22:37Now PlayingPowerful opening statements made in Day 1 of the Donna Adelson Trial. She is on trial for the murder of her ex son-in-law, Florida State law professor Dan Markel, in one of the most shocking and high-profile cases out of Tallahassee. Prosecutors allege that Donna Adelson played a central role in the murder-for-hire plot after her daughter, Wendi Adelson, divorced Markel and lost custody disputes.
Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #Truecrime. In this episode, STS Host Joel Waldman shares courtroom insight and brings us the latest and new details about Donna's trial.
With Donna's son, Charlie Adelson, already convicted in the same case, and Wendi Adelson expected to be a key witness, the trial is drawing national attention as opening statements begin. The Donna Adelson murder trial is now underway, and the courtroom battle will determine whether she is held accountable in the Dan Markel murder case.
