Charlie Adelson, 47, was convicted\u2063 of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, and solicitation of first-degree murder. The verdict was \u200creached after just three hours of \u2062jury deliberation, leaving Adelson stunned\u200c and speechless.<\/p>\n<p>The motive behind the crime was a bitter custody dispute between Adelson&#8217;s sister, Wendi, and \u200dher \u2063ex-husband, \u2062Dan Markel, a prominent Florida State law professor. Wendi wanted to relocate with their children to Miami, but Markel refused to\u200d give his \u200bconsent.\u2063 In a twisted turn of events, Adelson \u2062resorted to hiring hitmen to eliminate Markel.<\/p>\n<p>The murder\u2064 took place on July 18, 2014, \u2062when\u200b Markel was shot twice\u2064 in the head as he pulled into his garage. Despite being rushed to the hospital, he tragically succumbed to his injuries 14 hours later.<\/p>\n<p>Years later, the truth behind the murder plot came to light. Adelson and\u200c his mother, Donna, had devised a scheme involving Katherine Magbanua, who acted as an intermediary to hire two men, Sigfredo Garcia and\u2062 Luis Rivera, as the hitmen. The rental car used by Garcia and Rivera was tracked across Florida, with bus cameras capturing its presence near Markel&#8217;s home at the time of the \u200cmurder.<\/p>\n<p>Rivera pleaded guilty in 2016 and received a 19-year prison sentence, while Garcia was found guilty in 2019 and sentenced to life in prison plus an additional 30 years. Magbanua, who was also found guilty, is currently appealing her conviction after her first trial ended in a \u2063hung jury.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout \u2063the trial, Adelson \u2062vehemently denied any involvement in the murder plot.\u2064 He claimed that Magbanua had acted independently and extorted him, attempting to explain the $100,000 payment made to her.<\/p>\n<p>This shocking case serves as a reminder of\u200b the lengths some \u2063individuals\u2063 will go to in order to gain an advantage in custody \u2063battles. The verdict brings \u200da sense of justice\u2062 for the victim and his family, while also highlighting the importance of \u200dthorough investigations and the pursuit\u2063 of truth in \u2063criminal cases.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1699556404968000&#038;usg=AOvVaw04jxEi4iu5PH8IboyFbBUc\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u2063 What impact\u2062 did the revelation\u200b of Adelson&#8217;s sister&#8217;s cooperation with the prosecution have \u200don the Adelson \u2063family and the trial<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u2064 Law professor at Florida State University.
