Summary
In the afternoon session, numbers took center stage as forensic accountant Mary Hull delivered detailed financial testimony in the Trial of Donna Adelson. Hull broke down financial patterns tied to convicted hitmen Luis Rivera and Sigfredo Garcia, while also analyzing transactions linked to Katherine Magbanua. Her findings showed unusual spending behavior and suspicious money flows that prosecutors argue were part of the conspiracy’s financial web.
Hull’s testimony was powerful because, unlike memory or hearsay, numbers leave a paper trail. She explained how the Adelson family’s money may have been used not just for lifestyle support, but as leverage—quietly funding and binding co-conspirators to keep the plot intact.
For the jurors, Hull’s testimony reminded them that emotional outbursts and family drama make headlines, but money makes cases. If her numbers align with call records, surveillance, and personal testimony, the prosecution’s case may be bolstered beyond reasonable doubt. Hull’s charts, spreadsheets, and meticulous financial tracking might have been some of the most compelling evidence presented yet.
