Money talks... 🤷🏻‍♀️ or incompetent investigators 🤷🏻‍♀️ or incompetent prosecutorial staff... honestly, when the opening statements were done, I was completely turned off and disengaged from this case; because the magnitude of details that were provided without any visual aid to afford anyone the means to keep up with all the alleged connections made it turn into a Charlie Brown teacher talk- you know Whot whot whot ... even the reporters for this trial commented on the difficulty in keeping up with the facts... they are all over the place with this case... I feel like some of the details should have been preserved for the sentencing phase... and what’s wild, is if “they” actually want to charge the Adelson’s they are literally giving away EVERYTHING they have on the case... which is ignorant as is, but even more so, when considering that Wendi is an attorney herself, and clearly knows how to evade answering questions with anything definitive... (on the real, she essentially demonstrated the way to answer questions without actually answering questions); this is significant, because it makes nearly everything she said speculation, and the ONLY things that can be used against her or them, are the things that the prosecutors have physical evidence of. That combined with Wendi’s ability to coach whomever with testimony (keep in mind she TEACHES law, which entails all the dynamics of every element) Which equates to what- no case, no accountability, and basically the “perfect” murder... Lastly, I feel this case is being presented so poorly, that it simply sounds speculative. Aside from Luis’ confession, they have nothing. Because you’ve got to have motive and a body. They’ve got the body... but without a connection to Luis, there’s no case... it clearly wasn’t a vengeance thing on Luis’ part and definitely wasn’t a gang assassination 🙄 and the way they are going against Luis’ credibility, they are going to lose the ONLY person who is admitting fault 😂 funny but not funny.

okay so Wendi and her brother financed it and set it all up....why is she and her brother not being prosecuted for conspiracy to commit murder and at times they even sentence the one who set it up first degree.....THATS WILD. am i missing something?!

If Charlie is offered a deal to get out of prison he will roll. It’s human nature. He was the catalyst for Dan being killed…it was Wendy wanting to move home.

I see now that I've watched a bit more, that these attorneys are trying to impeach his testimony. This seems wrong somehow, given that without his cooperation they might not have had much of a case.This lady does a better job than the male attorney, but honestly I get so sick of them raising their voices and trying to make a huge statement about this guy's honesty by quibbling over what exact words were used. Nobody remembers everything down to the details of what words were used to convey an idea. Luis is not being fake or dishonest here. He seems to always be himself, and to try to be truthful. I now feel a deeper sadness for him, knowing he did not actually shoot the victim. Had he been raised with the same opportunities that the ex wife had while growing up, I wonder what he might have done with his life.
