Fl v. Katherine Magbanua/The Adelson Family Murder For hire Trials

Not every murder begins with the person who pulls the trigger. Sometimes, it begins with the person in the middle. When a respected law professor is gunned down in his own driveway, the investigation leads to hired killers, a complex web of relationships, and a chain of communication that connects everyone involved. At the center of that chain is Katherine Magbanua—a woman who never carried out the act, but whose role may have made the entire crime possible. In this episode of Degrees of Guilt, we examine what it means to be the link between intention and action. Through shifting trial outcomes, evolving evidence, and a case built largely on connections rather than direct action, the question becomes less about who committed the crime… and more about who made it happen. Because if a crime depends on you… how much of it is yours?
