LIVE! Real Lawyer Reacts: Adelson Undercover Recordings: Trial Days 4 and 5

[@bluefalconcrest5632]

Who WANTS to see Wendi and Donna BEHIND BARS?

[@karenaltschwager5929]

I had to scoff when charlie refers to blackmailers as low life's...... well what does murdering someone make him?

[@sflo4538]

Someone with such a severe personality disorder such as he seems to have doesn't self reflect or take accountability, apparently.

[@karenaltschwager5929]

@@sflo4538 not wrong there. He needs convicting...and the 2 women most pivotal in his life. These 3 separated a good daddy from his children , it's only justice that they all be separated in prison cells.

[@sunitamosesesq]

​@karenaltschwager5929 yeah. I don't think he'll pull off a Danielle Resnick... Somehow she got people to feel bad for her. Charlie isn't going to convince anyone of that extortion story- especially not with them constantly speaking in code. But I applaud his effort - he's taking the only chance he has to pull off a miracle.

[@pinkgorilla99]

I feel so sorry for those boys. Their father is murdered and one day (if they don’t already) will know their mother, uncle and grandmother had him killed. And they haven’t been able to see their paternal grandparents. It’s so tragic and evil. I hope they can be raised far away from any of the Adelsons and have peace and love in their lives.

[@cathyjohnson3894]

Totally agree!

[@kellijanssen1171]

And their names changed back to their birth names.

[@platedlizard]

and who knows what has been put in their heads about their dad, it's really tragic

[@christoph1596]

Innocent til proven guilty? Also, this trial has really highlighted that Charlie and his mother seem complicit in this, but there’s been next to nothing implicating Wendi in this job..

[@terripetre8159]

Will she change the boys names again?

[@Rael_486]

The fact that they couldn't keep their mouths shut says it all. Even when they said didn't want to talk about it, they still talked about it. 😮

[@JMM599]

Imagine you’re innocent and a random guy hands you a letter with a article of your murdered son-in-law demanding $5000. If someone asked you who is was from, you’d say “I have no idea!” Instead, Donna said “I have a pretty good idea” and then later on said it involved “the two of them” and that charlie would have a pretty good idea what it was about. That’s all you need to hear to KNOW they were involved. Not the behavior of innocent people…or even innocent people being extorted and scared. They KNOW what’s going on…that’s a red flag

[@Franciscasieri]

That's what gets Donna indicted next month

[@thaisdantan2293]

Imo she didn't immediately totally connect the bump with the murder. The whole event was weird but a significant amount of initial response "was it the IRS?". This is from a do as much as possible in cash family when receiving payments .

[@jaguar5455]

I would have called the police instantly right from the spot.

[@swann433]

Nice job of explaining all of this. I hope the jury sees thru Charlie's bs...

[@allday-xx4zw]

The fact that all the family are highly educated and yet still done this , is mind boggling. How did they think it would be ok and get away with it.

This whole entitled family needs to be held accountable. They are unbelievable and I’m addicted to the drama. Tx for the recap.

[@RealFIRSTONE]

you bypassed the most important part of the recorded conversation btw Donna and Charlie : "if they're threatening you then you should go to the police DONNA'S RESPONSE WE CANT GO TO THE POLICE WE ARE BEYOND THAT NOW..."

[@mortalclown3812]

That's the line that nailed it for me as far as Donna's complete involvement.

[@alyssalauren8088]

I was much less impressed with the defense attorney today than I had been in previous days, he really could not argue against these audio recordings in a way that made sense with the extortion defense

[@counselorkia]

I feel soooo bad for Dan’s parents! They are so overlooked in all of this!

[@whiteheart6827]

So many killers of one man. It is mind boggling to keep track.

[@Joseph-fw6xx]

​@@whiteheart6827yes to many people involved in this crazy scheme

[@sallycinnamon5370]

If I was being extorted…I would not be afraid to tell my son that I was being extorted on the phone. “OMG. The extortionists that killed Danny are back for more money! What do we do?’

[@sflo4538]

Exactly!

[@keithcitizen4855]

Yes a double worry for Charlie IE either law enforcement or the bad guys turning on him which he can fix with another payment of murder for hire from his professional casual sex liason , but if it is "the cops" he is safe no worries bring it on , too safe now actually because it was.

[@sflo4538]

Charlie says to Donna "Nooo..." they wouldn't be blackmailing you, that's crazy... um, if you have been blackmailed before wouldn't your reaction be "AGAIN?"

[@phillipaclemons7261]

Good point

[@kristineanderson6167]

Bullseye, Peter! 🎯 No one could have given a better initial summary. This has to be your best work. If the Adelsons had been innocent, there would have been plain talk: “Look what happened to me today!” She would have clearly told Charlie what the agent said. Her reaction did Charlie’s defense no favors. It displayed guilty knowledge.

[@trishwedin4664]

I just dont understand how this mother hasn't been arrested yet. She is the actual mastermind. Charlie is just her little lap dog wanting moma to love him.

[@Pr1ncesaPR]

I’m surprised the defense brought up Katie lying to Charlie about calling the under cover agent when he completely lied to his mom and Katie about what he said to the agent. What a coward. Katie naively thought he was a real friend. Smh.

[@Country_MiMi]

There’s truly no telling what all those people have told the kids. I’m sure these narcissist have made themselves out to be the ones wronged. I just hope that they aren’t so brainwashed they never search this out for themselves.

[@mortalclown3812]

The Adelson vacuum can't last forever... and won't. I won't be surprised if they don't turn their backs on Wendi once they realize the entire plot. It's horrific.

[@melb4jd245]

I’m so glad to hear you finally say something about right his animation and reaction. Yes in court. I cannot believe his lawyer has not coached him on that. Through this entire trial he should be stoic and not show any emotion unless it’s appropriate. What he is showing is a very guilty hand.

[@RestorativeRenaissance]

Yup! Same with Richard Murdaugh. Still got convicted and confessed to financial crimes while trying to get away with murder 🤦‍♀️

[@klite21]

With the Chat Group giving their opinions on cases, the more he can build his understanding on how a jury might be swayed on said types of cases. His platform is fun for him, but he also gets a good look on how modern semi-intelligent people react to different types of evidence.

[@resellernurse]

The undercover agent literally sounds like law enforcement. It would’ve been way too evident to me if I were her.

[@alyssalauren8088]

Right!! He sounds so professional especially when he answers the phone not like a gang member at all

[@l.a.w.79]

I thought the same exact thing!!!! Clearly Donna was so panicked, she couldn’t discern the situation because even the drop off “bump” was evident to me that he was NOT “about that life.” I could have done better acting than that by pulling out my make shift urban accent. 😂😂

[@glorias3838]

Once again, a great synopsis of this trial. Recap is great

[@kellijanssen1171]

Even though this bump was about the murder, but I can’t help but wonder how dirty all of the Adelsons are when Charlie keeps asking if it was someone from the government or military. That piece blew mine mind. Plus Donna tells Charlie the letter involves the “two of us”. The agent actually said Katie’s name and not his ex-girlfriend. I’m glued to this trial.

[@shannon2740]

He clearly has been evading taxes for a long time! When he asked about the government, he was thinking of tax evasion. He did say that later on one of the phone calls, I’m very curious as well, though about what he meant about the military???

[@christydurbin9277]

They gave cash discounts and had large stashes of cash remember?

[@Joseph-fw6xx]

​@@shannon2740they definitely didn't act normal for innocent people

[@bluefalconcrest5632]

Wendi doesn't know what love is. She is sitting across her "DEAR-BROTHER" the one she LOVES, the one who will spend the rest-of-his-life in prison AND SHE IS ALWAYS SMILING..... Is this CRAZY or what?

[@Cynbad333]

Great recaps today @Peter! I don't know how you do soooo much. Thank you!

[@sflo4538]

Whoever asked the question about Katie not knowing who Tuto and Tato were... she knew EXACTLY who they were and that they went together for the hit because she delivered the money to them after... she was either acting purposely dumb (which she tried to do at her trial to no avail) or didn't want Charlie to know Sigfredo did it for her... it's possible Katie just said some gang members did it and didn't tell Charlie who. Not sure which as Katie only recently, sort of, starting telling the truth...

[@trishdadish21]

You don’t take the paper period!! You’d be perplexed as to why a stranger would be talking to you, and you would express they must have the wrong person and politely excuse yourself and walk away. Then call the police and advise them of the interaction to help them find the true people involved.

[@mortalclown3812]

Exactly. That's what you do when you're not guilty.

[@personalchefservicesofsues4362]

And...if Donna were not involved, she would have said, "Katie who? What are you talking about?"

[@sflo4538]

Supposedly she already knew that Katie had been blackmailing them (per defense theory)

What do you think the jury is thinking about Charlie claiming innocent yet his best witness to back up his story is not there (Donna) If his theory was true wouldn't Donna be there testifying to being extorted, wouldn't she be there supporting him . They both look guilty ASF by her hiding

[@mortalclown3812]

There are technicalities involved with the state's decision not to call Donna. As an unindicted co-conspirator, she's got to be terrified at this point.

When Donna calls the bump guy why would you tell a dangerous man you have grandkids?? Someone who is threatening you , your going to tell them you have grandkids at your home, the same home where the bump happens in front of her house WTF cmon Donna, why didn't she ask him what do you know

[@chipsdad5861]

18:25 Neither of these people are smart. If the were smart Donna would never have called Charlie and just drove to see him. They also would have had a walking trail or someplace neutral to meet that could not be easily surveiled. Charlie is obvious nervous. The paranoia is what is going to finish you in the end.

The one thing that makes this family really scummy is that they quit allowing Dan's own parents to be with the only remaining trace of Dan, his children. That is sick and inexcusable and makes me suspicious about them in general. Very stupid move on their part and it's going to come back to bite them.

It's well beyond biting them at this point. In a few years, Dan's sons will be 18 and can reclaim their name. The house of lies will burn down with the Adelsons trapped inside...so to speak.

I enjoy most of your insights but sometimes...Not the best undercover work? If the goal is to get the suspect talking then it was gold. I don't think Clarence Darrow could get a defendant out of the conversation between Charlie and Katherine (sp). They are freaked out, combined with the fact that the mother got a note and then a call and none of them went to the cops while the cops were looking for who murdered the father of their grandchildren.
