I wonder if her status as an "uncharged co-conspirator" will change after this verdict? I really want Donna to go down, she's the reason for all of it.
What a disgusting family-Charlie, Wendi, and their parents. Justice is not served yet until Wendi is also charged with arranging her her ex-husband’s murder.
I actually believe it was between Donna and Charlie. Wendi obviously knew after the fact, but I have doubts if they told her ahead of time. She’s too much of a wild card.
@@parisite99 you are correct. They couldn't trust her with the details. I almost feel if she knew beforehand that she would not have agreed. After the fact she had no choice and even told chalie it was "sweet!" then deleted the message
I watch this over and over. I love the look of defeat in his eyes. Especially after all the grins and smirks he gave during the trial. Enjoy your new home, Charlie boy!!!
It's not over until Wendi is charged for first degree and no chance of parole. These people are just as manipulative as Gypsy Rose Blanchard. These are mentally disturbed, narcassistic and dangerous people.
What still blows my mind is that he genuinely believes his bs. He really thought he was smarter than everyone involved. I am so relieved this is over. Now, let’s get Wendi and Donna.
I’m sure the Adelson’s have poisoned those children’s’ minds against the Markels. Horrible people always leave some measure of control over their prey.
I'll never understand why they say the Jurors last names in open court for the entire world to hear when it's SO SO important to keep them anonymous. Is it really that difficult to assign numbers to them like many courts do? Baffling!
He truly thought he was too smart to be caught. He had answer for everything but the jury did not buy it. It did not take long to determine this case. Now get the rest of them, especially Wendy and her mother. To kill a man because he wants to be part of children’s life on a regular basis. To kill a man because you want to go live with your parents, how privileged is that. Please press charges on Wendy.
Since Donna kept the pressure up on her kids with her evil ways, nobody in law enforcement should rest until at least Donna is behind bars awaiting trial. She probably won't make it to her trial date. The pressure will be overwhelming.
This is proof that this was NEVER about the children,but selfishness, control and greed on the parts of all involved with the murder. So extremely sad.😭
The CHILDREN are forever warped. They talked with Charlie for hours while he sat in jail waiting for his trial date for murdering their father. Take if from someone who has been through this kind of mind control with their child. There is no undoing the damage that has been done to the kids minds.
I totally agree with you, if it would be about the boys, in the 1st place they would never got him murdered. What was hurting to all of the Adelson was the money that they were spending in order to see the children. They did their numbers then decided to offer to pay a million dollars to Dan like buying a merchandise. The Adelson are that low level.
Thank you jury! You did your jobs and came to the correct verdict. Congratulations to the prosecution. I hope they come after Donna and Wendi now. I hope this gives Dan’s family some sort of peace. Rest more peacefully now Dan. A brilliant man and awesome father. Connie G.
Donna will likely be next. As for Wendi and Harvey, I think it unlikely. Their involvment is is dubious. I don't think there is much doubt that Wendi knew about the murder prior to Dan being killed, but her involvment in the planning and execution of that murder is an unknown. I don't think there is enough evidence for Wendi or Harvey, but the evidence for Donna is almost as strong as it is for Charlie.
@@Niko-xz5lk Good point. I also think they'll go after Donna next and see what comes out of that trial in respect to Wendy. However now that her brother is convicted he will sit in prison getting bitter about the whole situation and may testify against Wendy in the future. So I personally think there will be a case against her at some point.
I’ve never heard the judge read out the jury’s’ last names out loud. They’re normally assigned a number? Tf? This is such a breach of complete confidentiality that jurors are supposed to have
Waste, waste of his life over his spoiled sister, mother and father who had means to travel to see grandchildren. His sister couldn’t handle shared custody. She’s next on the dockets
Hes a big boy he could have defied mommy and take a stand anytime during this conspiracy to kill Dan, but he didnt. Theyre all 100% guilty no matter how small of a part they played in this

Right? Especially those where Donna was talking with Charlie about murdering their dad and then pausing in the call to coo at them about “Unkle Charlie”. Sick-making.
And she changed their last names because of the “media attention”…. BS. I hope when they’re old enough to understand all of this, they will go back to their family name and carry on Dan’s legacy. ☹️
Thank goodness for Dan's neighbor, Mr. Geiger, for looking out his picture window & seeing the Prius. That's what started the search. Good for the investigators to use city bus cameras to identify the car. Absolutely brilliant! Charlie thought he was smarter than the FBI
@mariaquispe9923 He was living life like a playboy. He obviously had no desire to settle down. He was making $800,000 to $900,000 a year, had Ferraris, Land Rovers, Mercedes-Benz and women were throwing themselves at him. And now he's in prison for life.
@@Japplesnap He didn't have an amazing life at all. He suffered from low iq. And the worst curse in existence is having a low iq and a lot of money. The money makes the low iq person extremely confident and cocky. And there is no cure for their stupidity at that point. I would rather be poor and smart.
I think he performed well on the stand, as others have said, but the story of an on-spec hit to frame him so as to then extort him is just outlandish, and his responses to the claimed extortions didn't fit with my view of how an innocent person would respond. I'm not sure Wendi's a very nice person. Maybe she didn't know, but if you watch her police interview she happily slipped into providing a very detailed alibi without asking any questions about what had happened and how he was, suggesting she was already mentally prepared to give her alibi. It's notable that she didn't think of attending the hospital herself or procuring a friend/rabbi to visit him until it was suggested by someone else, even though she knew he was "very religious". I think there's a problem getting "beyond reasonable doubt" with her though.
Totally agree, keep in mind that Wendi provided Dan's schedule, also was very curious about her boyfriend Jeffrey at that time, schedule to his trip to Tallahassee, it is clear to me that there was and intention to set him up.
Thank you so much to the jury and the state!!!! I have been following this case since Dan was killed and today is a good day. It doesn't bring Dan back, but it is one step closer to justice for this innocent father whose last moments of his life were spent suffering
Me too! I am remember the day when they said a professor was shot. He was fighting for his life. From that day it was so apparent that it was an organized hit. Because it was morning in his garage. Such a young, handsome, intelligent father! I pray that they arrest Wendy then Donna. Watching her interrogation is nauseating. She is the covert mastermind who knew how to pull her mother and brothers strings.
He was so arrogantly used to being above the law... and willing to let the BIPOC co-conspirators go to prison for his masterminded scheme. Thank you, Jurors, for your service!
He really thought he was smarter than everyone else. He thought he’d get up there and talk his way home. Arrogant and cocky like Murdaugh. Bye Charlie! One Adelson down, 2 more to go! And hopefully the Markel(yes I know Wendy changed their names to Adelson now) will learn the truth about them all and reconnect with the Markels and learn about their father. How not even offering him money would he let them go. He loved those boys
I feel sorry for charlie. Lived for satan and was caught in his trap. He was so confident in his foolishness. His mother is to BLAME 100%. She masterminded the whole thing by agreeing to his plan. The children should end up with the Markles.
He allowed Satan to influence him then he used his free will to do the demonic bidding. Of course satan hates him too and used it to take him to prison. All Glory to the Most High God for earthly justice Arrest Donna and Wendi now. Try them together. Then they would have to twist two separate stories as one won’t fit for both. Then they both go down!
Robert Adelson is vindicated for being estranged from his family, specifically his controlling mother. Sorry, Charlie. Your mother sold you down the river.
The fact that he was smiling at several points during this trial helped show just how pompous and seemingly untouchable he thought he was, also crazy to me that his attorney took this case after seeing the facts, he was obviously holding out for one juror to not agree with the other 11, or he saw a huge payday, I’d suggest the latter……..
Wow, lol. So you seriously think that he's pompous and that he also believed he's untouchable even though he was arrested and being prosecuted in court while on trial for murder all because the man "smiled" a few times? I couldn't imagine what you'd have thought if God forbid he'd had laughed a few times as well. You do know that he's still human even if he did take part in a plot to murder a man(not cool at all) and that he still has emotions and will continue too even in prison.
@@TheMcLeansterThat's nonsense. Go watch when the prosecutor was giving closing arguments. Him and his attorney were clearly seen chuckling with Cheshire cat smirks and smiles . It was extremely disrespectful. But he's not smiling now is he ??
He really thinks he's invincible and larger than life. It's one of the reasons he orchestrated a murder. I think it fed his ego and made him feel powerful.
Disappointed he got caught and no one believed his lies. If he was *truly* innocent, he’d be beating that table, crying, and grasping at his attorney for help. People are wrongly accused AND convicted. I don’t believe for a second that is the case here. Now they need to get the Mom and Wendi.
May Dan rest a bit more peacefully tonight. My heartfilled thanks to the prosecutors for perservering to extract this 4th step in this 7 step process. Hope that poisonous person masquarding as a mother and a human being is lined up to face justice next. May Gods blessing be showered up the hardworking prosecution team.
Lol right?! U gotta love his "NO" reaction when the guilty verdict is read. Like dude seriously?? Did he genuinely expect anything different after that ridiculous defense he tried to sell to the jurors??!! 😄😄😄
He did this because of his arrogance and to be a hero for Wendy and Donna. There was no concern for anyone as long as this toxic family got what they wanted. Wendy and Donna need to be put on trial as co-conspirators they were the driving force.
Charlie allowed himself to be manipulated by his mother and Wendi into murdering Dan because Wendi who promised for better or for worse couldn't be bothered to keep a kosher kitchen. Really, that's all it boiled down to. It would have been less heartbreak and less money to have hired a cook instead of buying a TV.
And how could somebody reasonably believe in their own mind that they would be found not guilty with this kind of evidence, they would have to be delusional or an extreme optimist.
this guy and his sister had never a chance in life whatsoever by having such a vile mother controlling their lives and angry when she doesn't get her way . but again , he was a full grown healthy man , very well educated so he knew exactly what he was doing .
What!? The attorney can't even fake it and sit close to his client to say he's sorry ??? I guess the check's cleared and that's all he was worried about. Charlie thought he had a hot-shot lawyer LOL....
The smile on my face portrays pure satisfaction. Justice for Dan. Congratulations to a job well done by the State. Donna has been indicted and Wendi can't possibly be sleeping well.
I can’t believe anyone even tries something like this in this day of technology and incredible law enforcement investigative skills. You’re ALWAYS going to be caught. Duh.
@RomanKOZAK-ef1up I don’t know why or how that happens. It has to be the difference in investigators. I’m not saying one is right and the other is wrong - I’m saying that is the only variable in a murder investigation.
Honestly he made a foolish mistake testifying. The strongest point of his case was "was the money paid to the killers his". When he took the stand he confirmed it was his and his reason bordered on ridiculous and absurd. If he had not testified he might have gotten that one juror. Mr Adelson I sincerely hope you get the help you need in prison to turn your life around. Glad the jury did their job.
I can’t believe he gave all his food away thinking he was getting out, and then expected the prisoners to give it back when he was found guilty. What an entitled tool.
1. she drove there after the murder to see if the job was done 2. she wanted to frame her bf jeff, asking him which route he was gonna take to the airport 3. she even let them rent the same car as jeff was driving 4. she wrote charlie "this is so sweet" shortly before the murder @@lobesi83
She adamantly stated that no one in her family was involved in Dan's murder. The fact you could still argue that after all of the obvious evidence, the wire taps and videos, is proof enough to me, she's just as guilty.
It’s not over yet! This verdict is just the beginning. Donna will be indicted before the years end and Wendi will be too at some point. She’ll be the last domino to fall but it’s coming.
He's probably used to women in their town throwing themselves at him because of his family and money and he thought that meant he was charismatic or charming lol
You're right about donna being evil, however, Charlie was easily manipulated. It's Dave who had a lot going for him, and his life was taken from his children unnecessarily.
Ahora que se haga justicia en las personas de la ex esposa y la ex suegra. Pensaron que iban a dejar impunemente a los niños sin su padre. Gran trabajo en el aparato de ley y justicia de La Florida.
I am so thankful for all the hard work,long hours and dedication the prosecutor and defense, the jury,Law& Crime, Addi & Mod's ,& Chat. Thank you so very much for putting in what you did and for putting up with me 😊 I hope you all have a beautiful night ❤
I wonder if Donna, Wendi, and Harvey are having a celebration dinner tonight. Going over the extortion story so when they're all arrested they'll have their stories right. The theory the defense came up with was laughable at best. Justice for Dan was served. Thank you Jurors for getting it right!!!
It was a ridiculous defense. Even those hee-haws from the land Wendi disdained as God-forsaken could see that, hyuck-hyuck-hyuck. I bet Wendi will try for a change of venue 😂
Oh wow, you were a part of that crew who actually thought Charlie's story was somewhat believable hey? LOL. Yikes! Thank God the jurors had a little bit of common sense and weren't complete idiots 😮
I've never seen that either but I guess a last name doesn't really identify them unless the last name is like Van Ben der Buigen de Malghsa (yes totally made that up).
I hope the Markels are relieved by this verdict. Now, let's get all the Adelsons behind bars. They are all accomplices...Charlie is pitiful. He blew his wonderful life by taking another's and causing so much sadness.
He is so arrogant and narcissistic that I think he was sure his ridiculous story would be enough for reasonable doubt. He looked shocked which tells you how sure he was of himself.
Yesssss!!! GUILTYYYY!! The jury got it right for sure!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I quite enjoyed seeing his face when guilty was read out!! You can’t expect to get away with something that you are clearly guilty of. He thought he could take the stand and talk his way out of it..😂
And this man is supposed to be “intelligent”? What a foolish man. To think he could get away with murder…to risk the privileged life he is was enjoying…his education and subsequent dental practice…his beautiful home..his freedom…to commit MURDER. What I see in his face is regret…not regret that he took a man’s life..but regret that he got caught…and probably now..regret that he went down this evil path. He is where he belongs…and justice will not be served until his evil Mom and sister are locked up, too. Rest in peace, Dan Markel.
FINALLY. And now, let’s hope the rest of the dominoes fall into place quickly. There should be indictments handed out TOMORROW to the rest of the Adelson tribe. At this point with all of the guilty parties, the state of Florida will have to establish “The Adelson Wing” in the penitentiary for all of the incoming incarcerates.
Finally! Been following this for a while and glad to see they got more people that were involved. Interesting to see what will happen to the rest of the Adelson family.
@@christie6488 nope. It doesn’t work that way. No one I repeat no one approaches the jury except the Bailiff. Even the Bailiff isn’t supposed to talk unless otherwise he/she is instructed by the judge.
@@christie6488 That seems extremely unlikely. More likely they knew that the jury wouldn't have a verdict this quickly unless they didn't buy the defense and thought he was guilty
Charlie knew he was done when the defense gave their closing arguments. The defense explained the Adelson’s plot so precisely Charlie himself was nodding in agreement with their explanation. His face then already showed defeatment.
I am shocked. The judge just announced every single jurors name to the public. I thought juror identity was kept as private as possible. I realize told anonymity is impossible but just announcing their names to millions of people. YIKES!!!

Maybe she didn't know, but if you watch her police interview she happily slipped into providing a very detailed alibi without asking any questions about what had happened and how he was, suggesting she was already mentally prepared to give her alibi. It's notable that she didn't think of attending the hospital herself or procuring a friend/rabbi to visit him until it was suggested by someone else, even though she knew he was "very religious". I think there's a problem getting "beyond reasonable doubt" with her though.
How is it justice for Dan - he's dead! Maybe justice for his family but not a whole lotta justice gonna be appreciated by Dan from beyond the grave!
@@SloverOfTeuthSpot on
The evil ex-mother-in-law should be on trial next. She knew he was doing it and was all for it.
Totally agree, keep in mind that Wendi provided Dan's schedule, also was very curious about her boyfriend Jeffrey at that time, schedule to his trip to Tallahassee, it is clear to me that there was and intention to set him up.
@mariaquispe9923 oh I don't know how I forgot that part. Ugggh they are just disgusting people.🤮
And Wendi!
Thank you so much to the jury and the state!!!! I have been following this case since Dan was killed and today is a good day. It doesn't bring Dan back, but it is one step closer to justice for this innocent father whose last moments of his life were spent suffering
Me too! I am remember the day when they said a professor was shot. He was fighting for his life. From that day it was so apparent that it was an organized hit. Because it was morning in his garage. Such a young, handsome, intelligent father! I pray that they arrest Wendy then Donna. Watching her interrogation is nauseating. She is the covert mastermind who knew how to pull her mother and brothers strings.
@@MortgageGirl7Wendi is the most heartless
He was so arrogantly used to being above the law... and willing to let the BIPOC co-conspirators go to prison for his masterminded scheme. Thank you, Jurors, for your service!
Facts!
He should’ve stuck with just giving her the TV!
People need to think twice before committing such a crime
I wouldn’t even think of it once!
How about keep thinking about it until you realize it's f*cking idiotic!!
👍
I bet Charlie is thinking about it, but it is too late, he thought he was so smart to get away with the murder but now he is a jail bird to the end.
I'll bet he wished he never did it
Jury didn't mess around.
Wasn’t a hard one was it?
@CMJames No, it wasn't, but you never know what a jury is gonna do.
I think if you let high schoolers listen to the case they would vote guilty in 3 hours too.
He really thought he was smarter than everyone else. He thought he’d get up there and talk his way home. Arrogant and cocky like Murdaugh. Bye Charlie! One Adelson down, 2 more to go! And hopefully the Markel(yes I know Wendy changed their names to Adelson now) will learn the truth about them all and reconnect with the Markels and learn about their father. How not even offering him money would he let them go. He loved those boys
I feel sorry for charlie. Lived for satan and was caught in his trap. He was so confident in his foolishness. His mother is to BLAME 100%. She masterminded the whole thing by agreeing to his plan.
The children should end up with the Markles.
I think mommy Donna was originator of the murder idea too! She set her son up to fry for her own narcissist selfishness! What mother does that? 😮 🤦♀️
I don't feel sorry for him at all. And it's just Donna, but Wendy as well.
Yes, he definitely allowed Satan to use him!
A weak man manipulated by multiple women in his life
He allowed Satan to influence him then he used his free will to do the demonic bidding. Of course satan hates him too and used it to take him to prison.
All Glory to the Most High God for earthly justice
Arrest Donna and Wendi now. Try them together. Then they would have to twist two separate stories as one won’t fit for both. Then they both go down!
Thanks to the court, prosecution, and jurors! You took another criminal off the streets! Dan may you rest in peace.
Dan s smiling, he says 3 more to go. Although I feel like Dan s telling the Karma judge to let his children grow up first before coming for Wendy.
Now get Granny!
Robert Adelson is vindicated for being estranged from his family, specifically his controlling mother. Sorry, Charlie. Your mother sold you down the river.
She sure did.
Is Robert the brother?
I didn't know there was a brother. He dont talk to his crazy family ? Tell us more 😳
@@snowblo1 Yeppers.
I heard the older brother left the family due to them not liking his choice in a wife. They gave him such grief he became estranged
Where TF are wendi and their mother? Their absence says alot about them! If they both don't get charged and convicted as well that would be some bs
The state has a long-term plan.
They are figuring out whether to unalive themselves or flee to Antarctica
Their absence means not support to Charlie, it speaks out that they will turn the table to each other. Wait until they are put in jail.
Exactly, If he was so innocent. Why not be there to support your son and brother? It just shows....
They are planning to runaway to get away with it.
The fact that he was smiling at several points during this trial helped show just how pompous and seemingly untouchable he thought he was, also crazy to me that his attorney took this case after seeing the facts, he was obviously holding out for one juror to not agree with the other 11, or he saw a huge payday, I’d suggest the latter……..
Wow, lol. So you seriously think that he's pompous and that he also believed he's untouchable even though he was arrested and being prosecuted in court while on trial for murder all because the man "smiled" a few times? I couldn't imagine what you'd have thought if God forbid he'd had laughed a few times as well. You do know that he's still human even if he did take part in a plot to murder a man(not cool at all) and that he still has emotions and will continue too even in prison.
He wasn't just smiling he was actually laughing and admitted he was when she asked him! I'll never understand why he testified.
@@honeyowen3163 agreed.
@@TheMcLeansterThat's nonsense. Go watch when the prosecutor was giving closing arguments. Him and his attorney were clearly seen chuckling with Cheshire cat smirks and smiles . It was extremely disrespectful. But he's not smiling now is he ??
He really thought he was going home in fact he gave away all his belongings back at the jail. I love it
He really thinks he's invincible and larger than life. It's one of the reasons he orchestrated a murder. I think it fed his ego and made him feel powerful.
@@Redneckgirl74👍
Charly is in total shock 😲
Guilty first degree murder. Guilty of conspiracy to commit first degree murder,guilty of solicitating for first degree murder
So guilty of wanting to kill someone, talked and planting the murder and paid for it.
Disappointed he got caught and no one believed his lies. If he was *truly* innocent, he’d be beating that table, crying, and grasping at his attorney for help. People are wrongly accused AND convicted. I don’t believe for a second that is the case here. Now they need to get the Mom and Wendi.
Those women are evil and smart, so it would be harder to convict them as the mastermind.
May Dan rest a bit more peacefully tonight. My heartfilled thanks to the prosecutors for perservering to extract this 4th step in this 7 step process. Hope that poisonous person masquarding as a mother and a human being is lined up to face justice next. May Gods blessing be showered up the hardworking prosecution team.
Until Wendi is also arrested there will never be closure.
I can't believe he actually thought his ridiculous defense was going to fool anyone.
Lol right?! U gotta love his "NO" reaction when the guilty verdict is read. Like dude seriously?? Did he genuinely expect anything different after that ridiculous defense he tried to sell to the jurors??!! 😄😄😄
He had no choice, he had to think of a story that fit the evidences
True Justice for Dan Markel and his family has been served today
Mother drove this, Sister threw him under the bus, and Katie -his worst n8ghtmare.
He did this because of his arrogance and to be a hero for Wendy and Donna. There was no concern for anyone as long as this toxic family got what they wanted. Wendy and Donna need to be put on trial as co-conspirators they were the driving force.
He really thought he could talk his way out of this lol
Charlie allowed himself to be manipulated by his mother and Wendi into murdering Dan because Wendi who promised for better or for worse couldn't be bothered to keep a kosher kitchen. Really, that's all it boiled down to. It would have been less heartbreak and less money to have hired a cook instead of buying a TV.
Justice served.
Agreed!! 👍🏻
I'm with you 💯
In this moment, Charlie realized that his life was over and wished he could back the clock of time.
He had to know that a guilty verdict was coming... because the jury came back quickly (usually a sign that guilty is where it is going)
He’s so arrogant, he was shocked by the verdict!! This was beautiful!! May Professor Dan Markel rest in peace! 🙏🏾🙏🏾Now, let’s go get Donna!
Yup! Usually a very bad sign! I thought we wouldn’t see a verdict until tomorrow! Ohh😮 what a shocker all around!
Jury heard enough lol
And how could somebody reasonably believe in their own mind that they would be found not guilty with this kind of evidence, they would have to be delusional or an extreme optimist.
The fact that even for just a second he believed that the UNANIMOUS decision by the jury would be not guilty is disgusting
this guy and his sister had never a chance in life whatsoever by having such a vile mother controlling their lives and angry when she doesn't get her way .
but again , he was a full grown healthy man , very well educated so he knew exactly what he was doing .
I lived long enough to see a Florida jury get one right.
👍
I agree! Florida has let a few slip through! 😮
What!? The attorney can't even fake it and sit close to his client to say he's sorry ??? I guess the check's cleared and that's all he was worried about. Charlie thought he had a hot-shot lawyer LOL....
What are you talking about? He was sitting right next to him.
The smile on my face portrays pure satisfaction. Justice for Dan. Congratulations to a job well done by the State. Donna has been indicted and Wendi can't possibly be sleeping well.
I can’t believe anyone even tries something like this in this day of technology and incredible law enforcement investigative skills. You’re ALWAYS going to be caught. Duh.
@RomanKOZAK-ef1up
I don’t know why or how that happens. It has to be the difference in investigators. I’m not saying one is right and the other is wrong - I’m saying that is the only variable in a murder investigation.
The prosecution did a first class job well done.
Honestly he made a foolish mistake testifying. The strongest point of his case was "was the money paid to the killers his". When he took the stand he confirmed it was his and his reason bordered on ridiculous and absurd. If he had not testified he might have gotten that one juror. Mr Adelson I sincerely hope you get the help you need in prison to turn your life around.
Glad the jury did their job.
That’s what I was thinking. He should have remained silent.
@@l.a.w.79 l think he saw the trial was going badly for him and he thought he could turn it around by taking the stand.
I missed how Siegredo supposedly found him? Glad he was found guilty. On to Wendi and her Momma (in their "Nazi" uniforms.
lawyers hardly ever advise the defendant to take the stand. Charlie may have insisted.
No , He did not , He had no choice
Now for Donna
He’s not laughing now 😂😮😂😅
I can’t believe he gave all his food away thinking he was getting out, and then expected the prisoners to give it back when he was found guilty. What an entitled tool.
I don't know how Wendy was not charged with anything at all... She clearly has guilty knowledge!
I dont know the details but she has some sort of limited immunity.
Yet
1. she drove there after the murder to see if the job was done
2. she wanted to frame her bf jeff, asking him which route he was gonna take to the airport
3. she even let them rent the same car as jeff was driving
4. she wrote charlie "this is so sweet" shortly before the murder
@@lobesi83
She adamantly stated that no one in her family was involved in Dan's murder. The fact you could still argue that after all of the obvious evidence, the wire taps and videos, is proof enough to me, she's just as guilty.
It’s not over yet! This verdict is just the beginning. Donna will be indicted before the years end and Wendi will be too at some point. She’ll be the last domino to fall but it’s coming.
Perfect! He just really thought he could charm the jurors. I’m not sure where his confidence comes from: he’s so unappealing
Right!! Lol. I guess it was his money.
He's probably used to women in their town throwing themselves at him because of his family and money and he thought that meant he was charismatic or charming lol
Where are all the not guilty people now? Justice for Dan!
😂 right! Only they were buying that ridiculous story he was selling.
They were just trolling. No sane person thought this man was innocent except maybe the fan girls that have a weird kink for criminals.
Exactly 💯
Donna is one EVIL MOTHER. She is the reason for this. Charlie had a lot going for him.
You're right about donna being evil, however, Charlie was easily manipulated. It's Dave who had a lot going for him, and his life was taken from his children unnecessarily.
Ahora que se haga justicia en las personas de la ex esposa y la ex suegra. Pensaron que iban a dejar impunemente a los niños sin su padre. Gran trabajo en el aparato de ley y justicia de La Florida.
¡Qué chévere!
Well said
Lo triste es que la justicia tarde tanto que en estos 10 años los niños están siendo criados por los asesinos de su padre.
Was he surprised???? Did he thought killing somebody is not a crime or he thought he was smarter that people?
His sense of entitlement and his family’s is beyond me !!!
That’s that blood line!
I am so thankful for all the hard work,long hours and dedication the prosecutor and defense, the jury,Law& Crime, Addi & Mod's ,& Chat. Thank you so very much for putting in what you did and for putting up with me 😊 I hope you all have a beautiful night ❤
Finally the jury wiped that insufferable smirk off his face.
I wonder if Donna, Wendi, and Harvey are having a celebration dinner tonight. Going over the extortion story so when they're all arrested they'll have their stories right. The theory the defense came up with was laughable at best. Justice for Dan was served. Thank you Jurors for getting it right!!!
l would like to see Wendi smirking now like she did on the stand...
Honestly, I thought there was going to be at least one juror foolish enough to believe ridiculous defense theory. But no….they all saw through it….
It was a ridiculous defense. Even those hee-haws from the land Wendi disdained as God-forsaken could see that, hyuck-hyuck-hyuck.
I bet Wendi will try for a change of venue 😂
So Did I. thought they’d find a scrap of reasonable doubt. But nope Justice served.
I was worried also. You just never know. Thankfully Justice prevailed.
Oh wow, you were a part of that crew who actually thought Charlie's story was somewhat believable hey? LOL. Yikes! Thank God the jurors had a little bit of common sense and weren't complete idiots 😮
What’s with the judge reading the names of the jurors??
Wondering about that myself.
I wondered that too
Exactly my thought! I thought their pictures were not allowed to be shown nor their names disclosed.
I've never seen that either but I guess a last name doesn't really identify them unless the last name is like Van Ben der Buigen de Malghsa (yes totally made that up).
I hope the Markels are relieved by this verdict. Now, let's get all the Adelsons behind bars. They are all accomplices...Charlie is pitiful. He blew his wonderful life by taking another's and causing so much sadness.
So great to hear ...guilty...I have replayed it 3 times....this man is a murderer....no blood on his hand...but such a dark soul....
Did he think it was going to go some other way? I hope they prosecute the sister and mother too.
He is so arrogant and narcissistic that I think he was sure his ridiculous story would be enough for reasonable doubt. He looked shocked which tells you how sure he was of himself.
Yes… yes he did think it was going to go some other way! 😂 see that defeat in his face? Vast change from all the other days of trial
@Tassie85 and then the head drop when guilty on 1st degree.
Yesssss!!! GUILTYYYY!! The jury got it right for sure!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I quite enjoyed seeing his face when guilty was read out!! You can’t expect to get away with something that you are clearly guilty of. He thought he could take the stand and talk his way out of it..😂
He really thought he was gna get away with it
I completely agree with you! I thoroughly enjoyed the look of defeat when he heard the verdict.
Perfect verdict! Wendi and Donna next !
I’m surprised the judge is reading out the names of the jurors.
I hope Ruth and Phil and Shelly play this daily. Justice is just beginning for Dan ❤
And this man is supposed to be “intelligent”? What a foolish man. To think he could get away with murder…to risk the privileged life he is was enjoying…his education and subsequent dental practice…his beautiful home..his freedom…to commit MURDER. What I see in his face is regret…not regret that he took a man’s life..but regret that he got caught…and probably now..regret that he went down this evil path. He is where he belongs…and justice will not be served until his evil Mom and sister are locked up, too. Rest in peace, Dan Markel.
FINALLY. And now, let’s hope the rest of the dominoes fall into place quickly. There should be indictments handed out TOMORROW to the rest of the Adelson tribe. At this point with all of the guilty parties, the state of Florida will have to establish “The Adelson Wing” in the penitentiary for all of the incoming incarcerates.
Justice system works! Mama Donna will not be able to use her money to help her mamas boy. Next comes Wendi and Donna
Finally! Been following this for a while and glad to see they got more people that were involved. Interesting to see what will happen to the rest of the Adelson family.
Look at his face before the verdict was even read! He knew.
I heard he actually did know. They took off his tie. His lawyer told him beforehand.
@@christie6488 nope. It doesn’t work that way. No one I repeat no one approaches the jury except the Bailiff. Even the Bailiff isn’t supposed to talk unless otherwise he/she is instructed by the judge.
@@christie6488 That seems extremely unlikely. More likely they knew that the jury wouldn't have a verdict this quickly unless they didn't buy the defense and thought he was guilty
Charlie knew he was done when the defense gave their closing arguments. The defense explained the Adelson’s plot so precisely Charlie himself was nodding in agreement with their explanation. His face then already showed defeatment.
… and Donna has the same idiotic lawyer 😂
I am shocked. The judge just announced every single jurors name to the public. I thought juror identity was kept as private as possible. I realize told anonymity is impossible but just announcing their names to millions of people. YIKES!!!
Big mistake!!!!
that's what I thought😮
My thoughts exactly! 😮
Yes! I was surprised he did that! Especially, with gangs involved….
@@JackieDaytona68oh shoot I forgot about that part
