If you read the transcript carefully, Charlie is not threatening to kill whoever is threatening them. It’s complicated, but it sounds to me like he is saying that the person who is blackmailing them knows he’s messing with “the king,” Sigfredo, and if you do that, “you’d better kill him.” When it’s all chopped up and you can hardly hear it, it sounds like he’s talking about himself, how he wants to kill the blackmailer or have him killed. But if you really look at it written down, that’s not what he’s saying. He’s speaking as though he is the blackmailer.
This alleged threat Charlie made to have whoever was doing this killed is a big part of the state’s case. It was in a lot of the news coverage. It’s sensational. Because they couldn’t really hear the context until they got the expert. But I think you can poke holes in it. Especially if Charlie testifies.
