Dan Markel murder: Charlie Adelson sentencing 

I was just about to say the same .... he had everything he wanted .... and now nothing but 4 walls .... while Wendy is lying on the beach ⛱

H​@leemelbourne2867 she just left them for dead the dad anit gona make to see wendi be put away wendi probably telling the kids her family did it but I hope Georgia proves she was involved

Well said, I couldn't agree with you more. The Adelson family wanted to be closed, now they will be, but in jail.

@@mpmartin1588 Yep. I cannot imagine going almost a decade waiting for justice for my son's murder. That is torture. Mr. Markel talked about his night terrors in his victim impact statement - that is easy to believe. I pray they are able to find a little more peace today with Charlie's sentencing, however we know the battle continues. Next up is Donna, and hopefully Wendi after that.

Amen🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😢😢😢😢😢 just disheartening.

So, no more mercedes, teeths and family 👍🏼 We problably won’t see him around soon. Accept maybe if he’s a witness in moms case 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m curious about that

A child should always outlive their parents but sometimes life has a cruel way of snatching the carpet from under your feet. Im certain that the Markel family would prefer a million times over to have the presence of their son versus this life sentence and the boys too who will know that their father loved them so very much. Finally justice has somewhat been served but the real masterminds Wendy and her mother need to rot in jail too. Until then I wish the Markel Family a Happy Hannakua and let us pray that Wendy is next and that the boys get grow up with real loving grandparents and learn of their heritage and practice their faith and traditions like their father wanted.

I cant help but to feel like that was his sister's plan. His was one of the first names she mentioned. She wanted him to go down for this.

He's learning too late that if you do the crime you also have do the time.

@@ethos1236 😂

@@hanaayr There is NO DOUBT that this was entirely Wendi's plan. Just NO TINY BIT OF DOUBT.

Karma. I don’t feel one bit sorry for Charlie. He’s a grown man who made his decisions.

If it wasn't so serious it would be laughable

He must on (useless) appeal.

Also, this!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

U are so correct this whole crazy scheme was stupid and senseless

So apparently his lfe was not perfect after all

It may not have been perfect, but I'm sure he would take that life over the one he has now.

I think he in away he's the man he gotta that he can solve the families problems. He take a minute to what kind the person he's sis was, may he wouldn't destroyed his all life for her. This man is well educated,has carried, well-known and handsome. He got them gorgeous girls chasing him. If that was me I'll be like sis I nonu! But I think you're a very spoiled little B gotta go.

In prison, each year counts double or triple.

Karma is right around the corner........

​@CarrieReynolds-nf5zu karma starts with momma bear Adelson being arraigned same day he was sentenced? That was not planned by the State

​@CarrieReynolds-nf5zu they both maintain their innocence, though. What they are missing is gangs do not commit murder to blackmail you after the fact. That is not a thing. Gangs do hits for money up front or on rival gang members

I just don't understand why they didn't get along (Wendi & Danny)?

@@dabneyoffermein595 Jeff Lacasse (dated Wendi after her divorce) said her family is pure poison and that she was a total narcissist. Jeff put up with it for too long - he also was the first person to mention Charlie as a likely perp to police. There were red flags from the beginning of the Dan/Wendi marriage such as Wendi’s family blatantly not serving kosher food despite its importance to so many attendees; sadly I think Dan was so happy to meet a well-educated and beautiful woman from his religious faith that he ignored massive red flags all around. The whole Adelson family is poison.

So many people are living this nightmare in many ways and can’t fight or pay - just being strung out and abused through only wanting to have their a family and kids. Family law is truly in the trenches nowadays.

The reason for killing a human being and father of ur children was so stupid. Just for Donna and Wendy to live together in Miami, 1 hour flight. That's nothing. Such a pathological enmeshed family.

This won't feel like justice to me until Wendi is sentenced, the kids are reunited with Dan's parents, and the kids recognize the Adelsons for who they really are. If the kids don't get deprogrammed, what's the point? The Adelsons still would have gotten what they wanted, parental alienation in addition to annihilation.

Donna reminds me a LOT of my ex’s step dad. He was relentless. He broke into my house, assaulted me and kidnapped my son. Also, he assaulted me again while I was pregnant. He’s a Denver lieutenant who thinks he’s above the law. And unfortunately, things I had proof of were not admissible and my attorney didn’t want to touch it. 😔 I could have been Dan. I thank God every day I got out.

I think that’s so interesting! We all know 3 women are murdered each day in the US by a romantic partner, which is a number that’s so hard to wrap our heads around. Obviously, the numbers are more like 3 per YEAR not DAY when it comes to women murdering men in a legal divorce setting, but the context and motivations and psychology is so different from basic misogyny. An interesting thing the Markel/Adelson case has showcased is the sociopathic hatred, as you mention. It is obvious in the testimony of Wendi & Charlie, and recordings of Donna, that their antisocial attitudes were so strong they STILL don’t view Dan as a human being.

Amen

Same.

For the life of me I cannot understand why a person would do something like that for your sister just so she can be the closer to Mommy daddy

same here!!

​@@EffSharpthey thought they could get away with it. Makes it more chilling

None of it was worth it. They could've all been living their lives by now.

It’s ridiculous because it doesn’t even affect him or have anything to do with him. It was his sisters ex husband ffs

The taking of an innocent life was the worst.

They have destroyed so many lives because they can’t handle anyone telling them no

They had old money, and they thought that would be cover

Lol

So crazy, too have money good career and throw it all away for a selfish ass ungreatful ass sister smdh. Wendy will be next it’s only a matter of time

At least he is not crying hysterically like Katie was

😂

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Yes what stupid wast of life

Yes, we all die much too soon anyway, all of us....what right to hasten anyone's death, let alone the father of your boys or grandkids, whom you profess to love so much.

@@catherinew7169Those may be circumstances of the divorce & not the custody & post divorce motions. Wendi said he became more devout during their marriage. She didn’t allege he hid it.

What if he didn't but was just framed?

@@vikkijames6000Girl I hope Santa gives you some critical thinking skills this year

​@@vikkijames6000what if my Aunt had balls

​@@vikkijames6000in what world would these Latin Kings feel compelled to kill Dan, then blackmail them after the fact? That makes zero sense. Cause the Adlesons (or anyone with sense) would have turned them in immediately

I would call it justice.

Now THAT, would be justice magnified!!! 🙏🏽

They had already said they would put them in foster care

It might happen

@@jolo7693 It waas only long enough for the Markel family to come from Canada to get the children in the event Wendi is arrested. No way would the Markels want their grandchildren in long term foster care. Wendi is a master at manipulating the truth.

Pretty sure it was Georgia Cappleman and not god who made this day happen. ;)

Amen 🙏

How ironic that God give this justice to Daniel's parents during their Holy Days of Hannakua. GOD DOES NOT PUNISH BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER HE IS A JUST GOD! " LEAVE ROOM FOR MY WRATH, FOR JUSTICE IS MINE SAYETH THE LORD!" - ROMANS 19: 20-21.

​@@maranda7033😢

​@EffSharp yeah but I'm sure she received her wisdom from God.

They all made bad personal choices

She did! She did not love her kids! Sad!

just unreal. WHO DOES THIS!? Many of us have ex's, and we may not like our in laws at all - heck I have a son in law I cannot stand! He's a horrible person, treated my daughter terribly, and has been a terrible father to my grandchildren. But MURDER?? Seriously - I will NEVER understand. And this man was a great father who fought for his children and his time with them at every level! They had a fantastic dad! What in the hell were they thinking??

@@christina5kids16grands That's Just It, THEY WEREN'T. 😈

​@christinarosser6706 you said it perfectly! I've been obsessed with this trial since day one! And you know what, as time went on, the bitterness of the divorce and the kids getting older would have made things get easier...well for us normal people anywY. This family is insane and really believed they were untouchable

Wendi wasn’t in on it. It’s all Donna, who got her son to pull it off.

No, Wendi is the mastermind. She was just smart about it. ​@@theoriginalsurferbob

@@goll58 She wasn’t involved in the planning at all. All Donna.

@@theoriginalsurferbob What makes you so sure of that? Not saying that in a smart way, just generally asking. Why would her mother go through all that for her daughters issues? Doesn't make sense.

@@goll58 Well it does make sense if you’ve followed this closely. Bottom line is Donna flat out saw Jibbers as someone in her way of controlling her grandkids. Thats it. It wasn’t about money obviously. It wasn’t about love. Revenge. It was those were HER grandkids and how dare he not allow her daughter from relocating to Miami so SHE could be in charge of their lives. How dare Jibbers be in control. It kept eating away at her. Read the emails and texts and wire tap calls. When she finally reached the point of what she set in motion, she easily manipulated Charlie to pull it off. She wasn’t able to do that. She knew he could due to him rolling around with Ho’s off the boat who had very shady associates. Wendi in no way on earth was part of that plan. She never ever would have said, ok mom, that sounds like a sensible solution. Impossible. Once it went down, obviously she knew who was behind it. What then could she do? Distance herself from them. I’m positive she’s not only infuriated by what they did, but hoped all along they’d get busted. And yes, it was Donna who was behind the grandkids names being changed. If Donna and Charlie would have told her ahead of time their plan, she’d have said, WTF!!!!! Ya I do t like my damn Ex but I don’t want him killed!!!!!! Donna certainly would have known that would be her response. Donna is clearly upset that since that murder, especially the last few years, she didn’t want much to do with her mom and brother. It wasn’t because she was fearing the law closing in. It was because she very much so hated what they did. Wendi is not at all like Donna. Charlie is exactly like Donna.

In prison, each year counts double or triple.

Yes yikes he looks rough

he's not getting any sleep in a county jail. it's rough in there. in prison, it will be better for him.

Yep, just like that evil woman Lori Vallow who killed her children. In a few years she aged 20, Charlie will be the same.

Yep ppl seem to age faster in jail

What a disturbing fall! One dead and a living life dead!

Imagine having it all in life. Top 1%, and no you’re in the bottom 1%. Dang! He was an absolute fool. All for his sister who always looks well rested and assured.

Oh well....

1.2 million dollar house for a bigger house.

Can u imagine his life before and now? Howvsad

He will not last very long. He will take himself out

​@@user-ku4qj9ue4v I think you're right. Same with his mom, Donna. She isn't doing too good in jail awaiting her trial. Boo frickin hooooo! 😊

@@user-ku4qj9ue4vI agree sadly

@@donnawhite1292 Framed by the corrupt judiciary without tangible proof! Her son and his cohort are the real culprits.

​@user-ku4qj9ue4v a narcissist never take their self out.

I know, I started crying!

Yes, someway somehow those boys need to get away from the Adelson's. Next to be arrested: Wendi Adelson & Harvey Adelson (just arrest them on the same day).

He's a fool and he came to a fool's end.🤔

I was thinking the same thing about how much he aged in a matter of 2 years. It's about to get a lot worse.

omg 😂 I would say not with how he’s looking these days but you never know… 😬

He did? 🤭 Cracks me up, when Chuckie is described as “good-lookin.” Yuck!!!

@@weeyee60 He really did. Good looking? No. I think of Beetlejuice when I see him.

@@ethos1236 ~ Right!?! 😵‍💫

I think there's a 50% chance that Charles might . I see no chance of that by the mother , because she was the great manipulator .

Charlie didn’t do this for Wendi, he did this for his mama’s approval.

Exactly, his sweet life is over, and for what finally Danny can partially sleep in peace he want fully be able to sleep until Wendy and her mother go to jail for life as well

Doubt it was that much. And for half that he would've had a much better lawyer. This guy wasn't great

Probably 250-300k

1.5 million

@@bbrcummins1984 Thanks.

okay

Karinkoen. .!!! Me too, the Wagners..wow.. 8 folks for suspected child abuse, mmmm!

Don’t put down bunny huggers. We think she’s gross.

@@BelleFleurs1Donna is the mastermind of all of this. It’s so sad. Justice for the Markel’s.

After 20 years in prison, Charlie would be 70, and his child stopped visiting him. Donna and Harvey are deceased, and Wendi is probably incarcerated. He is harassed daily by other inmates, and his well-being has been significantly affected. Alone and sick in his cell, he reflects on the day he suggested eliminating Dan, now regretting his choices. He questions why he made such a decision, wonders if he was under the influence that night, and curses Wendi and Donna. He contemplates whether it was all worth it and whether Robert remembers him.

And his teeth are rough but en

my thoughts exactly

He won’t. Narcissists think too highly of themselves. He’ll adapt well. His scummy street persona will serve him well

He’s too narcissistic to do that…

Not if the Latin Kings get him first.

😂 Hundreds of thousands of murders unsolved in the US!

She’s not Jewish and they were never married. They see others as “lesser” than

so true . But when you're in a certain situation you don't always see it . I ve been there .

I was shocked when I heard about that. What a truly awful person. I don’t remember it coming it to the trial though you would think they would use that as evidence of him being evil?

🎉🎉🎉 YES

That is the best line, that sums up this case perfectly

I studied law and I never pursued it bc I saw how unfair the system was and how corrupted

Then don't be a defense attorney. 1000's of other types of attorneys do wonderful things for many. Plus, occasionally, innocent people do get falsely accused in one way or the other and need a good defense attorney. I wouldn't generalize as your complaint is really with Rashbaum those like him.

@@Bigbadmilf Justice was done in this case. No corruption at all other than Adelson cannot be put to death for what he did.

Every one in this country deserves an effective defense. He had his and a jury found him guilty, end of story.

The lawyer made snarkey faces throughout the trial. I think it killed his case!
