Dan Markel

Charlie Adelson and his mother Donna, and Katherine Magbanua speaking with her former boyfriend Sigfredo Garcia, were featured in the last two days Magbanua’s trial. The calls were obtained through wiretapping.

A jury is hearing testimony from the family and friends of Luis Rivera and Sigfredo Garcia. They're the men convicted of murdering FSU law professor Dan Markel in 2014. Garcia's former partner, Katherine Magbanua, is being retried this week for what prosecutors say is acting as a go-between for the hitmen and the people who hired them.

Prosecutors are hoping to use cell phone calls to draw a link between Katherine Magbanua, the Adelson family, and the shooters who killed Florida State Law Professor Dan Markel in 2014.

On the third day of Katherine Magbanua’s retrial jurors heard testimony regarding cell phone calls made in the runup to the murder of Florida State Law Professor Dan Markel.

Katherine Magbanua’s retrial resumed Thursday with testimony from Dan Markel’s ex-wife, Wendi Adelson. Magbanua is accused of being the go-between for the Adelson family and the hitmen who killed the FSU law professor.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys laid out their cases Wednesday as the retrial of Katherine Magbanua got underway. She is accused of acting as the go-between for the hitmen convicted of killing a Florida State University law professor, and the person recently arrested and charged with orchestrating it.

Jury selection begins Monday in Leon County in the retrial of Katherine Magbanua. She is the alleged connection between the hitmen who killed FSU law professor Dan Markel and the person suspected of hiring them.

Charlie Adelson was transported from Broward County to Leon County this week and made his first court appearance in Tallahassee on Tuesday morning. Due to his charges, he was not assigned a bond, but his attorney, Margot Moss, has requested an Arthur Hearing. In the hearing, the judge will determine whether or not he can be released on bond.

Charlie Adelson went before a Leon County judge this morning on three charges related to the 2014 murder of FSU law professor Dan Markel.

A major development in the long-running investigation into the 2014 murder of a prominent Florida State University law professor is being credited to an eight-year-old FBI tape.
