Love this theory. Creative and plausible. It works as long as there are no texts, WhatsApp messages, etc. in the State’s possession that implicate Charlie in the hiring of SG and LR. And THAT is the question that has been vexing me for weeks… Are those communications retrievable?
To clarify, I obviously don’t “love” the thought of the Adelsons creating a sham scenario to get Charlie out of this mess. It’s clever thinking on Blueshakehead’s part, is what I meant.
"She doesn't know how lucky she is."
Perplexed that neither Charlie's lawyer nor his co-counsel, Kathryn Meyers, specialize in state criminal defense (Kathryn Meyers – MNR Law Firm). His lawyer was a federal prosecutor dealing with financial crime which is a totally different ballgame than the criminal defense of a violent crime at the state level. Moreover, Charlie's lawyer is pushing to go to trial in what seems a highly expedited time frame. Why? Is it because Katie might sing when she looses her appeal and if they push to trial now Katie will still be in the appeal process? This seems unlikely given there is virtually zero likelihood of a reversal on appeal and I am sure Katie knows that from her jailhouse friends and her lawyer . . . . Tara Kawass said as much in her extemporaneous interview after her sentencing (in which she did not once profess her client's innocence or claim the sentence to be a miscarriage of justice but rather seemed to concede that justice had been partially served by a very attentive jury but that there was still other culpable parties to indict).
Exactly my impression too. That best friend knew. I think it's another one too where a fellow dentist friend calls also concerned and Charlie warns him to not say anything he wouldn't want the FBI to hear.

Wow, I missed that that trial had concluded. Thanks for the heads up.

Wow. This is just crazy to me. A man was murdered in cold blood! And what reasonable person couldn’t see that the Adelson’s are behind that murder?!Have the old friends and acquaintances stuck by all the big A' s in the case?
Peter SchorschApril 25, 2022Motives, codewords, wiretaps, and persistence: Backstory of Charlie Adelson’s arrest
What’s to come in the Dan Markel murder case?
''Other evidence submitted to the courts suggests a history of conflict and anti-social behavior. One witness, interviewed after the murder, places Charlie at the center of blackmail attempts and questionable business dealings. Another such story alleged that Charlie had cheated in dental school, and had to turn to powerful family connections to avoid consequences.
One particular family connection — the former chief judge of Broward County and longtime State Senator — is Wendi’s godfather, Peter Weinstein. And his son, Michael Weinstein, was not only Charlie’s lifelong friend but also his lawyer at the time of the murder, providing advice to Charlie following the bump and defending the family on local and national television shows.
Those details may not have come into public attention so soon were it not for Michael Weinstein entering the race for Florida House District 81 in 2020, leading case followers including the organization Justice for Dan to question what, role, if any, Peter and Michael had played in protecting the Adelson family after Dan’s murder.
Charlie and Wendi have other powerful connections, too, no doubt. At the time of the bump, Wendi was working as a clerk in a federal court. Charlie and Donna discuss this on a wiretap, revealing that Wendi’s judge was getting information from a Tallahassee judge to share with her about the case. Other current and former state legislators, local judges, and political advocates are in Adelson circles, too.
Just two months ago, Wendi was seen in a video with her current employer, Jason Feldman of Vault Health, and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez. She has received public support from her former employer, Miami billionaire Mike Fernandez, and has been seen mingling with billionaire Mike Bloomberg.''

Gordon, I too would like a link. I don't disbelieve the story - I just want to see how fully CA implicates himself and if he mentions the possibility of wire taps. The friend's name may well be Ob__d . He was on a witness list for a KM trial but was never called.
