I'd at least like to say anyways... thatyou couldn't go as far as saying "clearly" (as an indication of murderous intent) being that you'd seemingly have to associate something direct as far as having harmful intentions is concerned. However, something of suspicion applying, would certainly be understandable.
They were paying him to move to Miami to be near the kids. Not true. This guy was set ip. Latin kings are originally from Chicago. They are well established and have been around since the 50’s. They are organized. Dude was set up and targeted. As he was flashing money around.
No that means they’re trying to work out. They never verbally or physically threaten him. The worst thing said was jibbers. And he apparently did not about that.
I still haven't come across any evidence implicating at least Wendi.. as something of quite distinctly or downright suspicious. She also sremingly sounds impressive on the stand in establishing the concept of her innocence. I wouldn't be surprised if she up to even strongly suspected her brother..., as she even chose to let his "bad joke" become known and al the while... took advantage of the situation by obtaining full rights to her children (even changing their last name), but all that can still be achieved as a bystander.
He can’t look the jurors in the eyes… The fact poor poor wendi didn’t have the cash to buy herself a tv just breaks my heart. Makes me want to start a gofundme…
With so much $$ she has she couldn't afford a TV.. So her brother goes by her a broke down Tv So Wendy goes ahead & remember let me fix this broke down Tv my brother gave me as a gift meanwhile my ex husband get murdered
So far we got 2 out of 3. God is great. God watched what happened in dan markel’s garage. Now i hope we get the 3rd one ,Wendi. Also Harvey. He is in it too
I don’t think Wendi is guilty because there’s not a single piece of evidence against her. Wendi is annoying but I don’t think she’s got anything to with the murder.
If he says' puzzle pieces' one more time as if the jurors are stupid to understand his defense strategy is unbelievable. Lost Case. Come on... as and acting teacher myself, if this were an opening monologue done in a show by an actor, I would leave the show now or I would watch it and continue to say to the person sitting next to me ‘this is so bad’ and I would get kicked out, finally!!! Ayayaya!!

Most likely he advised his client to plead guilty in return for a reduced sentence (that’s what you’d do in the UK anyway) but Charlie is so arrogant he probably refused and thought he would get off.
Wait until the jurors hear the recordings! Hope this prosecution calls Kathryn to testify. She has nothing else to lose and can tell the truth about Charlie. The mother, Donna should be arrested too, imo.
@@SS11660 yeah but when her story this time actually lines up with the conversation on the dolce Vida tapes, and actually lines up with the storyline, it’s gonna be hard to discount her
@michaelcalland801 but defense will say she's lying now to get time off her sentence. They can bring up all her past lies so jury may not believe her.. So it could go either way and be a wash.
Puzzle 🧩🧩pieces all fit together by the defense for the prosecution. Thanks . Charlie trying to look all sheepish and innocent. 😂 The Adelson Institute should be the name of the prison that houses them all.
“This is something I very rarely say in courtrooms- Charlie Adelson is innocent!”…. Of course he rarely says that. In other court cases, he claims that someone else is innocent. Nice word play 😀
That’s not exactlyyyy what he said! Lol!! But it makes him look appreciative of law enforcement, etc. for investigating this… but their “assumptions” are wrong! And his client is innocent. Yepppp!! Lol!!
Jeez, looking at Charlie, during opening, his Attorney has him convinced. I'm just glad he is in prison, he had what??, 9 years free...after the murder...
The prosecuting attorney just blew the defense opening out of the water. She detailed the entire case and the defense attorney has to try his best to convince the jury that they have it all wrong and that he is there to set the record straight. Huge Failure. The entire family was involved one way or another.
Katie says a friend shot professor Markel and she didn’t have anything to do with it and if he does not pay, Charlie’s family is next! talk about fanciful fiction.
The fact that they might have been willing to pay the Man 1 million dollars to allow his children and wife ex-wife to relocate shows their absolute desperation. And if they are that desperate and that idea fails what could be the next option?
MattheWish Even the first time I heard this...why didn't they pay million grandparents Adelson to fly up...they are retired...Charlie can prob even afford private plane...after the 1million runs out... Leave Dan alone, to have his kids 50 percent, in Tallahassee...Wendy can run to airport once a week..or leave a car in Airport parking...They have lots of time...retired and weathy... Donna deserves whatever court says, narcissistic witch...
@@lynnhauenstein4136 You make such a good point. Why weren't the family offering the million to get both adults and children down to Florida before the marriage ended ? Because, I think, plans were already made behind Dan's back by his wife and her family, who operate as a self serving pack, to separate him from his children because they were never prepared to share the children with Dan or his family.
@flowerjpotter1629 I hear you..but Jewish married, Danny and Wendi, , church wise. Cant be bashed by Donna. Her Hands tied.. Dan wonderful...( yep just reading in by post murder, court docs) The other pick up point...Wendi, hated Dan had higher creds than her, Harvard dude vs What law school? I'd a retired ER Doctor.....my deceased husband way ahead of me..creds. Wendi super Jealous. I was married to .Radiologist with extra creds.. I was super proud of him, had kids. But I picked up
@flowerjpotter1629 I picked up Wendi so pleased to announce in court... Danny didn't get the job. At some South Florida University. Never mind, part of deal, uni had to take her on in some job...
Charlie looks like a dappered Bettle Juice total contrast of the gem he once was. His lawyer the starting of a story and leaving a lot of puzzle pieces but hes guilty along with his family. This joke was told to strangers. Justice for Dan. Abba dont like proud - haighty people. And these leave before the fall and its very obvious the alter ego has gone out. Puzzle pices my ass but his lawyer is good at his job.😅 By the way Councellor - mano to mano means to settle a dispute.
Rashbaum would have never entered the courtroom with this defense had he been a decent lawyer. He would have told Charlie to take a plea, which I’m sure previous lawyers told him to do.
This "puzzle pieces" analogy is idiotic. Every time I hear him say "Puzzle pieces" during his statement, it usually follows facts that fit together perfectly, even in his own version of the telling.
This is a joke defense. Jurors have to be rolling their eyes at such ridiculousness. Katie was an idiot for not rolling on him. And he looks like hell lol Great injustice if the rest of the family doesnt go down as well bc if u think charlie would have done this without his mom pushing him to do so does not know this story.
After i watched all the trials in this case in my opinion Katie didnt have anything on charlie beside her words against him . As he said it * who are they gonna believe: an oral surgeon or a girl who is half of his age and an immigrant?
wow talk about smoke and mirrors. I think i will have to watch it 4 or 5 more times to compare all the lies to the truths in order to understand the complexities of the bullpoop flying around the courtroom. My heart goes out to Dan Markel's Mother, Father and sibling(s). 9 years of memorizing this horror story! We are the lucky audience who get to hear this mumbojumbo.
How could anyone on that Jury NOT be completely annoyed with this attorney? He loves the long pauses for dramatic effect. However, you're not supposed to do this upon every single half-sentence. As a 25-year sales executive and conference speaker, the pacing is way way over the top. He even says "Let me tell you... I have kept you waiting long enough" then grabs a bottle of water and slowly takes a drink while looking at the camera. Maybe this will make the nightly news, right? It's because he was trying to sell them such an absurd half-baked story... Well, half-baked is an overstatement right? This is absolutely absurd. They tried to overcorrect and come across as a comedy act. Charlie and his lawyer that is.
Katie was smart and beautiful???? Let’s see how you talk about her when she starts testifying the truth about Charlie!!! And btw June said he didn’t call her to talk while he was driving!!!!! 😅
Rashbaum loves the sound of his own voice. All of his dramatic pauses won't make him believable to the jury. He just demonstrates how full of himself he is.
11/17/223: Well now... this sure DIDN'T AGE WELL... listen to it again... from the start the Defense Attorney "has respect for Law Enforcement"???? Charlie Adelson's ridiculous defense falls apart immediately when he didn't contact Law Enforcement that night as soon as he claims he was "extorted"... it's a tough thing to say & admit Rashbaum... but the defendant (your client) & your defense has disrespected the law, the judicial system, the jurors, your profession, the community of Tallahassee, the Law Enforcement Professionals... and so much more. Charlie Adelson doesn't simply "like to talk" - he LOVES to lie. He's a predator, a convicted criminal of the worst kind, if Charlie "got advice" from Wendi? - she threw him under the bus & is footloose & fancy free as he will now rot in jail serving a life sentence. He told a "bad joke" as late as March of 2014"... Wendi repeated Charlie's bad joke on the day of the shooting! Good Ole Wendi didn't think the relocation motion would be granted?... but she clearly triggered her unstable mother & encouraged her to believe the opposite - Donna was weaponized (& she now is also sitting to rot in jail at age 73). You never addressed the "coincidence" that both siblings started relationships in the Fall of 2014 that in retrospect were nothing but setting up completely vulnerable people (& now Kaddie Magbanua pays a severe price for her participation like the father of her 2 children). Charlie got on the stand & testified that he told Kaddie that he would pay "one-third of $1 million" and directly referred to Rashbaum's Opening Statement - and also stated that this was what his lawyer said (???) @ 26:11 in the above - LISTEN TO THE STATEMENT that Charlie referred to - AND LIED! SIgfredo was really upset because part of the "deal" was that Charlie STOP dating Kaddie - and Charlie takes her jet skiing after the murder??? The "failed attempt" in June was ditched for the details of Dan's & the boys' schedule THAT REQUIRED WENDI's PARTICIPATION IN JULY Dude!! @ 40:59 Rashbaum says "Million Dollar Offer" a SECOND TIME!! (not 1/3 of $1 Million!) "He didn't have $1/3 Million" handy in his house so the monthly "extortion" payments WERE was the money owed for the hit! Charlie has also claimed he never talked to or knew who actually the hitmen were... so where did the Latin King's come into his "fear" of them (before Rivera was arrested in June 2016 @ 48:16 above)???? Then it unravels to not just "extortion" (which NOBODY believes) but Rashbaum doubles down and blathers about "the SECOND extortion"... pushing any luck he had into some irrational fantasy! Law Enforcement did not have the "Dolce Vita" recording until just prior to Charlie's arrest - That is NOT the "exact same evidence" (@ 48:56) as when Garcia, Rivera & Magbanua were arrested - DO NOT LIE TO THE JURY!!! There is NO STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS on Murder.... Rashbaum should be personally embarrassed by the above statement made by an Oath Sworn Officer of the Court - but we all know he is not - not embarrassed AND laughing his way to the bank.
Fact: Katie knows Charlie Fact: Katie knows Zigfredo Fact:Zigfredo killed Dan Fact: Katie and Zigfredo had a lot of cash after the murder Are all these facts just coincidence?
He is on my last nerve saying puzzle pieces. Yes it is a big puzzle in the puzzle pieces he's talking about all fits in the big puzzle that got Charlie convicted and his mom arrested and hopefully soon his sister and dad will be arrested. So yes puzzle pieces
This opening was outlright laughable! For an attorney to even get up there to claim that someone as obviously guilty was anything but 1000% guilty, is embarrassing for all defense attorneys. I really thought that, with all the time thay had to come up with a defense, they could have come up with something, no anything, more believable than extortion!
On one of the taped jail calls, after he was found guilty, Charlie says that Dan didn’t “take offer”. Rashbaum (In opening statements) and Wendi have said he wasn’t given the offer. He can’t keep lies straight.
Actually Charlie did have a complete moron for his lawyer… doubt he’ll get an appeal based on that, but RashBag is terrible 😂 probably the worst lawyering I’ve ever seen 😮 puzzle pieces 🧩 my asss….puzzle pieces with Charlie’s name, number and face all over them 😂
This lawyer is so unprepared, unorganized and he runs frequently to the judge . He came up with an extortion theory that he had learned about when he was in grade 5
I feel like I could do better and I'm a landscaper. No emphasis on the details that might create reasonable doubt. To be fair it is a difficult case to defend. If he wins, I will eat my words. Doubt it.

Well this defense lawyer just convinced me he is guilty as charged
Me too! Very weak defense.
Filed in the missing pieces of the puzzle.
Exactly
How many times does he just say puzzle pieces? What about them? He sounds like he has a vocal tic, not a defence..
Defense should have deferred and not make an opening. WTH was he thinking!?
Guilty AF. The whole family should be on trial. The defense they are attempting to use is pathetic.
What else could they of used, nothing. I’m surprised they came up with this crock that no jury in there right mind will believe 😊

Fact: Katie knows Charlie
Fact: Katie knows Zigfredo
Fact:Zigfredo killed Dan
Fact: Katie and Zigfredo had a lot of cash after the murder
Are all these facts just coincidence?
Puzzle pieces!! 😂💀
How Donna,Harvey,Wendy and Charlie could hug and kiss Dan kids when they plot to murder there Dad
Wendy can't afford a TV but "shes good for" the quarter mil she's gonna borrow from her brother. 😅😅😅😅
And also, she can’t afford a tv but she can afford the 3rd of a million that Donna wanted to offer Dan!
@@SweetSourMiss that's exactly what I meant.
Charlies defense should go to jail as well for taking his money 😂
He sat in jail for over a year? Why??? This is the dumbest defense I have ever heard. 😂
He is guilty, and Wendy should be on trial with him.
Next
Charlie attorney DONT MAKE NO SENSE... This man guilty... Period...!!
Charlie lawyer dig his grave and Charlie got in
His defense theory is cringeworthy. Huge L 😬
Uhoh! Defense lawyer "I've never said this about client before....."
Sure.
He is on my last nerve saying puzzle pieces. Yes it is a big puzzle in the puzzle pieces he's talking about all fits in the big puzzle that got Charlie convicted and his mom arrested and hopefully soon his sister and dad will be arrested. So yes puzzle pieces
This opening was outlright laughable! For an attorney to even get up there to claim that someone as obviously guilty was anything but 1000% guilty, is embarrassing for all defense attorneys.
I really thought that, with all the time thay had to come up with a defense, they could have come up with something, no anything, more believable than extortion!
Money trail = guilty
On one of the taped jail calls, after he was found guilty, Charlie says that Dan didn’t “take offer”. Rashbaum (In opening statements) and Wendi have said he wasn’t given the offer. He can’t keep lies straight.
He doesn’t want 1 million he wants his kids. Are asking why he didn’t accept?
Well he's dead, so saying that joke is now the 12 Angry Men moment friends
Actually Charlie did have a complete moron for his lawyer… doubt he’ll get an appeal based on that, but RashBag is terrible 😂 probably the worst lawyering I’ve ever seen 😮 puzzle pieces 🧩 my asss….puzzle pieces with Charlie’s name, number and face all over them 😂
How did Sigfredo know Charlies last name to accidentally call Harvey?
Sounds like no dentist would have Charlie more than 1 or 2 days a month.
I had to speed this up as he was speaking soooooo slooooow
This lawyer is so unprepared, unorganized and he runs frequently to the judge . He came up with an extortion theory that he had learned about when he was in grade 5
This defense is laughable.
A nice money grab especially when Charlie Adelson is guilty.
Fun to watch Charlie squirming.
That defense lawyer believes his self😂
This is brutal 😳
Dan the lawyer pauses in the middle of each sentence. Very annoying.
I can barely hear the audio. Maybe the sound technician should be brought up on charges.
The technician was extorted, into making the audio this bad.
This is yawn compared to the State’s opening.
There was another case where it was a “joke” as part of the defense strategy.
I can’t remember the case. Does anyone else recall?
Isnt the Dalia Dippolito Case?
@@silalily6961 idk but I will look into it. I just remember there was a case where the attorney referred to jokes, just jokes
Why does he need to read from his notes? He sounds insincere.
Wow. Finally!
Thanks to his defense lawyer this trail ended right here for Charlie…and he looks horrible 👀
Has Charlie ever been interviewed by the police?
that's a hard 46
He hates the guy so much that he kills the guy that Charlie hates. Just as much Wendy Adelson's husband, that's not going to work.
He's a great attorney, but the evidence is going to be overwhelming for the jury to dismiss.
Meh. He's pretty mid, imo.
@@franceshaypenny8481 I honestly can't think of how a lawyer could be better than this considering how bad of a situation he is in.
I feel like I could do better and I'm a landscaper. No emphasis on the details that might create reasonable doubt. To be fair it is a difficult case to defend. If he wins, I will eat my words. Doubt it.
Wendi is a states witness???!! Don’t tell me they are giving her immunity to tell on her brother! Her ass should be sitting right next to him!
She wasn’t given full immunity .. she can still be charged though her testimony in this trial cannot be used against her.
I wish him to stop saying PUZZLE PIECES
Now his mom is arrested. Thank god.
This time the dentist is not taking notes .
