Summary

Recap of Donna Adelson's hearing from Wednesday, February 26, 2025.

Harvey was in attendance. We go over the defense motion to suppress the jail calls with investigator Jason Newlin called to the stand.

A RN with the Leon Co jail testifies about medical procedures and Donna's self-reported  physical aliments that are mentioned in the motion for bond as to why she should be released pending trial.

Donna takes the stand and talks about the dropped jail calls with Charlie. The calls were made shortly after this conviction in November, 2023. 

Both side present arguments about the motion to suppress.

What you know, alibiers. Welcome to another episode of Pretty Lies and Alibis. I'm Gigi. It is after midnight on February 28th.

Hope you guys had a great Thursday. I was just crazy busy with life. I didn't really get to sit down and start watching this hearing until about 7 o'clock last night.

0:18.1

So this is going to be part one. Part two will be out around lunchtime,

0:23.0

maybe a little bit later tomorrow. If you guys have followed this case, you know Charlie and

0:28.1

Donna seemingly talked nonstop from the time he was arrested up until she was arrested.

0:34.5

They didn't see each other again until the day her trial was supposed to begin. Charlie did not waive that

0:40.8

conflict of interest issue with his former attorney Dan Rashbaum representing Donna at her trial. That delayed

0:49.5

her trial for months. Donna was very upset that day, but she's got new defense attorneys, and it seems like

0:55.4

they have settled in. I'm going to link the calls that were played at the hearing in the

1:00.2

description, so that way you can go listen to them if you want. Also, Harvey Adelson was in attendance.

1:30.6

receive emails, text messages, videograms, photos, and audio calls. But you have to have

1:37.9

money on your account to be able to do this. And clearly Charlie had plenty because there were a

1:42.7

lot of calls made.

1:47.1

They talk about the fact that jail calls are recorded.

1:53.6

The inmate and the person receiving the call are told the call will be recorded and subject to being monitored and you can hang up if you don't want to be on a recorded call.

1:59.1

The inmate has a pin number to enter when making the call, and this ensures that the calls

2:04.6

that are made by the inmate are tracked.

2:07.8

The call will terminate when both parties hang up.
