Hello everyone and welcome to police off the cuff, real crime stories.

I'm your host, retired NYPD sergeant Bill Cannon, a 27-year veteran of the NYPD.

We haven't covered this case before, but the arrest in the trial last week of Charlie

Adelson, actually a periodontas oral surgeon who was convicted of murder in the first degree

after a trial, but this is one of the most convoluted cases.

And basically, what this is one of the most convoluted cases. And basically what it is about is his sister, Wendy Adelson,

who was in a contentious divorce with her ex-husband, Daniel Markle.

And it's almost like you need a scorecard for this case, and I'll put it up on the screen.

This is the scorecard you can see.

Dan Markell married to Wendy Adelson.

Underneath is Harvey Adelson and his wife, Donna Adelson.

Harvey Adelson is a wealthy oral surgeon. And there's his son, Charlie Adelson and his wife, Donna Adelson. Harvey Adelson is a wealthy oral surgeon.

And there's his son, Charlie Adelson, who is also an oral surgeon, who now is a convicted

murderer of murder first degree.

And next to him is Catherine Maguana and her ex-husband, Siegfriedo Garcia, and above him a man named

Louis Rivera. For some reason, this family thought it would be easier to plot to kill their

daughter's ex-husband than it would be to fight it in court kill their daughter's ex-husband,

then it would be to fight it in court with a divorce attorney.

And they must have thought, instead of being the Edelson's,

they were the Sopranos.

And for very smart people, they were pretty damn stupid in this case.

And we're going to go through all the stupid things they did.
