After
Dan
Markel
was
murdered
in
2014,
the
legal
battle
to
bring
his
killers
and
their
accomplices
to
justice
has
been
long
fought.
In
2023,
Charlie
Adelson
was
found
guilty
in
the
first
degree
for
murder,
conspiracy
to
commit
first
degree
murder,
and
solicitation
to
commit
first
degree
murder.
According
to
Adelson’s
lawyer,
Michael
Ufferman,
there’s
a
problem
with
his
client’s
sentencing
on
the
latter
two
counts:
the
numbers
don’t
seem
to
add
up.
Tallahassee
has
coverage:
Charlie
Adelson,
who’s
serving
a
life
sentence
in
the
murder-for-hire
of
Dan
Markel,
is
asking
to
be
resentenced
on
two
of
three
counts
against
him,
citing
an
alleged
error
in
the
sentencing
scoresheet.
…
“I
believe
the
scoresheet
error
regarding
the
improper
scoring
of
victim
injury
points
warrants
correction
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
law,”
Ufferman
said
in
a
text
to
the
Democrat.
“As
explained
in
the
motion
filed,
a
defendant
has
a
fundamental
right
to
be
sentenced
under
a
correctly
calculated
scoresheet.”
As
it
stands,
Adelson’s
sentencing
scoresheet
totaled
258
points;
his
lawyer
is
disputing
120
of
them.
Due
process
is
a
vital
component
to
achieving
the
rule
of
law.
If
the
tally
is
reduced
accordingly,
Adelson’s
resentencing
could
result
in
a
shorter
amount
of
time
to
be
served.
