Closing arguments in the #DanMarkel murder case will begin tomorrow morning with jury deliberations to follow. A few wrap-up comments on today's proceedings (short thread for those interested).
1/ In a surprise (to me at least), #KatieMagbanua took the stand in her own defense. Overall, she presented as more credible and composed than I would have guessed--particularly after hearing her on the wiretaps. That said . . .
2/ Despite her appearing credible, #KatieMagbanua did not sufficiently explain how #SigfredoGarcia became connected to #CharlieAdelson. If not through her, it would be (more than) an incredible coincidence.
The state presented significant wiretap evidence today in the #DanMarkel murder trial that I found clearly organized and easy to follow. A few highlights (short thread).
1/ An undercover agent approached #DonnaAdelson posing as #LuisRivera’s brother and claimed that she needed to take care of the brother the way she had taken care of defendants #KatieMagbanua and #SigfredoGarcia. The agent left Donna with a phone number.
2/ #DonnaAdelson relayed the details of that interaction to #CharlieAdelson who, in the quote of the day, said, “Why wouldn't the person come find me and talk to me? Why go to my mom?"
For those interested, a few more detailed updates in from the state's evidence in the #DanMarkel murder trial today (short thread).
2/ There were six calls between defendants #SigfredoGarcia and #KatherineMagbanua on the day of #Markel’s death. Cell records for #LuisRivera show his trip with Garcia from Miami to Tallahassee in June of 2014.
