What a amazing judge 👍💯💯💯💯💯, he puts up with no nonsense, 👍 Touché the judge says it the way it is . Good for the judge, for taking control & holding onto it. Job well done judge 👍💯❤️
This has got to be the absolute worst defense team I’ve ever seen. The defense wants to testify rather than ask questions. He hates getting smacked down.this attorney needs to be sanctioned
OMG.. This is THE WORST defense attorney that I’ve EVER seen or heard!!! He’s a “Charlie Adelson” of the legal field… obnoxious to say the least. Ugh 😩 did he really pass the bar? He’s rude and condescending towards someone who is more intelligent than he… Watching him cross the FBI agent is very painful 😖
Is it just me, or does this attorney just keep asking the same questions over and over....and over? Then says "I'll tell ya what, we'll get back to that in a moment" and then asks another question he's already asked!
3:02 this judge just ate his lunch. He is sharp as a blade. Whatever is his slight speech problem,it ain't got nothing to do with his brain and his ability to dish out the rule of law.
It’s a vocal tremor. Usually isolated to one or a few nerves. The medication for it gives worse side effects than the tremor itself in some people. I actually kind of like his voice with it, but my mom also has this condition and it drives me batshit when I hear her. 😂
This judge is amazing, he does a lot of the other big high profile trials...He has Parkinson’s disease...In one of the other trials I’ve watched with him, he discusses it because he had a cold on top of it so he talked with the jury apologizing and saying it might be hard to hear him because has Parkinson’s and also a slight cold that day....I love this judge...it was great to finally get the answer of just what it was that made his voice shake....He’s just top notch...He’s so fair, really listens, and truly has a heart...even for these gang bangers, he’s kind and polite to them....Lotta care inside that man’s soul ❤️🙏🏻
@@TentinQuarantino_ 😂😂🍺😎🍺God bless your mom.🙏An actress in the days gone by named Kathryn Hepburn suffered from the same condition. Your mom probably remembers her.😁
Why are people making a judgement on the judges "speech problem"? It didn't even cross my mind. The judge is so obviously professional and experienced and his supposed speech problem wasn't even a factor I considered whatsoever.
I find it sickening how they are getting all the poor low life's and not the rich low life's. Donna should have been wire tapped and Wendi should be wire tapped. Having Charlie in jail isn't good enough. They need to all be put in Jail. As someone noted the jury thinks Wendi is guilty and if that's true they could get a conviction.
The defense is struggling. Props to this special agent for holding his own. Furthermore, the defense counsels attitude isn’t going to sit well with the jury. He should be careful that they find it disrespectful and trying to force truths that just aren’t there.
Courtney Agree! This judge is awesome.... He is definitely not buying into the defenses Bull crap!! They must not have real good law schools in Florida... These attorneys have no strategy at all... I bet these defense attorney's will definitely not be on Miami's Police Dept. And Florida FBI's good side at all!! The way their treating a special agent on the stand!! Lol
This defense attorney is a complete joke. does he realize what a fool he is making of himself? Agent Sanford is so patient, I don't know where he pulled that patience from Even the judge has had just about enough of this as well. He's not putting up with all this fairytale defense.😳
This defense has undoubtedly been the worst I've ever heard from. Between the FBI acronym to summarizing a home as a "DOPE - I MEAN DOPE house" is so laughable. The Agent has down phenomenal at firing back and making it blatantly obvious he finds the defense to be a joke.
seems absolutely insane that NO one would have thought to take a pic of that letter to mom Adelson, or that any/all interviews would not be taped. That kind of blows my mind in this day and age.
Both these defense attorneys are the worst I have ever witnessed!!!! Both so terrible ! Would not hire ether one to walk my dog!! They would make poor public pretender’s!!
This lawyer has a very unfortunate and condescending way of speaking . I wish he would stop saying “ right” I think he’s making a real fool of himself .
His way of speaking is by design- he’s trying to sow seeds of doubt into the jury’s mind. By constantly speaking in a condescending tone, it subconsciously plant’s negative feelings towards the agent/prosecutors and the way they’ve gathered evidence in this case, or I believe that was his goal, anyway. And it seems to have worked in this trial, at least.
Love this agents attitude towards this attorney! He along with the jury realizes how much of jackass he is!! He is wrong on so many things! Did he even do any investigation???
As a Natural born citizen of the US taking the murder of Dan Markel out of this. I have paid my taxes paid for all of my children s needs and I didn’t deal drugs. It makes me sick that all walks of life take advantage of the Government and leave people who really need and deserve the benefits high and dry. Then on top of all of their criminal behavior, they bankrupt the State they live in prosecuting them
Thank god that, unlike the jury, I could ast forward most of this and move on. That lawyer, not only is he an a'hole, he's boring, repeatative, and I'm sure, put the jury to sleep.
The attorney tried to slip in a fast one saying that they mention Kats name the detective says your incorrect instead of the fool of an attorney saying ya your right I am wrong he says ok let’s talk about that!! LMFAO what a clown!!
Absolutely wild some of the things attorney Decoste said. Playing on what the acronym “FBI” stands for not just once but TWICE, is just crazy disrespectful to the court. I thought the 2nd go around when he characterized it to mean “Federal Bureau of Intimidation” that the judge was gunna go ape sh*t. I understand WHY he (Decoste) is doing what he’s doing here, with the constant rhetorical questions and condescending tone- however, it was over the top. And he’s very lucky this judge (largely) took mercy on him- because he deserved to be brutally admonished by that point.
Katherine's defends attorney is so bad and he pretends to be very knowledgeable and only makes a full of himself. Most of the times he's wrong. I love the FBI agent, so patient with this lousy defense attorney
Something I can’t help bearing in mind as daily working relations in criminal cases defense attorneys before the judge come and go, while the state an ever presence before same judge.
My dad was in the FBI back in the early 50s. I have always thought that the FBI held onto a certain form of professionalism that was well above what's normally found at the state or local levels. Even today, the FBI is well respected in the world of forensic work, identification, kidnapping, interstate flight and many others. But I wonder if they are getting too far flung in the cases they work on. That tends to muddle their high standards. We should have another law enforcement agency, don't create a new one but use an existing one, to help out on local cases like this. I understand it was all part of a Latin Kings RICO act investigation, but you get my point.
Did you know that when the FBI was first formed they were not permitted to carry firearms. I do agree with your statement about the FBI. I will also say it is the law enforcement agency I trust the most.
@@danieltadros3262 I didn't know that about the FBI. My dad said you had to either be an accountant or have been to law school to be in the FBI. I guess those were the only two categories.
@@johnallen2771 It took several years after the FBI was formed before they were allowed to carry firearms. If you google history of FBI the story comes up. The secret service is the oldest law enforcement agency. It was formed during the civil war by president Lincoln.
It sounds like this def atty's strategy is entirely about throwing out innuendos about biased intent by lawful authorities, not caring if it is stricken or not, just to plant the idea in the minds of the jurors and detract from the real issues here. Very poor strategy, imo, Just the facts, please.
Sorry but the effed up that whole bump when Charlie called and the agent specifically said Katie and Tato and Tuto. Of course its going to end up with them AFTER they specifically say their names on that call. Garcia and Magbanua attorney should be arguing THAT! I don't do anything illegal and neither does my family but if someone gave my mom a letternand mention 3 people i know regardless if they did anything wrong or not you bet your ass im giving that paper to them so they can see it and telling them what this person said. It would have been EVIDENCE if they never mentioned Katie or the two guys and THEN it ended up in their hands.
With probable cause and a warrant signed by a judge, they sure are. The judge will usually set a time frame that the wire can remain up and functional. Once that time expires, the agents (or PD/whichever agency is investigating) must go back to the judge and justify additional, again using probable cause. Or at least that way it supposed to work!
I have questions as to why this agent would not record the "confession" of this murder! Lead investigator no report no recording bc he was not in Fed custody that's laughable
28:36 *1ST TRY:* It's a Federal Bureau of Investigation, right? Not the Federal Bureau of _Imagination..._ 52:37 *2ND TRY:* Federal Bureau of Investigation, right? Not the Federal Bureau of _Intimidation._ 😅🤣
The hard evidence is against Wendi Adelson …. so, why was everyone wire tapping Charlie? What we haven't heard are the phone calls between Charlie and Wendi at this time. Or, Donna Adelson and Wendi Adelson. (After listening to the evidence just in this trial it is obvious Wendi's phone calls should have been monitored.) Charlie speaks to Donna and Donna speaks to Wendi but, we have no idea what's being exchanged. And, now that everyone knows the significance of Wendi's claim about TV's and hitmen and Jeffrey L. and TV repairman and TPD interview about Jeffrey L. …. and then Donna calls Charlie whispering about TV's, the letter and this TV will cost 5K and this involves you and me and I think you know what I'm talking about.
They had phone calls between the Adelsons but the judge didn't allow them because they didn't include the defendants. When and IF they ever prosecute the Adelsons I'm sure we will get to hear all those phone calls
All these people and money the FBI used when they could had used an external microphone and a cell phone?? What a waste of time and money to make these people seem like it was a big operation and they were important!!!!
This judge does seem very bias for the prosecution! I’ve never seen a judge ask witnesses random questions to explain themselves! Isn’t that what the attorneys are for?! I would think this case has a good case for appeal!
He allows jurors to ask any remaining questions they have, and I think it's a very good idea. I like and respect this judge. Have heard him in other cases.
A guy CALLED the Dental Institute looking for Harvey …. but, Charlie tells his mother he knows who it is and then turns around and tells Katherine to find out who the F*CK it is! Are they talking about a phone call to Harvey now or the bump letter? What 'guy' called the Harvey institute? The undercover cop in the bump gave them a number to call him. HE wasn't calling them. So, what in the world are they talking about? Why would a phone call to Harvey Adelson be significant? Did the person say anything? Get a hold of Harvey? What were they talking about …. that would be important or relevant to this case?
Garcia called the elder Adelson, thinking it was the younger Adelson, out of jealousy. Not really case related but...at the time, he didn't know he had killed someone for Katie's boyfriend "the dentist"
From the get go they’re already caught … why will Charlie call Katherine? Because she’s involved he could’ve rang up any other Ex but it was Katherine he did so it’s the obvious she’s in it. Including Charlie’s mother Donna and hey Wendi knows it too for sure but she got away
Because she knows nothing of the murder, Katie has no idea that Charlie, in phoning her, is fishing for information: Is this his hitman extorting money or is it an FBI sting? Katie and Sigfredo are both mentioned specifically by the "Undercover" and Charlie is well aware of this. He is desperate to know the source of the note which is why he pushes and pushes Katie to investigate. Katie, oblivious to the truth and increasingly concerned for her family's safety, is extremely reluctant to get involved in what she perceives as another family's problems
Classic case of Confirmation Bias. The FBI pulled the theory of Katherine being involved out of thin air. Then they interpreted the phone taps in a way that confirmed their beliefs I would say the very fact that Charlie called Katie at all proves she wasn't involved Unfortunately Charlie made both his mum and Katie look guilty with his calls, codes and secret meetings when in reality neither of them had anything to do with the murder
Is that why Katie is still sitting in prison awaiting a New trial? And I have heard other judges give this Judge high praise for being fair and ruling by the rule of Law.
@@deannawiederhold333 Georgia has travelled so far down the wrong road pursuing Katie it's difficult for her to admit that Katie wasn't actually involved ... that's why she is still in prison
It is my opinion after studying this murder since 2014, that, sadly, Kathryn is involved and does have full knowledge. What is very sad is that the Dentist brother of Ms Adelson deliberately involved her and USED her. However $100,000.00 was involved. So they are all guilty- Charles Adelson, Kathryn M, her Garcia and the other jailbird glad for the money. The most evil murderous culprit is Adelson who hired the hitmen- had he not met KATHRYN, he would have found someone else to kill Markel. He himself moves in dubious circles and must know many criminals who deal in drugs; guns; money; plus dodgy business persons . I wonder if he ever had time to carry out Continuous Professional Development in Dentistry.?? One lesson we can take away is -do not be fooled by people with money. Eat cheap food rather than date scamp's. Many 'successful' businessmen are tricky, dodgy, law-breaking middle-class with no consciences.
Law enforcement's goal for the bump was to generate conversation between two co-conspirators in a murder-for-hire, but they achieved exactly the opposite What law enforcement get, what we hear in the wire taps and restaurant recording, is two people never once talking about the murder or related topics. Katie, obviously, because she wasn't involved, so has no knowledge of the murder, and Charlie thinks this is people extorting his family for reasons he can't work out Because Katie's name is mentioned by the undercover during the bump, Charlie has no understanding that the note, this guy (the undercover) is actually related to the murder of Dan Markel Law enforcement unknowingly framed Katie for the murder. It's a classic case of confirmation bias - create a theory and use corrupted "evidence" to fit that theory, thus convicting an innocent girl
