State Exhibit (Magbanua texts June 2014)
A text message from Magbanua dated June 24, 2014 — more than three weeks before the murder — requested that Charlie place her on his dental practice payroll and provide employment documentation for a DCF proceeding. The prosecution discussed this during cross-examination, noting the payroll request predated the alleged July 18 extortion that the defense cited as the reason for the employment arrangement.

About
The timing of the payroll request before the murder and before the alleged extortion event directly challenges the defense's explanation for why Magbanua was placed on the payroll, making this message relevant to the competing accounts of the Adelson–Magbanua financial relationship.
