I agree with you @brookepageguitar.

He has a stable job (assistant foreman in the coastal masonry) while being a Latin King leader in North Miami tribe. He already got a lot of time in his hands.

I feel the same.

Hopefully he learns to read and write while he is prison.

​@@chloesmom412n gets a high school diploma

Amen!!

Absolutely correcti-all of the Adelsons are worse than him, except for the other brother John.

@@marcomiranda9476 you mean Robert Adelson?

Latin KINGS really should get Donna in their tribe!

Sarah Robinson he is not lying. All those 3 women is Wendy.

Starstruck 15 I know he’s not lying. It’s obvious he was referring to Wendi all 3 times. I was saying the attorney is ridiculous.

Lol

What a waste of bs by the woman lawyer. Repetive nonsense, addelsons are murderese and scumbags, the dentist should get the needle while holding his mother and sisters hands! The only one on drugs is the. Lawyer and addelson!

She's splitting hairs - so annoying!

H isso far the best one to rely on what he reveils it all makes sense. that will save him many years of freedom,

I agree. I actually think that’s how Katie knew Dan was murdered. The part where he said Sigfredo called to tell Katie it was done and he heard her say “I know” Wendi drove by and saw the ambulance and cops there so she probably told her brother and then he let Katie know.

​@@keriissovery9566good point!!!

I agree he is truthful.

@@keriissovery9566 It looks that way.

I love this guy.

@@itswhatyoumakeit6950 poor guy never had a chance since he was born. No one raised this kid or taught him to be something other then in a gang.

Lol. He's not sure. 🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣

I wish this guy would of jumped out of that car when his punk friend said we r going 2 go kill someone.

It's what You make it ... you are so correct...

A truthful murderer. A career criminal. You do realize he got a deal for testifying.

@@rozanne799 The prosecutors welcomed his testimony up to Charlie's trial (and possibly Donna's trial) even if he's a career criminal. Not even Sigfredo or Katie can't do this

@batangaseaaa You cannot trust any of these murderers. They have self preservation as their main goal

@@rozanne799 He was charged with the death penalty. The only solution for him to escape that charge is FLIPPING which is taking a plea. Self preservation is always there when it comes to plea deal. Even Katie is wanting a deal for her sentence after her conviction. The prosecutors have a job to find EVERYONE accountable in this murder so Rivera's testimony is relevant for the conviction of the above (Katie, Charlie and probably Donna). Murder for hire cases are difficult to prove without someone taking a plea especially with many players involved (Wendi, Harvey, Donna, Charlie, Katie, Sigfredo, Luis)

@@batangaseaaaSometimes they have to make a deal with horrible people to get the mastermind. Not ideal but they have no other way to get that info to the jury. It’s too bad he didn’t develop a conscious before committing the crime!

@@pavanatanaya Thanks for clearing this up; until your answer, I had not slightest idea import of question.

You would think this lawyer of Charlie's would have that answer since he's rubbing his nose and talking 75 miles a minute in every trial hearing. I was so excited when his lawyer lost his case.. Aww. 🤢

I was thinking the same thing. I like him.

Same here, sad.

Wtf????

he loves that lifestyle. all those criminals do. do u think they hate prison. give me a break. prison is one big party for all these loosers and they have no responsibilities. they love prison.

That's no excuse...its purely devil and money hungry

I saw him in the Williams trial - great judge!!

Great judge. Super shakey voice though? Does he have parkinsons?

@@mariahrfordays1988 I was going to say he sounds pretty, pretty old, time to hang it up your honor LOL no offense to him God bless his heart

He has some form of dysphonia (someone else said). I forget what form. No Parkinson’s.

​@@mariahrfordays1988 No. I believe he had a brain condition. See obit. 😊. Judge Hankenson was also very no nonsense, a quality that earned him a great deal of respect and admiration. I miss him. 😢

@@nearlythenewswithvicki9289 did ya find it? It's at 40 minutes I believe.

I agree 100%

I totally agree. I've heard him say he was born into the gang. This case is full of tragedies.

I wonder how Dan would feel reading this. sick.

Sigfredo Garcia story is horrible too. Those men grew up in a weird environment, they were set to fail.

I think that is the kind of people Dan would try to help because of the sad life he was born in to. Not saying he would approve of the crime.But he would want to get the ones that took advantage of the weakest mindset. ❤

This guy will never be a productive citizen. He is a piece of crap and if and when he gets out he will go right back to his lifestyle, it’s the only one he knows.

He had a great job….I don’t get it. Risk his life , his kid, his job….

A career leader of a deadly gang. No regard for human life except for his own and his children. No hope for him!

At no time during following Mr Markel to drop his kids off did he say to Garcia lets call this off. Luis had plenty of time to do this but did not.

@@WhoisMentorGhost I think he said they had taken cocain do they were heavily under the influence..I’m pretty sure that’s y he could not make that decision to reconsider his actions..

Do you have the link?

Ik I have a headache...

I've read on other comments in one of these videos that said Katie's attorney's are being paid for by "the Dentist". Idk if its true but I wouldn't be surprised at all.

She needs to stop her trying to dis credit him & sit down.

She is incompetent and trying to sound relevant by asking inane questions.

I can't handle her either-Tara Kawass

Happy Tappy He is a criminal. He admitted that he knew that they are going to kill someone. He is not a saint. He is only cooperating for lesser sentence because he doesn’t want a death penalty.

I can find NO appreciation in ANYONE who is willing to assist another person in such a horrendous crime.

Criminals will eat each other like..........RATS

Somewhat honest at best. The thing is he's lied so much at different times that he's confusing himself about what to be truthful about as far as the small details go... but I believe he's being truthful about The Adelsons funding the job.

Honest? Dude he lied left and right in every deposition lol

YES!!

No, Garcia was not a "Latin King"; neither was Kathie. Both plotted the whole thing, and enlisted "Latin King" leader, Rivera, to do the "thing", but Garcia ended up doing it.

Gentle Spirit yeah and notice how different they were with Wendy. Money talks...disgusting

Gentle Spirit I am choosing my life and I clearly understand what is right and wrong.

He chose his own way of life. Nobody and nothing chose it for him.

Who cares??? He took an innocent life... he has no right to fear his life lol wtf

Sonia Fields Did He do the shooting?

With a check, money order or cash? Was her next question, I bet.😂😂

Maybe he should have thought about that when he acted to kill a father of 2 little boys..

Don’t feel sorry for this dirtbag.

Too funny!! All that education and no one taught her this simple word!! Especially when she's going to be AXING a lot of questions in her career...And her pronunciation of "remembo" cracks me up!!

It's a trial. It's not about finding out anything. That's not how any of this works.

He is a man that could have contributed to society .going to Harvard...they just didn't take any man...a man that is well educated, a father ..you just don't do that 😕 that include everyone the masterminds too...could have married somebody else and have more children...deal with him kindly...divorces happen everyday...why commit two sins???

Yea...although if the plea had not happened, more than likely KM would still be sucking money off Charlie, Charlie would still be boating with new girlfriends, and Wendi, Donna, and Harvey would still be living large without diarrhea.

Im late. "His" family is everything.

Exactly. He gets credit in these comments for testifying (to save his skin) and for the misfortune of being born to a life of crime. OK, but spare us the sentimental hypocrisy about the sanctity of kids and family.

@@finosuilleabhain7781I agree, those eyes have seen “a lot” and his hands well!!! This is one he got pinched for but I’m sure with his frankly frightening non emotion accept when he mentioned his kids, can’t believe during all that chaos and crime he manages to work a “normal” job or see’s any of his 5 babies, it is sad but imo feel sorry for the baby mammas and children left to fend for themselves while all these slain men/woman are gone or the other parent is living in jail

Money talks... 🤷🏻‍♀️ or incompetent investigators 🤷🏻‍♀️ or incompetent prosecutorial staff... honestly, when the opening statements were done, I was completely turned off and disengaged from this case; because the magnitude of details that were provided without any visual aid to afford anyone the means to keep up with all the alleged connections made it turn into a Charlie Brown teacher talk- you know Whot whot whot ... even the reporters for this trial commented on the difficulty in keeping up with the facts... they are all over the place with this case... I feel like some of the details should have been preserved for the sentencing phase... and what’s wild, is if “they” actually want to charge the Adelson’s they are literally giving away EVERYTHING they have on the case... which is ignorant as is, but even more so, when considering that Wendi is an attorney herself, and clearly knows how to evade answering questions with anything definitive... (on the real, she essentially demonstrated the way to answer questions without actually answering questions); this is significant, because it makes nearly everything she said speculation, and the ONLY things that can be used against her or them, are the things that the prosecutors have physical evidence of. That combined with Wendi’s ability to coach whomever with testimony (keep in mind she TEACHES law, which entails all the dynamics of every element) Which equates to what- no case, no accountability, and basically the “perfect” murder... Lastly, I feel this case is being presented so poorly, that it simply sounds speculative. Aside from Luis’ confession, they have nothing. Because you’ve got to have motive and a body. They’ve got the body... but without a connection to Luis, there’s no case... it clearly wasn’t a vengeance thing on Luis’ part and definitely wasn’t a gang assassination 🙄 and the way they are going against Luis’ credibility, they are going to lose the ONLY person who is admitting fault 😂 funny but not funny. We all know what happened... but good luck holding the right people accountable...

I could never be a defense attorney...you come out looking like a clown defending guilty people...🤡

I don't know why but i want wendi in jail more than i want him in jail...its probably ridiculous sounding but i guess it can be because wendi in my opinion masterminded this whole thing and she once loved dan and had kids with him..Yes these two should be in jail but wendi just infuriates me as if she knew nothing when her ex ( the proffesor) says a lot about who sbe really is and lied several times on the stand....i am so happy charlie is in jail ...his dear sweet murderer i mean mother is probably very affected but not as affected as Dan's parents and for hee role in this she should receive punishment along with everyone involved...

What the heck does that even mean???

Imagine if the officer had arrested them.

The officer that pulled them over must have some serious regret not doing field sobriety on him. Just one night in jail for them would’ve saved Dan’s life cuz he was supposed to fly to NY the next day I believe.

​@@lillyb116I think they would have done it regardless because at one time Luis and Garcia had it off their minds but Charlie kept pushing Katie and Katie kept pushing Garcia.

Shoot don’t come to Florida. I almost get killed by idiots doing over 100 in cars and motorcycles on the highway cutting people off.. makes it even more scary to hear they’re doing coke and drinking even at 9 am!

Yes but the three of them went down and I believe km and Garcia were hoping if they were to get caught or investigated then it would look like a Latin king hit

She is omg talk about cringe. She is so annoying along with her accent!!

No these people are here bc they are poor and want $$$. They didn’t care what they did or to whom. It was the carrot in front of the horse. Wendi involved her brother and he got Katie, she got the other two. What a wicked web we weave when we practice to deceive. Dan was being what every kid deserves .

I think I left out Donna, the cash drawer. I would bet Wendi complained to both of them so much they conspired together.

Like Luis, hopefully DMs boys will escape the gang they were born into.

I hope the detectives arrest her but they may need Charlie to give her up or they may have phone records to implicate her.

I was thinking ... let's ask Whitney she may know,,,. where this annoying lawyer came from for the love of Pete and all good things.

Of course you do. Attorneys are very unlikeable.

Because poor people go to prison and people with money don’t. That’s how our system works.

Wendi and her Mom are connected to politicians and governor in Florida. Plus, Wendi is pretty and rich. She’ll never be charged. Her brother has been I think but he’ll never turn on her.

@@ManahsRoom because morally bankrupt people will kill for money. It is not that they are poor it is because they would rather murder an innocent man than work for their livelihood.

If Charlie is offered a deal to get out of prison he will roll. It’s human nature. He was the catalyst for Dan being killed…it was Wendy wanting to move home. Why would anybody sit in prison for life while the person who needed the favor walks free? They all three need prison and let the bottom hanging fruit go.

@@Enoughalready20237 thats not true, they are democrats, chill and stop lying

Don't be a fool.

"Without his cooperation they might not have had much of a case." You realize these are the defense attorneys, right? The state brings the case. The defense tries to undermine the case. Are you beginning to understand?

She couldn't because he constantly said that couldn't read or write so it would always stop them from showing him any documents.

He is intelligent and smart. Just his circumstances in life were not conducive for his personal intellectual development. On the other hand, where did these defense lawyers come from? They are irritating. How is he able to tolerate their incompetency?
