An acquaintance of mine; who made me notice this sad story; has a point of view along the following lines. My point of view is different.
May be some of us have not realized, but this is going to be a difficult fight for the TPD, the Tallahassee Mayor, the State of Florida, and the FBI. It may appear none sense but the governments are facing law savvy and powerful people. From the start, some unusual law savvy maneuvers are involved.
Just, review the following public domain examples. It would be too long to provide the references but if you partially google each statement, you will be taken to the original source with much details:
1.“Since Garcia's arrest, the document has been sealed because of the ongoing nature of the investigation. However, the affidavit, which provided never-before-seen details of the 2014 shooting, was released minutes before Garcia made his first appearance in a Leon County courtroom on Thursday.”
2.“The order to lift the seal was filed at 7:59 a.m. by Chief Circuit Judge Jonathan Sjostrom. Garcia appeared before a judge 36 minutes later. The order gave no details as to why the document was unsealed.”
3.“TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) - In an email sent to the Tallahassee Mayor and City Commissioners, City Manager Rick Fernandez said the unsealing and release of documents in the Dan Markel investigation is "highly unusual."
4.“Tallahassee Police didn’t want details of their case against a Miami man arrested in Dan Markel’s killing to be made public for fear other suspects in the murder-for-hire scheme might flee the U.S., court documents show.”
5.“Suspected co-defendants have the financial means to flee the country and to not return, and in fact, have already been discovered talking about leaving,” TPD’s legal counsel Theresa Flury wrote in a May 26 motion that successfully sought to have Sigfredo Garcia’s arresting documents sealed.
6.“Chief DeLeo did say more arrests are likely. He declined to comment on the Adelsons, except to say with a smirk, when asked if he knew their whereabouts, “We aren’t on speaking terms.”
7.“Based on the above information, this investigator belives there is sufficient evidence to prove Charles Adelson, Katherine Magbanua, Sigfredo Garcia, and Luis Rivera are responsible for the murder of Daniel Markel.”
8.“Adelson Family Will Not Be Charged In Dan Markel's Murder Despite Circumstantial Evidence Released By Police (Including $1 Million Offer To Allow Children To Move To Miami, Communication And Money Trail To Hit Men)”
9.Tallahassee Democrat, Tensions Flare in Markel Case After Unexpected Document Drop:
After two years of investigation into the murder-for-hire plot of Dan Markel, prosecutors are unlikely to approve the arrest of his former in-laws.
10.Police chipped away at leads, drafting arrest affidavits filled with evidence laying out investigators’ case against Charlie and Donna Adelson, the brother and mother of Markel’s ex-wife Wendi Adelson.”
The same scenario may happen again. May be, some unusual law savvy maneuvers are involved behind the scene on behalf of Katherine Magbanua. It is still a possibility that one day, Katherine Magbanua wil be just let off-the-hook. It is sad that people with no more than $100,000 plus few used cars interests in a killing are behind bars while those who may have actually benefited from it beyond monetary value, such as blood value (I know some will not comprehend what I mean but I want not elaborate), will never be prosecuted.
