I agree. I think he will get life without parole.

@Gardenista & TTF14 ... I'm in total agreement with you both!!

Disappointed but there are upsides. This is not game over, its a do over. The prosecution will be able to hone in on her in a retrial and the jury won’t suffer from comparison bias. By that I mean that the evidence for SG was much stronger and more direct. So by contrast the jury may have discounted the evidence against KM.

I also hope that this will move her to finally flip. One, Garcia is now in the can and her flip cannot hurt his case. Two, she has to know the retrial would be a major challenge for her, especially if her lawyers quit. Just the prospect of more time behind bars may move her to flip.

The State has no more evidence against CA now than they had before this trial. State's strategy may have changed but no new evidence. JMO.

Anybody know if bail allowed on 1st degree murder in Florida?

Adelson attorney ... (Markus) just released statement

I heard it.

Pompous.

 

[Gardenista]

CourtTV just read an email they just got from Adelson's attorney saying mistrial for KM means no case against the Adelsons.

Go drink your Bulliet Bourbon and keep dreaming, Adelsons.

Unreal!!!!!! Why would they even comment?!

 

[Gypsy Road]

Another guest commentator on Court TV (I didn’t catch his name) thinks indeed that the Adelsons will be charged. This was said after the statement from the Adelson attorney was read.

 

[Gypsy Road]

Because they are arrogant jerks.

Delusional, yes...but law scholars they are not.

Arrogance, I guess. There is more too--I'm sure the full email will be posted here once it gets posted somewhere on SM.

At this point, the State needs to either charge some of them or forget it. Enough is enough. JMO.

Agreed. Arrest them now.

 

[TTF14]

Agreed. Arrest them now.

Agree. At this point, what would they be waiting for? It needs to happen now or the entire thing dropped.

 

[clearskies1]

How can they claim one of the Adelsons was the mastermind in the SG and KM case but not charge the person(s)??? Does not make sense. JMO.

 

[Mariposa]

I just find it all very dispiriting. I know opinions vary, but mine is that chances are low that any of the ‘unindicted’ will be.

I wonder if GC will remain on the case. Maybe it’s just her regular demeanor —-but she has an ‘so over it’ vibe about this case IMO. And who can blame her really, this is a monster case. And I read somewhere she is interested in being appointed to a judgeship.

I seriously doubt any of the Adelsons will be indicted. It's a highly unlikely from what I've seen so far unless state has more evidence against them that we haven't seen. Which is doubtful because more evidence of conspiracy between KM and CA would've been brought out in this trial as it could've only helped convict KM. So they're not being charged anytime soon. Unless KM flips now, which is also unlikely. She's arrogant. She may view this as a good sign. I predict we only have another trial to look forward to, which I will be watching as a true obsessive! lol
