A Florida dentist on trial in his ex-brother-n-law’s slaying says he never explained to authorities that he was a victim of extortion rather than the mastermind behind a 2014 murder-for-hire plot because no one asked him to reveal the truth
A Florida dentist on trial in his ex-brother-in-law's slaying testified Friday that he never explained to authorities that he was a victim of extortion — and not the mastermind behind a 2014 murder-for-hire plot — because no one asked him to reveal the truth. Prosecutors contend Charles Adelson paid to have Dan Markel killed after Adelson's sister, Wendi, lost a bitter custody battle.
The extortion never went up. She was protecting me,” Adelson said. Prosecutors contend that Adelson paid to have the professor killed and that Magbanua hired Sigfredo Garcia, the father of her two children, to commit the murder and that Garcia enlisted the help of his childhood friend, Luis Rivera. Magbanua and Garcia were convicted of first-degree murder and Rivera is serving a 19-year sentence after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in exchange for testifying against Garcia and Magbanua.
