Welcome back. It's time for a case brief, keeping you in the loop with the cases you care about most.

Just more briefly. If you want the full coverage, it's linked in the description below.

But for now, let's get into it.

It's trial day five.

In these five days of evidence of Florida versus Donna Edelson, so much has happened.

The prosecution is going to be starting

to get to the end of their case. And what I expect that we're going to see today is all the rest

of the video, the audio, except for maybe that recorded jail call after Charlie's convicted.

So I think we're going through a lot of video today. That's just based on what

the prosecution said yesterday that this witness will be on the stand the rest of the day. And that's

what I expect. When I went through the probable cause affidavit with all of you, and 24 pages is an

extensive PCA, and they had some of the wiretap information there. It didn't read to me the same way it does in full

context. Because reading it, I was like, is Donna trying to pick up on what Charlie's putting down

or what's going on? And then going through the whole thing, those calls after bum bum, who's in

charge of that conversation? It's not Charlie, in my opinion. I think those calls

are critical for the jury. Remember, Donna Edelson's being charged with murder, conspiracy to commit

murder and solicitation of murder. Did she conspire with anyone who was part of the conspiracy

to commit this murder? And were there overt acts? Bring in the money

is an overt act. Trying to cover it up is an overt act. It's going to be interesting to see how

the prosecution argues this at the end, but we still have a defense case in chief. And remember,

during pretrial motions, they said Donna was going to testify. What are you going to say about those

calls, Donna? I can't imagine it's not surreal for her sitting in the defendant's chair listening to her son just not picking up what she's going down. I wonder if she's listened to those. Or if her lawyers are like, you were talking in code, this is what Charlie said. Or if her lawyers are like, don't worry about it. Charlie already went to jail. They're not going to convict you. Donna needed to stop to use the restroom and drive slow and get snacks. That's what her attorney argued. We will see. So for all of you that are new to the Launard app, thank you. You guys have been getting your notifications. You've been loving the case briefs if you can't make all day of trial.
