"Delays and Undercover Testimony Unveil Intricate Web of Evidence in Adelson Murder Trial"
The murder for hire trial of Charlie Adelson in Tallahassee, Florida, experienced delays and warnings from the judge due to courtroom distractions. Testimony regarding phone records lasted over four hours, with interruptions occurring when a juror requested to speak with a bailiff and when a phone rang. The judge admonished individuals in the gallery to refrain from distracting the jurors, and threatened to remove anyone causing further disruptions. Defense attorneys questioned the relevance of the evidence presented, while the controversial undercover FBI recording of Charlie Adelson and Katherine Magbanua meeting at a restaurant is expected to be shown to the jurors.
