    I’m embarrassed for him. Wow I’m glad he believes his own lies. He makes me sick just sick.
  • @CGriffinGo
    The Court gallery was practically empty by the end of Charlie's testimony today. Not many could sit through an entire day of his complete and utter lies ... he's burying himself.
  • Why the heck wouldn’t he go to police if his story was true??? Makes 0 sense imo
  • @swyllie30
    I’m not watching Charlie testify until the prosecutor cross-exams. I can’t stomach the lies.

    The wild thing is I think the Adelson’s don’t know how sick they all are. The Adelson Institute has a whole new meaning. The son that seemed to have gotten out did against all odds apparently. If Wendi managed to stay in the same town as the children and away from the family she would have been better off . Praying every last one of them gets prosecuted.
  • @staceyburns7666
    I watched a lot of the testimony today and it was cringey. He made no sense at all. Justice for DanMarkel!
  • @ylekiote99999
    All these years hitmen have been doing it all wrong. First you make the hit without being asked, then you ask for money🤣
  • @Darin.Pearson
    I am absolutely chilled by how easily and convincingly Wendi and Charlie lie. It scares me how vulnerable I would be if our paths crossed.
  • @maryhirsch863
    I don’t even think Charlie Adelson believes what he’s saying🤣🤣🤣
  • @NancyDrew1
    I listened to 8 hours of lies today. Over it! Tomorrow Georgia is going to hammer him! Can’t wait. Great guest tonight. ❤️
  • @christyd1144
    He is so proud that he figured out it was an undercover agent. Only a narcissist would think he was clever in this regard. Most would be horrified that an agent would be following and recording them …ridiculous
  • @harleyd9857
    I was at the trial and Charlie’s testimony was mind numbing. After lunch about 1/3, then 2/3 of the gallery left…horrible
  • @michellep5387
    Hope the jury sees through his BS as clearly as we ALL do.
  • @eternity7477
    The fact that he has this word-for-word memory of what was said and done 10 years ago...just no. The fact that they offered Dan 1 million to allow relocation, shows the lengths they were prepared to go to to achieve this goal. The fact that neither Charlie nor his mother would speak freely on the phone about these issues, shows their guilt. The fact that they didn't immediately go to the police and reported the murder and extortion...just no. The fact that the blackmailer agreed to a measly payment plan, knowing about all their money...just no. The fact that the killers drove all the way to Tallahassee to kill someone to extort Charlie...for what? If they wanted money, they could have just threatened him outright. No need to kill anyone to achieve that goal.
  • @user-vr6io5xb9e
    I can’t believe he tells such nonsense story with straight face. I mean, yes they’re desperate to make up something to save his arse but don’t they realize that his story doesn’t make sense at all😂
  • @annmcclure8378
    I am both disgusted and embarrassed for CA's attorney. This defense is so ridiculous, and hurtful to the Markels, who have already suffered so much. I am praying for a conviction, or, if jury is hung, a retrial. The Adelson family should have no peace, in this life, or the next. And don't forget, he's being paid a bundle, for this show. He's not court appointed, like most people are forced to settle for.
