The alleged mastermind accused of orchestrating the brutal murder of FSU law professor Dan Markel took the stand and faced a fierce line of questioning from the prosecutor seeking a conviction against him. Charlie Adelson fired back numerous times, prompting the judge to intervene, while attempting to stick to his story, which contradicts the state’s evidence. The Law&Crime Network’s Jesse Weber breaks down the six most intense moments from Adelson’s testimony under cross-examination.

I do believe that some aspect of this story is true. I think Charlie was out drinking and throwing around a lot of bravado about how he’ll pay $500k to hire someone to kill his BIL, and Katie related that to her “other side of the fence” buddies.
Charlies will get an appeal
Charlie so affable & articulate
They need to relook at Wendi! You can’t believe she has nothing to do with this shitshow!! She’s a narcissistic, lying b**ch who would want her children to grow up without a Dad. Take those kids away from her!
Katie was not charles girlfriend. she was his pawn. that's all she was.
Wendi is playing the long game. She suggested during her police interview that her family could be connected, but she doesn't think they would be? (And so you brought it up why then?). If they aren' found great. Free babysitters, they pay for everything, fine. But you just know there is more part to her plan. She won't turn on them, because she would be turning in herself, so she's disconnected, testify in a way just to her herself.
Wendi's long game- get the three of them to arrange and pay for the hit with my tears, stay far away from them once lawyers are involved (she is the only Adelson who got her own council). They are out of her life, she gets control of what money is left, and she doesn't have those jackasses to bug her anymore. I think Wendi was screwing her involved family members the whole time.
Unfortunately, she was no match for Charlie….actually very poor! Bad luck that the jury convicted him years ago! Just look at the comments….no chance of a fair trial at all,😢
thanks, man. hope it helps me pass my Flight Planning and Monitoring paper for ATPL (H/IR) for which i opened up YouTube…
Aw. He seems like a regular nice guy. Who’s also a murderer.
G Cap is amazing prosecutor
Answering a question with a question 🤦🏾♀️…come on DOC!!!
This guy is too cool to be innocent.
The family is covering up for each order
Wow, his testimony is sooooo rehearsed!
He seems intelligent yet he’s the all time most foolish person Ive ever heard of. A complete dope
All this because Wendi wasn’t Happy !!?
Careful who you get involved with
This guy negociated with gang members a payment installment plan 😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have a niece that repeats everything she hears so Charlie you wasn’t in your son because you kept putting her in court !!! You was to busy going after half of your women and your mom and your was ok with it disgusting when she a lawyer for them and her brother dating them she disgusting
That judge is mean !!
This was great! Thanks for making this video.
Everybody knows Charlie payed to have Dan Markel killed, GUILTY
Love you Jessy Weber
Charlie is so arrogant! Three and four year olds are like little tape recorders! But Charlie tries to suggest that he is a 🙄seasoned parent of a five year old… however after his child was born the birth mother had to sue for paternity and child support! Then he was arrested and jailed before his murder trial even started, for 597 days (almost two of the five years of his child’s life… and he wasn’t even living under the same roof as the child!
He (Charlie) reminds me of that Gowan hit. “Criminal Mind” is the name of the single. Charlie confess and get your sister to admit her culpability. Brilliant lawyer. She’s impressive. It’s such a shame to see such a waste of educated people. Golden rule is foundational. Danny, rest in peace man. I will one day save you first if I ever get my Time Machine.
Who would murder a "enemy" of a person for free or without their on emotional attachment? Wait! and then get Christmas installments from the person that "did not like" the killed person?
Charlie, Donna and Wendi ALL HUNG THEMSELVES!!! THEY TALK WAY TOO MUCH AND HUNG THEMSELVES!
It is quite revealing that Donna and Harvey were not in the courtroom to show support for Charlie. This is a very close family with financial resources, and they can't show support for their son who is fighting for his life? Clearly, Donna and Harvey were concerned they would be arrested in Tallahassee.
Why didn’t Charlie go to the cops with the extortion?
He's the one that is closer to Dan as his brother-in-law yet he's depending on Katie to speak the truth about his nephews father murder. Yeah right Charlie go rewrite your script oops too late now you're already convicted.
Poor Dan got involved with a bunch of ruthless nutjobs who were capable of anything. Wendi and Donna look and sound like they have multiple Cluster B personality disorders including the Antisocial and the Narcissistic.
I believe him
Your sins will surely find you out!
paid 4her to vacation out of the country, so she could protect him
what if Katie says u gotta marry her or she can't protect u, then what
y did u whisper in daddy ear if u don't want anyone to know- I gotta ask-u whisper in Wendi ear so everyone knows
open the safe-gimme all ya money-im ganna protect u but don't tell anyone-oh u wa6me to spend the night,,,there even an attorney that thought ppl would believe this bs,this is true and real life, I'm dumbfounded
These North Florida attorneys shredded all those high priced Miami and New York attorneys 😅😅😅
Imagine this is your doctor!
Grandma Donna is next to be found guilty
Charles has suitcases under his eyes. His request for double mattresses must have been denied. Seriously, he requested double mattresses because he has a bad back according to him. LMAO
Is this worse than the guy who killed his wife’s sleepwalking defense? I think so. Hard to top but you did it Charlie boy! I’m shocked a hot shot winning lawyer would agree to use that defense. I guess bc all the arguments against him could also be (albeit, ridiculously) explained by his extortion after murder of an ex non-blood relative he wasn’t even close to.
Thanks to Donna, Dans life was taken, Charlie’s life is ruined, her husband (who I believe didn’t know about this) is devastated because his wife and son are in jail. Wendi is living in fear everyday. Her grandsons lost their father and Dans parents lost their son and they live in agony everyday. Great job Donna 👍
Hey Charlie! Want to hear the name of a nice Jewish wine. ‘Take me to Miami.
Oh, Charlie…you’re an exhausting “human being.” You’ll fit right in, in prison. 😂
what i find so disturbing is that made and well educated people are able to mutate into monsters and wipe out existences. monsters really do exist
I love when hit men kill the one person who’s a thorn in your side (without you asking) then blackmail you for having zero involvement. Such a classic plot in almost every movie made on the subject.
Just think, they could have got the same results by threatening to kill him and his family without killing Dan. 🤦♂️
This prosecutor was outstanding.
This podcast is "just asking questions" … do the writers have any experience or integrity in the practicing law?
24 minutes of "6 Most Intense Moments…" 12 minutes of which consist of mostly-superfluous commentary, PLUS an ad. Haven't you guys already milked this case dry?
The jury took 3 hours with lunch.😂😂😂😂
