With KM’s proffer Charlie’s defense definitely will need to regroup big time. KM talking is MAJOR bad news for Charlie — to state the obvious. This changes everything! A speedy trial has no benefit to Charlie at this point. His only option is to plea but I imagine state will want him to give up his family and I don’t see that happening.
Without him giving up anyone else, I actually think (assuming KM’s proffer will result in more Adelson’s being indicted, fingers crossed) it’s better for state to go to trial with all Adelson’s together. You plea Charlie out without him giving up other members of the family, you take out an important link in the chain. Having all the Adelson’s tried together is the perfect scenario. You get the optics of the poor brown folks who did the crime vs the rich white folks who ordered it. I would love for Donna to sit at defense table while LR testifies! Sweet sweet Justice! Trying them together makes the conspiracy more poignant. And the picture becomes clearer for the jury.
ALL of this!
