The Adelsons got away with first degree murder in my opinion. It's a complete miscarriage of justice that the people they hired were arrested, tried, and convicted but NO ONE in the wealthy family that hired them to do the deed has been arrested for their part in the crime. It's infuriating. Because of their actions, a man is dead, murdered in cold blood at his own home, and Dan's children have been robbed of having their father in their lives. Just disgusting.

Would love to see an updated summary/analysis of this case! Always value your perspective, and now that the mother-in-law tried to flee the country, there's a lot more to analyze.

"I guess she found him unbearable" 🐻 I burst out laughing😆 thanks for always making my day doc!

I put on this video while I was cleaning up after dinner. My 19 month old son was playing with blocks. When he heard your voice, he ran over, smiling and waving at my phone. Pretty sure he thinks you’re an uncle on FaceTime at this point. 😂

Do doctors ever take a day off? Your hard work to entertain us doesn’t go unnoticed. Thanks, Dr. Grande!

Now that Charlie has been convicted and Donna has been arrested, the next step is to arrest Wendi as well. They were all in on it.

“There are other ways to settle disputes instead of homicide” Deep.

Dr Grande, I was wondering if you could do an update on this story since a LOT has changed since you first did this story. Always appreciate your valuable insight.

I think you're possibly the most professional KZfaqr I've seen. I really enjoy your work man, keep it up! 😁

I have followed this heartbreaking case. Hope the Markels can see the grandchildren soon.

"Maybe she just found him... unbearable" Outstanding.

Charlie Adelson was arrested and the scheduled trial is sometime next year. He’s an interesting specimen, please consider analyzing him. 🤓

I appreciate the Yucca's dedication to making an appearance whenever possible, despite its hectic touring schedule.

This case is covered absolutely extensively by lawyer presenting regularly on KZfaq - "Mentour Lawyer". He knows the parties involved in the case and has several dedicated playlists of the depositions and trial. It is fascinating to watch, and especially to hear from someone who knows the people, the situation, the local area, and the law. KZfaq Channel - Mentour Lawyer - Playlists include - Anatomy of a Murder; Interrogations of Wendy Adellson; etc

According to Dan’s mom, Ruth Markel, not only did Dan read Wendi’s book- he promoted it. Source; The Unveiling by Ruth Markel. That chestnut about Dan not reading her book or thinking of her as an equal was yet another Wendi Adelson lie.

Have a good weekend Dr. Grande and everyone in the comments 💙

Dr. Grande k*lls even k*llers - with his sharp analyses and his sarcasm. Love it. ❤

"This bear name fuelled euphoria couldn't last" its dry humour like this that keeps me coming back here to listen to Dr Grande's voice of reason

Dan's ex-wife's family is definitely involved. They wanted to eliminate him from his children's lives for good.

During the trial Wendy said. Her brother told her he looked into having her husband killed but it was cheaper to buy her a Tv.

That was such a terrible thing to happen to the man who just wanted to keep his children near him

This world today is keeping you busy Dr. Grande, but you keep us so informed. Thank you!

An Acrimonious Divorce? The Ex Husband is Murdered? They Suspect The Ex Wife as the Mastermind? That's a Shocker!!!! .... but I have to admit, the 🐻 bear reference was funny. Thank you Dr. Grande 🪴🐰🐣!!!

I remember the first time hearing about this "oh OK, it was a murder for hire, and it turns out they were hired by *checks notes* no one."

“I suppose this was a method in inducing nausea in bystanders” LMAO!!!

"inducing nausea in bystanders"... I can't!

Wendi Adelson had other things to lose, not just her children. Dan Markel's legal actions called in question her integrity as a professor and attorney. She could very likely have lost her job and license. Wendi's boyfriend, Jeffrey Lacasse, began seeing a therapist due to his relationship with her, and the therapist mentioned that there were two options to explain her behavior. Either she was simply sowing "wild oats" during her new experience as a single divorcee, or she was a sociopath.

Wishing a Happy Easter to everyone who celebrate!🐣

I 💘 your straight face while you deliver your puns.🤣

I feel so sorry for Dan and Wendi's kids. As adults, watching videos like these and seeing all this come out about your family! Even if their mom and grandparents are innocent, this would be horrible to face but especially having doubts about their own mom and family. It would be interesting to do a video on the psychology of children who grew up and learned something awful about their parents. How does this affect them?

Such a sad and frustrating case. You are a treasure, Dr. Grande.

You forgot the "Visigoth like sacking of the marital home" that Markel noted in his response to divorce papers being left in a home where Wendy cleared out the furniture. He did have a way with words.

Topic suggestion (I haven't seen it in older videos. Apologies if it is, but I missed it.): Erin Valenti She travelled from Utah to San Jose, phoned her mother to tell her that we're all trapped in the Matrix, then was found dead in her parked car. It wasn't an apparent suicide or murder. There were no drugs. It might be worth a video.

Two video suggestions: bloopers & 10 facts we don’t know about you. Thanks, Dr. Grande! :)

Mr. Bear and Mrs. Bear's using their affectionate names as a method of inducing nausea in bystanders. LOL

It sounds like an Austin Powers line: "Sorry baby, but I just find you 'un-bear-able"!

Dr grande. Please analyze Wendi adelsons testimony. It is fascinating

There is record of Wendi saying about her divorce from Dan Markel that the children are small and this was the best way for them (meaning, they won't remember a time before it). I think this plays into the psychology around the plot. One main motivation was to largely keep the kids away from Dan. Wendi and family saw him as a workaholic, religious zealot, and vicious. As well the Adelsons did not like Dan's ideologies and rules. They thought he was making Wendi suffer and was trying to take her down in court and professionally ruin her life. The other classic motivation = money. Wendi (and her family) knew about the one million dollars for each son in life insurance money. I think in a twisted sense the Adelsons thought they were giving the boys the best gift - one day to come into a million dollars each to start out their lives and also be raised by the "better half" of the family. They rationalized the boys would have so little memory of their father as they were young that it wouldn't hurt them too bad. Remember the Adelsons NEVER thought this would get back to them. That this would always be a mysterious unsolved crime and they didn't expect it would get so much national air time and attention. Charlie promised them he had it under control with his "trust me" talk. They were all wicked, held murderous rage against Dan, and were so threatened and desperate that murder sounded like the only option to get out of the mess, which they saw would have only continued as the boys grew up.

“Their bear name, fueled euphoria would not last.” Kudos on the creativity Dr.G! I so appreciate your content. Just the right amount of humor to keep me coming back for more but not so much that I forget that I’m learning.

“Bear name fueled euphoria” I adore this channel

I always felt the whole “Oh you see, I had him killed because I love my kids and want to be with them” from the ex-wife was a PR move. Surely, the kids were devastated to lose their father right?

What an excellent Saturday addition.

Another great shirt color choice on the doctor. *Dr. Grande: works nonstop putting out quality video content* *Me: ugh, he looks so good in that color*

Can't believe that a year ago, this channel only had surpassed 100,000 subscribers.

Have a good weekend Dr Grande. Thank you for your analysis of this long-standing case.

I'm so happy little big guy is back💕 Your humor is spot on.

Happy Easter 🐣

Your Sense of Humor is Everything!!!! lolololol!!

6:32 Swish from half court. I think there's a pun compilation in your future Doctor. This is definitely top ten material. I grimaced & laughed at the same time. A weird talent, but you've definitely got it.

Sounds like they both were childish and she was narcissistic🐻 Why do people think they can get away with things like this? Murderers will always rat others out to save themselves. Sad case again. Thanks again Dr G😊💕

You gotta cover this again, there is so much biased content out there, please do us justice, love your content!

Charlie Adelson has finally been arrested! I think they took him into custody at the end of April 2022. Katherine Magbanua was retried and found guilty on May 28, 2022.

Your videos are always super interesting, informative and I really get the feeling that you invest the time in doing the proper research. But man, the delivery in moments like in 5:17 truly are the cherry in top. Keep up the great work.

Happy Holy Saturday!!! I hope you will give yourself a respite, from work, to morrow!!! You deserve the rest. HAPPY EASTER, DR. GRANDE!!! 😶🐇🌷

I remember this case, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for covering this Dr Grande.

I have recently discovered this case so was thrilled that you had already analyzed it. All the players are certainly “unbearable”, yet fascinating personality studies at the same time!

The people who planned the murder thought about the weaknesses of hiring a hitman and found a solution that has worked so far. The hitman loved the middle woman and would not turn on her, and the killer did not know who ordered the hit. So to solve the problem, the State would have to come up with solid proof against the middle woman, and the State could not count on the hitman helping with that. The State's case against the hitman was much stronger, of course, then it is against Magbanua. Magbanua is and always was the shield, and she was prepared well for the role.

i like the line mr and mrs bear as method of inducing nausea

Thank you for bringing more exposure to this case. My friend @ Mentour Lawyer channel is working hard to get justice for this

He described his divorce as a “Visigoth-like sacking of the martial home” and that’s really all I remembered of this case til now lol

Thanks again for your brilliant analysis Dr. Grande!

Brillant analysis as usual. Thank you Dr Grande.

What’s best than watching a dr. Grande video and get notification for a new one ! So excited to see even though i don’t know what’s it about yet lol !

I love your humor! THANK YOU FOR THE ANALYSIS.

Dr. Grande, I have developed the habit of clicking thumbs up at the beginning of each of your videos. Given the consistent high quality, I consider it a matter of logical, rather than optimistic, thinking. 😎

Can’t wait to see your update since Charlie Adelson was arrested!

Murders in connection with custody battles seem to occur regularly. Apparently there exists a common urge to put an end to a conflict which is seen to go on eternally and which consumes a lot of money as well as an exhausting amount of emotional energy. For some that's reason enough to leave the path of rationality. This horrific case is particularly interesting because it involves different social groups that, as I assume, do not mix easily. On the one side there is an ambitious upper middle class environment, on the other side you have rather disadvantaged people, some of them heavily and habitually involved in crime. The flashy paradontist prides himself to bridge the gulf between the groups by having a series of girlfriends to whom he seems to make clear that he will never accept them as equals. It's a very strange brew, and the unsuspecting professor became the victim of it.

Dr. Grande, I'm really bummed. My husband refuses to call me Mrs. Bear. These cases are always sad, but this one was extremely convoluted as well. You broke it down nicely. Also, I agree. It was about revenge. If she really loved her children, she wouldn't have taken away their father. You're on a roll w with the interesting content, Dr. Grande. 😍

Dr Grande knows a nauseating 🤢pet name when he hears one.Thank you for calling that out😬

Now I know he's trying to send us messages through his plant arrangement. You just need to "connect the dots"...

Two boys will now live their lives without a loving, caring father. That’s a tragedy.

Dr. Todd I fully agree with all your logical analysis. When I first read about this case, and about the possible motive, it’s like, the simple problem was given a super duper complex solution.

Dr Grande made me crack up a couple of times without even losing a straight face. :)

Dr. Grande you are spoiling us with these daily videos. When the day comes there is no video, we will be really bummed!

It would appear that Wendy has in fact, beaten the system, the investigating detectives anyway.

Thanks Dr grande. I watch a lot of your videos for the good clear info

"Maybe she found him un'bear'able". Dr. Grande you have a great sense of humor sir. Thank you

New graphics, improved lighting, another great video. Awesome channel.

I watched the entire murder trial of Garcia and Rivera and Katherine Magbanua. It was a fascinating trial. The ironic part is the prosecutor spent more than half there opening and closing statements making the case that the Adelson family-father, mother, son, and daughter-were ultimately behind the murder - but none of the Adelsons were charged in the case at the time.

Happy Easter 🐣 Dr Grande!

Thank you for going over this case. I always appreciate your thoughts and opinions. 🐻

First time watching. Excellent. Subscribed from sunny London.

Mr. & Mrs. Bear- that’s a truly nauseating way to refer to each another. I have always been wary of “ideal couples”....🤔 Dr. Grande, I wish you and your family a Happy Easter!🐣 ✨❤️ Who knows, you might even take the day off tomorrow.😉

Guessing who paid for her legal team insured her conviction in having her lawyers talk her out of accepting a deal. This offered complicated protection for them while assuring the “defense” team would make the most billing hours in a lengthy trial as reward for their efforts. Kawass -want to hear my own voice, wasn’t privy to this information and did her shameful, arrogant “best”, using the term loosely. Her theatrical arrogance worked well to shift focus as a double down smoke n mirrors type of bonus. Additionally, her legal team didn’t prepare Katie for taking the stand leaving her exposed and disliked by jurors with the “if you say so and I don’t remembers.” The mistrial had little to do with her defense team. One juror could not grasp legal concepts, while the other failed to understand validity of technical evidence. It was 10-2 in favor of guilty. The bankroll for her defense team is key. I’m confident concealment of this fact is airtight. Yet, KM could expose the recommendation in her proffer. Finally, Charlie has been arrested. Georgia is an excellent prosecutor. Let’s hope her patience to indite each Adelson follows in subsequent evidence stemming this virtue.

Oscar is back! I have a problem with folks confessing & getting a lesser sentence! Sometimes those couples that are "perfect" (not to mention those dumb nicknames) are not what they appear to be. As I always say "if it looks too good to be true than it probably is" :)

I never hit that notification so fast! Excited to watch

Moral of the story !.......'NEVER EVER HIRE A HITMAN"..................Save money and do the job yourself.

As always and constant, excellent.

"Unbearable" LMAO!!! I love Dr. Grande's dry and sarcastic humor!

U need to do a updated version Dr Grande

Excellent. Congrats!

You got me with unbearable,lol. I see our friend is back on set,and maybe a new one. I do like the setup today. Thank you for the video 🐻🌴🌸🌳🌷🏵 Have a very Happy Easter 🥚🐣🐇🐥🥚🐰

Whoa, nice background Dr. G!! I love it!

“i suppose this was a method of inducing nausea in bystanders” 💀💀💀

I like your new channel picture, Dr. Grande.

I love your shirt! It looks so soft and it's such a nice colour :)

This one was hard to bear.

I really like the new graphical touches 👍

I think you're exactly right. It was revenge oriented, especially by Donna who could not stand the thought he'd made a motion for her to have supervised visits after bad mouthing him to his boys. That's what tipped her over the edge and they all got sloppy. She's someone who's clearly used to getting her way and will go to whatever lengths she can to get it. Wonder how that skill will translate for her in prison.

Wendy got to eliminate all the hassle of co-parenting and she got millions of dollars from insurance, ssi payments, proceeds from the house, etc.
