He truthest her . That money was to let him travel. Come on Katie is not Ms inocent she was still in a relationship with her boyfriend gang related never worked . That what they do . Get a job get paid and she worked it. Charlie is figuring out what happen
I know..and finally when they were arrested he could now tell his dad and Wendi what was going on..He was so much in fear for his family that he didn't warn them what could happen..
He probably does know how ridiculous it sounds, but it's all he has. He can't change the facts so trying to write a story that will sway at least one juror.
Jacksonripholmes... Sorry, I'm pretty sure the jury would disagree with you on that. Cappleman had the opportunity to back Charlie into a corner with two of the most obvious, bullet proof questions... 1) How does someone extort you for money if they have no dirt to hold over your head? What leverage do they have to insure you won't go straight to the police? And 2) Why would two Hispanic dudes from South Florida drive all the way to Tallahassee (twice) to murder some law professor they had no beef with, and never heard of, unless someone specifically hired them to do that? Those two questions should have put Charlie in checkmate, but Cappleman never used them to her advantage. Charlie still walked away with a boatload of reasonable doubt. I love Georgia, but she left far too many "gotcha" moments on the table in this case.
He said he was afraid he would be killed but even after the trigger men were sentenced to life in prison and he STILL didn’t go to the police and say he was extorted. He never said that until this trial started.
People in the comments expecting a Perry Mason moment, this isn't prime time television. The prosecutor is methodical, thorough and careful. There were no throwaway questions, everyone was meant to dismantle his credibility. She allowed him to make his own story sound absolutely incredulous. For example he went to the cops because a motorist almost hit his dog but didn't go to the cops when he was supposedly being extorted by a violent gang who threatened to kill his whole family. And at 5:51 when he said "if they got it from Katie they got ir from me." A Freudian slip no doubt.
I can’t believe there are people out there that believe him LMAO he was being extorted for what..? Your brother in law was murdered by your girlfriends kids father and it’s a coincidence?? Oh please
I know, right? Lets hope the jury arnt as nieve and thick as those comments All his sniggering smiling smirking hes evil. I feel for Dans mother having watch this monster
Larry act dump and silly but they always wiggle their way out.. he looks like Larry maybe mo need to give him Charlie a double slap to bring him to reality
The fact this man never went to police once is incredible. The fact he never followed up that she was even talking to this guy after 138 k. Then the fact he went on a hit man payment plan after. 😂😂😂 enjoy jail
Exactly. A few sofa ninjas feel otherwise, but fail to recall the fact that she secured convictions against those who committed the actual murder of Dan Markel. I think the jury will easily see through Charlie's crazy tale.
It’s a bit odd that they would kill someone that the aldesons were having an issue with. And if he didn’t know about the murder why wouldn’t he go straight to the police? Ms Georgia needs to turn up the heat.
I think the prosecutor had some good moments (withholding evidence while Katie was in jail; the fact that no Latin King ever contacted him; the contradiction about his mother's worrying; speculating about whether there was evidence against Katie) but she also gave him many opportunities to proclaim his innocence and to repeat his interpretation of events. Charlie concocted an elaborate version of events, and it is a mistake to get into the weeds with him ("first extortion," "second extortion"). THERE WAS NO EXTORTION. He paid for a a murder. All of his rationalizations and evasions can't hide the big, absurd inconsistency: why would someone kill his ex brother-in-law to extort him? They could have simply extorted him, or gone to his house and made him open his safe. What does Dan Markel have to do with any of this? Maybe they shouldn't have bothered to question Charlie at all, and simply told the jury that his testimony to is lawyer wasn't believable.
She let him talk so much. He went on to give explanations that were outside the question being asked. She did very few Yes/No questions and let him explain himself. I'm still sure he's guilty, but maybe it swayed some jury members. 🤔
I think the prosecutor failed miserably repeatedly- there’s no way he’s going to be convicted. Prosecutor was weak with both Charlie & sister. The whole family’s gonna walk and it’s infuriating.
It’s because Katherine overheard that the family was willing to pay 1 million to make the Markel problem go away, so the killers tried to solve the problem and make a play for some of the money
Basically his entire testimony consisted of him being a lying creep. His direct exam even started out with the fact that he likes to get paid in cash. Then on and on about putting his girlfriend who didn't work for him on the payroll, saying he could write a letter saying she worked there so she could get insurance, etc. How is anyone supposed to believe a word he says, when he talks about committing fraud so cavalierly?
I think it was a steady chiseling away of his armor….revealing the complicit arrogance of so many of this kind. She was methodical. He’s a tennis player who likes sneaky plays at the net and loses to skilled baseliners with precise ace’s.
Completely agree, no question was a throwaway but a careful and methodical dismantling of his credibility. She made his story look absolutely ridiculous.
“There’s no explanation. I just explained what happened.” - Charlie from the Department of Redundancy Department (Head of the highly specialized: Illogical Statements Committee) 🤔 0:40
And he essentially but almost accidentally admits to telling Katie he would pay to have Dan killed and now he’s all surprised when she takes him up in it.
Hmmmm... if it were MY son on the witness stand, and the story WERE TRUE, I'd be demanding the defense put me on the stand to corroborate what he was saying..... but I don't think Mom and Dad are even AT the trial, are they?
I don’t understand why he feared for his life if he went to the police but he was telling his mom to go the police. Wouldn’t her or possibly both their lives be in danger ?
That makes no sense that she would stay the night ! I feel really bad for Dan Markel , he married a women whom could not deal with life without her Mother and Brother. But how sad is it that now throughout everything we now know, and obviously Charlie his Mother,set this up, and most likely Wendi had an idea of this as well! Now there is two boys, who have had their father murdered , their last name wiped from them, no contact with their fathers parents, and now most likely their Uncle Mother and Grandmother are probably going to Jail!! SAD!
Katie stayed the night in order to try & keep her relationship with Charlie ongoing. She had to know that he wasn’t going to marry her, because he didn’t want a premade family of two children. Unfortunately Katie didn’t take the offer to flip on Charlie to keep herself out of jail.
As I heard on STS, the other three folks @couldn’t conspire to go out to lunch.” 🤣 Luis Rivera literally learned to read in prison. He didn’t know what a blog was and thought the prosecutor said “a blonde”. 😆 Charlie, it was a good run, honey, but ya luck done run out.
Overall, the prosecutor is doing a good job letting Charlie show the sheer implausibility of his claim to have been extorted after the fact. She has brought out that he was not under physical duress at the time of the beginning of the "extortion." His girlfriend, threatening extortion, then spends the night with him. Further, he reveals he had the only firearm between them, in his safe; she was unarmed. He said he agreed to pay. Yet, a followup, hammer-the-point question the prosecutor is "What did they (the "extortioners") have on you that you would be so ready to cough up $138,000 and then $3,000 a month until $333,333 was reached?" I can't imagine it. My sister's ex-husband has just been murdered. My girlfriend, who doesn't even know my ex-brother-in-law, suddenly claims HER ex-husband and an accomplice, neither of whom knew my ex-brother-in-law either, did the killing. Remember, supposedly, I've just learned about the murder the same day. Now my girlfriend claims her ex and his "people" have enough to blackmail me or they will attempt to frame me for involvement in my ex-brother-in-law's murder or kill me if I don't pay? Hogwash! Charlie masterminded the assassination of Dan and used Katie as a buffer between the Adelsons and those who actually did the killing. If anything, Charlie's testimony reveals that perhaps there was a moment in which Katie came to him and said on behalf of the killers, "OK, the deed is done, time to pay up or you'll wind up like Dan." And Charlie is attempting to twist that exchange into one of extortion. There was no extortion. Charlie and his mother schemed up this murder, including outsourcing the "mechanics" and had their budget for the "project" already worked out.
Charlie had a lot of time to remember all his lies and remember his stories. Im going to be surprised if jury doesn't find him guilty. I hope jury will connect the dots because those killers would never know about Dans existence if they were not told who to kill! Its obvious. And Adelson family were the only one who would benefit from his death. Charlie, Wendi and their mother should be behind the bars for the rset of their lives. Dan, his boys and parents deserves justice. RIP 🙏
The prosecution did good, IMO it would have been better if they emphasized Dan by his name, as his nephews father, as a good person instead of Professor. Guilty, on to the next one Wendi or Donna.
Prosecutor did not grill Charlie. Weak Cross. Charlie is a very difficult witness who was able to tell his fairy tale for the jury to hear. She asked too many open ended questions. Charlie never gave up control on his cross.
The prosecutor isn't flash or shouty, which is good, but she doesn't seem to be quick on her feet. There are obvious moments where she could ridicule his testimony but misses, as though she can't deviate from the script.
I’m not sure she needs to do that. These jurors just have to hear his crazy story. This isn’t the time to comment on it. Monday (if they have closing arguments ) will be the time to comment on it.
@@josimpson7999 oh sorry, I meant Georgia didn’t need to comment on Charlie’s ridiculousness during cross, but she’ll very likely do it during closing arguments. I just wasn’t communicating very well. 🤦🏼♀️
Trip him up are u serious She made him lie and lie and lie It was verbal diahrea But thats cos hes a narcissist Loves the sound of his own voice. Thats what a liar does Dribble 💩
She picked him apart, no there was no knockout punch, this was a methodical Muhammad Ali 15 rounds work the body and jab and move, not Mike Tyson like we want to see, but this was very telling.
Totally concur! I think she started off softly softly and I expected her to build up the tempo - but it stayed exactly the same. At the end I was very worried, I think she dropped the ball and will need to make up for it in Closing Argument IMO.
I thought she crushed it. I could not believe how hard he was trying to convince the jury that he couldn’t just not giggle when the word “fker” is said in court. 4 times?!?! What are you a toddler? So cringe.. so visibly a show.
Waiting with bated breath here in Australia and this is such a fascinating and tragic trial.. Cameras are not allowed in courtrooms here; same in the UK. I was happy to catch up with some sleep over the weekend as 9am in Florida is 11pm here. For those complaining about the prosecutor I really dont agree. Georgia has lived and breathed this case for years. Actually I like her style, she sounds somewhat laidback and that confuses people who think a prosecutor should shout and put on a show. Unless there is a weird juror I dont see any of them swallowing Charlie's crazy lies. At least Luis Rivera attested to his part.
Josecortez... I have to agree! I was expecting Georgia to sink him with questions he couldn't talk his way out of, but she didn't do that. I also feel like she could have hammered home the obvious point that if they didn't have any dirt on Charlie, how were they extorting him in the first place? What was their leverage? She should have also repeatedly asked him why in the world Garcia and Rivera would go to Tallahassee and murder someone of their own accord, whom they didn't know at all and had never met? These two questions alone would have stunned Charlie into having to create an answer that didn't exist. Why in the world did she not take advantage of those two questions? She made little gains here and there, but I don't believe she got rid of the reasonable doubt at all. I love Georgia, but this cross was very disappointing!
He is speaking so matter of fact like his sister Wendi. He sounds like Katie in 2016 and Wendi in 2023, so assured they’ve gotten away with it. The lies on the stand will catch up to him
It's uncomfortable hearing him sit there and lie. He concocted this ridiculous story, which he thinks is working, but it sucks as a soap opera plot let alone anything that resembles truth.
Most viewers of this trial thought the prosecutor, Georgia, was going to rip him to shreds. That did not happen. To me, her cross was disappointing. Johnny Depp's attorney, Camille, would have nailed him & put him in his place. Georgia really displayed her frustration with him, which should never be shown by a prosecutor. Hopefully, her cross didn't leave any doubt on the jury.
Every time someone is extorting me, I let them stay overnight and don't call the cops. I just don't get what he did wrong here‼️
Yes me too! No way would I throw them out 🤦♀️
He truthest her . That money was to let him travel. Come on Katie is not Ms inocent she was still in a relationship with her boyfriend gang related never worked . That what they do . Get a job get paid and she worked it. Charlie is figuring out what happen
That’s too funny
Lmfao me too😂😂😂😂😂
I know..and finally when they were arrested he could now tell his dad and Wendi what was going on..He was so much in fear for his family that he didn't warn them what could happen..
It's mindblowing that he doesn't realize how ridiculous this sounds
He probably does know how ridiculous it sounds, but it's all he has. He can't change the facts so trying to write a story that will sway at least one juror.
It’s because he’s an arrogant narcissist, and falsely thinks he’s the smartest person in the courtroom.
She extorts him for 138K and then spends the night. I can't watch anymore.
Georgia Cappleman is making Adelson into A LAUGHING STOCK !
A WORK OF ART cross examination.

Think he’s talking too much exactly like he said he did yesterday!
Yeah all those damned Latin kings are locked up 😂he’s safe now !!
not a good idea to keep namedropping them since they'll likely be his neighbors in prison @@HungryGhost999
Yet he was telling his mother to go the police . He wasn’t afraid for either of their lives during the second “extortion” .
Yes, that is an excellent point.
Guilty as sin!
Charlie is insufferable! He has an answer for EVERYTHING!! Put him away in prison!!!
Agree.
How convenient that the extortion amount was exactly how much money Charlie had.
“That’s the only time I’ve been extorted LIKE THAT.” D@mn, how many times have you been extorted? 😬
I feel bad for the Markel’s. Such BS going on.
I like how he splits hairs between extortion and blackmail as if blackmail isnt a form of extortion.
Oh my God DUDE JUST GIVE IT UP! So painful to sit through this.
I hope the Jury sees through this arrogant Criminal, Charles Adelson and Convicts him!
Charlie looks like me in the morning, but I'm 64 and chronically ill. 😂

Not confrontational enough. Charlie never lost his composure.
Jcash3535 exactly! He seems innocent when being questioned by her. Shes awful
if he gets off, it's not because he's innocent but because the jury got tired of the prosecutor's condescending tone. @@jcash3535
She's probably the weakest prosecutor I've ever seen. He was controlling her, and her questioning had no real bite to them.
There no way a jury will believe this story 😂 the quilt and lying is aging Charlie.
🤣🤣🤣 i could watch this a hundred times, the best bedtime story ever.
If the jury buys this nonsense then we abolish the jury system and switch to bench trials.
Why cant you parents defend you at court Charlie ? 0 people spoke to defend you?
It’s a bit odd that they would kill someone that the aldesons were having an issue with. And if he didn’t know about the murder why wouldn’t he go straight to the police? Ms Georgia needs to turn up the heat.
Bit odd they knew he had this cash and didn’t just rob him. They set up this whole convoluted extortion murder plot 🙄 😂

I also feel like she could have hammered home the obvious point that if they didn't have any dirt on Charlie, how were they extorting him in the first place? What was their leverage? She should have also repeatedly asked him why in the world Garcia and Rivera would go to Tallahassee and murder someone of their own accord, whom they didn't know at all and had never met? These two questions alone would have stunned Charlie into having to create an answer that didn't exist. Why in the world did she not take advantage of those two questions? She made little gains here and there, but I don't believe she got rid of the reasonable doubt at all. I love Georgia, but this cross was very disappointing!
This right here..... was Charlie's undoing. Nobody has their extortionists stay the night...
He is speaking so matter of fact like his sister Wendi. He sounds like Katie in 2016 and Wendi in 2023, so assured they’ve gotten away with it. The lies on the stand will catch up to him
What a clown show!
😂 this Charlie is something else 😂
This attorney is so bad@ss!
It's uncomfortable hearing him sit there and lie. He concocted this ridiculous story, which he thinks is working, but it sucks as a soap opera plot let alone anything that resembles truth.
Hes Not Guilty In My Thoughts
Watch how charlie dig his grave
The Adelson family is guilty. I hope they all get hard prison sentences
Is the jury deliberating yet?
What's up with Charlie and the headphones. I thought this trial was in Florida, not Nuremberg.
Why so defensive and rude Charlie ?
You ain't all that. Believe me.
NOBODY wants to snatch you.
Not even for free.
Charlie just played and batted this lady around - like a Tiger playing with a mouse 🐁
What a laughable defense.
Both he and his sister have a weird affect about them. Creepy to watch. Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
This cross by Georgia is like wine 🍷
Haha he says 'there were no explanations, I i just explained what happened’... Say wut?
Most viewers of this trial thought the prosecutor, Georgia, was going to rip him to shreds. That did not happen. To me, her cross was disappointing. Johnny Depp's attorney, Camille, would have nailed him & put him in his place. Georgia really displayed her frustration with him, which should never be shown by a prosecutor. Hopefully, her cross didn't leave any doubt on the jury.
His defense is not believable lol she didn’t need to “tear” him to pieces
@@averyshenandoah1637 - Totally disagree with you!
@@averyshenandoah1637exactly!!
I agree
@@averyshenandoah1637I agree with you and honestly the facts/evidence speaks for itself!!! He is guilty along with Donna and Wendi!
How come Mommy Adelson, Daddy Adelson and little baby Adelson aren’t testifying about the “extortion.”
He’s fears of being murdered but keeps the hit man’s ex as his girlfriend. Que that meme…. “what?”
