By “it worked,” I think he meant that he was successful in keeping his defense theory secret until the trial. But who cares? I suspect his client is more concerned about the fact that the defense theory didn’t “work[]” with a single juror…

The defense that @amicuscurie posited doesn't depend on DA saying that CA committed murder. She can say (as CA testified at his trial): "CA came to me and said he was being extorted, and that I needed to write checks to KM. And if I didn't pay, the hitmen will kill him." This defense could...

I have a different take. CA seems to have fixated on several relatively minor pieces of evidence (e.g., WA's book and Ryan Fitzpatrick's testimony) that he blames for his conviction, even though I'm confident the verdict would have been exactly the same had they never been presented to the jury...

There's been lots of speculation that WA's purchase of Bulleit bourbon the day of DM's murder was some sort of inside joke referring to the bullets used to kill her ex, which supposedly proves that she knew in advance of the killing. Now Mentour Lawyer has posted what appears to be the actual...

This. At one point, Janice says to CA (paraphrasing): Let’s talk about Katie. Aren’t you livid about what she did (testifying that, yes, CA did orchestrate the whole murder conspiracy)? CA is uncharacteristically silent in response. Seeming to acknowledge that he shouldn’t say anything about...

Watch this video by an audio engineer analyzing the recording of this phrase. He is confident DA said "didn't say she was."

I've now listened to a few hours of CA's jail calls. One thing that's striking is that he never once says: "I'm innocent! I was extorted! I told the truth on the stand! " If I were convicted of a crime I didn't commit, I'd be screaming "I'm innocent!" at the top of my lungs to anyone within...

Starting at about 13:00, DA seems to be saying that she discussed with Rashbaum her plans to head to the airport and flee the country. I don't think DA was breaking any laws by planning to leave the country given that she hadn't been charged at that point, so I don't think Rashbaum can be...

DA filed this emergency motion complaining about her treatment in the the Leon County jail and requesting that she be moved, or even released on house arrest (good luck with that).

The Markels already have civil attorneys from Gibson Dunn, one of the best law firms in the country. https://davidlat.substack.com/p/the-dan-markel-case-charlie-adelson-95d

This article on the Adelsons' finances has lots of interesting information: https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/2023/11/18/donna-adelson-harvey-charlie-wendi-net-worth-money-dan-markel-murder-for-hire/71604043007/ However, the discussion at the end suggesting that the statute of...

From Miami Dade inmate search.

Per FanciFiction, DA has been arrested.

If I'm reading the latest docket entry correctly, it looks like the court has denied CA's motion to interview the jurors. The order itself is sealed.

Today Rashbaum filed this motion to permit him to interview the jurors in this case. His motion states that he received an email from one of the alternate jurors, who told him about an apparent group chat among the jurors. Rashbaum wants to interview the jurors about this apparent group chat to...

People have been speculating that if CA is convicted, DA will be charged soon thereafter. I don't follow that logic. While a conviction of CA would give the state a psychological boost, it would not actually give the state additional evidence. Recall that the impetus for CA's arrest was "new"...

I thought Rashbaum's highlighting of the fact that the cops don't believe CA was pretty damning of his own client, especially since he laid it on thick earlier in his argument about how much he respects the cops' excellent work in figuring out who killed DM.

I think CA is guilty as sin, but it's just not accurate to say "There is no evidence of duress or force, even in the Defendant’s own testimony." CA testified that KM told him after the murder that he would be killed if he didn't pay the extortionists within 48 hours. If CA's testimony is true...
