GUILTY FL - FSU Law Professor Dan Markel Murdered by Hitmen-Donna Adelson Upcoming Trial - *5 Guilty* #28

[opt]

Which means his only option is to cooperate. Why wouldn't he throw WA under the bus??

What could the State offer Charlie at this point?

Well LR got 19 years for cooperating, KM was offered full immunity so i don't think the State would baulk at the idea of offering CA something. If he accepted something similar to LRs deal. 19 years, with time served, he'd be out in 15 years, before his 65th birthday with still potentially another 25-30 years left to live. Or he can live in a hot concrete cage for the next 40 years whilst his sister lives the life of Reilly..

That said I don't think CA will cooperate. I don't think any of them will. They very easily and callously killed DanM not caring about the damage they were doing to the boys, yet, paradoxically, I think they carry great shame because of what they have done. Not because they murdered someone, but they don't want the boys thinking ill of them. It's strange really, illogical. CA would prefer to spend 40 years in a prison cell rather than admit to killing Dan. Perhaps WA would take an Alford plea, she goes to prison, but does not have to admit guilt, so will possible be seen as a victim in the eyes of her sons?

IANAL, but can the state offer CA a lighter sentence now that he has been convicted and sentenced by judge and jury? Without his conviction or current sentence being set aside after successful appeal?

I’m not sure this is a power that DA has.

Then theres HA and the honey pot. I'm sure he is subsidizing his son and wife and maybe the princess for all we know. There is no statute of limitations for muder so we can only hope.
