it's not the end, Donna and Wendi need to be behind bars too, but most importantly, the boys need to be with kind people who care: with their father's family
The sad thing is: I’ve heard they’ve been brainwashed by the Adelsons and don’t want anything to do with the Markels. They probably have been made to believe that the Adelsons had nothing to do with the murder and are being framed by the Markels. One of the boys has had regular phone calls with CA in jail. I really hope the conviction puts some doubt in their minds but it honestly might not…
I followed this case since Dan was killed. When I saw Charlie was arrested, I cried, and I cried again when a jury found him guilty. Thank you so much to Georgia Cappleman, Sarah Dugan, the jury and everyone else who made this happen. This is not over.
@@alexisr5199No. We are not.

Bingo!!! Wendi sold her brother and Mom out within minutes of reaching the precinct for interrogation 😂 and not only that, Wendi has managed to stay away from those pesky wiretaps as well.

Charlie’s ridiculous defense didn’t make sense one bit. I get he had to make up something but his fairytale was a stretch. Charlie’s entire family need to be charged as well. Their elite entitlement made them believe they were untouchable. Adelsons are evil people.

Much better chance with Donna unless there’s secret evidence for Wendi.
So a career criminal hears that this rich dentist wants someone killed and has a million dollars to offer, and instead of making contact with him and setting up the hit, the criminal just goes out on his own and kills the target and then tries to collect the money? And if he doesn't get the money within 48 hours, his plan is to kill the dentist? So he will have committed two murders and received nothing for it? Yeah...That's one of the dumbest defenses I've heard in a long time.
I can't stand how Wendi responds to every question like she's the smartest person in the room and the way she sits there all smug and giggly is infuriating. She really thinks she's untouchable!
The fact the jury took only a bit over 3 hours to decide on a verdict despite the vast amount of evidence in the trial tells you how absolutely absurd and ridiculous that defense was. Thank you Charlie for making the jury's job super easy. RIP Dan Markel.
The Jury must go over every single article of evidence and each give their take on each criminal charge alleged. Hopefully you never serve on jury duty.
If I've seen one pair of ragtag hitmen to mistakenly post geolocated pics to Instagram on the way to the hit before remembering they're not on the way to commit a felony and not on vacation right before accidentally shooting the floor of their rented Prius w the murder weapon, I've seen them all.
When your brother ‘jokes’ about hiring a hitman, an innocent sister would tell him not to talk like that. She also changed the children’s surname. Wendi is so guilty.
And she threw her brother and parents under the bus when they questioned her shortly after her ex husband was murdered...by telling law enforcement that he joked about hiring a hit man but cheaper to get a new TV..and she calls her parents in front of the detectives and ask them..u wldnt happen to be in this area today...the day her ex was murdered...she is just as evil as her family 😢🤦🏻♀️
@@ArmandoPonte-gk7lh protection or exemption from any penalty. She was offered to be set free from prison completely if she told the truth, but instead she said NO. Now her penalty is life In prison
I believed from the last two trials Charlie, Donna, and Wendi were involved. But it was solidified when Luis took the stand. As crazy as it sounds I fully believe everything he said. I cannot wait until Donna and Wendi are arrested and those poor, innocent boys find out just how evil their mom, grandma, and uncle truly are.
Magbanua finds out about the million dollar offer. Sees an opportunity to extort Adelsons. Contacts her two baby daddy gangster who the kills Merkel as a threat to Adelsons to pay. Logical scapegoat is Charlie based on Wendys marital issues re. child custody. This is logical. Mafia have been threatening, maiming and murdering for years as threats to extort, or insure silence.
The Adelson’s are diabolical. They were all involved in the murder of Dan. Dan was a wonderful man, father and professor. They all deserve to be in prison. Sickening.
Agree. Who jokes about hiring a hit man? And not just once, but over and over and over again. And not one of the said “hey that’s not funny. This will be decided in court”! Instead that family thought, it was a good idea. Yuck!

So weird to see someone lie so casually about something so terrible. It almost feels like a movie rather than reality because it’s just so out of this world. What a truly troubled family.
What did Charlie even get out of Dan's murder? It really looks as though he got nothing. He handed over his money to Katherine and now he's going to prison. This was all about appeasing his mom and seeing more of a sister that he barely had time to see as it was?

Lincoln to Wendi: “ Mummy, did Uncle Charlie really killed Daddy? The kids at school are saying that you, Grandma and Grandad planned it with him and the police are coming to arrest you all.”
What a heart breaking story. His children will never grow up to know their father because their mother wanted her way or else. She undoubtedly knew because the killers knew exactly where he was and that he would be leaving town the next day. Who else would know this but his ex wife.
I believe Wendi would tell Donna EVERYTHING when Dan has kids when Dan was leaving town… then Donna tells Charlie,Charlie tells Katie, Katie tells Garcia…. So maybe Wendi was just whining to Donna and Donna went to Charlie .. Donna was placing the seed she’s the reason this happened to Dan!!!
31:17 it's like jodi arias intruder story - she told the cop an intruder killed travis and let her go but told her: "if you talk we kill you and your family"
23:08 When Georgia suggested that Harvey’s birthday present was the killing of Dan, Wendi snickered as she replied. There’s something very wrong and unnerving about that
She stuttered as well…with feigned anger. I didn’t believe her for a second. She was mostly composed…but in a bizarre almost robotic way. I hope she’s charged first for her obvious perjury…after which her immunity is null and void…and then gets charged for conspiracy to commit the murder of the father of her children. Evil evil evil. That family is pure evil.
@@Seeker0fTruth I hope wendi spends every waking moment, looking over her shoulder wondering if & when she's next on the chopping block. Her ex Jeff who testified against her is also a complete loser who exposed himself as a heartless human being who didn't even have the humanity to give Dan a heads up that his ex wife wanted to bump him off and (in his own words) it was "NOT A JOKE." Way to go, loser!
In this thumbnail, Dan and Wendi look adorable together. So sad she was a monster. He seemed like a wonderful guy all around. My heart goes out to the Markels and his boys❤
If Charlie and Donna were innocent, they would have gone to the police as soon as Donna received that envelope. Charlie’s defense is laughable. But for the fact that Dan Markel was murdered. I hope the state goes after the rest of the Adelson family.
Wow ! Thank you Jesse, as always taking us through these cases that makes me feel I totally understand the law, as a layman I appreciate you! I’ll never forget this case as I’m sure many others won’t either, since I first heard of Mr Markel’s murder 🙏🏼 I hope there’s no mistrial due to the jury’s “group chat” before they deliberated 🤦🏼♀️ But I believe they got the verdict right!
This trial was fascinating I've watched the trial videos a number of times and the testimony was riveting and like watching a train wreck when charlie and wendi were trying so hard to be convincing.
I find it very hard to swallow that Wendi was not involved. After hearing her police interview, it was pretty pathetic. No one who’s been treated as badly by her ex as she says she was, so much so that she left him while he was out of town taking all their possessions with her, would immediately sob uncontrollably at hearing he’s dead. And continue to sob through the whole interview, except when talking to the police about how badly he treated her. I’ve heard enough of these interviews to spot fake grief when I hear it. She stood to greatly benefit from his death.
I don’t think he was so mad. He was doing it for his sister, and even more, for his mom, who was obsessed with defeating Dan and now he’d even filed a motion to prevent her having unsupervised visitation with her grandchildren. Charlie was the family “fixer” and he was wealthy and entitled and enjoyed staying connected to people “from the other side of the tracks.” I don’t get the sense Charlie was particularly passionate.
I think one of the biggest circumstancial proof of guilt against Charlie is he was telling his mom on the wiretap "if your being threatened, go to the police". He said that several times. Well, wasn't Charlie's story is he was being threatened? He would've gone immediately to the police if his story was true.
@@user-wl9ue2gd1r I dont remember the defense or Charlie ever mentioning that the killers were going to claim he hired them for the murder. Charlie just said his life was in danger, but maybe i missed that part.
31:05 this is literally the worst defence I’ve ever heard, I mean with all the money they have they could afford any lawyer, and this is the defence they come up with. It’s actually laughable.
Lets he honest here. This is chapter 4. The 1st 3 chapters are in jail now. The FULL story will be when Donna (ch5) and WENDI (ch6) gets their cummupence!

That Kathie girl hit the wall very hard.
31:17 it's like jodi arias intruder story - she told the cop an intruder killed travis and let her go but told her: "if you talk we kill you and your family"
The first attorney you showed was not Cappellan, it was Sarah Dugan. She did the opening statement.
That family's poisonous
She got offered immunity,had a mistrial and STILL got life 🤷🏿♂️ karma is a MF 😂
23:08 When Georgia suggested that Harvey’s birthday present was the killing of Dan, Wendi snickered as she replied. There’s something very wrong and unnerving about that
She stuttered as well…with feigned anger. I didn’t believe her for a second. She was mostly composed…but in a bizarre almost robotic way. I hope she’s charged first for her obvious perjury…after which her immunity is null and void…and then gets charged for conspiracy to commit the murder of the father of her children. Evil evil evil. That family is pure evil.
@@Seeker0fTruth I hope wendi spends every waking moment, looking over her shoulder wondering if & when she's next on the chopping block. Her ex Jeff who testified against her is also a complete loser who exposed himself as a heartless human being who didn't even have the humanity to give Dan a heads up that his ex wife wanted to bump him off and (in his own words) it was "NOT A JOKE." Way to go, loser!
There's A LOT that's unnerving about her testimonies and her behaviour in general.
The defense theory is so stoopid I don’t even understand it
This Adelson family is really mental ill. To conspire to kill someone and have the nerve to this you’ll get away with it is absurd.
Time to arrest the last 3 Adelson’s already!
In this thumbnail, Dan and Wendi look adorable together. So sad she was a monster. He seemed like a wonderful guy all around. My heart goes out to the Markels and his boys❤
Wingit- yes, the trial had all the evidence. Apparently you didn't watch it
Dude. The prosecutor in green is NOT Georgia Kappleman.
Thanks for this Update ! 😎
How long will it take for Donna to be arrested ? She should be next, and I don’t think Wendi is innocent either. What an evil family. RIP Dan.
1 week
@@timnorris6287 Much quicker than I expected, but a happy day.
Oops, Jesse...first up, Prosecutor Sarah Dugan...not Georgia Cappleman.
I was just about to say the same.
he is in love with Georgia
If Charlie and Donna were innocent, they would have gone to the police as soon as Donna received that envelope. Charlie’s defense is laughable. But for the fact that Dan Markel was murdered. I hope the state goes after the rest of the Adelson family.
Wow ! Thank you Jesse, as always taking us through these cases that makes me feel I totally understand the law, as a layman I appreciate you! I’ll never forget this case as I’m sure many others won’t either, since I first heard of Mr Markel’s murder 🙏🏼 I hope there’s no mistrial due to the jury’s “group chat” before they deliberated 🤦🏼♀️ But I believe they got the verdict right!
It's sound and fury signifying nothing, as the Bard called it.
What a ridiculous defence - the extortionists kill the person you hate then ask for money??! That’s called ‘a paid hit.’
Charlie’s defense is: I was surprisingly extorted…on a payment plan and kept it a secret. Uh-huh
30:10 Charlie telling the story and continues to look down like he is reading a script. He memorized this "story" while in jail for a year and a half.
I thought it was Matthew Perry mixed with a low rent Sam bankman-fried
@@kevinmc4500omg spot on! 🤣
I grew up with tuto and tato in Miami beach ! Unbelievable
EXCELLENT breakdown of this case!🙌🏽
Donna was hip to the game they were running. She knew that guy was an agent, and was very likely being recorded. She finessed that VERY well.
Yup.
This trial was fascinating I've watched the trial videos a number of times and the testimony was riveting and like watching a train wreck when charlie and wendi were trying so hard to be convincing.
I find it very hard to swallow that Wendi was not involved. After hearing her police interview, it was pretty pathetic. No one who’s been treated as badly by her ex as she says she was, so much so that she left him while he was out of town taking all their possessions with her, would immediately sob uncontrollably at hearing he’s dead. And continue to sob through the whole interview, except when talking to the police about how badly he treated her. I’ve heard enough of these interviews to spot fake grief when I hear it. She stood to greatly benefit from his death.
Never understood why the brother was so mad at the sisters ex husband.
“You mess with my family, you messing wit me”…that’s why lol
I don’t think he was so mad. He was doing it for his sister, and even more, for his mom, who was obsessed with defeating Dan and now he’d even filed a motion to prevent her having unsupervised visitation with her grandchildren. Charlie was the family “fixer” and he was wealthy and entitled and enjoyed staying connected to people “from the other side of the tracks.” I don’t get the sense Charlie was particularly passionate.
Narcissists try to please their moms
@@crede9427 I thought those are called mama boys
Don't think he ever was, it was the mother imo, that set all this in motion. Now her son is sitting behind bars for life. It's absolutely Disgusting.
I think one of the biggest circumstancial proof of guilt against Charlie is he was telling his mom on the wiretap "if your being threatened, go to the police". He said that several times. Well, wasn't Charlie's story is he was being threatened? He would've gone immediately to the police if his story was true.
@@user-wl9ue2gd1r I don't remember the defense every saying that Charlie was threatened that they'd blame it on him.
@@user-wl9ue2gd1r I dont remember the defense or Charlie ever mentioning that the killers were going to claim he hired them for the murder. Charlie just said his life was in danger, but maybe i missed that part.
@@user-wl9ue2gd1r Hmm, i tried to reply, it didn't work.
Why do my responses get deleted?
31:05 this is literally the worst defence I’ve ever heard, I mean with all the money they have they could afford any lawyer, and this is the defence they come up with. It’s actually laughable.
Wendi and Donna are screeeewed. 😂
Lost me at the Morgan and Morgan ad.
Lets he honest here. This is chapter 4. The 1st 3 chapters are in jail now. The FULL story will be when Donna (ch5) and WENDI (ch6) gets their cummupence!
So ridiculous! Charlie has had 10 years to think this up!
Slam Dunk conspiracy case against Donna!
And Wendi! Her trying to frame her ex for that id very telling
Whoa @JW incredible job in slicing this nightmare in this piece...spot on
Thank you for your brilliant coverage. 😺
It’s a pretty weak defense really, like these guys just decided to kill someone and hope that they’d get paid, ridiculous story
That’s not Georgia, it’s Sarah who did the opening
