Day 5 - October 3, 2019

The court limited the evidentiary ruling to drug dealing, approved lesser-included homicide instructions, tailored the firearm instruction to Garcia, and deferred other instruction questions.

June Umchinda described Charlie Adelson's behavior and cash at his residence, then acknowledged a prior interview discussion of stapled money.

Garcia's counsel tested the limits of Umchinda's recorded interview and her firsthand knowledge of Charlie Adelson before 2015.

Magbanua's counsel questioned Umchinda about her law-enforcement interview, emotions toward Charles Adelson, media exposure, and knowledge of Magbanua's work.

June Umchinda clarified that she did not believe prosecutors personally came to her door and addressed her understanding of the recorded interview.

June Umchinda said she recently exchanged text messages with Charlie Adelson before traveling to court.

A friend described Magbanua's relationships, employment history, a July 2014 reported accident, and a Lexus she said Charlie Adelson gave Magbanua.

Cross-examination focused on Mascaro's limited knowledge of Rivera and Magbanua's relationships with Adelson and Garcia.

Cross-examination tested Mascaro's prior affidavit and her memory of a July 2014 car-accident call while eliciting relationship and employment context about Magbanua.

Mascaro clarified the accuracy of a law-enforcement report, relationship timing, the reported-accident call, and employment details.

Mascaro said she lacked knowledge about Magbanua's pay, relationship timing, and Garcia's whereabouts during an overnight childcare incident.

Mascaro said she rarely watched Katherine's children before the court excused her.

Lebredo described Adelson Institute staffing and payroll practices and said Magbanua was known to her only as a patient.

Lebredo said she did not know of any Adelson Institute employees working by phone.

Lebredo said Erika might also check voice mail, though Lebredo usually checked it first.

Lebredo described limits on access to the earlier office voice-mail system and said she did not know whether calls could be forwarded to Dr. Harvey Adelson.

Erika Johnson described Adelson Institute operations and a recorded call with Charlie Adelson after law enforcement sought Katherine Magbanua's personnel records.

Johnson agreed Harvey Adelson could have Adelson Institute calls forwarded to his cell phone.

Johnson said she was unsure whether Magbanua worked at the Adelson Institute and described remote record access and cash-payment discounts.

Johnson explained why she called Charlie Adelson about requested records as the court admitted and published State's Exhibit 180.

Johnson agreed that subpoenaed records existed and were provided within 20 days.

The judge excused Erika Johnson and explained that a records subpoena does not provide immunity.

Corbitt mapped June and July phone, rental, and GPS records, while the court addressed defense complaints about late-disclosed demonstrative material.

The court directed further research into whether the image of Garcia's traffic citation had been disclosed.

Corbitt mapped July travel, handset locations, and call activity through phone, GPS, bank, and video records, while explaining limits in the available data.

The court withheld a late-disclosed traffic citation from admission and marked cell-site demonstratives as court exhibits for the record only.

Corbitt acknowledged limits on cell-site precision and handset attribution, while agreeing Rivera's listed Miami Beach address differed from a North Miami map label.

Corbitt acknowledged limits in the State's cell-site analysis and phone-record summaries as the defense introduced call-record exhibits and disputed several communication inferences.

The court allowed defense use of iCloud-record material, ordered an inquiry into reported sequestration violations, and explained its earlier recording ruling.
