Twist in The Dan Markel Murder Case: Psychologist Reveals What’s Inside the Minds of the Adelsons

We had really big breaking news in Dan Markel’s murder case.

Katherine Magbanua, who is currently serving a life sentence after being convicted in May for her role as an intermediary between the hitman and Charlie Adelson, wants to speak to state prosecutors.

She wants to offer some kind of information that may help her appeal and help prosecutors make some headway in this case, and bring more people involved in the murder to justice.

Speculation is rife as to what she wants to say, which without a doubt puts a lot of anxiety on Adelson’s family.

Charlie Adelson and the rest of the family have denied any involvement with the murder, but this new development raises a lot of questions.

Joining us today to help us analyze Adelson’s family dynamic is Dr. Linda Papadopoulos. She is a world-renowned British psychologist, originally from Toronto, Canada, which is incidentally the location of our other big case.
