- The state had its chance to question Charlie Adelson in the hitman conspiracy murder trial Friday. Prosecutors believe Addison hired several people to kill his former brother-in-law, Dan Markel. Chief Assistant State Attorney Georgia Cappleman worked to poke holes in Adelson’s story while Adelson tried to prove his innocence to the jury.

So many people have come to admire this prosecutor, she kept relentlessly coming after him, she's a rockstar!
Really?
and he seems to have a bs answer for everything
Theres something about the way she talks. Other prosecutors are not the same.
I agree. All of them are different. If you watch the trial of Stacey Castor, he and Georgia are the complete opposites. He’s loud, intimidating and theatrical.
Yes
She is
drops em
Iron fist in a lace glove 🧤
So you got the Latin Kings to put you on a law away plan?
Isn’t that right Doctor ??
If Donna has ti testify they’ll need to build a commode into the witness stand 😂
This fool actually thought he won the trial after this. 😂
😂😅🙄
According to him, he “shut her up!” As he sits locked up for life… Such a fool.
Donna raised this arrogant self righteous human all the while being a mommas boy . He did this to make her happy.
@@OldPuebloHops Or as I say, Buffoon. The perfect word to describe him.
The level of delusion is astonishing.
Charlie: “Sorry, You made me laugh.”
Georgia: “That’s what I’m here for.”
I LOVE HER! Awesome.
That part was soo cringe 😬
@@slyphwingAgree. It was so obvious he thought he had to laugh at her saying that again because he was caught laughing earlier when she said it to Wendi. When in actuality it just looked forced and like you said cringy.
It would have been magnificent if - at the sentencing - she was able to say to him “Do I amuse you now, Charlie?“!!
@@thetruthdatedr.4766to be honest his whole story is laughable
@@Strlrd1023or if she said "May God have mercy on yur soul, fuker."
I was beginning to think I'm mad. Looks like i'm not the only one who can't get enough of this. I have watched this over and over and over again. I'm a lawyer. Brilliant work here by Girl Boss Georgia. I never tire of this.
Totally agree.
I agree. Have you watched Georgia’s closing argument. It is a work of art.
I know. I jump around from law & crime, Carl Steinbeck, Shaming of Jay and others. I know I question my sanity too
@@kem6339I have. Brilliant!!!
It would’ve been nice if she hadn’t chosen to prioritize her career over justice tho
She’s dragged this case out to 10+ years and counting to milk the attention.
How many cases do you know of where the prosecution knows who all was involved and is still milking it 10+ years later with no new evidence
How Georgia managed to maintain her composure and professionalism during this cross examination is beyond me. How did she not laugh out loud at this ridiculous defense? Bravo Georgia 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This lawyer is excellent.
She came close though, at some point 😂😂.
@@fmmakate yes there were a few snarky comments 😂
He didn’t fool the jury was the main thing 😅
@@janefriel6895and she’s only begun - 4 down - 3 more trials to go getting the rest of the Alderson’s!!!
So nice to rewatch knowing he’s in prison knowing no one bought his bs
That's why I'm back. And I have popcorn 🍿😁🇬🇧
@@harvey2609 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Harvey next and I’m waiting it’s no way he’s the only one that doesn’t know 😂 this trial is so entertaining, no disrespect to Dan and his family, but watching his prosecutor run across his man’s face, he look like he would want to be anywhere but here😂😂
Wendi Wendi wendi
Actually its Wendy not him. Hes very cool
He’s so detached from reality that he thinks robbers allow their victims to setup a payment plan for their extortion 😂
😂😂😂
😂
🤣🤣🤣
Where I'm from they do
Have you heard of a protection fee scheme? Basically the same thing. Not all that uncommon.
I've watched this multiple times now and it just never gets old. Georgia is a legend. An extraordinary prosecutor. This cross was nothing short of brilliant.
He was DONE, as soon as he said he handed over 140 stacks, went and laid down with katie..... after she "got him approved" for paying $3000 monthly. Then claimed she said, "let's just pretend this never happened, i don't want to talk about this ever again". That's probably when the jury checked out.
I’m right there with you! Absolutely brilliant!
I’m with you too! Never understood why some so called “experts” thought her cross was lacking. It was brilliant and he loved showing the jury exactly who he was (and she expertly led him to do so).
@@jml5145 I wasn't aware that some "experts" said it was lacking. Maybe they picked the wrong field of work because I see nothing but brilliance in this close.
@@crimetimewithjess5366 Yes, Tim Jansen said her cross was “disappointing.” I had to think we have viewed different cross examinations! He didn’t say that about her closing. Both were brilliant in my view.
He got absolutely slaughtered on that stand. Humiliated. But in his mind, he knocked it out of the park and was going to be acquitted!
His lawyer scored him a 95 on the stand.😂
@@Deborah-vk3hq - It killed me to hear him bragging about the 95% he scored. The delusion is almost incomprehensible.
He’s so impressed with himself right now. lol
He’s has no idea how unlike able and arrogant he is
He reminds me of Prince Andrew during the BBC interview.
Yeah. He was picking out the restaurant he was going to go to and giving away his Raman noodles and pop-tarts. I re-listen to this trial just for the entertainment value.
Georgia is a SAVAGE & I'm here for it.
The woman is nothing short of epic. 😂😂😂😂
I’m watching this again because she’s so amazing! 💜👏💜👏💜
Really?
@@clubfillerspinkknickers9791 really. Don't be a hater
@@tab8896I don’t think he’s being a hater. He may be like me and think Georgia won because it was a slam dunk case. I feel she let Charlie slide a few times during this cross examination. Juan Martinez would have absolutely destroyed this guy
If I had something to hide, I certainly wouldn’t want to be cross examined by her😱
How she just asks the questions and doesn’t care about the answer. Cross examination 101 😂
Exactly!
She's amazing 👏
@@lisamooney1826 I agree lol. She just allows him to say whatever he wants without really challenging it because she knows it will allow the jurors to absorb his ridiculously unbelievable statements 😄😄😄
Georgia allows Charlie to put his slick, flippant attitude on full display. Charlie was proud that he had an answer for everything. He was well coached, but his arrogance was repellant.
@@louesparza8003 100%
Can’t get enough of this. I have watched this over and over again.
Same. Particularly his immature smirking, laughing at her using the f word and his true lack of insight
Yup, me too.
Same here! I was looking for something to listen to while having a long drive tonight, and this came to mind 😂 It’s even better watching after he’s been convicted! Georgia is hilarious in a subtle/professional way!
Me too!!
Me too, he's so immature. He's not smirking now !!
Adelson’s family wanted rid of Dan, now Dan is going to haunt them forever.
Is he?
Beetlejuice gonna be replaying this cross again forever knowing he’s a failure and a weakling bar mitzvah boy
Beetlejuice gonna be replaying this cross again forever knowing he got owned. Portrait of impotence
Dan is getting rid all of them
I like to think that Dan is at peace and dutifully watching over his two boys as their guardian angel. ❤🙏
Karma is what is happening here, big bad karma. ⚖️Justice for Dan Markel⚖️
Charlie is so in love with Charlie. The guy just can’t shut up.
He's arrogant on the stand because (as you might have heard in the recently jail calls) he really believed he was going to walk out of jail after getting positive feedback from his attorney Dan from a mock trial. He gave away his food and socks and Donna had packed a suitcase of street clothes for him.
Georgia Cappleman is a BOSS. She is amazing!
GC ROCKS!!!!
Georgia Cappleman prosecuted this case with sheer brilliance. Unlike the convoluted ramblings of Charlie whose narrative sounds like a 7th grade piece of fiction, Georgia beautifully knitted the events, the participants, the evidence into a finely crafted presentation that makes it easy to understand. The difference between Charlie and Georgia was night and day.
He sure is gullible to believe a defense attorney that was getting 1 million dollars from be honest about his chances. Sucker!!!!
I think his parents raised him to believe he’s a good boy no matter what. I would love to see who the brother is and if he’s actually a bad guy like this family says. That almost tells us a lot about who they are, and that Wendi and Charlie are the good ones?
Hahaha! For real? Did he think he was going to walk as a free man? 😂.
I just realized that Georgia is making the outline for her closing straight from Charlie's own testimony. I was anxious about how many things she just let go and seemed to let him off the hook. But she knew what to push on and what to hold off on until her closing! Brilliant!
So true. Besides Katie Magbanua, Charlie was the best witness against the defense. The absolute best. He should’ve never taken the stand. An unbelievable story told by a very foolish obviously guilty man.
Truth!
@mraereed Charlie thought he needed to testify as the evidences were obvious. He kept trying to give another meaning to what was obvious. He had the dirt on the killers but he was being extorted? Wait, what?
She wanted to use her time cross-examinating him wisely. It was a smooth move and it's funny bc he really thought he did so great to. He even gave away his prison items to other inmates 😂
I bet he's still obsessing over her closing arguments just like he did in the jail calls😂
@@YourHonorsOtherHalfhe definitely did way better than Georgia or any pundits or even myself would do. I obviously always knew he was involved with his family but he definitely did have a way better showing on the stand than I predicted.
Someone said this in chat, yesterday, and worth repeating here:
NEVER FORGET Danny was murdered because he loved his boys too much [and did not want to be separated from them in miami].
🙌
🙏🏽
😢❤PRAYERS FOR THE MARKEL KIDS, DAN (MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE) AND I pray the Markel family gets the innocent children. They are in serious danger with the Adelson psychos!!!
Sooo sad. He died because he cared about his kids!
It's tragic that Wendi was able to raise the kids. They're almost adults now, and she has probably brainwashed them to believe the Adelson's story.
This entire family is delusional if they believe a jury is buying what they’re selling. Charlie is the victim of extortion, and Wendy changed the last name of her sons because it is much worse to be associated with the name of a man who was murdered in his own garage than to carry the last name of the family accused of orchestrating it.
They’re making the prosecutors job easy.
I hope those kids get their proper last name back
Untrue. Wendi changed the kid's names because the family was receiving death threats.
@@steelcom5976 l don't believe that. I believe their names were changed as the final act in expunging any memory of Dan Markel from their lives.
@@steelcom5976and changing it to adeleson really helps things 😂 thank god you aren’t on the jury
@@steelcom5976 I always wondered what type of ppl believe Wendi's lies...
The fact that Charlie smiled, smirked and even laughed during this trial proved to the jury that he’s a dangerous person. Nobody in their right mind would ever laugh knowing their facing life in prison. He’s very arrogant!
He’s facing the death penalty, chair or injection in Florida….you get to choose
@vaijayanti_prememalcolm8160 state did not choose to go for death penalty
@@SS11660oh that’s too bad
VERY arrogant. But he’s the only one laughing. Watch how it ends for him.
I wouldn’t laugh in a situation where someone died. Much less if I were on trial for it.
When he and his sister mention Dan being cruel, they never mention what the “cruelty” was. I think the sister thinks being told NO is cruel and abusive.
That’s exactly it. Just like Amber Heard and Jodi Arias, not getting their way and being told no is an insult and cruel. While Wendi discarded Dan, he wasn’t going to let his kids go and fighting for them was cruel to her
Donna - same. How dare anyone tell her or hers no.
@@TH-camrepliesDonna was the mastermind behind all of this.
Bingo
@tabbylynn4130 I think Charlie was the mastermind. He did it for his parents approval. It seems they were always hard to please
The fact that his older brother wants nothing to do with his own family says it all.
Yeah he moved far away from these lunatics
strange heebs
A smart man ❤
And Donna’s brother doesn’t speak to her either
What a family huh?!😂😂😂
The whole Adelson family needs to go to jail!!
Mafia family. Led by the queen murderer. Mommie dearest 😅
Absolutely 💯
I’m sure the prosecutor is working on that because she hated Wendi 😂
Even miss Donna who can't handle stress.... what about Dans mom?
@@otu_na_naaniwho doesn't hate wendy
I like how Dan mother is there even at the end of listening to jury instructions she is a strong lady and l hope she gets justice for her son.
Which one is his mom?
Me too!
Notice whose mom didn't show up.
She has a round face with blond hair with a part.@@MelissaBartoli
I hoe and pray she will end up with the children to raise,and the other grand mom ends up behind bars for her part in this.
The way he treats the prosecutor is an accurate description of the kind of man he is. I wonder how that attitude is working out for him in jail.
I’m surprised the judge didn’t ask him to stick to the question and only answer the question that’s being asked of him
@@lewchootrain The judge made sure to let everything in so he will never be able to appeal.
The way Georgia continues to refer to him as "Doctor" is absolutely genius to me. She is creating a juxtaposition of perceived intelligence and then allowing for Charlie to absolutely diminish that with his ridiculous explanations.
😊😊9

Not genius, sarcasm.
I agree it's total sarcasm on her behalf, I'm saying it was a genius play. @@hastyone9048
Like the vocabulary .. juxtaposition
I can’t stop watching this trial. This might be my 5th time watching this cross-examination. It’s jussssst.. so good.
Me too
Ahhh me too😂😂😂 HELP
Makes me feel good to know other regular people have the same weird obsession as me with these cases. I’m watching it now very interested….shocked.. as if I never saw it lol
I can't decide which trial is better ...this one or Jonny Depp/Amber Heard????
This one
Every time Charlie and Wendi say “absolutely not” they are lying.
Everytime they open their mouths they seem to lie 🤔🫣
Absolutely yes
I agree
Yep, it's a very clear tell.
Or when Charlie licks his lips, it’s telling of his nervousness (as well as his delight of his perception of giving a great answer.)
I love this woman, she’s subtly hilarious and professional at the same time 😂
my favorite line of hers in this was the layaway.
the video of her questioning his sister was as evidenced by the banana bread.
😂
I got that sense too...she seems the type to become unhinged as soon as she gets home hahah
Georgia to Charlie - "Bit of dental humor can't hurt" 😂
Charlie is FLOORED that the jury didn’t buy his ridiculous story
😂😂 of course because he is a very “smart” man and no one but his mother and him have common sense😂
Imagine that?🙄
My 5 yr old grandson could come up w/a better story.
his strategy was to find one gullible juror
His story is even more ridiculous than Dahlia Dippolito's. He could have blamed the space aliens with the same success.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha, Lol, this made me burst out laughing
Hilarious 😂😂😂
This needs to be a shirt 😂
Now that’s funny
If I were on the jury and hearing everything for the first time, with no prior knowledge of this case nor the people involved, there is no way I would believe Charlie Adelson's ridiculous story. Using common sense alone would be enough to know this man is a liar and a murderer.
Thank you so much for saying that. I wish we could find actual people on here who are new and haven't kept up until watching this trial.
Exactly, the story makes no sense at all. If the Latin Kings wanted money from Charlie, they would have robbed him.
I would've liked to have seen this trial without any prior knowledge.
@@marshapieroni6677I knew NOTHING about this trial until opening statements, and I find him not guilty! Everyone else I spoke with say they've been waiting for this trial for years, so their mind was already made up even before hearing evidence, or supposed evidence. There's not ONE piece of evidence linking Charles to this crime. Katie pointed this off and manipulated both sides! Money and violence is a powerful yet deadly combination, and Katie was the mastermind in this.
😂😂😂
I love how at 01:31:11, he says, “I do have concerns for when I GET OUT”. Dude !! You’re going NOWHERE!!
I thought the same thing, now he won’t have to worry because he’s not getting out. Thank god
😂
Maybe he thought "when I get out of the courtroom"..........nah..... you're right, he really DID think he was going to beat this 😂
Never getting out 😊😊
Yeah he’s now living in a smelly prison in South Dakota forever.
It’s kind of funny but Louis Rivera with a 6 th grade education turns out to be smarter then Charlie the dentist! Lol
I observed the same thing. It’s easy if you’re not lying.
can’t buy street smarts.
So true!
👍💯
Very true! Charlie is also arrogant
Charlie’s lies are outrageous
You put that in a nutshell. It's what all of this brouhaha boils down to: Charlie's outrageous lies.
The jury isn’t going to like this family,guaranteed!!!
albeit creative! lol
The prosecutor was brilliant yes but like his defence story by its self was enough to convict him 😂
@@whysodamloud 🤣🤣🤣 Amen!
He missed his own lie when the attorney said " your mom said 'the TV will be about 5," and he said "I wish she'd PICKED ANOTHER OBJECT on planet earth" essentially admitting Donna PICKED THE "WORD" as the ongoing code word for the hit, instead of it being an actual TV.
I missed that even though l remember hearing it in his cross examination! I hope this comes up again in Donna's trial.
WOW! Excellent observation.
I noticed that too
YEP!
I noticed that, but he would have an excuse for that slip-up
So Katie was doing all the talking in the car? We have seen no evidence that Charlie lets other people speak.
Bi~lingual, Spanish English
This is too funny 😅
Everytime she addresses him as "doctor", the jury dislikes him a little more 😂
yep
😂😂
rashbaum avoids calling him doctor says something
That's the point.😂
@@dakalodk She didn't address Lacasse as "Professor". She wants the jury to see Lacasse as one of them and to see Charlie as a pompous jerk who thinks he's better than them
I can’t stop watching. This is my favourite bedtime story. Lol
No jokes… me too!
Same! 😂
Well OJ will be set free....
Me most haha

How does a person get blackmailed....for something "they didn't do"???
IKR?
They'd just go to the police 😊
🤣🤣🤣RIGHT!!!😂
That story was the best they could come up with. The gang killed Markel so they could frame the rich Adelsons, and then extort them. Didn't work, but wasn't a bad try. Now only if the REAL kingpin (Wendi) was in jail too.
And he smugly tried to allude to the fact that the prosecutor didn't know the difference between Blackmail and extorsion when basically the two are interlinked, there is no extorsion without the blackmail.
This lady prosecutor must be the first intelligent woman that Charlie adelson interacted with. He was otherwise surrounded by not the sharpest women who he could dominate.
Including his sister Wendi
😂
Amen to that
Poor June still thinks somehow Charlie didn't do this😂
@@juliegruber5254 unfortunately with criminal minded intelligence
Georgia Cappleman is outstanding. She ripped him to shreds layer by layer. SO precise and composed. I wouldn't want to be on the stand with her grilling me. She HAMMERED him. Charlie's explanation is preposterous. Absolutely LUDICROUS.
Georgia is fiercely brilliant 🎉
She has that smirk 😏

I did!😂😂😂
He has to laugh whenever he hears a naughty word? Is he an 8 year old?
This fool talked himself right into a life sentence.
It made me sick when Charlie said his mom doesn’t like his older brother. Feels like his trying to shade his brother. The older brother is probably actually smart and didn’t let mommy manipulate him and that’s why he’s disliked.
Oh but mommy dearest did do that to Robert too. He was in love with a “non Jew”. And Donna would not let that happen. Ever! So she forced him to break up with her. And marry a Jewish woman that she picked. He was so miserable. So he finally divorced her. And went running back to his love of his life. They have been married since with children. And he cut off all contact with his family. Best decision he ever made.
Don’t forget that Donna also forced Wendy to marry Dan as well. (Donna picked him out on the Jewish dating app..) This woman is such evil. And her kids have done everything she wanted. So of course, when Dan got balls to stand up for himself and his children. He had to go. Sick family.
So glad Donna is finally in jail. It’s the best news. Of course, right after Charlie’s conviction. lol.
@momwithaplan1287 Thank you for that information, I had no clue how vile Donna is.
@@momwithaplan1287And here I thought Donna was a raging antisemite based on her comments towards Dan. “Religious extremist,” not keeping his sons diet kosher, enrolling them in Catholic school, etc. What an odd woman.
Seems like the older brother is the only one with any common sense! He took himself far away from his psychotic mother!
@@momwithaplan1287 But how does she get her grown children to do her bidding? That's what is so mysterious. But let's not let Papa Adelson off the hook. He, I'm sure, put on just as much pressure.
Our relationship got Shtronger after she extorted me 😂😅🤣
😂😂 I know lol! He reminds me of Peter Brady "Pork chops and applesauce"
I remember that episode 😂
Definitely a rehearsed line - just like "our relationship was on the rocks" - he defaults to those answers when he gets anxious
He's such a liar. The entire family is guilty
As a former divorce litigator, It's hard to listen to this testimony because gaslighters are so good at covering their tracks, despite the ridiculous story. Kudos to the prosecutor. The hardest thing in a trial is examining this kind of liar because they are so practiced that they come across as being honest for people who aren't wise to them.
Isn't a part of a prosecutor's job gaslighting?
@@kelly8107
Guilty parties gaslight. They think they're smooth operators because they have the general population / the naive fooled.
A good prosecutor unravels their bs testimony for what it is.
Anyone with half a brain knows that.
Prosecutors gaslight? Nice try.
He’s an incredibly effective witness. The only reason he’s in prison now is that his alibi was completely ridiculous but imagine if his alibi was even slightly plausible. He’d be free today.
To your point btw, compare his voice on the stand to his voice in the wiretaps. Not only was he practiced, dude even changed his intonation for the trial. I don’t think anyone has ever done that ever. People underestimate the level of preparation he put into this.
The only commitment he gad in this case is that he financed the whole case, that was proven in line with the ex girlfriend who is the MAIN GIRL here
The narcissism runs DEEP within this family!! By the time this is all over, they will ALL be in jail!! Mom, dad, brother, and sister!! Those little boys WILL be orphaned!!! This is absolutely heartbreaking!!
Worst family ever. Donna destroyed her miserable kids except Robert who got out. The markels, the grandchildren, etc. we’re all destroyed by her miserable plan. Total coward letting this dope fall on the pathetic family sword
Actually they wouldn’t be orphaned…they would still have the “Markel” side of the family.
If it happens, by the time it does, they will be much older. And besides, they have 2 wonderful grandparents who will take good care of them.
@watchmeheal1176. I wonder if the kids inherited the narcissism gene or it’s just learned behavior. It would be interesting to know how their brothers moral gauge is.
@@f7e8t9i3I certainly hope the Markel family gets custody, but lots of damage has already been done emotionally. Pretty sad.
Every time the prosecutor addresses Charlie as 'doctor,' she is reminding the jury of his privilege, arrogance, and him being untouchable. It’s an effective tactic
The man's a fool
Agree ! Another mistake ! Rashy should have told him to tell the prosecutor call me Charlie !! He wouldn’t have appeared as arrogant and privileged ! We need complete justice for Dan Markel , the Markel family had finally the boys !!
Thats said often but to me personally I saw it more as this man (while clearly Charlie specifically does not seem intelligent Ill admit) was able to complete "medical school" do be a dentists, adapt to new ideas & complex problem solving & looking at something for the most effective outcome & all the other skills one must learn over the years of continued education.... & he "never thought" to talk to the extortionist?? Who she didnt hammer home unfortunately he said he didnt know had ANY gang involvement when Katie 1st extorted him but was scared for his life? Over katies "friend?" What?? Lol

“So Katie negotiated a layaway plan with the Latin Kings on your behalf”? I’m lmfao rn
"knock yourself out" this prosecutor is such a badass
"That's what I'm here for" and "evidenced by the banana bread" when Wendi was on the stand are my favorites.
Both Charlie and his lawyers live in a fantasy world. I can't believe that they truly believed that the Jury was going to buy all those bs.
That's called delusional
Charlie is delusional. Lawyer got paid 😂
Money talks. Laywers will "believe" anything if you pay them enough.
When I have a few hours spare, I just love watching this back to see georgia totally destroying his TRUTH😅 she's outstanding 👏 👌
Me too,I've watched this a few times since,are you looking forward to seeing her in September? 👍
@GA-fz2wt oh yes, definitely with Donna. lol been waiting for this like forever? Then it's wendi 🙏
How in the world did Charlie and Donna think his testimony went well?
They live in a world where they make their own rules..and they're always right.
The arrogance this man has is unbelievable. I can’t believe he actually testified…it did nothing positive for his case.
I can’t wait until Donna testifies, and I believe she will because she won’t be able to have any self control.

So Katie walks in, tells Charlie that her Latin king friends just murdered Dan & they’re going to kill him too unless he pays them $333k. He only has $138k but he hands that over to Katie & agrees to $3k a month for the balance. Then they rake a Xanax & cuddle….
Sure Charlie …..

Lol 😂
That about sums it up 🤣🤣🤣.
You can't make this 💩 up!
It makes perfect sense to me. She got him approved for easy installments of only $3000 per month, interest free. He was so elated after the approval, he wanted to bond with her.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This may go down as one of the most ridiculous and unbelievable defenses of all time. He would have been better off taking a plea deal and testifying against his mom and/or Wendi.
He can’t remember if he saw Wendi’s interview with police but names Tuesday April 25 of 2015 as to something he said. What a crock of crap
He was too confident of himself and probably never had someone say NO to him because he flashed his wealth. He was thinking his charisma would make the story convincing. He was wrong.

@@Carolina-uf2ipEspecially since she threw him under the bus immediately. Like he didn't know😮😮
41:00 is very telling about Donna as a mother. The fact one of your children could say you don't like another specific child is abhorrent.
Isn’t that disgusting.
And it’s all because he married a non-Jew. These people are such bigots.
@@Kaymeronthey were both jews
That was a telling slip, I thought so too
It’s a typical sign of a truly narcissistic mother. They’ll have a “golden child” and a “scapegoat”. My mom to this day is like this and I’m 30 (the youngest). She openly admits how she doesn’t like my sister. It’s really sad bc it actually makes both the children feel bad, creates mental issues and will even put the kids in an unhealthy competition. Luckily my sister and I realized this and sought help after 2 years of not speaking. Now we both have a distant relationship with her. People now days confuse selfishnesses with narcissism and overuse it but in this case, I fully believe she and Wendi have it.
Her tone and her speaking voice are PERFECT. If she were your momma, you could never lie to her. 🤣
No kidding.
Mom: Did you sneak out of the house?
You: Yes! Don't hurt me!
facts. her kids dont get away with 💩
He sank his own battle ship when he said the extortionist spent the night and had some sweet sweet zanny-land dreams.
😂😂 Agree😂😂
He was sunk when he tried to spin this ridiculous tale
When he was really was acting frantic in order to push a xanax on her to keep her there until Dan was pronounced dead bc he lived for 14 hours. He didn't want to give her all that money if he lived. COLD AF put them under the jail.
She couldn't leave with the money until Dan passed. That is so telling. The Adelsons were not going to pay for a botched job and a survivor
How does he keep a straight face when he says “actually, I did talk about the extortion on the wire. At the Matsuri meeting, when I whispered in my Dad’s ear, that’s what I was taking about”. Wow. The Jury must have all been thinking this guy is a creep, get him away from us.
I can't imagine why he hated Dan so much to have him killed. If my sister wanted full custody of her kids, would I hire a hitman for her? They're not going to be kids forever, and I would be risking throwing away my whole life for her. Weird , strange family who act like mafioso's.
He didn't have Dan killed. KM set the whole thing up. Extortion.
Charlie and at least his mom arranged it benefit to Wendi..dad too? Don't know
@@andrearel3703Hi Charlie 😅
That's crazy that he thinks that people would believe anything he's throwing out there! You would have tobe weak minded to believe that!
VERY dysfunctional ppl involved in this case. 😳👎😡
I could listen to Georgia all day. She's that good
Him laughing everytime she says “f*cker” is so immature and arrogant. He really thought this was a joke.
Exactly. He is the joke.
It’s not professional, When I was in court a few weeks no professional or prosecutor or attorney ever used that kind of talk, it was spelled out.. that part would make me uncomfortable and maybe laugh
I mean I probably would have laughed too
@@nancygordon5473 She was reading defendant´s own words from texts exchanged between co-conspirators - exactly what you consider unprofessional?! Those are not her words, it´s factual evidence.
Especially since the Markel's are sitting within 25 ft
Then goes on to blame everyone but himself after the verdict.
Charlie is talented. He is able to gaslight himself.
Charlie trying to act all doe-eyed innocent like his sister! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Absolutely they're like clones lol....
It looks pathetic. That lost stare 😂😂😂😂
Totally
Yeah like a fawn in the headlights
I think hus story doesn't even mske sense to him. Katie "stop talking to me, delete my number" so how will you pay your gang peps now? They just like, nah since yall not talking we won't worry about the other 300k
His demeanor with the prosecutor vs his demeanor with the defense is very telling!
He thinks he is so clever, he ain’t clever enough. He’s as guilty as sin. His arrogance is sickening.
I feel horrible for ALL of the kids involved in this case, but it does feel like poetic justice that Charlie won’t get to raise his son just like Dan didn’t get to raise his boys.
I don't believe that Charlie ever wanted to be a father. He loved his bachelor lifestyle and no kid "farting in his face." I hope Bree finds a great guy to be a good father to her son.
When he was talking to his son Roman he sounded sincere that he loved his son. But I agree because he didn’t live with them. He still ran around like he wanted.
I feel terrible the Markel folks hafta watch this
Roman’s probably doomed either way - but his chances of finding any success or happiness (while still remote) are higher with Charlie incarcerated or passed on
💔💔💔
If I were a juror, the part of the whole thing that would tell me not to believe a word of this man’s testimony is the recordings of him talking to his mother and his girlfriend in code. You only do that if you are guilty and are worried the cops will hear you. Why else would his mother not just come out and talk to him directly? And why wouldn’t he talk directly. They’d have no reason to fear the cops hearing their conversation if they were not in cahoots on a murder for hire.
I agree 100%
I only hope the jury sees through his ridiculous, arrogant lies.
💯💯 stated perfectly.
Exactly, Latin Kings don't tap phones. The police do. If members of the Latin kings extorted you after killing your brother in law why wouldn't you go to the police to get them locked up. He is on the stand blaming the Latin Kings now so what's the difference. He should be more afraid now then ever telling lies about the level that they were involved. He is in custody with a lot of these members and has nowhere to hide. As far as I am concerned the only good Adelson are Wendi's sons and the oldest brother Rob. He removed himself from this family, and for good reason. Wendi and her mother need to be right along side Charlie at this point.
@@TruthOnly24hahaha true
This prosecutor’s career is going to skyrocket, she’s going to be so popular after this…. she is super talented and very effective…. A star is born
Yea. She is very good.
I'll try to keep her humble after we marry and have 35 kids.
I'll try to keep her humble after we marry and have 35 kids.
God, he’s frustrating. Doesn’t answer the questions properly, goes around and around
And the judge allowing it
Always making sure to rephrase the questions to his satisfaction, even the yes or no ones. Sneaky and smirky.
Not sure why the prosecutor allows him to elaborate with every answer… it’s a yes or no… but he’s getting to add a lot of “context” with every answer1
Just like Wendy and the Magbuana piece of work!
Ha! Good point. He is very rehearsed. Reminds me of Alec Murtaugh on the stand.
Law enforcement dropped the ball many times. 9 years later?
He thinks hes being so charming yet fails to realize he is acting in no way how an innocent person facing life in prison acts..
And because he's a narcissist he thinks he's smarter than everyone else!! 🙄
@charlotte_stevens yes!
This is so ridiculous it's almost humorous. He's so arrogant, he actually thinks the jurors are buying this crap. Guilty. The whole family should be in jail.
for tha rest of us, who's " he "
thx hun
This prosecutor has been spectacular from the very beginning. I am amazed at how smug this guy is in the face of such a professional unraveling of his BS
He has too! Imagine if he became unraveled on the stand? I DO notice he’s swallowing A LOT!!!! 😂
She is absolutely not spectacular! Are you kidding me? She sounds amateurish. If he's guilty she is doing nothing to convince me, if I were a juror. His story may be a load bull but he has been consistent in his answers. The guy has her looking like an amateur. She needs to do better than grasping at straws and guessing!
@@A.Walker. Charlie’s story is so preposterous!! I mean come on! It really shouldn’t matter about her ability cross examining him. Never in the history of planet earth has ANY DRUG LORD ALLOWED A PAYMENT PLAN!!
@a.walker she is measured, direct and asking leading questions. This isn’t Matlock. Or some other courtroom procedural. This is how prosecution is done in the real world. Gets the witness to lie or change their story. Just because he comes off as polished, he’s changing his story on several occasions.
@@A.Walker. You're confusing confidence for consistency. He claims he didn't use codewords then admits to calling weed "bonsai trees" to avoid the appearance of criminal conduct. He recommends Katie murder her extortionists while he's content to set up a payment plan for his own peace of mind when he's extorted. He carries a gun and has a safe to protect his property and person but he never uses either of them. In fact, after she extorts him he sleeps with her and lets her leave the next day with the cash. Oh and best of all he claims the murder he's discussing with Katie is the hypothetical murder for her double secret extortion, not the conveniently timed murder of Dan Markel. He had all the answers but they don't match the facts of the case. She impeached the snot out of him.
Dealing with liars is not easy.
He's not even a good liar
So difficult- her experience is showing she’s seen liars
He tried to gaslight every single person listening to this. Literally tell us that what we saw and heard was not true.
Extortion layaway payment plan 🤣😂🤣😂 AND this is exactly why lawyers usually advise the defendant not to testify lol.
Charlie's lies are so incredible the prosecutor struggled not to laugh in his face.
Katie, Sigfredo and Luis had not clue of Dan Markles schedule. Luis and Sigfredo’s knowledge is through Katie through Charlie. Extortion is BS.
Their knowledge of Dan's schedule is lastly, through Wendi. Don't forget her.
@@EllEss331Yes, mainly through Wendi!
Katherine Magbanua is the only guilty party. Let's get it right!
How would anyone who didnt know Dan, know his precise schedule / location that morning? They'd have to know from someone who knew Dan's schedule that day. Charlie by means of Wendi.
Wendi just so happened to practically put herself at the crime shortly after Dan was executed? Coincidence? Highly unlikely.
Also, not too many are taking note of the TV that was supposedly broken by Wendi's sons.
I heard / listened to a reliable source online state that the TV was heavily damaged and couldn't possibly be from a child or small children breaking it.
Damaged appeared as though it was done with force and by a heavy object. Something young children couldn't possibly do.
I think it may be Wendi, damaging it, to help with her alibi the morning of the murder.
( her having this TV issue with the repairman at her house the morning the murder took place. Helps her out that she had nothing to do with the murder since she was home with the repairman that morning.
That's why she wanted to go by the crime scene to confirm the hit was done because she didn't want to talk with Charlie that the hit was done because it would be a traceable call.
I also think she and Charlie could've had burner phones so they could communicate without anyone knowing.
@@EllEss331 yes Charlie got Dan’s schedule from Wendy
Charlie thought he could handle Georgia… wrong. Go Georgia! Justice was served!
She got him by the b***s!
I was so doubtful when she started this cross because she allowed him to repeat his "extortion" story so often in what turned out to be contradicting detail. I thought she was way too easy on him in the beginning but no! His own words sunk him as she subtly got what she needed and more! A privilege to watch, |'m going to try and find other filmed cases she's done.
I live how she questioned him, it was sarcastic and she let him ramble even apologizing for interrupting. That was good because he would tell another life. The way she was asking him automatically made him look as if were lying. I don't know how Dan's family sat there without showing emotion.. I feel so bad for them
@@honeyowen3163 she is mid for sure, I agree with you
She was excellent. It's listening to someone like her that makes me wish I'd become a prosecutor!
I have literally watched this 10 times. It's ridiculous how I can't stop 😂

For what?
My personal opinion Charlie made a bad mistake by taking the witness stand I don't think the outcome if I sat on that jury I would have convicted him in 5 minutes he's smarter than everyone else
@@dellmiller5082 He’s so smart he’s doing a life sentence
I'm not sure what for. Seems a bit over her head
@@travismoore8337hes not sentenced yet 12/12
The fact that his laughing when Dan’s parents are in the court is crazy.
He's evil like the whole family
He has the audacity to say he was too upset to go to the funeral.
After saying he thought Wendy marrying Dan was the biggest mistake of her life.
@@ajordan1976Wendi not wendy 🙄
I think many did not think Georgias cross was effective but I disagree. She was very good at the exposing the ridiculousness of his story.
I thought originally it was poor but after rewatching I changed my mind she totally dismantled his extortion story
I thought so, too, but then I realized she knew she wouldn’t get anywhere with him and his rehearsed story, so she set up her closing argument instead.
@anthonym3351 The Latin King extortion layaway plan 😂😂
he starts blinking when she is nailing him
I cannot believe Charlie and his lawyer thought this “extortion” story would be the winning ticket to getting Charlie out of prison. Also, on the jail calls to Donna, Charlie never mentions being extorted.
It wouldn't be the lawyer. Lawyers cannot knowingly lie to the court.
@@steelcom5976but they do.
Such a childish story, out of words for this. "Fantomas came to town" would be more believable
@@steelcom5976lol you probably think you have the greatest justice system in the world too right
This guy is unbelievable how calmly he lies
He is so full of it.
His sister and his mama are full of it too.
This is the most ridiculous defense! Right, Kati was protecting him, he was so afraid! Who wouldn't have gone right to the police??!!
If his story is true he is tje biggest p*ssy in town.
Seriously! I’m poor and I woulda gone straight to the police if someone killed my bro in law then attempted extorting me. And Charlie is rich, he could have very well protected himself, moved, left Florida. Story not credible from every aspect. Guilty as charged!
Guilty
EXACTLY.....that really does it right there.....even though Georgia's prosecution seems weak....she has let him lie himself right into prison.
@@waynefoote3781 exactly!!
I can't believe how anyone in that courtroom could maintain a straight face while listening to this clown. 😅
🙏 My respect to Danny's family 🙏
Did he REALLY expect anyone to buy his story????
The ironic thing is Luis Rivera the Latin King seemed to be the most credible witness in all the proceedings. The only way Charlie could have reasonable doubt in my mind was if he or anyone he knew went to the police, and/or if he distanced himself from the extortionists, and neither happened.
If I never hear the word extortion or extortionist again it'll be too soon!
Alleged extortionists. I agree luis rivera is the most credible witness and if there had been extortion he would have revealed it. Like Luis said, it would have been easier to rob “the lady” (wendi). Wasn’t it nice of the extortionists to not require charlie to pay the full $333,000. Totally unbelievable. Extortionists are in it for the money and charlie was making $850,000-$900,000 in 2013 & 2014 per charlie.
He slept with his extortionist😂
@@ileneclarke9954 I agree. Sounds very implausible.
@@ileneclarke9954 and on the same night he was first extorted. 😂
One of the scariest part for me is the mom teaching the kids to get rid of their "problems " this way..and teaching in school
Very dysfunctional family, the Adelson's. Katherine & her "friends" are dysfunctional & violent. They're criminals & gang members Luis Rivera & Sigfredo Garcia. I think Charlie Adelson will be found GUILTY. He is arrogant, manipulative & believes laws don't apply to him or his family. Many moral & ethical issues involved. Geez!!🤬👎⚖️
