While lead prosecutor Cappleman prepared a probable cause affidavit against Charlie Adelson in 2016, her former boss, now-retired state attorney Willie Meggs,  concluded they didn’t have the evidence to convict him. Meggs told the Tallahassee Democrat the cops simply hadn’t collected enough evidence.

"If they believe they have probable cause, then they should go make the arrest. They don’t need me,” Meggs said. “I would say to Chief (Michael) DeLeo go make the arrest and get ready for your civil suit from whoever they have arrested without probable cause.’"

A few hours after Dan Markel was shot and killed in his car at his Tallahassee home, Wendi Adelson was called in to investigate the crime. When she was told that the shooting was intentional and needed to find out who murdered Daniel Markel, Wendi blurted out her Charlie Adelson's name.

Wendi, in her statement, said,

"[Charlie] knew that Danny always treated me badly and it was always this joke, He said: 'I looked into hiring a hitman and it was cheaper to get you this TV so instead I got you this TV … but he would never … it’s such a horrible thing to say.'"

Despite all these, prosecutors never produced a witness who could link Charlie to either of the hitmen associated with the murder case. However, the investigations show, Magbanua's finances improved dramatically after the murder.
