Summary
June Umchinda, a former girlfriend of Charlie Adelson, took the stand in the Trial of Donna Adelson and opened a window into the Adelson family’s world behind closed doors. Her testimony centered on Charlie’s odd financial habits and his demeanor after the undercover FBI “bump” shook the family in 2016. She recalled Charlie keeping large amounts of cash at home, neatly stapled into $1,000 bundles—an unusual detail that prosecutors say lines up with testimony from others close to him.
Umchinda described how Charlie appeared rattled and anxious after law enforcement made their presence known in the family’s orbit. These observations may seem like personal reflections, but in the context of this trial, they carry weight. Prosecutors are using her testimony to establish a pattern: that the Adelsons were fully aware of the danger closing in, and that their financial dealings hinted at something beyond normal business.
Her words bring jurors closer to understanding how Charlie, and by extension Donna, operated when under pressure. If Charlie was keeping hidden cash, was it intended as an escape fund? Was it proof of payments in a criminal conspiracy? While the defense insists there are innocent explanations, Umchinda’s glimpse into Charlie’s life suggests that the Adelsons’ behavior was anything but ordinary.
