Lawyers for denounced Dan Markel murder suspect Charlie Adelson are asking a Leon District judge to keep any assertions made to examiners by his one-time sweetheart mystery until after she affirms.
The defensive request recorded Tuesday in Leon Region Circuit Court asks that the assertions made by Katherine Magbanua indicted for Markels murder last year to agents toward the end of last year be kept from people in general to limit the degree of pretrial exposure.
