📊 We just published a new interactive visualization of who appeared when across all four trials in the Dan Markel case. A day-by-day map of the witnesses, attorneys, and judges across 36 days in court over six years. #TrialSky 🔗 markel.courtdaemon.com/people/appea...
Dark infographic titled “Who appeared when.” It maps 35 people across 36 days of four Dan Markel trials from 2019 to 2025. Names and portraits are grouped as Prosecution, Defense, Court, and Witnesses down the left. Colored columns represent each trial: purple for Garcia–Magbanua, blue for the Magbanua retrial, orange for Charlie Adelson, and green for Donna Adelson. Darker cells show more lines spoken; solid, striped, and outlined marks represent witness examinations, examiners, and other speaking appearances.
