    Thank Mr.Geiger for looking out his window, after he heard a loud noise coming from Dan's home. Those 10-14 seconds seeing a green Prius speed away solved this case. Without the next door neighbor getting up from his sofa, this case is most likely still a unsolved murder (cold case ).

    • @bonjovirocks24
      @bonjovirocks24 Рік тому +42

      Exactly!! It's a good lesson to get to know your neighbors, and if you see or hear something, call 911 immediately. Too many people blow it off, or post that stuff on social media or Ring Neighbors instead of calling 911 with what details just happened. Too many times, people hear a loud bang or screaming and do nothing. This neighbor is a hero, along with everyone else working this case.

    At 56:00:00 Charlie states "It's not like YOU'RE driving around in a Bentley, cruising around in a mega yacht." Infers "I didn't give you enough money that would have resulted you in becoming a multi-millionaire" (like him), "The cash I gave you was shared by you, Garcia and Rivera and your benefit from the payment would not be OBVIOUS."

This time around they have more concrete evidence. Go get ‘em Georgia!

    Tell me why when Georgia Cappleman can give a closing argument based on the facts and nothing personal. And do such a brilliant job. That then the Defense can spend so much time on Kattie personally. I really don't understand how her being a single mother or how long she has been in jail and didn't plea should matter! It is NOT evidence, yet they tried it last time and it worked. The jury was hung, and it almost worked again. It was Georgia's rebuttal that made it very clear that the jury's decision should have NOTHING to do with any of Kattie's personal situations. I'm so thankful that THIS jury listen to Georgia because after hearing what one person on the jury said that they spent some time on the issue of Kattie being locked up for so long and not taking a plea. None of that should've even been brought up by the Defense, so idk if this is something Florida allows. At the end of the day justice was served. I'm looking forward to Charlie's case.

      I suspect Rivera had no idea of and is subsequently extremely angry at Magbanua for facilitating the murder with people from the 'other side of the hood'. Rivera has likely 'got away' with many criminal acts for years due to his affiliation with other 'street smart' individuals and the Latin Kings. The Adelson's are not street smart, although Charlie, while stapling his $100 bills and driving around in his Ferrari, likes to think he is also 'street smart' 🤣 and would have portrayed this to his family and friends. His connections alone do not warrant this title, far from it. Wendi and Donna have fallen hard for this!

    Might avoid a lot of strife, even murder, down the road.
