YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Donna Adelson is making headlines again as she files new motions ahead of her highly anticipated trial set for August 19th. Adelson's defense team is now trying to silence key jailhouse informants and suppress their damning “evidence” that could link her directly to the murder-for-hire plot that left FSU Law Professor Dan Markel dead. Her defense team argues the informants are unreliable and that their statements are prejudicial, but prosecutors say the information is crucial to the case. As the courtroom showdown approaches, all eyes are on these latest filings and how they could impact the trial.

The murder of Dan Markel, a respected Florida State University law professor and father of two boys, shocked the nation in 2014 when he was gunned down in his driveway in what prosecutors say was a cold-blooded murder-for-hire plot. Investigators believe the killing was orchestrated by members of the Adelson family following a bitter custody battle between Markel and his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson. The case has led to multiple arrests, including hitmen Sigfredo Garcia and Luis Rivera, as well as Katherine Magbanua then Wendi's brother, Charlie Adelson. The most recent arrest was for Donna Adelson, the family matriarch. This high-profile case continues to unfold with new revelations, court filings, and upcoming trials.

STS will be in Tallahassee covering the trial from gavel to gavel.
