Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Charlie Adelson's Appelate Hearing After Being Convicted of Murder for Dan Markel
Q: Did the defense preserve the change-of-venue issue according to Armstrong and Manning standards?
The state argues that Armstrong requires renewal of the objection at the end of jury selection, while the defense cites Manning and Smith to argue for fundamental-error review when preservation failed, noting recent Florida Supreme Court guidance.
Charlie Adelson's Appelate Hearing After Being Convicted of Murder for Dan Markel
Q: What is the dominant issue with the jury selection in Adelson's case?
The dominant issue is whether pervasive media coverage in Tallahassee tainted the jury pool and whether the defense properly preserved the change-of-venue challenge during jury selection, including whether renewal was required at the end of voir dire.
Former Juror Breaks Silence on Katie Magbanua Trial: New Insight Into Adelson Murder-for-Hire Saga
Q: Why did you think Magbanua testified and how did that affect your view of the case?
Will explains that Magbanua's testimony was a significant factor, but ultimately the jury weighed all evidence and found her testimony insufficient to create reasonable doubt, especially in light of circumstantial evidence and the money trail. He notes the defense's decision to put Magbanua on the stand as a risky move.
Charlie Adelson: Everything We Know About Charlie, The Appeal & The People Who Will Decide His Fate
Q: How do you allocate the 20 minutes in an appellate argument and what should be prioritized?
The counsel should focus most of the time on the strongest issue (likely the venire/venue question) and reserve a small portion to address opposing points, while being ready to respond to judge-led questions and weave in essential authorities from the briefs.
Donna Adelson’s First Holiday in Prison: Former Inmates Reveal the Truth & Realities Behind Bars
Q: What advice would you give Drina about turning her life around?
Debra emphasizes the need for a strong, safe support network, sobriety-focused environments, and stepping away from harmful relationships while leveraging community resources and sponsorship opportunities.
