Carl, You are the only lawyer I can listen to about the Dan Markel murder case on TH-cam. You give it to us straight. Even the things we may not want to hear, like Charlie's appeal having a chance. And you call out the slow pace one at a time strategy as not only justice delayed but also a bad strategy for getting defendents to turn on each other. I really appreciate your zeal for justice for the honorable Markels. (Your well chosen words). You are a mature voice of reason in this Florida hurricane of a case! Thanks so much!
Carl, thank you for always keeping us informed and explaining the legal process and procedures. You're one of only two attorneys I've seen here on TH-cam that truly seem to care about the Markel's getting justice. Happy Holidays to you and your lovely bride.
It's always nice to hear all of your wisdom. I wish you would come on here more often, but I understand. Congratulations on your marriage you certainly know how to pick 'em, you have a beautiful bride and you're not so shabby yourself. ❤
Merry & happy season Carl!!! Just saw your hilarious reaction to CA defense as presented in court by Rashbum . One day we shall get full justice on this case🙏🏻❤️
9:20 No, intro jingle 😂.. perfect example of something that is absolutely not needed…. just no nonsense professionalism an clear commentary here… thank you again and again…. Carl, John, Ben and all others that help with the broadcast, justice for Dan the Boys & all the Markel’s🙋♂️👍
I can’t believe this family really thought they were gonna get away with killing him. The boys are probably teenagers by now and their mom needs to face trial and go to prison for the rest of her life.
Hi Carl just back from miami florida was on a cruise. I couldn't help to think About Donna adelson getting arrested in the same airport...it's such a big place...Justice for the Adelsons family all the way. . Love your podcasts Joan from Ireland 🇮🇪
I always appreciate all your time you are able to give to us to go over this case! My heart still breaks for his sons! I pray those boys look up who their dad really was. Congratulations on your wedding!! Of course, Always best wishes! Hope your brother is doing well also.
Thank you for deciding not to have an intro jingle ugh! I come here because you take this case so seriously, to heart, are always on point and have the best knowledge. Merry Christmas to you & Leslie 🎄 ❤
Just a thought about Donna and Wendi that makes them look bad....wouldn't innocent people embrace the victims family and share their grief and try to relieve some of the burden that the Markells are carrying??? The Adelsons all ran and hid from the Markells and increased their grief at least 100 fold in an effort to save themselves with absolutely no concern for the victims....to me this speaks volumes about the low character of the Adelsons and their guilt....am I missing something? Or is there nothing to see here? The actions of the Adelsons are unacceptable if they are innocent....and totally understandable if they are guilty....hmmm??
I hope the prosecutor uses the phone call Donna had with Charlie's baby mama where she refers to Dan's boys as "my boys". She was recommending some kind of educational activity or book that she thought Charlie's son would benefit from because her boys did so well with it. She was obsessed with being a parental figure to those boys. She knew it would not be possible if Dan was in the picture. I will never understand how someone could be so evil.
Wow I forgot about this .. now to think the person that actually did this is free. There will be no justice for Dan until his wife Wendi is in prison .. if it wasn't for Wendi ..Dan would still be living on earth
Carl, I have been suspicious of D.R. since the beginning. The fact the new defense has to get discovery from the prosecution seems sketchy to me. What is Dan hiding? I believe he should be investigated. Justice for Dan Markel! 🙏
One of the wildest parts of this whole thing is how long it's taken to charge and prosecute the adelsons. It was clearly a hit by hire, yet the state seemed to hesitate on charges despite all of the evidence proving their guilt!
@Energymc2 yeah, i don't get that. I can see how they might not have enough on harvey and wendy, but there is so much evidence against donna and charlie. If they had enough to convict magbanue, they've always had enough to convict charlie and donna.
@sba8710 they didn't need it imo. But my point is that she's the middleman...basically they had to prove both sides of that connection to convict her.
Woohoo, that marriage hat looks so good on you! Thanks for the content Carl. Was looking for you last night and landed on Emily's channel. Settling in with my morning cuppa now to listen 🎉
Another great video Carl. My internet is not always the greatest where I live, so I watch on replay most of the time. I am wondering if the prosecutor can bring in Charlie’s testimony transcript as an exhibit to impeach whatever crazy story they come up with. Its unbelievable the Adelsons have been able to get away with murdering Dan for so long. Hoping for justice in 2025.
Carl, Always good to get your take on things. Donna's current counsel ought to have known better than to even consider communicating with any investigator(s) who worked with Rashbaum, let alone ask the judge if it's OK to do so. They must never forget that Rashbaum and anyone who was on his team at any point in time needs to be kept in strict legal quarantine. It will be interesting to see if Donna testifies. In this situation, it seems imperative that she tell her story (whatever that may be). By the same token, Georgia or Sarah would rip her to shreds on cross. Talk about a Hobson's choice.
My faith in the justice system in Florida is sadly lacking in their failure to arrest Wendi. It’s depressing to watch the rich slip in between the raindrops while the poor are likely to get unmotivated and overburdened public defenders. Sad.
I think about Donna because I am her age. What kind of a woman would take part in killing her son in law? You don’t like him okay but that’s not your problem. Mother in laws not minding their own business have been making the lives of their children and families miserable for ever, it doesn’t end well obviously.
I found it very surprising that Ms Fulford had dealt with a Markel probate case but said (and the judge seemed to concur) that it wouldn't be a conflict of interest. I don't know if this case was pre- or post-mortem re: Dan, but it just seems like this COULD present a conflict that might arise mid-trial, and once again a trial will have to be abandoned. Isn't there anyone in Florida who didn't deal with Dan Markel at all? This just seems like a tenuous connection.
l bet her daughter’s never in court or talks to her on the phone to support the mother that arranged the murder of her husband for her. if l was donna l’d start talking about my daughter’s involvement in the murder, to either lighten my sentence or exonerate me altogether. besides, why should wendi get away with murder and donna not?!.
I drove by the prison today where Charlie is housed here in Sioux Falls, SD and I could smell the most disgusting stench coming from the Smithfield pork processing plant which is down yonder from the prison. Couldn't escape the stench!! It was so thick in the air. Made me wonder if Charlie could smell it too. Another thing to note is that It did reach below 0 temps this week.
Hello Carl and John, thank you for this analysis. It seems to me that Donna will have completely new story, different than Charlie, in which, they gonna say Donna had no idea what Charlie was onto and obviously he is convicted of it. I have a feeling her lawyers are preparing for that. Greetings form Croatia
The en camera may have been about Rashbaum’s possible role in coordinating flight (as in flee) plans, and possibly coordinating details of the preposterous tale. Such subject matter could destroy Rashbaum’s professional reputation. If he violated his ethical obligations - such a duty of candor to the court (saying he had a waiver from Charlie when he did not), he could be included as evidence implicated in consciousness of guilt. The court would not want to discuss this openly until the underlying facts are available. There may be a bar investigation happening now.
Thank you for this always thoughtful, informed commentary and analysis of these trials. I am also making a personal appeal to you: Please consider this kind of coverage of Luigi Mangione. I'll be upfront: I am appalled at the support he seems to be receiving for a cold blooded murder. (But maybe a lot of is trolling.) I have many questions. I know others do. Such as: Why only a 2nd degree murder charge? Thank you.
She definitely looked different physically. And I think her smug face was half of it was in the past. She’s not going anywhere. So there’s that. If she’s lucky she is found not guilty but she’s old so… if the state is smart they will delay the trial as much as they can
Well, if Donna dies in prison before going to trial, Wendi will walk. I'm sure there's behind the scenes frustration that Donna won't live long enough to stand trial. This delay from Rashbaum failure to get the written waiver from Charlie really set things back and of course prolonged justice for Dan Markel and his family. This all could've been avoided if Rashbaum followed procedure. I hate to say it, but the judge is at fault too. He didn't follow up during hearings about the waiver, for him to actually get it and see that it was signed.
She didn't look so defiant. Sometimes when people like that get quiet... That's when You know they are angry. I think that's what Carl might have picked up on.
????????In sleepy Tallahassee they will spent all of 25 to prosecute Donna and repair the prosecution of Charlie. Will we see Wendy and Harvey in court already in 26?????????????
I admire you greatly, mr. Carl Steinbeck, but i am disgusted with the legal system! This case is very tiring and should have been solved by now! This only makes the Markel family suffer on a continuous basis! What is Wendi doing all of this time? Living a somewhat normal life? Where is she and what do her grown children think of her and this case? If she has something to do with the murder and we think she did, why would the authorities take a chance with her own children, she might kill again directly or indirectly if she's evil enough! So far that has not happened, but it seems to me that the grandparents should have been awarded custody of the boys until this case has been solved! There needs to be some changes in the law! We at least would know the 2 boys would have remained safe in a loving environment!! Nobody talks about this!
It’s unbearable to watch how Wendi is still running free after taking part to murder of her kids father. This is not justice.
You make me laugh when talking about Charlie's crazy defense, Carl. I appreciate your dry wit!
Donna should not see the light of day! Thank you, Carl !
I love your confidence and your moral compass. God Bless you! 🙏
Congratulations on your marriage! Thank you so much for providing so much information.
Congrats on your marriage! Thanks for the updates and commentary on the Dan Markel case.

Thanks for taking the time to do this.....theres that smile😀🇬🇧 warm regards U.K.
Thanks Carl. These cases seem never ending… Shocking for the Markels.
Also the 🐈 in the background 😍😆
It’s time to arrest Wendi I am tired of the DA waiting for what
Hello Carl. I usually take a true crime break during the month of Dec however I broke it for this case lol. Thanks for your insight.
Carl! Can't wait for the trial...
Thank you Carl, appreciate all your knowledge on this case. 👏
Hi Carl just back from miami florida was on a cruise.
I couldn't help to think
About Donna adelson getting arrested in the same airport...it's such a big place...Justice for the Adelsons family all the way. .
Love your podcasts
Joan from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank carl ......you an your wife an john have a nice Christmas
Thank you, Carl. Appreciate your pov on this, and any other case you cover.
I always appreciate all your time you are able to give to us to go over this case! My heart still breaks for his sons! I pray those boys look up who their dad really was. Congratulations on your wedding!! Of course, Always best wishes! Hope your brother is doing well also.

I think you are excellent Carl ❤

I feel like Rashbaum is still involved behind the scenes helping the new attorneys. He was quite valuable to Donna.
They could lose their bar licence over that. Dont think they would take that risk. But you never know.
Thanks for the Adelson update Carl
Rewatch crew
Although I did watch the Live there is so much information that I also rewatch so I don’t miss anything. 😊
Thanks Carl!!!!!
Carl enjoy your insight into the Adelsons. Justice for Dan Markel 😢
TY Carl. Happy Holidays to you and family.
Thank you, Carl. 🙏
Thanks Carl. She seems very unwell. It’s tempting to feel compassion for her when you forget her past statements.
Hi Carl! Welcome back. And congrats!!🎉
I hope the prosecutor uses the phone call Donna had with Charlie's baby mama where she refers to Dan's boys as "my boys".

I dont think its sketchy. I believe the judge ordered this? No documents with Rashbaums notes on it etc.
@ yes. I stand corrected. Ty.
I’ve really lost faith in the process in this case. What is going on with the lax attitude in bringing MURDERERS TO JUSTICE??
One of the wildest parts of this whole thing is how long it's taken to charge and prosecute the adelsons. It was clearly a hit by hire, yet the state seemed to hesitate on charges despite all of the evidence proving their guilt!
The previous state atty said "not enough evidence to indicate Adelsons had involvement."
@Energymc2 yeah, i don't get that. I can see how they might not have enough on harvey and wendy, but there is so much evidence against donna and charlie. If they had enough to convict magbanue, they've always had enough to convict charlie and donna.
@@whatsyoursign3910not necessarily without Katie’s testimony.
@sba8710 they didn't need it imo. But my point is that she's the middleman...basically they had to prove both sides of that connection to convict her.
@@whatsyoursign3910 Ironic , since I believe Wendy is a big part of how they got caught.

Or, perhaps "Damned if you do, damned if you don't," would be a more apt way to put it.
Hi! Carl, was this live today for us to watch? Thx! As always, thank you for integrity & common sense! 👋🥰Happy Holidays!
Hi Carl looking forward to your commentary as Always ❤❤❤❤
My faith in the justice system in Florida is sadly lacking in their failure to arrest Wendi. It’s depressing to watch the rich slip in between the raindrops while the poor are likely to get unmotivated and overburdened public defenders. Sad.
Excellent information Carl!😎🌟👍

Mother in laws not minding their own business have been making the lives of their children and families miserable for ever, it doesn’t end well obviously.
Jailhouse recordings being admissible
Donna thought they were going out for lunch!
Carl actually smiled (sort of) several times...nice to see.

Charlie in his trial said he’s not guilty so there wasn’t a need to run to the airport….
😂
Love you, Carl
It's been 10 years already !?

I have a feeling her lawyers are preparing for that. Greetings form Croatia
Great live as usual! I can’t find ur recent TH-cam post with photo with Steve Cohen and Lesly…did STS matchmaker for John Steinbeck too?
I believe Donna is guilty but her lawyers now seem the most professional so far.
The en camera may have been about Rashbaum’s possible role in coordinating flight (as in flee) plans, and possibly coordinating details of the preposterous tale. Such subject matter could destroy Rashbaum’s professional reputation.

Oh I think we have heard that they're actually is. That's what they told Patty.
Sorry about the mis spelling meant Adelson family
Yeah, the whole family should be in prison because I’m pretty sure the father knew what was going on
Yes..captions on your channel wb great!
captions are turned on by the YT viewers
CC = Closed Caption. The "wheel" is for settings. Should find CC there.
Thank you for this always thoughtful, informed commentary and analysis of these trials. I am also making a personal appeal to you: Please consider this kind of coverage of Luigi Mangione.

shockingly, the law in new york requires special victim status (cops or officials) or killing during commission of a felony to elevate to murder 1
Hi Carl 👋 😊

❓❓Has Wendi or her sons been to visit Donna?
No..
I think Charlie planned this with the approval of his parents and of course Wendy albeit that they didn’t want to really know about his plan.
Rashy is too fidgety to sit in the gallery.
Wasn't he smelling his fingers or something like that during the trial? He would be very distracting...😅😅😅
Morning Carl 🇿🇦
Is there a conflict with Jackie Fulford?
no, but looks bad
????????In sleepy Tallahassee they will spent all of 25 to prosecute Donna and repair the prosecution of Charlie. Will we see Wendy and Harvey in court already in 26?????????????
I wonder if the "in camera" can be a plea agreement discussion?
❓❓❓❓ is it possible that we will see a trial by the summer?
Middle to end of June.
I don't think it's a lack of bandwidth. More will likely come out during Donna's trial that will be helpful in trying Wendy.
I admire you greatly, mr. Carl Steinbeck, but i am disgusted with the legal system! This case is very tiring and should have been solved by now!

Why don’t they try cases in the summer?
so folks can enjoy the summer breaks
