Ms. V-M babysat KM's kids overnight the night before DM was murdered.

This was confusing to me, so I actually did a transcription of all of this, and then I did the timeline of the phone calls. They were done after midnight. There were no calls from SG before midnight to km. This, I would consider the night before the murder.

Q. I want to talk about the statement that the state elicitated on direct examination. We talked about that statement that Catherine made to you when she called about an accident. You remember that?
A. Yes
Q. Now the State termed it as an accident but that's not what you said right?
A. Excuse me
Q. The state said that Katie said to you Charlie says that he's been in an accident, the brother in law in Tallassee, right?
A. Yes
Q. but that's not what Katie said. isn't it true that she said that Charlie said to you his brother-in-law has been in a car accident and he needs to go to Tallahassee.
A. Idon't recall. I recall accident but I don't recall I said said it was a car accident but it's possible.
Q. Would looking at your deposition refresh your recollection?
.......... you can just read right here okay just let me know ..
Q. What did she say to you?
A. Car accident
Q. Now this is what she is telling you that Charlie told her
A. correct
Q. okay you don't remember exactly what day this was?
A. No.
Q. Could it have been July 19th?
A. Could have been
Q. Could have been 20th? 21st? But you don't know?
A. No
Q. But the thing that you remember is her saying that Charlie said that his brother got into a car accident.
A. Brother-in-law, Yes.
Q. And that that's what you told her
A. yes
Q. now when she is telling you this anything weird on her voice or is it does it sound like she was concerned
A yes
Q she was concerned
A. Yes
Q. And she was asking to go for you to watch the kids so she could see him before he went to Tallahassee
A. Yes
Q.She never went to Tallahassee
A. No
Q. She never mentioned any names like Dan Markel, or Wendi Adelson

I was the same way about his voice but have grown to really like him. You will get used to it.

Do you know what is wrong with his voice? I do like the way he is running the trial, but find it hard to listen to him.

 

[wildebeest]

Claritza said she was the only one who listened to the answering machine, but Erika said it was her responsibility.

???

 

[TrialLurking]

Does anyone know what kind of plea deal was offered to KM prior to trial? I thought I read that she was given full immunity if she would testify against CA and DA. I wondered if this included her testimony and no jail time? or was some jail time included?

 

[wildebeest]

Erika Johnson clearly did not want to listen to the recorded call between her and CA!

We're now listening to a phone call between Erica Johnson and Charlie Adelson. It happened right after police asked if Magbanua worked there and for employment records. #MarkelMurderTrialWTXL @abc27


Blaise L Gainey‏ @BlaiseGainey 21m21 minutes ago
We are now listening to the phone call between Erika and Charlie Adelson that took place after law enforcement arrived at the Adelson Institute. He tells her, "Do me a favor I'm going to call you from a land line on your cell phone."


Jada E. Williams‏ @JadaEWilliams 19m19 minutes ago
The call ends with Charlie Adelson saying he'll call her from a landline on his cell phone. #MarkelMurderTrialWTXL @abc27

Erika Johnson: "I don't think it's fair to record someone without their knowledge." The phone was wire tapped.


Blaise L Gainey‏ @BlaiseGainey 16m16 minutes ago

A violation of court rules has been spotted multiple times. People who are to be called to testify have been watching the live stream and speaking with one another. Specifically the Adelson Institute employees were seen doing so today. Not sure if any action is being taken.


Blaise L Gainey‏ @BlaiseGainey 8m8 minutes ago
Johnson says it is fair to say that she doesn't know whether or not Katherine Magbanua worked at the Adelson Institute. On the call with Charlie she said she told officers Magbanua did work there.

[Gypsy Road]

This morning on the stand, Charlie's old girlfriend stated he had a safe in his bedroom that was the size of a refrigerator. And that he had stacks of stapeled $100 cash she had seen.

Stapled!? I missed this morning’s testimony!

Is it a habit for people with that kind of cash to staple it together? Didn’t LR say the cash he received was stabled?

 

[TTF14]

Erika Johnson clearly did not want to listen to the recorded call between her and CA!

I wonder if the employees got substantial raises after July 2014. I wonder how their current salary compares to other employees of other dental practices. Would be interesting to know because the employees seem QUITE loyal.

 

[Gypsy Road]

Judge is making this lady listen to the tape whether she likes it or not, lol

ETA, interesting how none of them want their memories refreshed.

She still works for them. How awkward! If I had been employed at the Adelson Institute and found out about the murder for hire —I’d leave that job running!

 

[TTF14]

Stapled!? I missed this morning’s testimony!

Is it a habit for people with that kind of cash to staple it together? Didn’t LR say the cash he received was stabled?

Yes, the cash LR was stapled.

In the gf's prior deposition she told police she said to Charlie, "Stapled?! Why is that stapled? Why not just paper clip it?"

 

[wildebeest]

Does anyone know what kind of plea deal was offered to KM prior to trial? I thought I read that she was given full immunity if she would testify against CA and DA. I wondered if this included her testimony and no jail time? or was some jail time included?

Not sure, but surprised she wouldn’t have taken it by now.

Things are getting serious...

 

[fred&edna]

I'm not sure but possibly spasmodic dysphonia

I just watched J Lacasse. Doesn't seem that, at least for a brief moment, WA may have considered making him the fall guy?
Who tells anyone who they're dating, just don't call me for a week?
Such a definite time period.
This is such a cautionary note to all single men: beware who you meet; looks and personality are simply a veneer.
Dan, Jeff, and Travis A. all ran into sweet, innocent, and sympathetic buzzsaws.

I remember reading that when WA accepted his marriage proposal, DM told all of his friends that he felt like the luckiest man in the world. The poor guy - he had no idea about the nest of vipers he was about to marry into.
