GUILTY FL - Dan Markel, 41, FSU Law Professor, Tallahassee, 18 July 2014 - #9 *arrests*

Maybe this is obvious.

The KM hung jury probably emboldened KM, CA, DA, and their defense attorneys.

The SG guilty verdict and 9-3 guilty vote for KM probably emboldened the State.

Perception is reality.

Dan Markel murder suspect due in court following mistrial
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — The last of three suspects accused in the Dan Markel murder trial is due in court again Tuesday.

Katherine Magbanua is scheduled for a case management hearing. There are now three legal options for Magbanua:

• Prosecutors can dismiss charges
• They can offer a plea bargain
• Or head to a jury trial all over again

If Magbanua's lawyers continue to back her innocence, a retrial could move quickly. Tuesday's case management hearing begins at 10:30 a.m.

We'll bring you the latest update both online and on air.

No plea deal. Next trial is April 13 with the same counsel for KM.

 

[kooshx]

She's also been declared indigent. Is the state going to pay for her present legal team?

Unbelievable. Literally.

Based on this news, any predictions about when/if an Adelson will finally be arrested?

No plea deal. Next trial is April 13 with the same counsel for KM.

So - no hearing in between now and then? TIA!

IMO 50/50 chance we see CA/DA arrested between now and April 1, 2020.

March 17 and April 9 will be pre trial hearings for Magbanua.

At the end of the trial, there was the talk of an Order to Transport for Rivera. Speculation was that he might be testifying during the penalty phase, which he did not. My thought was that he was going to testify for a grand jury while in Tallahassee. I am speculating, of course, but wouldn't that be convenient?

The juror interview got under my skin for many reasons, but one was her disbelief that Rivera just up and decided to quit the Latin Kings. How unbelievable she thought! Well, when you cooperate with law enforcement, that is high treason to an organized crime ring. Rivera, on the stand, mentioned "they" are trying to kill him. He's a significant liability and enemy #1 now to the gang. The juror viewed it as if Rivera was fibbing about actually leaving it. Like a book club or something.

I posted back a few years ago about my run-in with someone in Tallahassee who had a law enforcement friend. This friend of my friend said he had to get extra training to protect Rivera. Training that envolved dealing with sharpshooters on the tops of buildings in Tallahassee, etc. My friend said that Riveria was known, by law enforcement, to be on a hit list. At the time, my immediate assumption was that someone in the A's clan put out a hit out on the dark web or something. I know, tin foil hat stuff, but I did not know what to make of it. I had no reason not to believe my friend.

Now, I'm more confident that it was that law enforcement had to protect him from his own gang, as they prob feared what else Rivera would tell the cops. It makes sense to me as to why Rivera got only seven years. If he talked to the police, there is a good chance he'll end up assassinated too. Risk versus reward. A massive risk for Rivera.

Interesting. It's quite possible this isn't the only deal he made.

IMO there is some legal/financial shenanigans and camouflage going on in PH1 in Miami to make sure that DeCoste, Kawass, and Saamy get paid in full.

@GordonX I'm with you now on this.

I'm clueless about gangs....why would Rivera want to be in gen. pop.? I realize this is not quite on topic!

#MarkelMurder - New trial date for Katherine Magbanua set for April 13, 2020. 2 weeks ago a mistrial was declared when jurors couldn't reach a verdict. Magbanua is charged in the murder-for-hire death of FSU law professor Dan Markel.

Iirc, understand he said he wanted into general population so that he could visit with family and friends and also have more phone calls Etc.

It is my understanding from following trials and listening to the ear hustle podcast at San Quentin, that they segregate gangs and individuals in different pods that they think are dangerous to each other. Not sure how they do that with Rivera.

One would think if a person was unequivocally innocent KM would we jumping up and down for speedy justice. It appears there is going to be at least another six months in the slammer for KM and an entirely new life ahead for SG as he embarks on his new journey into the cut throat world of the State of Florida, Department of Corrections. More time to think and do the right thing and come forward with the truth! IMO: The noose begins to tighten for WA/CA the true cause of this whole debacle.
