Donna Adelson Wants Out of Jail! Dramatic Testimony at Hearing

At today's hearing, Donna Adelson asked the court to let her out on bond, and to suppress two phone call recordings. Donna had been on the phone with her son Charlie, who was in prison, when the call seemed to disconnect and Charlie was no longer on the phone. However, the jail system continued to record Donna's conversation with others around her.

Donna is charged in a murder conspiracy against law professor Dan Markel. Markel was shot in his driveway on July 19, 2014. Prosecutors followed a maze of clues to two hitmen in Miami.

Prosecutors say Donna and her son Charlie Adelson hired the hitmen to kill Markel. Markel had been married to Wendi Adelson, Donna’s daughter and Charlie’s sister. Wendi and Markel were locked in a bitter custody battle, and prosecutors say Donna was afraid she would lose easy access to her grandchildren.

Charlie Adelson is now behind bars, sentenced to life in prison for his role in hiring hitmen to kill his brother-in-law, Dan Markel. Last fall authorities arrested Donna Adelson as she was about to board a flight to Vietnam. She is now facing her own charges in the murder of Dan Markel.
