1:24:45Now PlayingDefense in Panic Mode? Donna Adelson's Team Tries To Toss Out Key Witnesses and Downplay Evidence Just 14 Days Before trial. Donna Adelson is about to go on trial for the murder-for-hire plot of her ex son-in-law and beloved FSU law professor, Dan Markel.
Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime. In this episode, STS Host and Emmy Award-Winning Journalist Joel Waldman brings on Private Investigator Monica Jordan, Attorney Josh Ritter @CRConfidential and Former Inmate Justin Paperny to discuss key motions, the power of the informants, the reality of people turning on each other--and what the biggest red flags are two weeks out from trial.
The murder of Florida State University law professor Dan Markel in 2014 shocked the nation, and now, more than a decade later, his former mother-in-law Donna Adelson is set to stand trial for his killing. Prosecutors allege that Adelson was part of a murder-for-hire plot orchestrated to end a bitter custody battle between Markel and her daughter, Wendi Adelson. Markel was gunned down in his Tallahassee driveway in broad daylight, a crime authorities say was carried out by hired hitmen with ties to the Adelson family. Donna Adelson’s upcoming trial is expected to reveal explosive new evidence, witness testimony, and details about the conspiracy that’s been unraveling for years.
STS will cover the trial gavel-to-gavel on STS and Joel will be LIVE in Tallahassee, Florida everyday.
