What an amazing attorney! She sounds unshakable. I love her facial expressions nearly as much as her calculated responses. By the end she won the exchange and made unforgettable points.
Only on Katie's part. Katie was the ONLY one that could pull all this off. She used Charlie for the money and Sigfredo for the cold hearted violence she knew he was capable of. She used Sigfredo's hot temper too. Why can't anyone see that the master manipulator was KATIE? Go back and watch the cross between Katie and Rauschbaum.
I believe if Charlie's family thought for a second he was innocent they would all be in the courtroom supporting him, the fact that Wendi ran as soon as her testimony was over and his parents didn't even make an appearance to support him speaks volumes.
it doesn’t speak volumes they’re terrified of being charged also and maybe charles himself asked them not to be there because he’d be too distracted with them there.
That Ms. Cappleman is a terrific prosecutor. I think she's on the Adelsons' trail and she will complete the job before she's done with them. It's really incredible the whole family would get themselves involved in a murder with a lot of other people. These multi-millionaires have sunk their own ship.Donna and Wendi are next.
His arrogance was palpable and clearly he didn't impress the jury.... I guarantee you donna won't be as nice about wendi , especially after being in jail.
I know this is what makes me so curious why they aren't besides they don't want the children having any involvement with the Markel family. I think Wendi really orchestrated this. I think she knew exactly what her family would say and do so she knew she could get them to do this all and she was smart to not respond to those texts or emails that could possibly look incriminating. She knew during her interrogation that only way to really not be considered a suspect was to throw her family under the bus. I think she knew her family wouldn't give her up so that the kids were her pawn. So yeah I don't think Wendi will ever be convicted she really is untouchable. But it bewilders me that the family doesn't see thus and if they do see how played they got by her, that they have so much hatred for the Markel family. I just hope someday those kids will see how evil Wendi is and that they will at 18 establish a relationship with the Markel.
If you were driving near your ex husbands home and it was blocked off with a police presence wouldn't you ask what's going on?? Would you drive by after getting the liquor which Wendi says its easier to go that way and seeing the police still there with yellow tape?? Wouldn't you call your ex to see what was going on..
@user-ue3xb8tz1uI’m with you but I do know she new her kids were in daycare. But I don’t think she knew where they were at the time of the yellow tape drive by
Charlie's Mom has left him to hold the bag. Wendy has also. A shame that the mother didn't allow them to have lives of their own. Donna has created a pit for her son and daughter and two grandsons to live in. Shame on her as a supposedly Mother. Children grow up and have lives of their own. Mothers no longer dictate to them. Sad so sad her children and two grandsons have to suffer because she the narcissistic had to control them. Now they all have to suffer because of Donna.Charlie is so guilty!!
Charlie keeps saying you gotta ask Wendi, you gotta ask her, except when Georgia asks why Wendi went to the crime scene and then he has all the knowledge of why she didn’t, like were you there Charlie?
Why would the killers drive for hours and do the ultimate crime when they could have just stayed in town and robbed Charlie? I still don’t know the reason for the 1st and 2nd extortion. It doesn’t make sense.
Yes! This is it!!!! He named his family int he indictment with him. Not the actual three conspirators named on the documents; Katie, Sigfrado and Luis. I believe that’s why he hung is head so low when he sat back at the defense table.
I just can’t comport $1M to pay a father to “go away” or let the family move. What kind of a family offers money to the father of his children to limit custody? There is no amount of money that could keep me from my children. Absurd. Like the kids have a “market value”. This is the critical connection between how these people view human life. It’s $$. Not love.
No reputable lawyer would suggest either that a client propose it, or that a client agree to it. Such an agreement is unenforceable, because in custody issues the best interests of the children are what is considered. The fact that Dan Markel was a good father shows you the arrogance of floating such an idea.
The fact that Wendi pointed to her parents and brother (who live 400 miles away) is astonishing in itself. What kind of people are in this family? The kind that a member of the family would suggest to police that her mom, dad or brother might have murdered the father of her children? It says a lot about the moral filth of the Adelson Crime Family.
how is it odd if it’s true? it’s more odd if a family member knew other family members might be been involved in a murder of their children’s father but doesn’t say so
@@evernit I agree with you completely. I think Wendi is the most dangerous kind of human. Dan had served his purpose, so Wendi began a 1 1/2 year smear campaign in order to rile up her parents and brother. And as she orchestrated how the crime would happen, Wendi made sure that only others got their fingerprints (so to speak) on this crime. Dan was shot on a Friday. In just over 48 hours she had an attorney in place to wall herself off from police. People like her don't operate the way most of us do; without real capacity for compassion and empathy us humans become little more than extremely clever and dangerous animals.
Dateline had a segment on the case which showed alot of info Id say even tho its older would be helpful to learn alot. Id assume there are other shows about the case but the Dateline 1 I def still recall many details.
I know someone who is very much like Wendi. During the time I was around her I was always amazed at her immaturity but I also knew that she never had to clean up her mess because her mom and dad were always there to do whatever she needed, it didn’t matter if she was in her 20’s, 30’s, 40’s….Her parents thought they were helping her but in reality they stunted her development.
I think what Georgia should have asked him regarding the celebratory. Dinner is comma so you say wendi doesn't drink? But yet she had two drinks that night? Sounds like a celebratory dinner to me!
The prosecutor does an excellent job of drawing out intentional misrepresentations by Charlie Adelson. He is a skilled deceiver, as he was trained his whole life by his mother. But several times in this direct examination, the truth shone through.
Take out all of Wendi´s mistakes and the Adelson´s get away with this. There would be some evidence but think about what would be gone. Wendi telling the police that Charlie considered hiring a hitman, her telling Lacase Charlie is considering hiring a hitman, her driving to the crime scene, her buying Bullet Bourbon, her writing all that stuff in her book, her loitering around Dan´s house when Sigfredo and Luis were staking it out, and finally her ridiculous interrogation right after the murder.
Georgia C. thinks so as well, that’s why she was needling Charlie to give her something on Wendi. He didn’t because he thought he’d beat the charges. I wonder if he is feeling mad now?
Wendy got to move to Miami like she wanted. But in exchange, her ex-husband had to die and her brother and mother are going to spend the rest of their lives in prison!
What a fibber! Jeffrey Lacasse said that he believes that Wendi (windbag) Adelson drinks her dinner most of the time, meaning she’s a boozer, and Charlie claims she doesn’t drink alcohol😂
Rambling, lethargic cross. His ship was sinking after yesterday. She's giving him too many opportunities to plug the holes and he's taking advantage of them. But I think he'll still be found guilty because his story makes little sense. Why would someone kill someone FOR you and then extort you?
I kinda think Wendi (upon Dan not wanting to move) went crying to her mother and said "Do something Mom". Mom then went to her son Charlie and talked it over with him and Charlie said he would take care of it and he had an idea. Mom may or may not have known about his plan for the murder plot. Not sure dad did. I think Charlie told his sister about it because she had to manage her behavior appropriately and she had to know what to tell the police. There was no getting around that. I think the sister was accepting but nervous about the plan. Charlie came up with the idea of murder and planned the whole thing.
Donna (Mom) absolutelyyyyyy knew!! She HATED Dan & she wanted Wendi back home more than anyone! Wendi wanted to be back there too, but not *that* much. Wendi had a great job in Tallahassee, she had friends, AND she had her sons. Been following the case for years. Donna is the most toxic train wreck of all the narcissistic Adelsons!
I think so too. I'm just saying that Charlie came up with the idea, sold it to his mom and mom and Wendi went along with it and let him do it. I think Wendi was a bit nervous about the whole idea but didn't regret it or feel bad about it at all or she would have gone to the police to prevent it. She was scared and that's why she went to look at the crime scene. Immediately told the police about the joke (the TV vs hiring a hit man) so the police would look at Charlie instead of her. Wendi and mom are just as guilty as Charlie.@@margaretchabaud9700
she is doing a great job. you cannot put pressure on a patjological liar who had 18 months to prepare an answer to any question. important is to see through this, and it's obvious to see. It would not have looked good if she had started some sort of strange battle.
Wendi thought she was caught when detectives brought her in from the murder. She threw Charlie under the bus immediately. I believe they made the decision that if all went south Charlie would take the fall.
He says Wendi doesn’t drink alcohol but why was she on the way to the “liquor store” when the murder took place and she happened to drive by the scene? They lie so much they can’t keep track smh
7:20 right here, Charlie Adelson is lying through his teeth. Stalls by saying innocuous conversation took place between him and his sister before she vomited. She didn’t barf bc she had two drinks; she threw up bc her brother told her the job was done, or something akin to Dan Markel’s murder. Wendi is complicit somehow.
Being extorted twice and never went to the authorities.....makes sense😆. He testified on the stand he told katie he was in no way going to be involved in any of this mess......yet he lets her walk out of his house with all of his cash.....after she spent the night......again....makes total sense😆. Hes a good "story" teller......but not good enough
Astounding how these ppl act like they are above the law. Condescending. Audacious to think they could hire a hitman& that would be a solution? Criminally insane is Wendi.
He is a sociopath/narcissist!!! He still thinks he is the smartest person in the world!! I had to turn it off for awhile because I was going Insane!!!!
😂😂😂 Well unless you catch up on what he said, Then you have no business weighing in. You have to take all of the evidence that includes what he said today you need to listen to that and then make a wise and rational choice. Turning it off doesn't turn the truth off. I'm a victim of narcissistic abusive people and let me tell you, this man is not narcissistic he was confident and he gave facts today! I've listened to this since opening statement and I came in it with an open mind. During part of the proceedings I kind of thought he was looking guilty but my stance is completely firm now! He's not guilty of conspiring to kill mister Markel!
It’s amusing that Wendi and Jeff Lacasse drove all the way from Tallahassee to Miami, and her family takes them to a restaurant whose menu is almost a caricature of Southern-fried downhome food (gussied up for the Miami crowd). It’s like when my Australian friends visit the US and to screw with them I pretend we’re going to Outback Steakhouse. Jeff dodged a bullet (to use a dark metaphor) by not marrying into this gang of scheming narcissists.
@@pollyannaprinciple5860Because a prosecutor does not accept clients. A prosecutor works for the local city and "prosecutes" criminals. So, the person was trying to tell you that this lawyer cannot accept clients because she is a prosecutor.
Why didn't Mrs Cappleman ask the right question. Her cross was lame. This is not an attack on her character, she is a lovely lady but today I was underwhelmed and unimpressed....I hope the Jury was able to see right through Charlie..
She was unprepared for the extortion defense and she was unprepared to cross examine Charlie because she assumed he wouldn’t testify. Rosenbaum did an exceptional job preparing Charlie and developing a theory that gives a plausible alternative explanation for every incriminating detail. The jury might quarrel with why the hitmen would need to murder Dan to extort Charlie and not just extort him, but that won’t be enough for a conviction, and I believe Charlie is going home. Cappleman was outlawered. Sometimes murderers walk free.
@@WhiteDove73-888 Yes, a lovely lady. One can't thank her enough for all the work she put into bringing justice to the Markel family. She is highly determined, highly intelligent and I respect her much. But today she wasn't giving Charlie what he deserved. My opinion, you don't have to agree...
lives of 8 adults and prob 6 to 8 children so about 14 to 16 people forever changed because of selfish reasons, jealousy, greed, envy, narcissistic behaviors, etc…
Must say, this prosecutor is on another level..👍 👑 Very interesting to listen to her impressive questioning! 🥇

Ms Cappleman is on point.
Every time Charlie is being honest he says, “Actually” or “Honestly.”
Seriously
And when hes lying he says "not at all"
Charlie keeps saying you gotta ask Wendi, you gotta ask her, except when Georgia asks why Wendi went to the crime scene and then he has all the knowledge of why she didn’t, like were you there Charlie?
I am still trying to wrap my head around why this family chose murder as a solution.
To save money
It is so obvious that he is lying when he talks about how he was extorted and thought Katie was protecting him. Liar Liar cocky dude!

Why would the killers drive for hours and do the ultimate crime when they could have just stayed in town and robbed Charlie? I still don’t know the reason for the 1st and 2nd extortion. It doesn’t make sense.

He says Wendi doesn’t drink alcohol but why was she on the way to the “liquor store” when the murder took place and she happened to drive by the scene? They lie so much they can’t keep track smh
Do not forget his indictment includes HARVEY A.
If Wendi doesn't get a better lawyer than this guy, she is screwed
I didn't have reservations but sat at the bar where food is served but didn't order food and waited 1 & 1/2 hr. for a table...
So guilty
7:20 right here, Charlie Adelson is lying through his teeth. Stalls by saying innocuous conversation took place between him and his sister before she vomited. She didn’t barf bc she had two drinks; she threw up bc her brother told her the job was done, or something akin to Dan Markel’s murder. Wendi is complicit somehow.
At this point he thinks he’s slick and that he’s going to be found not guilty, now that he’s in prison I bet he rethinking his loyalties.
Being extorted twice and never went to the authorities.....makes sense😆. He testified on the stand he told katie he was in no way going to be involved in any of this mess......yet he lets her walk out of his house with all of his cash.....after she spent the night......again....makes total sense😆. Hes a good "story" teller......but not good enough
Astounding how these ppl act like they are above the law. Condescending. Audacious to think they could hire a hitman& that would be a solution? Criminally insane is Wendi.
He is a sociopath/narcissist!!! He still thinks he is the smartest person in the world!! I had to turn it off for awhile because I was going Insane!!!!
😂😂😂 Well unless you catch up on what he said, Then you have no business weighing in. You have to take all of the evidence that includes what he said today you need to listen to that and then make a wise and rational choice. Turning it off doesn't turn the truth off. I'm a victim of narcissistic abusive people and let me tell you, this man is not narcissistic he was confident and he gave facts today! I've listened to this since opening statement and I came in it with an open mind. During part of the proceedings I kind of thought he was looking guilty but my stance is completely firm now! He's not guilty of conspiring to kill mister Markel!
You turned it off because the prosecutor is throwing this away.
This attorney is gooooooood
3:09 Georgia is on fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥
It’s amusing that Wendi and Jeff Lacasse drove all the way from Tallahassee to Miami, and her family takes them to a restaurant whose menu is almost a caricature of Southern-fried downhome food (gussied up for the Miami crowd). It’s like when my Australian friends visit the US and to screw with them I pretend we’re going to Outback Steakhouse.
Jeff dodged a bullet (to use a dark metaphor) by not marrying into this gang of scheming narcissists.
Love this attorney. After this trial, she may not know what to do with all the requests she will get from clients to represent her.
She is not an attorney she is a prosecutor
@@DeeNorman-qo2yg What does this have to do with the Bigfoot video?
@@pollyannaprinciple5860Because a prosecutor does not accept clients. A prosecutor works for the local city and "prosecutes" criminals. So, the person was trying to tell you that this lawyer cannot accept clients because she is a prosecutor.
@@Jeremiah_29 So those rumors of her having a private side practice are incorrect. Need to research that better.
@@Jeremiah_29 Rules Smules.
I think your sister kids had a loving father, until your family took him away from them
She really cares about her kids!! No regard to taking the father away of her son's !!
Thanks!
Pretending he doesn’t know Katie, Garcia and Rivera were not his co-conspirators is hilarious
Why didn't Mrs Cappleman ask the right question. Her cross was lame. This is not an attack on her character, she is a lovely lady but today I was underwhelmed and unimpressed....I hope the Jury was able to see right through Charlie..
Not one person other than you has ever called her lovely. My gosh. She a b
Her husband has prob never even called her that
Lovely lady? Wow
True- considering the outrageous acts he's committed, she's not putting the proper pressure on him. He's retained his composure.
She was unprepared for the extortion defense and she was unprepared to cross examine Charlie because she assumed he wouldn’t testify. Rosenbaum did an exceptional job preparing Charlie and developing a theory that gives a plausible alternative explanation for every incriminating detail. The jury might quarrel with why the hitmen would need to murder Dan to extort Charlie and not just extort him, but that won’t be enough for a conviction, and I believe Charlie is going home. Cappleman was outlawered. Sometimes murderers walk free.
@@WhiteDove73-888 Yes, a lovely lady. One can't thank her enough for all the work she put into bringing justice to the Markel family. She is highly determined, highly intelligent and I respect her much. But today she wasn't giving Charlie what he deserved. My opinion, you don't have to agree...
I can't believe this isn't a TV drama.
It will be
A Netflix series
What a narcissist! WOW!
Splitting hairs while lying about the murder of your sisters ex
Wow. BULLET BOURBON REALLY?!
Charlie wants to say she done it.
I find it interesting he says coincidentally her friend emailed her about this bulleit bourbon… I wonder if police have talked to this friend.
@@melrey1351 Today I was listening to the jail calls 11 where he says Wendi didn´t even got an invitatation to that party!
Those bags under those eyes lol.
Yep, the whole family threw you to the wolves, you will have plenty time to contemplate and relive that.
lives of 8 adults and prob 6 to 8 children so about 14 to 16 people forever changed because of selfish reasons, jealousy, greed, envy, narcissistic behaviors, etc…
Why does he always insist on say absolutely before saying no 😂 such a confident liar jfc
I like the prosecutor's style.
This guy is so guilty
