I dont know why prosecutor didnt point out on the video with charlie even charlie said several times "huh?" to her in close range bc she was soooo quiet. She was careful. Why??? Why so cautious?? That was more damning then anything said (to me).
she already got caught lying under oath on the stand when the Prosecutor asked her what she did for Charlie Addelson for money and she said collecting Rent for him and in her transcript she said she didn't collect rent because the tenant was a pin in the ass ... this idiot Kaddie Magbanua is the Mastermind of all of this crap without her Dan Markel is still here alive and being a Great Dad to his children .I cannot believe the first Jury of this Low life POS Kaddie was hung !! She is Guilty as HELL !! ROT IN HELL Magbanua
The beauty of this is that she could have also negotiated a deal in exchange for turning in Charlie Adelson, but she thought she was smarter than everyone and decided to roll the dice. Her arrogance will now cost her life in prison. Awesome.
I wonder how Sigfredo feels about her now. Yes he was a horrible person a career criminal but he always returned to society this time he will never see the free world ever again.
@@christina5kids16grands I totally agree with you there is absolutely no argument about it but poor disenfranchised people need to stop taking murder jobs from affluent people who can simply hide behind their wealth and standing in the community while the poor person with ties to criminals take the fall! I have seen so so so many of these true crime stories about rich people intentionally shopping for non white poor people in need of money! They aren't asking people of their same ilk to kill their spouses they are asking people whom they know if they were caught that a savvy defense attorney could use their background vs the rich affluent and salt of the Earth name the rich person has going for himself. If rich scum need to have somebody they hate killed then the rich scum needs to do it themselves or find one of his affluent friends to do it. Rich people looking to murder someone know exactly where to go to find someone. We cannot continuous allow stupid poor people who accept murder jobs off because they aren't the big fish. We need to stop defending them I know damn well if I accept a job to murder someone for a six figure payout that I would be the only one going down because the rich person is gonna have an alibi far far away from me because I am the one who set it up and my prints are everywhere not the rich persons therefore I would never ever accept such a diabolical assignment! If you already know how unfair unjust and twisted this world is then how in the world would you kill somebody for a rich person that you know will get off as you go straight to hell. Perhaps if people start seeing exactly what happens when they kill affluent people for affluent people maybe that might stop them from taking murder assignments from rich people who are benefitting from their White and wealthy privilege. Lock the little guys up for life and then we might just start seeing a decline in poor people accepting these assignments and a rise in more rich people doing it themselves and going to prison!
She wasn’t too scared to broker a murder of someone who never did a thing to her, but she was so scared when things came to a logical conclusion which was her arrest. Lol. She deserved to be convicted on stupidity alone.
@@MimiF1 right?! She is one cold piece of work. The image I can’t shake is her attorney breaking down literally sobbing AFTER the trial ended in the accurate and justifiable conclusion of such a heinous act. Wondering if she agreed to payment only upon acquittal. ???
@@MimiF1 me too. This case is unreal and a tragedy for everyone involved. I know that Charlie is a grown man responsible for his own actions (not to mention an arrogant narcissistic whore of a man) but as a mother, Donna should’ve never either gone along with such a horrific thing or get her son involved, whatever the case was. I can’t help but think he and Wendi are messed up in part because of the sick influence of their own mother. Now the whole family is likely to go down, and deservedly so. Just a tragedy.
@@aprilbrooks709 I can’t see that happening because her income DRAMATICALLY increased after the murder, which for me, is the most damning evidence of all.
I'm so glad she went to jail. She really thinks she's fooling everyone with her nasty attitude and not remembering anything. And her attorney was so unprofessional crying when she was found guilty. She needs to find another job.
Why the hell is the state allowing the attorney to testify !!!!??? LEADING! OBJECTION! LEADING! Every single Question , her lawyer is answering! This is absolutely mad ! I can’t even believe what I’m hearing ! This entire time her attorney is questioning her. She isn’t actually questioning her. Her attorney is testifying. This is insane.
EXACTLY ‼️Leading a witness in Florida must be allowed, defense attorney with the mysterious accent lays out the testimony so Katie can act like a bobble head doll. Katie really likes ask for the “records” that might catch her in a lie.
I know it was infuriating! At first, I felt exactly as you described. It was the most ridiculous direct I’ve ever heard! (Out of 1000’s) But, eventually I realized the prosecutor’s strategy. It’s 2 fold. 1) All trial attnys have to be careful w/objections. It’s a fine line. Juries get irritated w/attnys that constantly object. They often think the party is trying to hide something, even when the objections are valid. 2) In KM’s 1st trial, the same attny used the same tactic. She had to ask leading questions to get the right answer. The state knew it was going to be 10X worse in this trial bc its yrs later. The state sat back, methodically planned their cross, knowing that without leading questions, Katie would be screwed. As frustrating as the direct was to watch, the cross was fabulous. It was honestly a brilliant strategy! They didn’t piss the jury off, it allowed Katie to gain a little confidence by being spoon fed & then they came in & completely obliterated her! (One of my favs was the collecting rent question early on) By the time cross was done, Katie’s credibility was in the negative.
@@HannadayFLO Beacuse the judge was well aware, just as the state was, what was coming on cross-examination. The judge & state let KM dig her own hole, knowing she’d be destroyed on cross.
that is so sad you would think a mother would have more empathy than to kill another womans child. had this been some get rich scheme or some financial scam she played on the rich Adelsons I would be rooting for her not to get convicted but there is no way I could fathom taking a life. After she was convicted she had so much emotion over what was happening to her while she was out tit shopping after arranging the murder of a man who's mother is deeply hurting
Right? How in hell could she even sleep at night knowing what she did to another young family? In some respects, Dan's family make-up was so similar to her own, that's partly why I can't believe she'd have gone through with it. She had the bad seed in her to begin with, but I suspect Charlie hung the carrot in front of her face constantly! The carrot being MONEY, of course.
And a father of two you honestly think her and Wendy didn’t talk after her friend left the beach to invite her friend was an alibi come on to my understanding Wendi never hanged with Charlie gf the was very young I don’t believe she don’t Wendi involved ment she trying to get something out of Wendi and Harvey sorry she know Wendi involved why would Georgia asked if they text on what app
That Kawass attorney has got to be one of the worst attorneys I have ever seen!! All she is doing testifying for the witness!! Making a complete fool out her self! She is terrible!!! And that voice is so irritating!!
“Unless you have a text that shows , otherwise no I didn’t do it.” In other words, I’m gonna lie about everything, and if you have a text to prove it, then ya…. Murderer!!! Life in prison is her new life now.
The defenses tactic to make her look " innocent" like the glasses and her quiet tone of voice didn't work and the jury saw right thru the lies...she is a cold hearted MURDERER and she right where she belongs!!
This woman is guilty as hell !! Listening to her keep saying “ I don’t recall , I don’t recall “ !! She is just a liar !! She deserved to be in jail the rest of her life !!!
i think it's even worse to kill a decent man simply because you lost a custody battle, as a grandmother or mother. The shallowness, selfishness and cruelty are hard to comprehend
And at risk of beating a dead horse, she's poor. Which makes it at least comprehensible.She didn't know the guy, needs boobs and stuff like girls of that sort, and that's how she justified it. Selfish and stupid is a bad combo. But the family? That's a whole different level of evil. Far more that simple greed. It's a whole different thing.
@@mattmarkus4868 - I disagree. The Adelson family HATED Dan. They were livid with rage. They were unhinged. They thought they were doing something good for the family. Katherine didn’t have the excuse of rage or hatred. She WASN’T unhinged. She did it for greed.
@@JustMe-px9qy lol hate is a more righteous motive for murder than greed ? Ok… I guess. Whatever works for you I suppose. But of course the Adelsons are most certainly as greedy if not more greedy than the chick. Either way I don’t think your point is strong. They did it to get the kids. And because of the hate ok. Because they don’t like the word no and they are totally entitled assholes. Even more entitled than the chick. And greedier. And less human. They have/had far more to lose and are therefore even stupider.
I paid for that.....unless you have a text that says otherwise. Ok, then I didn't. I did that unless you have evidence that I didn't. Ok I didn't. You should have refreshed my memory.
“I can’t remember what I did yesterday.” So she doesn’t remember that she was in court, on trial for murder, just one day before making this ridiculously dumb statement? God, she looked so guilty on cross.
@@aprilbrooks709 Oh, me too. Absolutely. It amazes me that her lawyers let her take the stand knowing her defense was going to be that she couldn’t remember anything related to the crimes for which she was accused. It’s utterly mystifying behavior.
Correct! This young Filipino lady honestly believed that their age old game would never blow up in her face. I just divorced one exactly like K.M. they believe that you are stupid until you stand up to their crap. I feel sorry for all the good Filipino women who will see this case, and never be trusted. She is a fake states woman who premeditated the murder of a wonderful citizen of the state of Florida.
She was crazy for getting involved and setting up an innocent man to be murdered for money, for not taking a plea deal and telling the truth when caught (and revealing all those involved) and for taking the stand. She is not sorry, and has no insight that she had a innocent man murdered, took him away from his children, and own family. That is evil. She will now serve longer than the two men who pulled the trigger.
I think it's even worse of a crime that she had no motive. She took an innocent life purely out of greed. Charlie&company had worked themselves into a collective delusional frenzy over their hatred for Dan, that rendered them incapable of rational thought.
I’ve been following this case VERY closely and can say that this DA is very good at what she does. However, the ONLY thing I cannot stand about her is her overall demeanor. She speaks to EVERY person on “the other side” (the defense), defendants, Witnesses, & even their COUNSEL… If she was… you know, slightly “contentious” towards them, I’d get that, but her (clear) PERSONAL ATTACKS are very, VERY obvious. It’s so disrespectful. It’s one thing to be rude to the actual defendants… but their witnesses, and their LAWYERS, do NOT deserve this level of scrutiny. It’s quite appalling
@@thekeebman Yeah, but for me it’s a minor meta negative point in an overall good. I want the prosecutor to do everything (within the bounds of the law) to nail this disgusting family for their crimes!
Magbanua really comes off as an idiot with her “I don’t recall” crap. I almost spit out my coffee when the prosecutor asked her a question and Magbanua said “I don’t remember… you guys didn’t pull the records for that?” 🙄 She deserves every day she has to spend in prison and I hope that everyone involved in this murder never gets out. These dingbat ex-girlfriends of Charlie Adelson really show what a complete scumbag he is. They’re all about the money and he’s all about using them for sex and criminal activities.
Charlie isn’t as smart as he’d like people to believe. The only reason he got through school is by daddy’s connections. Wendi is by far the most intelligent, strictly speaking about IQ intelligence.
Love how Dugan drives her points by drilling Magbanua with the details and doesn't let her off the hook. The more Magbanua says, "I don't know" the more she looks guilty. She has no defense. Excellent job Sarah Dugan!
@@ivanavila7708 I'll have to check out Juan Martinez, but I thought Dugan was very good. Funny how different people see things differently. Have a good one.
The ultimate justice for Dan Markel would be for his kids to grow up, learn the whole sordid truth regarding their father's murder, and they cut all ties with the Adelson family including their mother. As soon as they reach majority, the first thing the two children should do is take back their father's name "Markel" as a tribute to the father who died because he wanted to be part of his children's life.
This Kawwass attorney is one of the worst attorneys I have ever seen!! Watched that male attorney rub the little Murderers back!! What jerk he is too!! He acted like a fool as well!!
They know Wendi knows alot, I think they're setting her up they're giving her immunity but that's only if she tells the truth once they catch her in a lie bye-bye Wendi and mommy dearest 🧐😂
Donna ringing Charlie after bump and trying to explain to him what has happened while trying not to let anything incriminating slip! Donna - I had some paperwork hand delivered! Charlie - IRS??? Donna - Unfortunately ,no! Charlie - Who's it to do with??? Donna - (whispers) Both of us! Charlie -(loudly) What??? Donna - Probably both of us!!! Boom!!! Hammer drops!
In his head he is thinking; "There ain't no helping this genius"🤣 Imagine saving thousands of dollars for a boob job and in the same breath saying your son has a medical problem that requires a lot of medical care. Priorities right? Gotta have big boobies when you child has medical bills i guess.
I guarantee nobody's head was bent down that far trying to hear this tape except KM's that is a sneaky way of avoiding the question by feigning she didn't hear what was being said but this little shenanigan of hers simply makes her look even more guilty in lieu of the fact she is the only pretending she can't hear it!
Ar one point she gets relaxed enough to even take a drink of water, because she knew what her next answer was going to be. "I don't remember" or "I didn't hear that"
@@marshapieroni6677 omg I think I misread your comment a couple of weeks ago. I read, that she's bending over so much,that she looks like she's drinking from a water fountain! Lmao! I must have been very overtired reading that.
This is madness .. not knowing anything but knowing all those involved while speaking in code with those involved as she says ''Looks pretty bad'' RIP Dan Merkel and hope he gets his justice including the links to the parents , Charlie and Wendy .. it didn't start with this heartless woman + she needs to stop ''the attitude'' in court she's her own worst enemy the biggest loss is for all the kids
Dub S...Agreed! Poor Dan will only truly get justice once the rest of them are found guilty, which includes Charlie, Wendi, Harvey and last but not least, DONNA.
Wendi is being haunted by Dan Markel spirit. On the stand she looked morphed. Unwanted visions and sounds will follow her ,incarcerated or otherwise. Hell on earth. Adelsons Bridge over troubled Waters .
Yeah, I think her attitude was what did her in. She may have been lucky to have gotten that one juror to hang the jury and have a mistrial declared like her first trial
@@deborahjackson4295 my Philippine ex wife is a perfect replaka of K.M. they are perfect at lying. She has definitely damaged the Philippines with this behavior. No humility even during this second trial. This might be the best judge, and prosecution team I have ever seen. It's perfect.
She says she has no idea what Charlie is taking about on the tape. Not one person in the room believes her but she acts confused and surprised. I love watching this horrible liar try to slither away from justice.
She is so vile and guilty that she is outright telling the prosecutor, "If you have the message or the proof that I said that, then it is undoubtedly true, but if you don't have proof, then it is my word against your word."
At 1:58:26 you can see the look she flashes her attorneys as if she was getting asked ridiculous questions when in fact she is the liar and the problem ,not the prosecutor...nasty she sure is
She implies that the prosecution and police have deposited money in her account because she Has no recollection of depositing the money in her own account. She’s a piece of work.
Overlaps, scenarios, I don't know, I have no idea, I don't remember, assumptions, I didn't hear that, no mam, I can't recall, I can't hear that. The more I watch this cross examination by the state it proves how GUILTY Katie is way beyond a reasonable doubt.
She wants to exhume like a caring concerned mother for her kids the librarian suited look The sad tone of voice like she's exhausted frail and tired. My take she was never intimately involved with Chuck Chuck used her as a byline as his girlfriend to show that she's received gifts & $$$$. She's an opportunist.
I have never seen a witness (Kathryn) who is supposedly fighting for her LIFE be so UNPREPARED on the stand! Watching her is literally blowing my mind! She can't recall a single thing for the prosecutor. Wow, huh?
I SWEAR I’ve been saying this the entire time. I’ve never seen anyone so non chalant and almost damn right slow while on trial for their life. The defense attorney had endless amounts of patience with her because damn.
@@asyablake Yes, exactly! But, now weeks later and after her guilty verdict, she's bawling her eyes out and nearly convulsing with crying! I bet she thought she was going to get off because of her first trial with a hung jury.
She didn't plan anythingon taking the stand. Sigfriedo was going to lie for her, testify on her behalf and support the defense opening statement that he dealt with Charlie Adelson directly behind Katie's back and that Katie wasn't part of the conspiracy. But instead of speaking to Sigfriedo in person, Katie's lawyer called him by phone when he arrives at the Leon county jail in prep for his court appearance. Those calls are all recorded. The call revealed that Defense atty Kawass discuss the false story that Sigfriedo was going to testify to. So Tara Kawass got caught by the prosecution. The judge ruled that if Kawass proceeded to put Sigfriedo on the stand, then the State is allowed to present the recorded phone call as evidence to impeach. So the judge sealed the evidence file of the recording. And Tara Kawass couldn't proceed with putting Sigfriedo on the stand. Basically their case was blown. So, Katie had to get on the stand with probably very little preparation. Oh well. God works in mysterious ways.
KM was so ill prepared she couldn't even bite when her lawyer asked her why Sigifredo didn't want her to know anything. I believe her worst testimony was when she snickered 2 or 3 times about lying to Charlie and so nonchalant with "I don't care " when asked if she knew where the money Sigifredo gave her came from. Also, she doesn't seem to see anything wrong at all with having a fake job for insurance purposes.
I have been watching trials for so long now and never ever have I seen a defendant be slaughtered so much by prosecution...why did her attorneys ever let her on the stand being so unprepared and this would affect her life bigtime...
She was used to being in control, In her relationships, in her job, In her family. So it will be really hard for her when she is in prison with some real crazy wemon who will be collecting rent from her now, among other things🤣
Day by Day Totally agree!The way she said it so non chalantly you could tell it was one of the few honest things she said up there. She might as well have said I didn't care where or what the 30thousand was for/from; I needed it!
Did she really think she could get out of it by saying she didn't remember t, she didn't recall anything. The recorded conversation is damning.really damning. Her saying she didn't remember the convo doesn't get her out of it. She destroyed her poor kids lives forever its deeply damaging to children who's mother's dissapear from their lives.silly woman.
I love hearing the state attorney questioning her, because she actually asked questions. Her own attorney lead her wayyyyy too much. She testified basically for her ..it was you did this or that didn't you ? It was her attorney explaining, and she would reply " yes mam"
@@kjnest I believe it’s the responsibility of the prosecutor to make any objections but I think Ms Cappelman was happy to let Kawass lead her down the primrose path
At 2:04:33 right after she answered that question that you can tell was a bold out lie you can see her glance at her attorneys like saying " I'm f*****" she does it a few times...she did horribly on the stand this time...the first time I don't remember it being as bad. She is a cold hearted MURDERER and I'm happy she is where she belongs...now just praying all others involved get arrested and charged so Dan can get proper justice... Everytime she drinks water it bothers me so much...you know how when people are eating something crunchy and it can drive people crazy well when she drinks water it bothers me Because Dan can't eat or drink anymore because of her evilness and greediness.
She was like, "uh oh, they have something to prove me wrong, the one thing I didn't say I don't recall about, and they have proof to the contrary. Damnit "
I love it when she asks, "What video?" And when Dugan says "he" (as in Charlie) she asks, "Who?" You went right back to that area. "What area?" On the video. "What video?"
@ Mariaa Lynch That's her share from the money paid by Charlie Adelson that she delivered to Garcia and Rivera on July 19, the day after the murder From $ 100,000.... 40,000 was given to Garcia, $ 37,000 to Rivera and the remainder was her share ., She had her boob job and budget for their Disney trip and the rest she deposited.
She’s already Been in prison for four years and she still continues to lie, and as far as her earnings at the bar , tips are totally different than salary
Listening to the first half, you can say she is credible, up until you listen to her being cross questioned by the State advocate, then you know for sure she is guilty as hell...
If she had gone to the police the minute Adelson began talking about murder instead of accepting money and gifts and getting her boyfriend to commit murder, Dan Merkel would be alive today. She deserves what she got.
Can someone please tell me what is with the audio during this entire trial?! This case has haunted me WEEKLY, if not daily, for YEARS. It's one case I have never gotten over. And finally these demons are being charged and I can only hear the audio from one ear or if I just play it from my phone, I can't hear it at all. This is unacceptable. This case has been completely overshadowed by the Depp v Heard trial and the audio is screwed for whatever reason. I literally can't even listen to this. Dan deserves more than this.
I thought it was my stupid headphones!!! And I agree that the AH vrs JD trial has overshadowed this sinister murder trial. This one's so crazy it sounds like a movie!!
FINALLY.......I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME! I have to turn my laptop up to max or use my headphones. But I didn't need to do this with other high profile cases. smh
Stupidest woman on Earth! Offered full immunity to testify against the Adelsons turns it down allows her attorneys who's only interest they had in mind were their own to convince her she would be acquitted so don't accept immunity and believing that statement even though she is listening clearly to a tape of CA talking about the blackmailer who approached his mother going over different theories of who he might be the police or a family member of the person she hired to kill DM, even after hearing clearly on tape CA demanding she kill the would be hitman, she has absolutely no defense and is too weak to tell the defense and the Adelsons to kiss her ass and crawl on her knees over to to the Prosecution and tell everything she knows, she showed no loyalty to SG who was suppose to be her husband only to the Adelsons. She was obsessed with CA and that life the best thing she could have done was turn on them get police protection ask the Markels for forgiveness and don't ever again get wrapped up in something this evil. Her stupidity was so blatant that she is listening to CA trying to put a hit on the would be blackmailer and never once thought about he might have her killed? She was playing with fire getting mad because he dropped her like garbage in the trash can after he got what he wanted then she reminds him of what she did for him which was a move that could have ended her life. SG was garbage but he loved her CA used her then dropped her and had they not been arrested would have had her killed. She put SG and LR in this and to get out of it she exploited their backgrounds if she was really a decent woman she should have been encouraging him to do the right thing or leave him not get him into worse trouble then cry "I don't have a record and I hate drugs SG and LR are criminals not me" SG loved her he forbid his lawyer from saying it was KM's fault even though she had no problem implicating him" He was willing to testify and lie that KM had nothing to do with what took place he did it with CA he had redeemable qualities she doesn't!
Miss Kawass You are not allowed to ask leading questions. The prosecution was smart however so they never objected because they realised her your approach was only making things worse,
Because the previous jury was dumb enough to believe her but this time the defense didn't factor in a bunch of evidence uncovered during the meantime, and the fact that the others were convicted
Her lawyers didn't prepare her for cross-examination because there was no plan to put her on the stand. The defenses so called jaw dropping evidence of KM's innocence was set in place before KM testified they transported SG from prison to the local jail where he was waiting to testify that KM had no idea that he had accepted a hit man position from CA. KM is totally innocent and he SG arranged this devilish clandestine meeting with CA. KM had absolutely no knowledge of the plan. They were all set to go that morning with their at least they believed "Bombshell testimony" except the plan was cooked up on an inmate telephone which is monitored and listened to twenty four hours a day and the prosecution got a hold of the call featuring attorney Kawaas and KM making it all up on tape. Kawass tried to get it thrown out claiming it was protected by attorney client privilege. The Judge advised the defense that those phone calls are monitored and made known to any party engaging in conversations on prison lines are subject to monitoring so if the defense called SG to testify that KM knew nothing about this murder plot then the prosecution had every right to play a copy of the jailhouse call in which Tara Kawaas and KM were making up the story of calling SG to the stand to lie for KM. Because their only defense had been thwarted by the defenses expensive lackadaisical way of meeting with their client to discuss a strategy they had to find something else to do because had they done what they planned on doing the prosecution would play a tape of them flat out lying to the jury to defend KM.
Yes! That exactly right! "If I say 'I don't know,' or 'I don't remember,' it's not true." As if the facts before everyone's own eyes go away if SHE doesn't remember.
Her new name " Katie Scenario I didn't hear that I don't remember that " Magbanua. It's all scenarios that's all and she don't know anything she's innocent. 🤷♂️🤦🫵🫵🫵🫵 Guilty AS SIN.
Like amber heards....umm that's not what we were talking about...he was but I wasn't talking about that with johnny...OR the famous "they don't know or they're not remembering it right" these dummies need to b3 made to stay down if they're gonna lie
So true. I commented on that too! She outright admitted to lying to Charlie that she went in on weekends to clean the office. If that didn't BLOW her CREDIBILITY out of the water, what else would. Screwball. Her lawyer probably wanted to choke her right then and there!
She thinks she’s crafty, but she just has low self esteem to let Charlie manipulate her to not tell the truth. She threw her life away instead of putting on her big girl pants and taking care of herself and her kids. If you choose to have kids with someone who can’t or won’t get their act together or isn’t a good person, accept your choice. You knew what that man was about.
Sarah Johnson, Yeah! I think in 2019 she rolled the dice cause taking the plea would mean she'd be convicting Garcia too! And it you've seen the letters between him and his appellate attorney you can see he still has hope.I think she would be turned on Charlie if Garcia wasn't in the mix.
Serious question, is she slow? Because watching her I’m not sure how she even raised her kids and held down a job let alone two jobs at once…. This is just awful. RIP Dan Markel
@@ajordan1976 Katie Magbanua had 2-3 jobs working at nightclubs but this doesn't require thinking. All she did was hand out liquor/ smile/ flirt and waited for her tips. I doubt she had a college degree even, otherwise she could have used her education to have a better and decent job and not live with a felon.
At that point all the questions seemed leading but the prosecution stayed quiet and let it continue because she was removing any doubt of her absolute guilt. It was a good move, I thought, by then prosecutors.
I don't know why her lawyer didn't have her just admit to knowing about the murder after the fact . She would've got way way less time possibly time served
@@seanj5893 she deserves to be in prison for the rest of her life! Dan Markel was a wonderful person. Now Wendy and her brother need to go to prison! Oh yeah and her parents!!!
I believe 1000% her atty believes her. I went to her attys Instagram and she’s been posting all this emotional stuff saying “Justice for Katie…”. I just don’t understand how anyone could believe her.
It's unbelievable how much leading is happening on the defense side. It's almost not worth the objectons because the defense is screwed and they know it - but she's simply being read what to agree with!
They all were, in Garcia's trial. The state led every question on Rivera because supposedly he can't read n write ...yet he had college certification in masonry and at least a Florida driver's license. How does one achieve such feats while being entirely illiterate? The State should have put the damned Criminals who started all THIS on trial;. It sickens me.
It's amusing how she struggles to recall actions from 7-8 years ago but has no trouble recalling events from over 20 years ago. She’s a big, big liar!!
I couldn't believe her attorney Kawass was crying after the verdict, almost like she really believed Katherine was innocent of this crime? That blew my mind!
@@amelia_k1082 yep because she knew she made that girl blow trial… she knew her giving up CA was her best bet but if she advised that then the money was going to stop so she probably convinced her that she would get another hung jury or an acquittal and they would let her go. She has to cry to make it look like she cares … she know that girl messed up
@@amelia_k1082 I thought she cried because perhaps they talked Katie out of taking a deal....something to prove, or convinced of another hung jury. Her attorneys know she's guilty.
Is she really a lawyer asking childlike questions in this murder trial??? Omg she’s so clueless and I can hear there’s a language barrier to formulate intelligent questions. She needs to find another job.
Right. She never once asks him what this is all about or what is going on. Just sits there for almost an hour, listening. I’d freak out at the mention of FBI...
And after lunch, I would’ve been on the phone to one of my friends talking about how crazy Charlie was…that he was talking about some insane mess and had completely lost it. I think it takes a complete abandonment of common sense, reason and logic to believe she wasn’t completely 💯 guilty.
Did anyone else catch when she LIED then immediately LAUGHED on the stand telling Charlie she went in on the weekend to clean the office when she really didn't? She literally blew her credibility there too! She thinks it was funny to lie to him about work she got paid for but didn't do! She's a screwball for sure.
Oh yes she did that twice and thought it was so cute to say she lied to him. She also showed true colors when asked about where the money Garcia gave her came from. She did a toothy smile and said, "I didn't care"
I don't know, I can't recall, can you refresh my memory? do you have a text showing I said that? Kattie will say anything to try not to get caught in a lie! As if it wasn't bad enough that her own lawyer was hand feeding her all the answers on direct. They have also prepared her for cross by having her say those things back to the prosecution knowing that the witness doesn't suppose to ask questions. But what the hell, your not supposed to give non-stop leading questions to your client either. At the end of the day, Kattie came across GUILTY as hell. I'm so glad the jury saw through all that bs from the defense. Justice for Dan Markel.
I think they ley her attorney lead to show Jury how shady sge is Plus Her sister inlaw was just indicted for embezzlement of 1.8 million $ from her accounts she worked for And funneled the $ to pay Kawas attorney etc
These 2 prosecutors deserve an award for their way of ripping apart of this lying witness. These 2 female prosecutors are very dangerous and I will never commit a crime in Tallahassee. 😳😳
I would just answer: "yes, ma'am". To everything. Just what's the point in prolonging the inevitable? Definitely would have taken the deal just avoid being shredded on the stand, by these two.
Why do some think the "no make up" appearance looks innocent? It's underwhelming and conspicuous. Her "Rosie Perez" lawyer didn't realize how incriminating the "I can't recall" defense would sound.
Her male attorney loves to catch Luis Rivera in a lie yet his client can't remember 95 percent of anything prosecutor asks her and when she does answer its lies.....
She was looking at her lawyer while testifying what a lying piece of you know what.for 35.000 dollars she ruined her own life and her boyfriend plus the guilt that she will suffer for the rest of her life for killing dan markel and she thinks she is smart.
They had little choice. A defendant that doesn’t take the stand to plead their innocence is often assumed to do so based on guilt. There was a lot of evidence they had hoped she could spin and look honest while doing so like her first trial but this go around she did way worse and they had more evidence against her. It was only one juror that hung first time and it was a woman... she felt bad to see a mom/woman go to prison. Her defense tried to do the best they could but they knew it was a long shot and she felt empowered because of the first hung jury. Big mistake. I hope as her sentencing nears she smartens up and starts caring about HER future for her and her kids versus the financial gain from keeping her mouth shut and spending life locked up. There’s no more “scenarios” for her to speculate about, it comes down to 2 left 1: you give up what you know in return for a reduced sentence 2: you stay quiet and your kids inherit the good life via Bank of Adelson while you watch from prison. Personally I’d chose an out date to be with my kids one day over my kids being taken care of with money. Guess we’ll see soon when sentencing comes July 29th unless rescheduled due to her negotiation w/prosecutors
@@lh98 you bring up some excellent points, but it’s a bit late for Katie to give up what she knows in exchange for a reduced sentence. She should’ve done that when she first got busted, not after perjuring herself on the stand in two trials over the course of three years. She has no credibility left at this point.
@@Texas_Baby_Blue no credibility BUT if info she provides gets at Wendi, Donna etc and helps ensure Charlie conviction you can be assured the State will consider telling the judge she helped out to get consideration in sentencing. It’s not too late just too late for the best deal is all.
@@Texas_Baby_Blue no I’m not an attorney. This case just weighs on me for some reason and I keep hoping they get at the rest of them. It’s a bit sad to see the people with money get away with using pawns that are less fortunate and desperate enough to do something like this for a big payday. Personally I’d rather see the shooter out in 20 years in exchange for getting the manipulators and orchestrators of this murder for hire than see just part of them pay for it. This murder was only committed for financial gain by the hit men and the money holders behind it hold the most culpability. Sadly there’s a lot of ppl that would do what they did for a bankroll like that... and the money holders (Adelsons) used and manipulated ppl that wanted some of what they have. It’s sad. Those Markel boys one day will grow up and realize their mother was behind this too. Yes I say Markel boys because it’s a damn shame their mother changed their last names, it’s disgusting actually.
How can a person have a conversation with someone and not know what they talking about? She knew exactly what he was saying.
She had no defense. Her point was SOLELY, I wasn't the one who pulled the trigger. LOL
Happens all day, especially when she's being cross examined.
I dont know why prosecutor didnt point out on the video with charlie even charlie said several times "huh?" to her in close range bc she was soooo quiet. She was careful. Why??? Why so cautious?? That was more damning then anything said (to me).

@@christina5kids16grands I totally agree with you there is absolutely no argument about it but poor disenfranchised people need to stop taking murder jobs from affluent people who can simply hide behind their wealth and standing in the community while the poor person with ties to criminals take the fall! I have seen so so so many of these true crime stories about rich people intentionally shopping for non white poor people in need of money! They aren't asking people of their same ilk to kill their spouses they are asking people whom they know if they were caught that a savvy defense attorney could use their background vs the rich affluent and salt of the Earth name the rich person has going for himself. If rich scum need to have somebody they hate killed then the rich scum needs to do it themselves or find one of his affluent friends to do it. Rich people looking to murder someone know exactly where to go to find someone. We cannot continuous allow stupid poor people who accept murder jobs off because they aren't the big fish. We need to stop defending them I know damn well if I accept a job to murder someone for a six figure payout that I would be the only one going down because the rich person is gonna have an alibi far far away from me because I am the one who set it up and my prints are everywhere not the rich persons therefore I would never ever accept such a diabolical assignment! If you already know how unfair unjust and twisted this world is then how in the world would you kill somebody for a rich person that you know will get off as you go straight to hell. Perhaps if people start seeing exactly what happens when they kill affluent people for affluent people maybe that might stop them from taking murder assignments from rich people who are benefitting from their White and wealthy privilege. Lock the little guys up for life and then we might just start seeing a decline in poor people accepting these assignments and a rise in more rich people doing it themselves and going to prison!
That makes me so happy
She wasn’t too scared to broker a murder of someone who never did a thing to her, but she was so scared when things came to a logical conclusion which was her arrest. Lol. She deserved to be convicted on stupidity alone.
@@MimiF1 right?! She is one cold piece of work. The image I can’t shake is her attorney breaking down literally sobbing AFTER the trial ended in the accurate and justifiable conclusion of such a heinous act. Wondering if she agreed to payment only upon acquittal. ???
@@MimiF1 me too. This case is unreal and a tragedy for everyone involved. I know that Charlie is a grown man responsible for his own actions (not to mention an arrogant narcissistic whore of a man) but as a mother, Donna should’ve never either gone along with such a horrific thing or get her son involved, whatever the case was. I can’t help but think he and Wendi are messed up in part because of the sick influence of their own mother. Now the whole family is likely to go down, and deservedly so. Just a tragedy.

EXACTLY ‼️Leading a witness in Florida must be allowed, defense attorney with the mysterious accent lays out the testimony so Katie can act like a bobble head doll. Katie really likes ask for the “records” that might catch her in a lie.
Let them talk, more lies you can catch them in
I know it was infuriating! At first, I felt exactly as you described. It was the most ridiculous direct I’ve ever heard! (Out of 1000’s) But, eventually I realized the prosecutor’s strategy. It’s 2 fold.
1) All trial attnys have to be careful w/objections. It’s a fine line. Juries get irritated w/attnys that constantly object. They often think the party is trying to hide something, even when the objections are valid.
2) In KM’s 1st trial, the same attny used the same tactic. She had to ask leading questions to get the right answer. The state knew it was going to be 10X worse in this trial bc its yrs later. The state sat back, methodically planned their cross, knowing that without leading questions, Katie would be screwed. As frustrating as the direct was to watch, the cross was fabulous.
It was honestly a brilliant strategy! They didn’t piss the jury off, it allowed Katie to gain a little confidence by being spoon fed & then they came in & completely obliterated her! (One of my favs was the collecting rent question early on) By the time cross was done, Katie’s credibility was in the negative.
I was aghast! Why didn't the judge intervene?!!😮
@@HannadayFLO Beacuse the judge was well aware, just as the state was, what was coming on cross-examination. The judge & state let KM dig her own hole, knowing she’d be destroyed on cross.

Hahaaaa
That's funny!
She saw a way to make easy money fast.
That it involved taking a man's life didn't trouble her conscience.
Guilty as hell.
that is so sad you would think a mother would have more empathy than to kill another womans child. had this been some get rich scheme or some financial scam she played on the rich Adelsons I would be rooting for her not to get convicted but there is no way I could fathom taking a life. After she was convicted she had so much emotion over what was happening to her while she was out tit shopping after arranging the murder of a man who's mother is deeply hurting
Those fake boobies won't pay for themselves.
Right? How in hell could she even sleep at night knowing what she did to another young family? In some respects, Dan's family make-up was so similar to her own, that's partly why I can't believe she'd have gone through with it. She had the bad seed in her to begin with, but I suspect Charlie hung the carrot in front of her face constantly! The carrot being MONEY, of course.

Katherine didn’t have a problem with Dan Markell. She participated because she’s greedy. Pure greed.

@@mattmarkus4868 - I agree.
And at risk of beating a dead horse, she's poor. Which makes it at least comprehensible.She didn't know the guy, needs boobs and stuff like girls of that sort, and that's how she justified it. Selfish and stupid is a bad combo. But the family? That's a whole different level of evil. Far more that simple greed. It's a whole different thing.
@@mattmarkus4868 - I disagree. The Adelson family HATED Dan. They were livid with rage. They were unhinged. They thought they were doing something good for the family.
Katherine didn’t have the excuse of rage or hatred. She WASN’T unhinged.
She did it for greed.
@@JustMe-px9qy lol hate is a more righteous motive for murder than greed ? Ok… I guess. Whatever works for you I suppose. But of course the Adelsons are most certainly as greedy if not more greedy than the chick. Either way I don’t think your point is strong.
They did it to get the kids. And because of the hate ok. Because they don’t like the word no and they are totally entitled assholes. Even more entitled than the chick. And greedier. And less human. They have/had far more to lose and are therefore even stupider.
Liar liar liar. She is such a liar.. so glad she is headed to prison.

Correct! This young Filipino lady honestly believed that their age old game would never blow up in her face. I just divorced one exactly like K.M. they believe that you are stupid until you stand up to their crap. I feel sorry for all the good Filipino women who will see this case, and never be trusted. She is a fake states woman who premeditated the murder of a wonderful citizen of the state of Florida.
She was crazy for getting involved and setting up an innocent man to be murdered for money, for not taking a plea deal and telling the truth when caught (and revealing all those involved) and for taking the stand. She is not sorry, and has no insight that she had a innocent man murdered, took him away from his children, and own family. That is evil. She will now serve longer than the two men who pulled the trigger.
I agree, except Garcia is there forever. I hope he has something of value to put Donna and Wendi away and get his sentence reduced.
I think it's even worse of a crime that she had no motive. She took an innocent life purely out of greed.
Charlie&company had worked themselves into a collective delusional frenzy over their hatred for Dan, that rendered them incapable of rational thought.

Truth..it’s coming
I’ve been following this case VERY closely and can say that this DA is very good at what she does. However, the ONLY thing I cannot stand about her is her overall demeanor. She speaks to EVERY person on “the other side” (the defense), defendants, Witnesses, & even their COUNSEL…
If she was… you know, slightly “contentious” towards them, I’d get that, but her (clear) PERSONAL ATTACKS are very, VERY obvious. It’s so disrespectful. It’s one thing to be rude to the actual defendants… but their witnesses, and their LAWYERS, do NOT deserve this level of scrutiny. It’s quite appalling

Magbanua really comes off as an idiot with her “I don’t recall” crap. I almost spit out my coffee when the prosecutor asked her a question and Magbanua said “I don’t remember… you guys didn’t pull the records for that?” 🙄 She deserves every day she has to spend in prison and I hope that everyone involved in this murder never gets out. These dingbat ex-girlfriends of Charlie Adelson really show what a complete scumbag he is. They’re all about the money and he’s all about using them for sex and criminal activities.
Charlie isn’t as smart as he’d like people to believe. The only reason he got through school is by daddy’s connections. Wendi is by far the most intelligent, strictly speaking about IQ intelligence.
Charlie is definitely not smart for a Dr. Hiring thugs to kill for him and having all these bimbo girlfriends
Love how Dugan drives her points by drilling Magbanua with the details and doesn't let her off the hook. The more Magbanua says, "I don't know" the more she looks guilty. She has no defense. Excellent job Sarah Dugan!

You have to remember that these criminals job is to perfect their craft. Lying, keeping calm, and story telling.
The ultimate justice for Dan Markel would be for his kids to grow up, learn the whole sordid truth regarding their father's murder, and they cut all ties with the Adelson family including their mother. As soon as they reach majority, the first thing the two children should do is take back their father's name "Markel" as a tribute to the father who died because he wanted to be part of his children's life.
Any reasonable doubt evaporated when Katie took the stand, she literally committed suicide.

She didn't plan anythingon taking the stand. Sigfriedo was going to lie for her, testify on her behalf and support the defense opening statement that he dealt with Charlie Adelson directly behind Katie's back and that Katie wasn't part of the conspiracy. But instead of speaking to Sigfriedo in person, Katie's lawyer called him by phone when he arrives at the Leon county jail in prep for his court appearance. Those calls are all recorded. The call revealed that Defense atty Kawass discuss the false story that Sigfriedo was going to testify to. So Tara Kawass got caught by the prosecution. The judge ruled that if Kawass proceeded to put Sigfriedo on the stand, then the State is allowed to present the recorded phone call as evidence to impeach. So the judge sealed the evidence file of the recording. And Tara Kawass couldn't proceed with putting Sigfriedo on the stand. Basically their case was blown. So, Katie had to get on the stand with probably very little preparation. Oh well. God works in mysterious ways.

I believe her worst testimony was when she snickered 2 or 3 times about lying to Charlie and so nonchalant with "I don't care " when asked if she knew where the money Sigifredo gave her came from. Also, she doesn't seem to see anything wrong at all with having a fake job for insurance purposes.

Totally agree!The way she said it so non chalantly you could tell it was one of the few honest things she said up there. She might as well have said I didn't care where or what the 30thousand was for/from; I needed it!
That dumb look she had when they showed the text about doing something for him is priceless, so guilty and busted!😂
@Donna Adelson are you Charlie’s mother, if so your next, cuz you gave it to her!
What a peice of work, I don’t know I don’t recall, acting all docile and innocent, what a mountain of evidence🙄
Did she really think she could get out of it by saying she didn't remember t, she didn't recall anything. The recorded conversation is damning.really damning. Her saying she didn't remember the convo doesn't get her out of it. She destroyed her poor kids lives forever its deeply damaging to children who's mother's dissapear from their lives.silly woman.
Yes
I love hearing the state attorney questioning her, because she actually asked questions. Her own attorney lead her wayyyyy too much. She testified basically for her ..it was you did this or that didn't you ? It was her attorney explaining, and she would reply " yes mam"
Yes the leading is ridiculous! She's being hand fed the information.
That’s an Understatement! I even said to myself “if Camille Vasquez were here, she’d be objecting nonstop!!!!!!”
The judge was terrible!! Her attorney asked one leading question after another and he just sat there with his head up his ass!
@@kjnest I believe it’s the responsibility of the prosecutor to make any objections but I think Ms Cappelman was happy to let Kawass lead her down the primrose path
@@msudak4 Not necessarily true I have heard the judge interject things like that question has been asked and answered! And other things!
At 2:04:33 right after she answered that question that you can tell was a bold out lie you can see her glance at her attorneys like saying " I'm f*****" she does it a few times...she did horribly on the stand this time...the first time I don't remember it being as bad. She is a cold hearted MURDERER and I'm happy she is where she belongs...now just praying all others involved get arrested and charged so Dan can get proper justice...
Everytime she drinks water it bothers me so much...you know how when people are eating something crunchy and it can drive people crazy well when she drinks water it bothers me Because Dan can't eat or drink anymore because of her evilness and greediness.
Someone mentioned it looked as though she was drinking from a water fountain 😄
She was like, "uh oh, they have something to prove me wrong, the one thing I didn't say I don't recall about, and they have proof to the contrary. Damnit "
Oh Katie, sticking your neck forward and pretening to listen intently to the tape makes you look ridiculous since you know everything he said and why
Two careers that she stinks at: 1) Murder Planner and 2) Acting
Katie is the worst actress I've ever seen on the stand
@@Ferrucci_1666 yes, but she’s probably a good inmate, and that’s all that counts now.

I love it when she asks, "What video?" And when Dugan says "he" (as in Charlie) she asks, "Who?" You went right back to that area. "What area?" On the video. "What video?"
What murder? Who what where and why 😳🙄😵💫

@@TP-yz8pnand therein lies the problem for KM.
How can she not recall where she got $13,200 in July, 2014⁉️🤯🤬
She said. Efore she saved money that she got cash for working certain jobs and saved it.
@@normacolon9618 but she couldn't say where the money came from. She wasn't working anywhere June or July. I would know where or how I got 13,200!
Or 17,00, followed by 5,000...
@ Mariaa Lynch That's her share from the money paid by Charlie Adelson that she delivered to Garcia and Rivera on July 19, the day after the murder From $ 100,000.... 40,000 was given to Garcia, $ 37,000 to Rivera and the remainder was her share ., She had her boob job and budget for their Disney trip and the rest she deposited.
katie is her own worst witness...
she is terrible with her own lawyers...CRAZY
..
She’s already Been in prison for four years and she still continues to lie, and as far as her earnings at the bar , tips are totally different than salary
And she will have a lot of time to think about it when she gets life
SHE IS GUILTY. TERRIBLE JOB ON THE WITNESS STAND. KATIE SHOULD NEVER HAVE TESTIFIED. BAD MISTAKE. HER GUILT REALLY SHOWED THRU.
Listening to the first half, you can say she is credible, up until you listen to her being cross questioned by the State advocate, then you know for sure she is guilty as hell...
A life sentence for being the intermediary to a murder is a bit harsh...15-20 years maybe 🤔
If she had gone to the police the minute Adelson began talking about murder instead of accepting money and gifts and getting her boyfriend to commit murder, Dan Merkel would be alive today. She deserves what she got.
@@jonnieinbangkok the murder was planned....that is first degree..Life
@@jonnieinbangkok you sound crazy.
@@sxtsxt6714 You're not the first to say that 😒
Can someone please tell me what is with the audio during this entire trial?! This case has haunted me WEEKLY, if not daily, for YEARS. It's one case I have never gotten over. And finally these demons are being charged and I can only hear the audio from one ear or if I just play it from my phone, I can't hear it at all. This is unacceptable. This case has been completely overshadowed by the Depp v Heard trial and the audio is screwed for whatever reason. I literally can't even listen to this. Dan deserves more than this.
He deserves better audio?
The audio is fading in and out. I suppose it depends upon where the prosecutor is standing. Try a good pair of headphones to understand it all.
I think the last trial it was like this too. Crazy that they can’t figure it out. My earbuds help though.
I thought it was my stupid headphones!!! And I agree that the AH vrs JD trial has overshadowed this sinister murder trial. This one's so crazy it sounds like a movie!!
FINALLY.......I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME! I have to turn my laptop up to max or use my headphones. But I didn't need to do this with other high profile cases. smh
Katherine’s mannerisms show she can see she will be found guilty.
Damn.. Katie knows this is where the story ends. There’s a long silence - she’s standing waiting for the jury to sit down- her face says it all.
Stupidest woman on Earth! Offered full immunity to testify against the Adelsons turns it down allows her attorneys who's only interest they had in mind were their own to convince her she would be acquitted so don't accept immunity and believing that statement even though she is listening clearly to a tape of CA talking about the blackmailer who approached his mother going over different theories of who he might be the police or a family member of the person she hired to kill DM, even after hearing clearly on tape CA demanding she kill the would be hitman, she has absolutely no defense and is too weak to tell the defense and the Adelsons to kiss her ass and crawl on her knees over to to the Prosecution and tell everything she knows, she showed no loyalty to SG who was suppose to be her husband only to the Adelsons. She was obsessed with CA and that life the best thing she could have done was turn on them get police protection ask the Markels for forgiveness and don't ever again get wrapped up in something this evil. Her stupidity was so blatant that she is listening to CA trying to put a hit on the would be blackmailer and never once thought about he might have her killed? She was playing with fire getting mad because he dropped her like garbage in the trash can after he got what he wanted then she reminds him of what she did for him which was a move that could have ended her life. SG was garbage but he loved her CA used her then dropped her and had they not been arrested would have had her killed. She put SG and LR in this and to get out of it she exploited their backgrounds if she was really a decent woman she should have been encouraging him to do the right thing or leave him not get him into worse trouble then cry "I don't have a record and I hate drugs SG and LR are criminals not me" SG loved her he forbid his lawyer from saying it was KM's fault even though she had no problem implicating him" He was willing to testify and lie that KM had nothing to do with what took place he did it with CA he had redeemable qualities she doesn't!
Miss Kawass
You are not allowed to ask leading questions. The prosecution was smart however so they never objected because they realised her your approach was only making things worse,
Her defense was the best prosecution they could ask for. They contradicted themselves all the time. LOL
Katherine is so evasive…it’s obvious she was in on it. She should have taken the deal and turned on Charlie.
Whose idea was it for her to take the stand?!!!!
Right?! In my opinion, she had a way better chance NOT saying a word but I’m sure glad she did.
Lol yep - bad call for her - good call for justice
"I don't remember what I did yesterday"? Her lawyers did a terrible job of preparing her. What was the point in putting her on the stand?
So she can sit there and agree! Ridiculous!
Because the previous jury was dumb enough to believe her but this time the defense didn't factor in a bunch of evidence uncovered during the meantime, and the fact that the others were convicted
Her lawyers didn't prepare her for cross-examination because there was no plan to put her on the stand. The defenses so called jaw dropping evidence of KM's innocence was set in place before KM testified they transported SG from prison to the local jail where he was waiting to testify that KM had no idea that he had accepted a hit man position from CA. KM is totally innocent and he SG arranged this devilish clandestine meeting with CA. KM had absolutely no knowledge of the plan. They were all set to go that morning with their at least they believed "Bombshell testimony" except the plan was cooked up on an inmate telephone which is monitored and listened to twenty four hours a day and the prosecution got a hold of the call featuring attorney Kawaas and KM making it all up on tape. Kawass tried to get it thrown out claiming it was protected by attorney client privilege. The Judge advised the defense that those phone calls are monitored and made known to any party engaging in conversations on prison lines are subject to monitoring so if the defense called SG to testify that KM knew nothing about this murder plot then the prosecution had every right to play a copy of the jailhouse call in which Tara Kawaas and KM were making up the story of calling SG to the stand to lie for KM. Because their only defense had been thwarted by the defenses expensive lackadaisical way of meeting with their client to discuss a strategy they had to find something else to do because had they done what they planned on doing the prosecution would play a tape of them flat out lying to the jury to defend KM.
Malpractice?
So true Katie looks awful on the stand because she under estimated the prosecution and all the information they had on her.
The hottest strippers in the best gentleman's club don't make that kind of money. Who is she fooling.
No one!
She thinks that by not admitting to something it doesn't become a factor in the jurors ears
Yes! That exactly right! "If I say 'I don't know,' or 'I don't remember,' it's not true." As if the facts before everyone's own eyes go away if SHE doesn't remember.
YEP! She was hired as his personal assistant but doesn’t “recall” any general daily duties. So glad the jury saw through her web of lies.
Exactly! As if she were the one deciding what is true or not. Like an expert witness. 😂😭
Right she’s so stupid lol
Her new name " Katie Scenario I didn't hear that I don't remember that " Magbanua. It's all scenarios that's all and she don't know anything she's innocent. 🤷♂️🤦🫵🫵🫵🫵 Guilty AS SIN.

Love how she looks at her attorneys with that " I'm f*****" look..

Have you pulled that text/email/video ..... 😂😂
Putting her on the stand sealed the Adelson family's fate. They can no longer buy her silence. The DA owns her now. She'll talk.
She had the most wicked expression on her face when she chuckles and shows her teeth when admitting she lied to Charlie. At least twice she did that
She looks like something my son would say ..she looks like somebody's auntie" lol..looks like she been eating pretty good but so much older
So true. I commented on that too! She outright admitted to lying to Charlie that she went in on weekends to clean the office. If that didn't BLOW her CREDIBILITY out of the water, what else would. Screwball. Her lawyer probably wanted to choke her right then and there!
Can’t remember! Can’t recall!! And 1000 yes mames = life in prison!! Love it!!!
She thinks she’s crafty, but she just has low self esteem to let Charlie manipulate her to not tell the truth. She threw her life away instead of putting on her big girl pants and taking care of herself and her kids. If you choose to have kids with someone who can’t or won’t get their act together or isn’t a good person, accept your choice. You knew what that man was about.
Sarah Johnson,
Yeah! I think in 2019 she rolled the dice cause taking the plea would mean she'd be convicting Garcia too!
And it you've seen the letters between him and his appellate attorney you can see he still has hope.I think she would be turned on Charlie if Garcia wasn't in the mix.
Serious question, is she slow? Because watching her I’m not sure how she even raised her kids and held down a job let alone two jobs at once…. This is just awful. RIP Dan Markel
Let alone orchestrate a murder for hire
Slow as molasses
I think she’s intelligent. She’s simply pretending to be confused and innocent.
@@MariaOSullivan42 let alone graduate from college
@@ajordan1976 Katie Magbanua had 2-3 jobs working at nightclubs but this doesn't require thinking. All she did was hand out liquor/ smile/ flirt and waited for her tips.

This horrible lawyer is just feeding her the script for her to answer yes ma'am, no ma'am, or I don't rememb0
Tf?
I feel the same way.
At that point all the questions seemed leading but the prosecution stayed quiet and let it continue because she was removing any doubt of her absolute guilt. It was a good move, I thought, by then prosecutors.
I don't know why her lawyer didn't have her just admit to knowing about the murder after the fact . She would've got way way less time possibly time served
@@seanj5893 she deserves to be in prison for the rest of her life! Dan Markel was a wonderful person. Now Wendy and her brother need to go to prison! Oh yeah and her parents!!!

Leads her with her own tale of lies

Her lawyers are good. They don't have a lot to work with.
@@Doogydoog Yeah, that was my impression, too.
I believe 1000% her atty believes her. I went to her attys Instagram and she’s been posting all this emotional stuff saying “Justice for Katie…”. I just don’t understand how anyone could believe her.
She can't resist wearing a low-cut blouse, even in court.
It's unbelievable how much leading is happening on the defense side. It's almost not worth the objectons because the defense is screwed and they know it - but she's simply being read what to agree with!
Yes I agree about the leading!!
Frankly it's one of the worst directs I've ever watched. I guess the prosecutor was like meh... no need to object... won't be long now.
They all were, in Garcia's trial. The state led every question on Rivera because supposedly he can't read n write ...yet he had college certification in masonry and at least a Florida driver's license. How does one achieve such feats while being entirely illiterate? The State should have put the damned Criminals who started all THIS on trial;. It sickens me.
😃and if KM doesn't give her the answer she wants, she asks again! So awful
Terrible judge!!! Allowed 359 leading questions!! And just sat there with his head up his ass!
It's amusing how she struggles to recall actions from 7-8 years ago but has no trouble recalling events from over 20 years ago. She’s a big, big liar!!
" do u have any record" ?
that to me is like saying show me what I said bcz I can't remember my lies.
EXACTLY 💯
I was thinking the same thing
Looks like her attorney was trying to communicate w her during cross at 1:58:30. You can see KM slightly acknowledging them.
They were doing that the whole time
Come here to see a liar in action
This terrible attorney actually says in front of the jury you said you don’t remember a lot!!
I couldn't believe her attorney Kawass was crying after the verdict, almost like she really believed Katherine was innocent of this crime? That blew my mind!
@@amelia_k1082 yep because she knew she made that girl blow trial… she knew her giving up CA was her best bet but if she advised that then the money was going to stop so she probably convinced her that she would get another hung jury or an acquittal and they would let her go. She has to cry to make it look like she cares … she know that girl messed up
@@amelia_k1082 I thought she cried because perhaps they talked Katie out of taking a deal....something to prove, or convinced of another hung jury. Her attorneys know she's guilty.
Is she really a lawyer asking childlike questions in this murder trial??? Omg she’s so clueless and I can hear there’s a language barrier to formulate intelligent questions. She needs to find another job.
Language barrier, she speaks English as in from England..please.
@@normacolon9618 the comment isn’t for blind and deaf people like you.
If my boyfriend- x boyfriend was saying shit like that--- which i DID hear... I would say WTF are you talking about...
Right. She never once asks him what this is all about or what is going on. Just sits there for almost an hour, listening. I’d freak out at the mention of FBI...
And after lunch, I would’ve been on the phone to one of my friends talking about how crazy Charlie was…that he was talking about some insane mess and had completely lost it. I think it takes a complete abandonment of common sense, reason and logic to believe she wasn’t completely 💯 guilty.
Did anyone else catch when she LIED then immediately LAUGHED on the stand telling Charlie she went in on the weekend to clean the office when she really didn't? She literally blew her credibility there too! She thinks it was funny to lie to him about work she got paid for but didn't do! She's a screwball for sure.
Oh yes she did that twice and thought it was so cute to say she lied to him. She also showed true colors when asked about where the money Garcia gave her came from. She did a toothy smile and said, "I didn't care"
I don't know, I can't recall, can you refresh my memory? do you have a text showing I said that? Kattie will say anything to try not to get caught in a lie! As if it wasn't bad enough that her own lawyer was hand feeding her all the answers on direct. They have also prepared her for cross by having her say those things back to the prosecution knowing that the witness doesn't suppose to ask questions. But what the hell, your not supposed to give non-stop leading questions to your client either. At the end of the day, Kattie came across GUILTY as hell. I'm so glad the jury saw through all that bs from the defense. Justice for Dan Markel.
I think they ley her attorney lead to show Jury how shady sge is
Plus
Her sister inlaw was just indicted for embezzlement of 1.8 million $ from her accounts she worked for
And funneled the $ to pay Kawas attorney etc
Defense attorneys trying so hard to make this unbelievable story believable. They don’t even believe Katie is innocent.
If they don’t there pretty stupid
These 2 prosecutors deserve an award for their way of ripping apart of this lying witness. These 2 female prosecutors are very dangerous and I will never commit a crime in Tallahassee. 😳😳
I would just answer: "yes, ma'am". To everything. Just what's the point in prolonging the inevitable?
Definitely would have taken the deal just avoid being shredded on the stand, by these two.
Yes
Absolutely brilliant they are.
Why do some think the "no make up" appearance looks innocent? It's underwhelming and conspicuous. Her "Rosie Perez" lawyer didn't realize how incriminating the "I can't recall" defense would sound.
No makeup in jail
No makeup?? Tell Jodi Arias -lol!
Her male attorney loves to catch Luis Rivera in a lie yet his client can't remember 95 percent of anything prosecutor asks her and when she does answer its lies.....
And Lori Vallow
@@perkinsvalentine true and Lori daybell with her sock hair curlers
She was looking at her lawyer while testifying what a lying piece of you know what.for 35.000 dollars she ruined her own life and her boyfriend plus the guilt that she will suffer for the rest of her life for killing dan markel and she thinks she is smart.
Sadly, I don't think she will feel guilt.
And her children will grow up without a mother. Who knows, maybe they will now have a chance in life.
Yup lied to her Baby daddy about who was paying, she is void of emotion or empathy she doesn’t care.
Now it’s I like I am going to lie unless you have a text message?? Lol
Lolll exactly she’s pathetic
Sarah Dugan really agitated her and Katie's bad attitude comes out....So different from the cross in 2019...
Dumb-ass move of the defense to put KM on the stand. They should've known the prosecution would smoke her.
They had little choice. A defendant that doesn’t take the stand to plead their innocence is often assumed to do so based on guilt. There was a lot of evidence they had hoped she could spin and look honest while doing so like her first trial but this go around she did way worse and they had more evidence against her. It was only one juror that hung first time and it was a woman... she felt bad to see a mom/woman go to prison. Her defense tried to do the best they could but they knew it was a long shot and she felt empowered because of the first hung jury. Big mistake. I hope as her sentencing nears she smartens up and starts caring about HER future for her and her kids versus the financial gain from keeping her mouth shut and spending life locked up. There’s no more “scenarios” for her to speculate about, it comes down to 2 left 1: you give up what you know in return for a reduced sentence 2: you stay quiet and your kids inherit the good life via Bank of Adelson while you watch from prison. Personally I’d chose an out date to be with my kids one day over my kids being taken care of with money. Guess we’ll see soon when sentencing comes July 29th unless rescheduled due to her negotiation w/prosecutors
@@lh98 you bring up some excellent points, but it’s a bit late for Katie to give up what she knows in exchange for a reduced sentence. She should’ve done that when she first got busted, not after perjuring herself on the stand in two trials over the course of three years. She has no credibility left at this point.
@@Texas_Baby_Blue no credibility BUT if info she provides gets at Wendi, Donna etc and helps ensure Charlie conviction you can be assured the State will consider telling the judge she helped out to get consideration in sentencing. It’s not too late just too late for the best deal is all.
@@lh98 right you are! you an attorney?
@@Texas_Baby_Blue no I’m not an attorney. This case just weighs on me for some reason and I keep hoping they get at the rest of them. It’s a bit sad to see the people with money get away with using pawns that are less fortunate and desperate enough to do something like this for a big payday. Personally I’d rather see the shooter out in 20 years in exchange for getting the manipulators and orchestrators of this murder for hire than see just part of them pay for it. This murder was only committed for financial gain by the hit men and the money holders behind it hold the most culpability. Sadly there’s a lot of ppl that would do what they did for a bankroll like that... and the money holders (Adelsons) used and manipulated ppl that wanted some of what they have. It’s sad. Those Markel boys one day will grow up and realize their mother was behind this too. Yes I say Markel boys because it’s a damn shame their mother changed their last names, it’s disgusting actually.
