I'm suddenly becoming a Zangeneh fan.
Now if DeCoste can get his client to see the light I might even forgive him for his weaselosity in court.

LOL weaselosity!!

I hate to say it, but I think that the chance of convicting CA or DA is lower today than before the trial. Before the trial, there was the chance that KM would flip and give testimony directly implicating SG and CA (and possibly DA). Today, the state no longer needs her to get SG. And during the trial, KM testified under oath that she: 1) had nothing to do with any murder plot; and 2) never conspired with CA to murder DM.

Now that she's told that story under oath, can the the state really put her on the stand at a future trial to swear exactly the opposite? I'd be interested in hearing from the attorneys in this forum with criminal experience whether they think that KM now has value to the state as a witness given her trial testimony. Of course, if she testified at a future trial that she did conspire with CA, the defense would have a field day pointing out that she was admitting that she committed perjury at the first trial.

Cappleman said it will be up to Garcia’s attorneys to offer any additional information to help her target the Adelsons.

Garcia’s attorney Saam Zangeneh, however, said he believes the focus will now be tighter on Charlie Adelson, as well as his mother, Donna, and sister Wendi.

“If I was one of those three, I would be very nervous because now is when certain things that couldn’t have happened in the past are options,’’ said Zangeneh. “Figure it out.”

I don't think he'll turn on her. He is whipped.
so whipped —- like LR said! KM has SG “crazy” — remember LR saying that in his police interview?

@vislaw was right! This wasn’t on GC. This was a bad draw. It’s unfortunate but it happens. State now has leverage on KM! That is good news. KM will be sweating bullets for the next few weeks thinking about 11-1 and how close she got to a life sentence! If that doesn’t wake her up from her narcissistic arrogance, nothing will.

So this joker Zangeneh waits until after the verdict to start sounding like he’s got some sense after all?? Lol.

Speak clearer for me, Mr. Z.......I'm not "figuring it out." What do you mean?

She has value — admittedly reduced value – but it depends on any corroborating information she can provide. she might be able to get family members or other witnesses to step up and corroborate her “new“ testimony if she flips.

Is There a New 20/20 Episode on Tonight? – 10/11/2019 | Heavy.com
“20/20” features the first television interview with Matthew Shaer, host of the popular podcast “Over My Dead Body: Tally,” on Dan’s murder. The two-hour “20/20” includes interviews with Tova Walsh, Wendi’s best friend; Georgia Cappleman, state prosecutor working on the case; and Michael Weinstein, Charles’ attorney; as well as police interviews with Wendi and her ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Lacasse on Dan’s murder and footage from Luis’ confession tape."
Sounds kind of dull. I don't care what the podcast host says (I liked the podcast however), Tova was on the original 20/20 already saying WA is wonderful, we've all seen those police clips and lots of Luis.

The Adelsons being arrested is what I’m thinking.

Right, sounds like a deal will be made because otherwise Z's talk seems to forego an appeal of the guilty verdict -- conceding guilt? JMO.

Snips of statements from GC and family

GC
Assistant State Attorney Georgia Cappleman, who led the prosecution, said she was disappointed in the mistrial. But, she added, "We're going to regroup and try to do it better next time."

Family
“After waiting five long years, we are relieved that at least one of the people responsible for Danny’s murder was convicted today and are grateful for the tireless efforts of law enforcement and the State Attorney’s Office,” said their attorneys Orin Snyder and Matthew Benjamin. “Yet justice was only partially served. In light of the mountain of evidence presented by the State Attorney’s Office, we are confident Katherine Magbanua will be re-tried and convicted.”

“As all who followed this trial know, there is more work to be done to ensure that everyone responsible for Danny’s murder is held accountable,” they said. “Until that day comes, we will continue to fight for complete justice and to be reunited with our grandchildren, Danny’s two young boys, whom we love and miss dearly.”

KM lying under oath is definitely a problem for any future deal/testimony she might give. She can be easily impeached. But it doesn’t completely rule her out! State can still get it done if she has good evidence against Charlie! Knowing what kind of person she is, she might have something in her back pocket. That’s all she’d need!
 
  • #1,436
I know we all want the Adelson family brought to justice, but am I the only one who thinks KM needs to rot in prison for the rest of her life - or at least the next 20 years - deal or no deal? She’s just as horrible as the rest of the bunch.

I read that as SG and possibly KM cutting deals.

Attempted murder. And I can honestly say to this day I have no clue what this woman’s position was. Because she had none. She ‘what if’’d us to death! She berated another juror right off the bat about something minor. It was embarrassing. We all hated her by the end. Others were much more patient with her than I was. I was just OVER IT! I let others cajole her and she finally caved! Which tells you she had no real conviction. We all predicted she wanted the control! That’s really what it seemed like. Another personality disordered woman!

WOW ... very interesting!!

Yes, she is. But the Adelsons are worse (minus Harvey, I think, and Robert).

She has blown a chance to get a really good deal. A lot of her leverage is gone now. She will be in prison for quite awhile I think. I dislike her more than I dislike SG. JMO.
