That Kathie girl hit the wall very hard.

[@mareavoce1272]

What a ridiculous defence - the extortionists kill the person you hate then ask for money??! That’s called ‘a paid hit.’

[@KingOfHarlots86]

She got offered immunity,had a mistrial and STILL got life 🤷🏿‍♂️ karma is a MF 😂

[@PresidentGerard]

That is not Georgia Cappelman giving the opening statement Jesse!!

[@chrischristoferson1191]

This Adelson family is really mental ill. To conspire to kill someone and have the nerve to this you’ll get away with it is absurd.

30:10 Charlie telling the story and continues to look down like he is reading a script. He memorized this "story" while in jail for a year and a half.

@@kevinmc4500omg spot on! 🤣

[@Centurianm78]

I think one of the biggest circumstancial proof of guilt against Charlie is he was telling his mom on the wiretap "if your being threatened, go to the police". He said that several times. Well, wasn't Charlie's story is he was being threatened? He would've gone immediately to the police if his story was true.

@@user-wl9ue2gd1r I don't remember the defense every saying that Charlie was threatened that they'd blame it on him.

[@Centurianm78]

@@user-wl9ue2gd1r I dont remember the defense or Charlie ever mentioning that the killers were going to claim he hired them for the murder. Charlie just said his life was in danger, but maybe i missed that part.

Why do my responses get deleted?

[@Strlrd1023]

How insane is it that someone is killed, police ask you “who could have done it”, and the list of possibles that comes to your mind includes YOUR BROTHER, *and yet* you claim to never have bothered to ask “hey, you remember you joked last month you wanted to kill my ex? Well, funny coincidence. He was shot in the face yesterday. You didn’t have anything to do with that didya? 🤔” I guess if she’s gonna lie, she might as well lie big. 🤷

It’s infuriating that Wendi still hasn’t been charged!!!

[@VioletJoy]

Right??

[@VioletJoy]

​@@caterinascarcellaHopefully that's coming.

[@michaelsterling6163]

Wendi is a disgusting human!

[@hypsyzygy506]

Wendi manipulated everyone, and got total control of her children. Too bad her brother and her mother are going down, but she really doesn't care.

[@Youtubereplies]

That’s not Georgia, it’s Sarah who did the opening

[@crisprtalk6963]

She was offered immunity and turned it down? I cant believe it. Stunning.

[@Charlesbjtown]

Donna was hip to the game they were running. She knew that guy was an agent, and was very likely being recorded. She finessed that VERY well.

[@VioletJoy]

Yup.

[@alexisvazquez5272]

I grew up with tuto and tato in Miami beach ! Unbelievable

[@jocelynastheart2732]

I am so lost! in this trial...it fudge's with my brain!

[@stevengallant6363]

All the conspirators in this case are doing Wendy's time.

[@GolfMamaBear]

If Charlie and Donna were innocent, they would have gone to the police as soon as Donna received that envelope. Charlie’s defense is laughable. But for the fact that Dan Markel was murdered. I hope the state goes after the rest of the Adelson family.

[@vikkijames6000]

Charlie in court looked hopeful for a favourable verdict.
