Charlie Adelson's Defense Lasted Exactly Three Hours

Charlie Adelson's defense at trial was that he was being extorted. A periodontist pulling in over three million a year told a jury he was so terrified of two hitmen that he set up a three-thousand-dollar monthly payment plan through his family's dental office. His mother signed the checks. She washed the cash. His girlfriend collected the money and delivered it to the killers.Prosecutor Georgia Cappleman asked one question: "Do extortionists send a girlfriend of the victim to get the money?" The jury deliberated for three hours and convicted him on all counts — first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation. Charlie mouthed the word "No" and put his head on the defense table.This second installment of the four-part Adelson series covers the path from the hitmen's convictions through Magbanua's flip to Charlie's trial and the three-hour verdict that ended a millionaire's freedom. His appeal was affirmed in July 2026 after his attorney failed to file a required written motion — the procedural equivalent of a dentist leaving an instrument inside a patient.
