YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Katherine Magbanua faces trial a second time. In 2019, a jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict in the 2014 shooting death of FSU professor Dan Markel. Magbanua was on trial with Sigfredo Garcia, the father of her children. Garcia was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.

Prosecutors argued at trial that Magbanua was an intermediary in a plot to end the victim’s life. She got Garcia to do it, who in return recruited Luis Rivera for backup, investigators said. Markel was murdered in his garage.

The victim went through an ugly divorce with his ex-wife Wendi Adelson. Police have previously suggested that Adelson’s brother and even their mother might have masterminded it. This brother, Charlie Adelson, used to date Magbanua, according to testimony and evidence at trial.

In April 2022, Charlie Adelson was indicted in the murder-for-hire plot.
