Congratulations to the prosecution team for an amazing trial. Justice for Dan!!

[@sangertx9077]

Agreed. Personally, I never got to the stage of evaluating witnesses, the prosecution’s “performance, the defense’s “performance, how Charlie did on the witness stand…etc. The theory put forth by the defense was so kooky, and the way it was just sprung on everybody…none of the other things mattered.

Justice for Dan Markel! Finally!

[@Scraggledust]

[@gwynluv5447]

There won't be true justice unless and until Donna and Wendi are also prosecuted and sent to prison. The children also need to be raised by Dan's family. Then, and only then, will true justice be found.

Charlie almost starting crying when he first sat down and he whispered "it was 4 hours right" to his attorney. First realization that life as he knew it is over! Why are they always so sad for themselves when they are caught, yet never give a 2nd thought to the life they stole from their victims?

[@Asisya18]

why do people question the levels of empathy/sympathy coming from a person who plotted to kill another human being? he's sad for himself alone bc he's an arrogant, self-entitled psychopath who never cared one second about the man he had murdered.

[@SS11660]

Seems like his attorney told him the verdict with that pained look, almost crying.

[@robertburke1486]

Look at his facial expressions at 4:35 in the clip; going from dread, terror and finally devastation on hearing the word "Guilty". This was not a spur of the moment crime like hitting somebody in a bar; he had a long time to think about doing it, and now he's in soooo much pain....

[@karenbaldry8096]

So true. There was no thought about the human life he had cruelly taken. He had a wonderful life of privilege. He has blown it all away with his arrogance. He thought his money was going to save him. WRONG.

[@user-ln6dk9fg1n]

Dan was described as a *devoted* father and an observant Jew, now his children have to grow up and realize that not only were they robbed of their brilliant superstar of a father, it was at the hands of their mother and her family. Heartbreaking all around!

[@GrandmaMarlayne]

Four down and three to go! Congratulations to the prosecution team. Amazing, detailed evidence. They have so much evidence it should be fairly quickly that the rest of the Adelson's are prosecuted around the first of the year. This prosecutor needs a raise for this fantastic job she has done! Terrific, unemotional, direct-to-the-point evidence!

AGREE!!! shame the kids will be grown by the time all of the trials are over.

[@colleenjoan8072]

I was thinking the same things. I bet there shaking in there boots .

[@rembo183]

I totally agree she is very professional and fair. She was very focused and presented a strong case with all relevant the facts in court for conviction. Getting Katie to flip was a key factor and helped, though she was a liar, her testimony was corroborated by the other evidence. The jury heard all the evidence and it was a horrible murder. He probably deserves the death penalty, but will get to live out the rest of his life after taking Dan’s. Hopefully, this mandatory life sentence provides the justice and satisfaction necessary relief for the Markel family. They have suffered and continue to suffer. I feel their grandchildren should be transferred back to them and get the Markel name back! This murder by the Adelson family with the purpose to steal is awful. Wendi and Donna must be punished as well. Wendi must not keep the boys. I think that Wendi started the plan to murder Dan. Charlie should now be flipped next to prosecute Wendi and Donna. Not sure about Harvey.

Just the mom. So far, there has been no evidence against Wendi to implicate her in the plot. Perhaps the mom and brother tried so hard to insulate her, that it backfired in their faces.

[@laurenisyourollin]

He had a choice. He DIDNT have to do this… now Dan is gone, his nephews don’t have a father, and he’s going to spend the rest of his life in prison. He had a good life. Why do this?! What good was it going to benefit him that Dan be gone? I don’t understand why he would do this! Rest In Peace Dan!

[@johnnysupertramp1090]

He did this for his mother, she was the motivation for him to do this, for her.

[@billveek9518]

Maybe he didn't actually intend for these cohorts to actually do the deed but his just encouraging them was enough to get a conviction, or he might be innocent? I mean the girl was in jail for life and never fingered him until later? It's weird.

[@mariostoumbas6531]

I am greek from Cyprus but have lived in the US for 16 years. I am very proud of the American judicial system and these 12 jurors that have decided on this case make me think that there is hope in this world! Amazing prosecutor, smart, confident but down to earth and a judge that was 100% in control of his court room. Big mistake for Charlie not to take a plea bargain and risk to go to this trial with this ridiculous scenario! His lawyer seemed like the same kind as the Adelsons, cocky and over confident. Shouldn’t have taken this case without a plea if he was as smart as the prosecutor.

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

I'm not sure a plea deal was offered.

[@Ze_Moose]

I don't think they gave Charlie any deals BUT Magbanua was given a deal to never go to prison if she turned on the others but she refused and now she's doing life 🙄

[@sunitamosesesq]

I agree. People may criticize it, but America still has the best judicial system in the world. Acting in accordance with the letter of the law is only a part of it -- you still have to convince a jury of ordinary citizens, that your position is the correct one. Judgment by a jury of your peers is a critically important part of our system.

[@lovepet4565]

Thanks so much I love American judges and jurors And the rights we enjoy

[@sunitamosesesq]

@Ze_Moose yeah...that's really interesting, isn't it? I suppose that snitching on a gang member isn't a good idea, and if she did, her life would have been a prison anyway. But the fact that she testified against Charlie, even though she had nothing to gain from it, gave her a lot of credibility.

[@JeepGirl45]

Now it’s time for Donna! I think she was the ultimate mastermind. I think Wendi also knew about it but there isn’t enough evidence for her. Plenty of evidence to prosecute Donna from what I’ve seen.

[@Penny_Royalty]

I think they have just enough to go after Donna but not enough for Wendi. However the outcome of Donna’s trial would provide some insight to whether they have a shot at Wendi, I just worry bc there is no money or communication link directly between Donna and Katie or the hit men. I missed it but is there proof of a lump sum from the mom to Charlie? Bc she said they would each pay 330,000 to pay Danny off so I’m wondering if Donna transferred any money to Charlie. Although they didn’t have to give the hit men near what they were gonna pay Danny to give up control of the kids relocation. I guess it was a small enough amount for Charlie to keep wiring to Katie but did the mom provide any to Charlie? Prob not enough to look that sus. But come on … Charlie didn’t do this on his own without Wendy’s ok.

[@unrealuknow864]

@@CarolynYanik Wendi also asked her boyfriend if he was going to be in town on Friday.. Had he not left the day before, he would have driven very close to the house at the time of the murder. She was setting him up. Her interview by police is evidence. She was clearly lying. They need to get an expert to analyze her behavior to get past the circumstantial evidence.

[@surgedeb]

Wendy will take a plea deal.

[@laikaevelyn4478]

To me, if Donna is eventually charged and convicted, i'd consider the situation punishment enough for Wendi. She will be left alone with the burden of raising Dan's boys. I heard her complaining to June, how hard she was finding the task of raising the boys, so with her free nanny (Donna) taken away, it will be all the more hard, coupled with the shame of being an Adelson and not having a husband to support her. After a while, i bet she will wish she had left the boys names as they were and not changed to Adelson. The Markel name, now carries a lot more goodwill while the Adelsons are wishing the ground could swallow them and cover their shame

[@miamars90]

I disagree. I feel that Wendi knew. Especially when she decided to visit the crime scene which took her out of her way. However, I have a feeling that she didn't want to be included on the details. The fact they gave her immunity also makes her guilty.

[@amy7310]

His defense literally did not make sense they murdered Dan to blackmail me... those ppl just happened to know where he lived, his schedule, when he was travelling.. Wendi cancelled her trip with her boyfriend to be around the date of his death because she knew her boys would need her😢 . This is a disgusting family.

Soooooo, do you think Harvey,, Donna, and Wendi are booking flights to France [no extradition agreement] or any other country that makes extradition difficult? My guess is a resounding YES. Great job by the Prosecution and the jury! Well done, all!

[@robertaustin6302]

You called it buddy. Donna was arrested yesterday trying to flee to Vietnam.

[@thomasryan1289]

@@robertaustin6302 Indeed. Saw it yesterday and was not shocked. Innocent people don't flee. So what do you think Wendi's up to? Time will reveal.....Cheers

[@habibi750]

Now he has to also face the Latin kings for falsely dragging them into this 😂

[@Sulynn707]

How long before Donna is arrested?

[@cherlywhtsup]

Now arrest the sister and mom

[@Penny_Royalty]

Omg I want the effing grandma charged next she was the captain of this ship! After reading all those letters I feel like it was her idea and Charles always wants to be the fixer and the hero and Wendi just let it happen.

[@sindiswamoolman5505]

Listening to the guilty verdict feels soo good. That verdict hit him so hard. Now he knows how it feels to be held accountable for his actions.

[@karinkoen9767]

How does one throw his life away like this? These murderous families, like the Pike County murders as well. Very sad

[@kittywhiskerz]

Dan’s parents look so kind. Heartbreaking.

[@d8ngdeld8ng]

The first time he showed emotion. Truly sad for both families, but the Justice is justice where it should be.

[@indiragandhi6445]

Watching this trial consistently, i only have to ensure one thing and maybe my dying wish too: to deeply inculcate to my children to never ever commit a crime, to do good as their life gets better, to always remind themselves that it is not cowardice to not fight back. Freedom is priceless and precious! I am so glad that my 21 year old boy has never been in any fight from the time he was young up to this time and so are my girls.. peace is bravery!

[@vanessaalvarado8048]

Wow, never heard a judge read out loud their last name when polled. Regardless of whatever state a case is being tried in, jurors identifies should be kept confidential.

[@DeeDee-il7zk]

Why would anyone put themselves in this kind of situation!!

[@karenrner]

Dude looks like he hasn't slept in a year!

[@Carolina-uf2ip]

He says it was under 4 hours right? Yep, he knew he was done

[@yoyit-realtor]

Thank You Lord. There is indeed justice for Dan Markel.

[@Ejdubb]

He thought he was going to get off. He is literally sick to his stomach.

[@ileneclarke9954]

So many lives destroyed because of their selfish act.😢Miss Donna and the rest of the family r shaking in their boots right now.

[@nicoles8176]

There is not enough justice if Wendy and her mom are not charge

[@sayla1996]

Lady Macbeth, I mean Donna Adelson you played a crucial role in the tragic events that led Daniel's murder and Charlie's downfall. Donna you better lawyer up !!

[@erm1317]

When he walked in and sat down, whatever he said to attorney and he started to cry.

[@glitter7777]

Looked like he said “under 4 hours right” meaning he knew that usually is bad for the defense

[@idi0tdetectioninprogress]

When the verdict is returned so quickly, it means the goose is cooked.

[@noserialkiller3596]

What I find shocking about all of this is Charlie and Wendi are educated people. Donna is heavily involved in this crime. Expect more trials for the Adelson family. No Serial Killer.

[@natalyd9674]

This is what's shocking to me too. Presumably "civilized" people who stooped down to the gutter over something that could have been resolved legally.

[@HiddenExistence]

Educated /intelligent means nothing . He thought his money was his power its definitely wasn't his brains !

[@ivannio8519]

[@josiechaplin5312]

Donna chose Dan from a Jewish dating site. Then doesn’t like it when Dan wanted to observe Jewish traditions like a kosher diet. Their wedding was supposed to have kosher food but Donna/Wendi nixxed that.
