YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonna Adelson isn’t just a grandmother. Prosecutors say she’s the matriarch of a family crime saga straight out of a mob movie, accused of conspiring to kill Florida State law professor Dan Markel in what has become one of the most explosive murder trials in Florida. Her daughter Wendi Adelson was at the center of the bitter custody battle that set it all in motion. Her son Charlie Adelson has already been convicted and is expected to testify. And in a stunning twist, Donna’s estranged son Rob, someone we had never heard from until now, has taken the stand against his own mother. In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield takes you inside the courtroom, through the shocking family betrayals, and into the heart of the alleged “Grandma Gotti” murder-for-hire plot.
