\"gavelAfter Dan Markel was murdered in 2014, the legal battle to bring his killers and their accomplices to justice has been long fought. In 2023<\/a>, 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\u2019s lawyer, Michael Ufferman, there\u2019s a problem with his client\u2019s sentencing on the latter two counts: the numbers don\u2019t seem to add up. Tallahassee<\/a> has coverage:<\/p>\n

Charlie Adelson, who\u2019s 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.
\u2026
\u201cI believe the scoresheet error regarding the improper scoring of victim injury points warrants correction to ensure compliance with the law,\u201d\u00a0 Ufferman said in a text to the Democrat. \u201cAs explained in the motion filed, a defendant has a fundamental right to be sentenced under a correctly calculated scoresheet.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As it stands, Adelson\u2019s 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\u2019s resentencing could result in a shorter amount of time to be served.<\/p>\n
