movie called Body Heat. The setting for the movie, is also in South Florida. Lake Worth, West Palm Beach, Florida.
the daughter Wendi is guilty as sin, but they were very clever to have no recording with her when mom and son talked. Donna and her son were very careful as they knew their calls were being monitored soon after the murder, that whenever there was a development in the case, they would call each other and say they need to meet at an outside location and they never said one word more on the call about it. The daughter Wendi was fully aware of everything, but they just don't have any evidence to produce. But mom is running the whole show. She was a tough businesswoman. The weakest link was the girlfriend. The cops knew it, and that is why they came down heavy on her. If she had not broken, the cops would never have got justice on this case. The detectives did go over and beyond for this case. The son is right, if it was not a high profile case it probably would not got all the attention and total number of hours it took to bring this case to trial.
Did he actually say “everyone on the jury was from Tallahassee”? That’s how juries work. They pull from the county the trial is in. Dumba$$. I tested my family at Christmas today, my brother got my nieces boyfriend Bullet Bourbon. I asked if he got the recommend from Wendi….crickets. I asked if they followed the trial, no one knew what I was talking about. Charlie is high profile only in his mind. The majority of us don't even know who you are.
In another phone call he characterizes then as rednecks. In other words, they were "beneath" his exalted station in life, and had other "professionals" been on the jury, they would have found him "innocent". HIS ludicrous story about being blackmailed by Magbanua, and Mommy putting her on the payroll..... Jeezuz, he would have done better to say "yeah, i hired them to go up and beat him up a bit, but I had no idea it would end up in murder"...
I completely agree, even one jury I think did say that they vaguely recall the case when it was reported nearly a decade ago that there was a fatal shooting of some professor but it stopped there, and the judged ruled that that level of knowledge and awareness was fine. I’ve also heard from multiple people the same as you - most people would have no idea if you said the Adelson name and would probably be shocked that there is any sort of trial now for a death from all that time ago! They are obsessed with people being obsessed with them when most don’t even have a clue about a what Adelson who? 😂
Absolutely. The case is relatively well known, but most people still don't know about it. It doesn't affect people's everyday lives. The murder happened years ago. People may have heard about it in passing, but won't know details unless they care to listen. Many people don't watch the news regularly. Getting a jury who doesn't have a bias shouldn't be that hard.
yep! I believe she was the mastermind and instigated it all. All that money and so miserable. She had too many nice things and that is why she had a hard time leaving them. She should have left the country a long time ago. She would have been able to live her life as a free person in Vietnam and fought her extradition until she passed away.
Smart Charlie “beat” Georgia Cappelman on cross, yet he’s the one in prison for life without parole. Meanwhile, Georgia is enjoying the holidays with her loved ones 😂
What an insult to the jury! What an arrogant idiot to say the jury wasn't listening! Just because Charles didn't get the outcome he bargained on! Laughable!
@watchmejumpstart69 Well, the Adelsons might think they themselves are soooo intelligent yet they speak on the phone and reveal quite a bit despite surely knowing they are being recorded! Morons!! 🙄
Charlie, Donna & Harvey are even worse than we thought, because they’re upset because the jury didn’t let a cold blooded murderer off. And all 3 of them know Charlie is 100% guilty. They’re so currupt that they’ve seemingly convinced themselves that Charlie is innocent. They’re deeply evil, which is more disturbing than we knew!😮
@@marjorjorietillman856 Exactly! Can't wait for Donna's trial when they ask her why she wanted to flee to a non-extradition country? Wonder what fantasy answer she will give?😅
He is in his forties. Had a very nice glamorous life with fast cars etc....prison is going to be rough, until he dies. He complained the prison cell did not even have a window. What? This is a huge step down, no more boat rides at sea on the weekends...the rich really live it up in South Florida. Each morning he is going to wake up knowing he is not going to get out of the place alive. I wonder what happened to his nice set of wheels??
This man had the world at his fingertips. He allowed evil in and to overtake him. The mom is evil and old. The time she does will be nothing compared to his. May all involved be found guilty, lose every single penny, live long ugly lives and be seen as the monsters they are. My prayers with the children and the Dan Markel family the true victims.
Based on his actions and how he is described by people who have known him, he was already born with the evil in him. This is not the first time he has shown it. It is just the first time he didn't get away with it.
It still amazes me that such hatred runs deep in most people. Certainly we get to see theirs in full view. And others, just in youtube comments. Hate is hate no matter what side you're on.
Coincidences and oddities legally are not supposed to support a conviction. It's just the opposite. Jurors are supposed to err on the side of innocence. He had plausible explanations for every single thing the prosecution threw at him.
@@mickhammer8547 I appreciate and agree with the points that you made. I just didn't find the resultant story that he countered with was plausible. I will also say that our justice system is challenged in handling weird circumstances.
@@mickhammer8547he has zero explanation for why Dan Markel was murdered. The people he was blaming in his testimony had zero motive. He was not on trial because he was paying the killers. He was on trial for organizing and causing a murder.
My opinion on that is cuz they were pretty wealthy and were their own bosses with the ‘institute’. So they had a cash cow and everyone around them were their employees so no reality check for years upon years. They lived in an insulated bubble
Yeah Donna….if you felt so strongly in his innocence why didn’t YOU testify on his behalf???? But that might have meant added charges of perjury for you!!! Such an insufferable human being! “A very loving grandmother” (said Wendi) you are not!!!
Truly a family of narcissists. Every one of them thinks that the whole world revolves around them now heading towards "Poor Me" mode. I can't wait until Donna, Harvey and hopefully the worst of all of them, Wendy....
@@garfield2439He actually goes through the grieving process throughout all of the released jailhouse calls. He actually concedes that he likely won’t get an appeal since the judge hardly ruled against him. Still delusional though! Lol
He knows they got it right. He just couldn't bring himself to say I did it. If he w say" I did it. I wanted to help my mom and sister. I killed Dan for my family " he w feel alot better and at peace.
Did an awesome job testifying? He came across as arrogant, unsympathetic, ludicrous, just an unpleasant guy. With one of the worst defense theories I have ever heard of recently in courts.
Georgia and Sarah are both intelligent women who prosecuted Charlie and the jury found him guilty as charged. Charlie cannot accept that. He clearly resents it.
The delusion, arrogance, and condescension is astounding. The jury got this one right. I don’t know what will happen with Wendi, Donna and the Dad, but I firmly believe they were all in on Dan’s murder and full knowledge of the plan and what was going to happen. To that end, I pray for full justice for Dan Markel, his boys, and his family.😢
As a mother I cannot comprehend how this mother dragged her own children into committing that horrible crime And putting them, because I’m sure the daughter will also face consequences as well… I would fkn die from guilt and sorrow if I would do that to my kids.
"He's getting off because they have absolutely nothing"? says his dad. "Getting off" means he did it but he is getting away with it and they have nothing means they can't prove it. How about "He's getting acquitted because he is absolutely innocent"?
Poor Donna and Charlie, it wasn't because you two thought the jurors were just bunch of idiots. They had the evidence of charlie and they convicted him. All along Donna and Harvey was thinking let's get out of dodge. I'm so glad they caught her about to leave the country.
If you don't want to go to maximum security facility detention center, perhaps don't kill people, or pay to have them killed. Thinking he deserves special treatment is insane. I'm sure his fellow inmates would take it well when they find out he thinks he's above him.
Charlie thinks I lie so good, I should be acquitted. I been lying successfully all my life. He can't believe he didn't get an Oscar for the best performance of his life
He himself does not believe it after all, how many times since he was convicted have you heard him mention the word 'extortion'?. It never happened 😅😅😅
I'm also a bit shocked by the bullshit people were feeding him. I mean he did his best but he should've known it was a long shot. That story was unbelievable at its best
I don’t know how they could call Charlie a “mastermind” of absolutely anything! It was masterful, arrogant stupidity and incompetence that led to his arrest and ultimate conviction! I am really, really, really sure about that Charlie 🤷♀️
Didn't he testify that Katherine heard him talking about how they offered Dan 1 million dollars to move back down to Miami? He claims they heard that and took it upon themselves to off him and collect that cash offer themselves,
Listening to him blabber on and on about him banking on "reasonable doubt" from the jury is just beyond me. What he's actually expecting is a jury to find very UNreasonable doubt as reasonable... that's narcissism at it's finest.
Charlies lawyers told him all this BS, just to get his money....dont worry Charlie, btw here is another bill.... Even now they tell him his appeal will work.... btw, here is another bill...
Having an answer for everything is ok I think, its just his story wasn't believable. His actions were not congruent with somebody being extorted and the supposed motivations of those extorting him also didn't make much sense. If you want to extort you can just extort.... why make things so much more complicated and risky by killing somebody? None of it made sense
@@valetudo1569yup bad facts to work with they had to come up with some reason he gave Katie money, the crazy extortion story was probably only way they thought they could explain him giving her money
I like how Mr. Innocent's first beef with the verdict is that he was questioned about his girlfriend's occupation and age. Extremely relevant to an "innocent" man's wrongful conviction. I guess that's all he has.
I would think if we listened in to the phone calls of anyone just convicted of murder & facing a lifetime in prison we would hear the same conversation about how unjust the process & the bias jury etc. It’s what we should expect from people who commit such crimes.
The mom is so weird, she sounded really happy that he had his own cell. They really think that they have privilege in there and their case is sooooo high profile. Someone tell him a lot of cases are televised and he's not anything special. The narcissism is crazy.
This family is very arrogant and come across like they deserve better when in fact they are unrealistic and cruel. And listening to this conversation shows how they think they are above everyone else. Sounds like our present politicians, those that think they are above the law and should be treated differently. The Adelsons' hatred for Dan Markel was way beyond the sanity level. One would think Charlie with his education would know he would get caught. Again they must think they are special for some odd reason. Got news for you: they are below the humane standards.
Not only Charlie, but his sister is a lawyer for crying out loud! It boggles my mind that there were so many brains involved in this, one being a n actual lawyer, and nobody put their foot down and said "This is insane, we aren't killing that man.". I also think there is something very wrong with this family's morality that this idea ever made it past the start line....starting with the mother and how she raised her kids.
He was never going to get a fair trial, but then he was so sure that he was getting off, he gave his food and commissary away.. which one is it Charlie???
IN MY VIEW How could this secure family, who had EVERYTHING, throw everything away simply because their grandchildren's father and their daughter were fighting over custody rights in court. Instead of their grandsons father being killed, the Adelson's should have helped their daughter pay attorney fees. They had more than enough money to spend.
Oh my gosh , " accused murderer Donna Adelson" sweeter words were never printed, watching from Canada and have prayed for yrs Justice for Dan Markel, American Justice is Slow but Sure. "F" you Adelsons. 💔
Depends evidence some cases get solved in hours to days alot but alot unsolved cases even when know suspect takes long time this case inst even close like event Tupac case 27 years everyone knew who did it. Having evidence is way different especially when like adelson they have money to get lawyer.
I have listened to these many times and I never noticed her say until now “Charlie I’m so sorry I’m so sorry” and Charlie say “mom don’t say anything don’t even say anything”…. Charlie didn’t want her to say anything over the recorded lines that would implicate her and him. That’s his mother, telling him she’s sorry for asking him to do this deed and his life is ruined, but he’s a big boy he should’ve told his mommy. “No absolutely not”.
The Adelsons just thought they had a foolproof plan and were smarter than everyone else. Charlie especially cannot handle that his crappy lies were ineffective.
I think the sister masterminded this whole thing, including the arrest and conviction of her brother. How can she be so stupid as to go out of her way to the murder scene right after the murder? Noone is that incompetent. She conveniently mentions him in the police interview as someone who would want her ex-husband dead. And mentions the joke? Come on. The text messages between Wendi and her mother were Wendi cutting her mother loose. I think Charlie will turn on his sister.
I think the murder drive by truly was some kind of weird cosmic coincidence. If you listen to the structure and context of the conversation, Charlie rants on and on about it in character as if to impress on any would be listener - look see, coincidences do happen so in turn implying that his own coincidences were not far fetched and to be believed.
Not only would I be so mortifyingly embarrassed, ashamed, disgusted and much more at my actions that directly resulted in the senseless death of an innocent, defenceless individual, the father of my nephews no less smdh, but the very idea of engaging in bragedocious conversation with my parents, about what a historical case mine was and the after effects of such, would be just so far removed from absolutely anything I could possibly even contemplate discussing with anyone , much less my own damn parents who, let's not forget here, ALSO BOTH actively engaged in bringing about the demise of their grandchildrens father, and simply describing it in my comment is just so utterly unfathomable to me, and undeniably displays quite possibly a level of narcissism within this family in its entirety that's of mind blowing proportions. Have they no shame whatsoever?
No I don't believe they have shame..... You saw it on Donna's face during her preliminary where she showed such arrogance and like she couldn't believe that she's actually being treated this way😮
He really thinks he had a good performance on the stand. That’s the difference between doctors and professionals at the corporate and institutional level with investment banking or enterprise sales. He has no clue what a solid performance is. Picking teeth all day and convincing people for a living are vastly different.
What he should feel stupid about… Is falling for his sisters, tales of abuse at the hands of her ex-husband… She played the whole family like a fiddle…
There's no difference between the Adelson's clan and the Wagner Clan in Pike County; both are trashy. I wonder if Donna and Charlie can make inmate to inmate calls😅. I wonder how their Holidays without sunshine is going.
11:21 Charlie is speaking on his ex wife being 24 & 17 when he met her, Donna *gasps* loudly & Charlie says "WHAT IS IT?!?" Donna says..."oh...nothing" & then Charlie seems to catch himself & fix his exes age, "25, I mean she's 25 not 24". What's up there? Something.
You’ll never hear calls between inmates so don’t get your hopes up because they’re not allowed to make calls to each other number two of their cod defendants so they’re not allowed to have any contact whatsoever in anyway
The fact that people try to commit crimes like this in this day and age already shocks me. Ok his mom is old so she may not realize how far things have come since the 1970's but her kids do. Even one of them is a lawyer... the fact so many brains here and nobody tanked this idea as insane, is baffling
Every other inmate : my lawyer fucked me too. LMFAO ! These people’s brains are spinning & spinning trying to comprehend how they ( the superior beings ) have been caught & treated as if they are just the same as everyone else.

Everything he says is indicative of a person pondering why their lies didn’t work rather then as a person convicted of a crime they did not commit.
Well said !!!
👍💯
So true
Exactly
Yep!
"I did an awesome job testifying." When you do an awesome job testifying about an unbelievable story, it's still an unbelievable story.
He might as well have said “ I did an awesome job lying”
Best comment! He fabricated and practiced that story for a year and a half! How dare that jury not believe him!
😂😂😂😂 👍
What arrogance and patting himself on the back for himself and after what he has done, the hatred he has displayed.

Listening to his calls, it's almost like Charlie thought the trial was supposed to be like a boxing match (i.e., him and Georgia Cappleman duking it out ringside, etc.), and he was aiming with his testimony for a TKO.
His entire testimony was about Katie and the extortion yet he never mentions Katie in any of the phone calls. Very telling.
🤡 You don’t understand! Charlie says she told him to never bring it up! That’s why! Perfectly reasonable. Lol, Charlie is so dumb.
Excellent observation. He thinks he can dip and dive and have the rest of us chase him around. The jury saw right through his hamster wheel of a testimony
I love when others point out things I hadn’t thought of.
There was another crime story where the husband blames his worker who overheard him say « I will pay ……dollars to have my wife ….. » and that worker did it. The husband claimed that it was an innocent remark, and that he was being extorted. OMG. Copycats.
Of course his whole story was absurd that he and RashBum tried to spin do really think people are that stupid
Donna said "They weren't listening" That's all a jury does is listen.
Cholly!! U Lyin’ sack of dog crap.
No, Donna. They weren't listening to your BS, but rather listening to what made them decide you are guilty as hell.
I think she meant the jury doesn't listen to Charlie's LIES and BULLSHIT 🙄🤥
The funniest part of this conversation is that Charlie is disgusting about the cell in which they keep murderers 😂😂
They were listening. What she means is “they’re not believing our lies!”
What's funny is Donna has a pretty damn good idea that she's fleeing the country and she's acting like they're going to help him
oh yeah hes toast and she knows it right here
She has to stay on his good side. If he gets resentful he could testify against Donna and Wendy. I would. If I’m going down, we’re all going down!

Intelligent and smart are different qualities and not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Narcs always blame others when they're caught behaving badly.
They would rather die than admit they're at fault.
It's a very common narc trait.
Aweeee. The gift that keeps on giving. The Adelson family. One of America's premier crime families.
Yes, the one most arrogant and evil minded to target Dan and because they decided to hate him, and ending up hurting the young kids.

This man had the world at his fingertips. He allowed evil in and to overtake him. The mom is evil and old. The time she does will be nothing compared to his. May all involved be found guilty, lose every single penny, live long ugly lives and be seen as the monsters they are.
My prayers with the children and the Dan Markel family the true victims.
Based on his actions and how he is described by people who have known him, he was already born with the evil in him. This is not the first time he has shown it. It is just the first time he didn't get away with it.
The evil in him runs in the family.
It still amazes me that such hatred runs deep in most people. Certainly we get to see theirs in full view. And others, just in youtube comments. Hate is hate no matter what side you're on.
This says it all, right you are. Pure Evil. They deserve everything they get after they spent the last 9 years free!
The mom masterminded the murder. She will get plenty of time.
Just because you have an answer for every coincidence and oddity doesn't mean that you answers add up to a believable story.
his answers were silly too! they weren't believable they insult the intelligence of any one with half a brain cell
Bravo...
Coincidences and oddities legally are not supposed to support a conviction. It's just the opposite. Jurors are supposed to err on the side of innocence. He had plausible explanations for every single thing the prosecution threw at him.
@@mickhammer8547 I appreciate and agree with the points that you made. I just didn't find the resultant story that he countered with was plausible. I will also say that our justice system is challenged in handling weird circumstances.
@@mickhammer8547he has zero explanation for why Dan Markel was murdered. The people he was blaming in his testimony had zero motive. He was not on trial because he was paying the killers. He was on trial for organizing and causing a murder.
No one in the family has any self awareness
👍👍👍👍well said.
They were raised they are special and above others
They are so entitled it’s almost hard to believe. They kind of remind me of Alex Murdaugh and his family.
My opinion on that is cuz they were pretty wealthy and were their own bosses with the ‘institute’. So they had a cash cow and everyone around them were their employees so no reality check for years upon years. They lived in an insulated bubble
Robert does, and that's why he stepped way back from these people years ago.
Yeah Donna….if you felt so strongly in his innocence why didn’t YOU testify on his behalf???? But that might have meant added charges of perjury for you!!! Such an insufferable human being! “A very loving grandmother” (said Wendi) you are not!!!
Truly a family of narcissists. Every one of them thinks that the whole world revolves around them now heading towards "Poor Me" mode. I can't wait until Donna, Harvey and hopefully the worst of all of them, Wendy....
Wendi sounded poor mẹ on her podcast. She 's jealous of Dan even when he already dead . She sounds like I killed you but why I m still not happy.
@@jennypham3998 Jenny I agree with you wholeheartedly. Isn't this some family with the only normal, upstanding person dead??
Well SAID, so true...
Exactly.@@jennypham3998
He will probably brag. I bet Alec Baldwin will play me in a movie
He sounds so calm for a guy whose life is over
He is counting on the appeal
@@garfield2439He actually goes through the grieving process throughout all of the released jailhouse calls. He actually concedes that he likely won’t get an appeal since the judge hardly ruled against him.
Still delusional though! Lol
He knows they got it right. He just couldn't bring himself to say I did it. If he w say" I did it. I wanted to help my mom and sister. I killed Dan for my family " he w feel alot better and at peace.
Remember stages of grief? He’s still in the denial shock phase. It hasn’t sunk in yet at the time of these calls.
@@jennypham3998Exactly.
The audacity to complain about your conditions when you took an innocent man’s life.
Wow I was moved to tears about how Charlie gave away his tuna fish thinking he was going home. Sorry, Charlie!
lol 😂
Did an awesome job testifying? He came across as arrogant, unsympathetic, ludicrous, just an unpleasant guy. With one of the worst defense theories I have ever heard of recently in courts.
Georgia and Sarah are both intelligent women who prosecuted Charlie and the jury found him guilty as charged. Charlie cannot accept that. He clearly resents it.
The delusion, arrogance, and condescension is astounding. The jury got this one right. I don’t know what will happen with Wendi, Donna and the Dad, but I firmly believe they were all in on Dan’s murder and full knowledge of the plan and what was going to happen. To that end, I pray for full justice for Dan Markel, his boys, and his family.😢
As a mother I cannot comprehend how this mother dragged her own children into committing that horrible crime
And putting them, because I’m sure the daughter will also face consequences as well…
I would fkn die from guilt and sorrow if I would do that to my kids.
Donna Charlie Harvey were dragged into it by Wendi.
@@m_christine1070 Interesting, you see Wendi as the mastermind.
@@m_christine1070 Nobody dragged anybody! They were all into it! Therefore, they are all equally responsible.
Yep, all her whining!@@m_christine1070
Everyone sees Wendi’s lack of emails/texts as demonstrating her “innocence.” To me, it shows her guilt & setting up her family to take the fall.
Well-" you shouldn't have committed the crime "
"He's getting off because they have absolutely nothing"? says his dad. "Getting off" means he did it but he is getting away with it and they have nothing means they can't prove it. How about "He's getting acquitted because he is absolutely innocent"?
💯
Exactly like when some say I beat the case not im innocent.
Poor Donna and Charlie, it wasn't because you two thought the jurors were just bunch of idiots. They had the evidence of charlie and they convicted him. All along Donna and Harvey was thinking let's get out of dodge. I'm so glad they caught her about to leave the country.
Me too
If you don't want to go to maximum security facility detention center, perhaps don't kill people, or pay to have them killed.
Thinking he deserves special treatment is insane. I'm sure his fellow inmates would take it well when they find out he thinks he's above him.
That's the thing this man just paid for the murder i thought it doesn't put his responsability or get something to do with him,what a joke!
He thought he wouldn't be caught. This whole family should be in jail.
Charlie Never says “Katie lied.” Any innocent person would take umbrage and say it repeatedly!!!
Yup and thats because he's not really upset with her. He doesn't realize how telling his reaction is
Charlie thinks if you kill someone you should have a "fair shake" at getting off.
Yeah as long as you went about it the right way and left no trail to get caught..😂😂😂😂
Charlie thinks I lie so good, I should be acquitted. I been lying successfully all my life. He can't believe he didn't get an Oscar for the best performance of his life
Yeah, he said, "Georgua didn't even give me a chance in there". 😅😂 Like it's supposed to be a good sport match-up or something. Hah.
I can’t believe they thought people would believe the extortion story . 😱
He himself does not believe it after all, how many times since he was convicted have you heard him mention the word 'extortion'?. It never happened 😅😅😅
@@samsungmalaysia-up9mq yes lol
his only possible chance would have been putting blame on wendi . that she met Katie & must have conspired w/ her. the extortion excuse is laughable
I'm also a bit shocked by the bullshit people were feeding him. I mean he did his best but he should've known it was a long shot. That story was unbelievable at its best
@@valetudo1569 yea I think his lawyer was in it for money- even the lawyer went with the story.😩😩😩
I don’t know how they could call Charlie a “mastermind” of absolutely anything! It was masterful, arrogant stupidity and incompetence that led to his arrest and ultimate conviction! I am really, really, really sure about that Charlie 🤷♀️
💯❗
Calling Charlie a mastermind lacks any merit.
What trial were they watching? Crazy, delusional people!
To the jurors...you did a great job, you DID listen & came up with the RIGHT verdict....thank you!!
They never ask.....how did those guys know about Dan? Why did they pick him out to kill! Unreal
Didn't he testify that Katherine heard him talking about how they offered Dan 1 million dollars to move back down to Miami? He claims they heard that and took it upon themselves to off him and collect that cash offer themselves,
"They didn't give you a chance!" Well, you didn't give Dan Markel a chance, did you?
He thinks that if there is an alternative theory then a jury must acquit. What was Rashbaum telling these people?
Yes Donna,they had their minds made up. Wasn’t hard at all
Listening to him blabber on and on about him banking on "reasonable doubt" from the jury is just beyond me.
What he's actually expecting is a jury to find very UNreasonable doubt as reasonable... that's narcissism at it's finest.
Charlies lawyers told him all this BS, just to get his money....dont worry Charlie, btw here is another bill....
Even now they tell him his appeal will work.... btw, here is another bill...
Rashbaum will not be his appeal attorney.
Omg he did horrible on the stand. Arrogant as hell and had an answer for everything. And his defense story was beyond ridiculous!
Having an answer for everything is ok I think, its just his story wasn't believable. His actions were not congruent with somebody being extorted and the supposed motivations of those extorting him also didn't make much sense. If you want to extort you can just extort.... why make things so much more complicated and risky by killing somebody? None of it made sense
@@valetudo1569yup bad facts to work with they had to come up with some reason he gave Katie money, the crazy extortion story was probably only way they thought they could explain him giving her money
How do they still not realize all jail calls are recorded!!!
They know the calls are recorded.
I like how Mr. Innocent's first beef with the verdict is that he was questioned about his girlfriend's occupation and age. Extremely relevant to an "innocent" man's wrongful conviction. I guess that's all he has.
they know this is being recorded and they’re putting on a great show.
He feels stupid because he didn’t bounce before his arrest and relocate overseas outside extradition
They were all on a high! But didn’t bother to turn up and support him for the trial: the fall guy….Harvey sounds like an absolute creep. 🤮
I would think if we listened in to the phone calls of anyone just convicted of murder & facing a lifetime in prison we would hear the same conversation about how unjust the process & the bias jury etc. It’s what we should expect from people who commit such crimes.
She’s got the phone between her shoulder and her ear… So she can pack her bags with two hands…😂😂😂
I’m so glad he mentions ALL the things he planned, it shows ALL the wonderful things he gave up
The mom is so weird, she sounded really happy that he had his own cell. They really think that they have privilege in there and their case is sooooo high profile. Someone tell him a lot of cases are televised and he's not anything special. The narcissism is crazy.
What a dumb way to wrap up your life, in prison for murdering your sisters ex. That’s a disappointing ending.
Even the extra dose of disappointment by thinking all those years they got away with it 😂😂
The worst part is that the kids are almost 18 years old, in the next few years, the kids would be off to college and Wendi could do what she want.
*sister's
@@stfuplsok no hobbies I see
@@kari8187 don't be sad
Geez Charlie doesn't stop talking! It hasn't hit him yet that he's been found guilty and going to be in prison for life! 🤦
These mean people in Tallahassee put me in prison, mommy 😢😢😢😢
May they NEVER see the light of day again!!!!
He talks about a jury of his peers. Didn’t his attorney hire a jury consultant to pick the most appropriate jury for him?
That whole family is in the sewer .
This family is very arrogant and come across like they deserve better when in fact they are unrealistic and cruel. And listening to this conversation shows how they think they are above everyone else. Sounds like our present politicians, those that think they are above the law and should be treated differently. The Adelsons' hatred for Dan Markel was way beyond the sanity level. One would think Charlie with his education would know he would get caught. Again they must think they are special for some odd reason. Got news for you: they are below the humane standards.
Not only Charlie, but his sister is a lawyer for crying out loud! It boggles my mind that there were so many brains involved in this, one being a n actual lawyer, and nobody put their foot down and said "This is insane, we aren't killing that man.". I also think there is something very wrong with this family's morality that this idea ever made it past the start line....starting with the mother and how she raised her kids.
Netflix or HBO better be making a documentary about this case. It’s too fascinating for them not to.
I think he’s actually excited that this was such A HUGE CASE that he must be in protective custody like he’s proud 🤦♂️
Which trial were they watching? They are not only evil, they are also delusional.
Charlie should just go ahead and tell the truth about Wendi's involvement. What else does he have to lose?
Trust me neither one of these " ppl " are going to be in prison for the rest of their lives and let her get off scott free
Charlie thinks he has a chance of getting an appeal granted... Won't happen he had a very fair and clean trial.
@@sararahman7731 SCOT* free
So weird he scores himself on how well he lied not his innocence
He was never going to get a fair trial, but then he was so sure that he was getting off, he gave his food and commissary away.. which one is it Charlie???
It would only be fair if he got acquitted lol 😂
I just LOVE that he thought he was going home! @15:48
I’ve always heard that sociopaths end up in jail. And here it is!
Vast majority of sociopaths don't end up in jail
IN MY VIEW
How could this secure family, who had EVERYTHING, throw everything away simply because their grandchildren's father and their daughter were fighting over custody rights in court. Instead of their grandsons father being killed, the Adelson's should have helped their daughter pay attorney fees. They had more than enough money to spend.
Court TV Thank you for providing the text to the conversations. Other networks are not!
Oh my gosh , " accused murderer Donna Adelson" sweeter words were never printed, watching from Canada and have prayed for yrs Justice for Dan Markel, American Justice is Slow but Sure. "F" you Adelsons. 💔
Depends evidence some cases get solved in hours to days alot but alot unsolved cases even when know suspect takes long time this case inst even close like event Tupac case 27 years everyone knew who did it. Having evidence is way different especially when like adelson they have money to get lawyer.
I have listened to these many times and I never noticed her say until now “Charlie I’m so sorry I’m so sorry” and Charlie say “mom don’t say anything don’t even say anything”…. Charlie didn’t want her to say anything over the recorded lines that would implicate her and him. That’s his mother, telling him she’s sorry for asking him to do this deed and his life is ruined, but he’s a big boy he should’ve told his mommy. “No absolutely not”.
Donna: "Yes Charlie, this trial was a travesty...btw, I'll be taking a trip to Vietnam in a few days".
The jurors were REALLY REALLY REALLY SURE
Take a shot everytime he says high profile case. I swear he’s proud. He just loves hearing himself talk.
The whole family is delusional 😳
It’s how all guilty people think talk and react!!
They think/thought they would only be convicted if they had been found with the murder weapon in their hands!🥴
The nerve 🤦♀️
They're so out of touch that it's embarrassing. Jaysus.
The Adelsons just thought they had a foolproof plan and were smarter than everyone else. Charlie especially cannot handle that his crappy lies were ineffective.
I wonder if the bubble ever bursts with these kind of people , unless he admits what he did and shows remorse hes never gonna get parole
I think the sister masterminded this whole thing, including the arrest and conviction of her brother. How can she be so stupid as to go out of her way to the murder scene right after the murder? Noone is that incompetent. She conveniently mentions him in the police interview as someone who would want her ex-husband dead. And mentions the joke? Come on. The text messages between Wendi and her mother were Wendi cutting her mother loose. I think Charlie will turn on his sister.
I think the murder drive by truly was some kind of weird cosmic coincidence.
If you listen to the structure and context of the conversation, Charlie rants on and on about it in character as if to impress on any would be listener - look see, coincidences do happen so in turn implying that his own coincidences were not far fetched and to be believed.
Or Wendi just couldn't help herself. She knew she messed up, which made her tears more believable in the police interview.
@@Springreverb8You may be onto something there.
@@jesusisgod4992I think she was ordered to report on the hit.
100 percent. He will turn. No way will he sit for life. And not take a deal
Not only would I be so mortifyingly embarrassed, ashamed, disgusted and much more at my actions that directly resulted in the senseless death of an innocent, defenceless individual, the father of my nephews no less smdh, but the very idea of engaging in bragedocious conversation with my parents, about what a historical case mine was and the after effects of such, would be just so far removed from absolutely anything I could possibly even contemplate discussing with anyone , much less my own damn parents who, let's not forget here, ALSO BOTH actively engaged in bringing about the demise of their grandchildrens father, and simply describing it in my comment is just so utterly unfathomable to me, and undeniably displays quite possibly a level of narcissism within this family in its entirety that's of mind blowing proportions. Have they no shame whatsoever?
You're a good a writer
No I don't believe they have shame..... You saw it on Donna's face during her preliminary where she showed such arrogance and like she couldn't believe that she's actually being treated this way😮
@@Stevros999 Lol 🤣. Only if you appreciate bad grammar.
@@Krystal_Kleerdefinitely over the top and a bit self-centered. Like, who cares what is mortifying to you this isn't about you 🙄
@@TheVAULTofHORROR Quit drinking bong water. Who said anything about being mortified?
Donna started this whole mess . She thought she was better than everyone, and Charlie followed her like a lost dog
He really thinks he had a good performance on the stand. That’s the difference between doctors and professionals at the corporate and institutional level with investment banking or enterprise sales. He has no clue what a solid performance is. Picking teeth all day and convincing people for a living are vastly different.
What he should feel stupid about… Is falling for his sisters, tales of abuse at the hands of her ex-husband… She played the whole family like a fiddle…
There's no difference between the Adelson's clan and the Wagner Clan in Pike County; both are trashy. I wonder if Donna and Charlie can make inmate to inmate calls😅. I wonder how their Holidays without sunshine is going.
11:21 Charlie is speaking on his ex wife being 24 & 17 when he met her, Donna *gasps* loudly & Charlie says "WHAT IS IT?!?" Donna says..."oh...nothing" & then Charlie seems to catch himself & fix his exes age, "25, I mean she's 25 not 24". What's up there? Something.
Tallahassee is going to come for Donna too. 🤷🏽♂️
I want to hear Charlize’s jail cal after his mother got arrested!! I want to hear the jailbird to jailbird calls between him and his mother.
You’ll never hear calls between inmates so don’t get your hopes up because they’re not allowed to make calls to each other number two of their cod defendants so they’re not allowed to have any contact whatsoever in anyway
Poor Charlie he never thought the jury could put two and two together, he thought they needed his actual DNA to convict him 🤣
The fact that people try to commit crimes like this in this day and age already shocks me. Ok his mom is old so she may not realize how far things have come since the 1970's but her kids do. Even one of them is a lawyer... the fact so many brains here and nobody tanked this idea as insane, is baffling
Inmates: Why are you in prison?
Charlie: Lawyer f*cked me.
Every other inmate : my lawyer fucked me too.
LMFAO !
These people’s brains are spinning & spinning trying to comprehend how they ( the superior beings ) have been caught & treated as if they are just the same as everyone else.
His lawyer did screw him - by letting him testify.
It's up and its stuck for the maestro 😅
