Defense 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. Help STS with Travel costs: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...More of STS:Links: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSTS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTubeVenmo Donations: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcast

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.More of STS:Links: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSTS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTubeVenmo Donations: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcast

BIG BREAKDOWN – Donna Adelson On The Stand Complaining About Jail Conditions While Awaiting Trial For Murder In this raw and revealing courtroom testimony, 75-year-old Donna Adelson takes the stand—not to proclaim her innocence or deny involvement in the alleged murder-for-hire plot against her former son-in-law Dan Markel—but to air a laundry list of grievances about her life in jail. What unfolds is an unexpected glimpse into the mindset of the accused matriarch at the center of a high-profile murder case. As the courtroom listens, Donna describes a series of alleged assaults, threats, and extortion attempts inside the jail. She claims inmates have targeted her for her notoriety, demanded canteen items, and physically attacked her, including one incident where she says she was struck in the head. The woman accused of helping orchestrate a contract killing sounds less like a defendant preparing for trial and more like someone demanding better room service. This episode features Donna's testimony in her own words—unedited, uninterrupted, and unbelievable at times. Her tone is calm, measured, even matter-of-fact, but the content paints a picture of someone deeply concerned with her comfort, not the case against her. It's the kind of courtroom moment that leaves everyone wondering: is this strategy, delusion, or both? We give you the full testimony as it happened, without spin or commentary. Hear for yourself how Donna attempts to reposition the narrative just weeks before her murder trial is set to begin. Whether it's a legal maneuver or a bid for sympathy, this testimony is unlike anything we've seen so far in the case—and it's all here. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #FSUProfessorMurder #AdelsonTrial #CourtroomTestimony #HiddenKillersPodcast #TrueCrimeDaily #JailConditions #RawAudio #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dan Markel, a respected Florida State University law professor, was tragically murdered on July 18, 2014, in a “murder‑for‑hire” ambush outside his Tallahassee home. After a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife Wendi Adelson—centered on her desire to relocate their two sons to South Florida—a conspiracy unfolded. Investigators uncovered that Wendi's brother, Charlie Adelson, allegedly arranged the hit, funneling payments through his then-girlfriend Katherine Magbanua. Magbanua then enlisted Sigfredo “Tuto” Garcia, who shot Markel in the head, while accomplice Luis Rivera helped orchestrate the setup. The crime was tracked down through surveillance of a rented Prius, phone and GPS data, and an undercover FBI operation that recorded coded phone calls involving Charlie and his mother, Donna Adelson. Ultimately, Garcia and Magbanua received life sentences, Rivera got 19 years for his plea and testimony, and Charlie was convicted in November 2023 on first‑degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation charges. Now Donna Adelson will go on trial in August of 2025.More of STS:Links: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSTS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTubeVenmo Donations: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcast

Roberta reviews never seen before footage of Donna Adelson being moved in custody from Miami to Leon County Jail in Tallahassee, Florida. The video shows a trembling Donna being bottle fed and pulled out on a ambulance gurney. Donna puts on quite a performance but her acting is more suited to soap operas than serious dramas. Also discussed: Donna Adelson's motion hearings ahead of her August 19th, 2025 trial for the murder of her son-in-law, FSU law professor Dan Markel. This is a fun one.

Donna Adelson: Inside the New Evidence That Could Seal Her Fate  What does a Boca Raton grandma, an undercover FBI sting, a murder-for-hire plot, and a one-way ticket to Vietnam have in common? One name: Donna Adelson. In this in-depth breakdown, we follow the trail of evidence prosecutors say links Donna to the 2014 killing of her ex-son-in-law, Florida State law professor Dan Markel. This isn't just a story of family dysfunction—it's a forensic, digital, and financial autopsy of a conspiracy that took nine years to build and is now coming to a boiling point in a Florida courtroom. We lay out every major piece of evidence the prosecution will use: from the bombshell jail phone calls, to Luis Rivera's testimony about “the lady” ordering the hit, to Katherine Magbanua's claim that Donna hand-delivered a moldy envelope full of cash to Charlie the night of the murder. We break down the flurry of phone calls between co-conspirators, the Lexus bought with blood money, the call logs and financial spikes that map out the plot like a blueprint, and yes—Donna's attempted flight to a non-extradition country with her husband just days after her son was convicted. This isn't speculation. This is the receipts. And in this episode, we walk you through how they all add up—to a conspiracy prosecutors say Donna Adelson helped fund, plan, and cover up. If you're looking for a true crime case where the evidence tells the story... this is the one.

The prosecution hands over evidence of a prison snitch who will testify that Donna Adelson was offering money for prison testimony that absolves her of responsibility for the murder by hire of Dan Markel. This is what we all thought was happening when Mrs. Adelson took the stand months ago and alleged two inmates had told her that Katie Magbanua said she had set the Adelson duo (Donna & Charlie Adelson) up for money. In other news, Magbanua gets her appeal denied and Judge Everett refuses to be thrown off the bench by Donna Adelson and her legal team. There's so much to catch up on!

Join us for live coverage of Donna Adelson's court hearing. Donna is accused of orchestrating the 2014 murder-for-hire of her former son-in-law, FSU law professor Dan Markel. Welcome to Surviving The Survivor, the live daily show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #truecrime. The Donna Adelson murder trial centers on the 2014 killing of Dan Markel, a Florida State University law professor, in a murder-for-hire allegedly orchestrated by the Adelsons. The state says motives stems from a custody dispute between Dan Markel and his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson, which led to a bitter a legal battle over their two children. Prosecutors believe Donna Adelson, motivated by a desire to have Wendi and her grandchildren closer to her in South Florida, conspired with her son, Charlie Adelson, to have her ex son-in-law Dan Markel killed. Charlie Adelson was convicted of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation of murder in 2023 and sentenced to life in prison. Donna Adelson was arrested days later in November 2023 at Miami International Airport while attempting to board a flight to Vietnam, a country without extradition to the United States. She faces charges of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and solicitation of murder. Her trial is scheduled to begin in August of 2025.⸻ #Support the show:All Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSTS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTubeVenmo Donations: @STSPodcast#DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #CourtHearing #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #LegalAnalysis #FSU #FloridaNews #LiveCoverage #JusticeForDanMarkel #TrialUpdates

Donna Adelson's 5 Most DAMNING Wiretapped Conversations - Murder-for-Hire Evidence EXPOSED The Donna Adelson murder conspiracy case has captivated true crime followers as one of the most shocking family-orchestrated assassinations in modern history. This deep dive reveals the disturbing evidence that prosecutors say proves 73-year-old Donna Adelson masterminded the brutal murder of Florida State University law professor Dan Markel in his own driveway. In this comprehensive analysis, we break down the wiretapped conversations, financial records, and family testimony that led to multiple convictions in what investigators call a sophisticated murder-for-hire plot. The case began as a bitter custody dispute between Dan Markel and his ex-wife Wendi Adelson, but escalated into an alleged family conspiracy involving Donna's dentist son Charlie Adelson, hired assassins, and a web of financial transactions designed to cover their tracks. The evidence is staggering: over 80,000 emails, recorded phone conversations, and testimony from convicted co-conspirators paint a picture of a wealthy family that believed money could solve any problem - even murder. We examine the prosecution's methodical approach to building their case, starting with the actual shooters Luis Rivera and Sigfredo Garcia, then working up to Katherine Magbanua, Charlie Adelson, and finally Donna herself. Recent developments have only strengthened the case against Donna Adelson. A jailhouse informant has alleged that she offered to pay for witness testimony, leading to new wiretaps of her husband Harvey's phone. Her recent transfer from Leon County to Wakulla Detention Facility highlights the ongoing challenges in a case where even constitutional rights become controversial when the defendant is accused of denying those same rights to her alleged victim. The psychological elements of this case are particularly disturbing. How does a grandmother allegedly become the financial mastermind behind a murder plot? What drives a successful family to choose assassination over accepting legal defeat in family court? We explore the forensic evidence, legal strategies, and family dynamics that created one of Florida's most notorious murder conspiracies. This case represents more than just another true crime story - it's a cautionary tale about privilege, entitlement, and how family loyalty can transform into criminal conspiracy. With Donna's trial approaching in August 2025, the final chapter of this devastating family saga is about to be written. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #MurderConspiracy #TrueCrime #CharlieAdelson #FloridaMurder #MurderForHire #AdelsonFamily #TallahasseMurder #CriminalConspiracy Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

A new trial date has been set for Donna Adelson — August 19. But a secret investigation and recent wiretaps could have major consequences for the rest of the Adelson family. #STSNation, Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime on trending criminal cases. This is the twisted murder-for-hire that started it all — the case of Dan Markel. Dan Markel was shot and killed moments after he pulled up his driveway and into his garage. He died the next day. Now, almost 11 years later the story is still unraveling as alleged co-conspirators, like Donna Adelson, are going on trial one by one. Markel was killed in Tallahassee, Florida, in 2014, in a murder for hire in what prosecutors say was motivated by child custody issues with Markel's ex-wife, Wendi Adelson. Wendi Adelson's brother, Charlie Adelson, was convicted of the murder of Dan Markel in 2023 just days before his mother, Donna Adelson, was also arrested. We're now learning that Donna Adelson's trial, which was supposed to start in June 2025, is now set to begin August 19, but major questions still remain. A hearing is scheduled this Friday, and at the center of it all: • An apparent secret investigation involving new wiretaps that went through February 2024 • Speculation is mounting that the case may expand beyond Donna and Charlie • What could this mean for the other Adelsons like Wendi and Harvey?#BestGuests: Jeremy Mutz, former Leon County prosecutor and current criminal defense attorney Dr. Melissa Hamilton Law Professor Jo Potuto

80,000 Emails, Wiretaps & Jailhouse Informants - Donna Adelson Trial Delayed AGAIN! The upcoming murder trial of Donna Adelson has taken a stunning turn—and we're breaking it down from the inside. Just weeks before jury selection was set to begin, the trial was abruptly delayed after prosecutors dumped a massive trove of newly uncovered evidence: over 80,000 emails, months of wiretap recordings, and what may include explosive jailhouse informant testimony. This isn't just a case of courtroom scheduling chaos—this is a criminal case unraveling in real time. In this episode, we dissect the dramatic chain of events that led Judge Stephen Everett to cancel the June 3rd trial date. We'll explore how a mysterious tip in late 2024 led the state to quietly reopen the investigation into Donna Adelson, months after her arrest and nearly a decade after the murder of Florida State law professor Dan Markel. What did they find? Why was the defense blindsided? And what do 16 sealed court filings in a single month suggest about what's coming next? From the recusal attempt against the judge, to the pending change of venue motion, to the possibility that Donna Adelson's own words were caught on wiretap, this is the inside story of how one of the most high-profile murder-for-hire cases in America just got even darker. Whether you're following the Markel murder saga from day one or you're just now diving into the twisted legal fallout, this video unpacks every new twist in the Donna Adelson case—and what it could mean when this trial finally hits the courtroom.

Judge Rules Wendi Adelson's Novel Can Be Used in Donna Adelson Murder Trial In a dramatic legal twist, the judge presiding over the Donna Adelson murder trial has ruled that prosecutors may question Wendi Adelson about the novel she wrote years before her ex-husband, Dan Markel, was murdered. The book, This Is Our Story, features a storyline that bears unsettling similarities to Wendi's real life—leading prosecutors to argue it offers insight into her mindset and possible motive. While Wendi Adelson has not been charged in the case, her testimony is expected to play a key role in her mother's defense, and this ruling could be a game-changer. In this episode, we dive deep into what's in the book, why the prosecution wants to use it, and what the judge's ruling really means. We also explore how this novel—centered on a fictional immigration lawyer and her strained marriage—could affect how jurors view Wendi's credibility, and how that, in turn, could influence the fate of Donna Adelson. Legal experts are calling it one of the most unusual and high-stakes rulings in the ongoing fallout from the Dan Markel murder. Whether you're following the Donna Adelson trial, the ongoing implications of Charlie Adelson's conviction, or simply trying to make sense of how a novel written in 2011 could echo so loudly in a 2025 courtroom, this is an episode you won't want to miss. We break it all down with clarity, legal insight, and deep reporting on one of the most complex and emotionally charged cases in recent memory. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

#STSNation! Welcome to the show that promises to bring you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime on trending criminal cases. Wendi Adelson once called her ex-husband, Dan Markel, her “latex spouse” in a writer's workshop—not long after his murder. Now her novel, This Is Our Story, is potentially at the center of her mother Donna Adelson's upcoming murder-for-hire trial. As the judge weighs whether Wendi's novel should be admissible as evidence, STS dives deep into its pages. We're joined by two leading psychologists and a sharp legal mind to analyze Wendi's fiction—and whether it offers a disturbing window into real-life motives and family dynamics. Did the novel foreshadow Dan's murder? Is Lily, the main character, actually Wendi? And what does it say that she removed the Markel name from her children post-murder? Get ready for a chilling breakdown of blurred lines between fiction and real-life tragedy.#WendiAdelson #ThisIsOurStory #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #CharlieAdelson #MurderForHire #FSULaw #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #SurvivingTheSurvivor #JusticeForDanMarkel #LegalDrama #CrimeBookAnalysis #TrueCrimeCommunityGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxAll Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTube

The Book Donna Adelson Wants Buried And Why In the upcoming murder trial of Donna Adelson, one of the most unexpected pieces of potential evidence isn't a text message, a wiretap, or a bank record—it's a novel. This Is Our Story, written by her daughter Wendi Adelson and published years before Dan Markel's murder, has become a focal point of legal and public scrutiny. Prosecutors say it reveals motive: the fictional tale of a woman trapped in a marriage she wants to escape, who builds a new life without her husband, mirrors the real-life dynamics at the heart of this case. Donna's defense calls it irrelevant and dangerously misleading. What's actually in the book? Why does the State believe it matters? And could fiction help convict someone of murder? This is the story of a courtroom fight over words on a page—and what they might mean in real life.     Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Did Wendi Adelson Know? Breaking Down the Allegations in the Dan Markel Case Did Wendi Adelson Know? Breaking Down the Allegations in the Dan Markel Case The murder of Florida State law professor Dan Markel was a shocking crime that unraveled into a twisted murder-for-hire plot allegedly orchestrated by members of his ex-wife Wendi Adelson's family. But despite multiple convictions—including those of hitmen, intermediaries, and most recently her own brother, Charlie Adelson—one question still lingers: Why hasn't Wendi Adelson been charged? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the allegations, the evidence, and the legal barriers that have kept Wendi free, even as those around her have fallen. We'll examine the custody battle and family feud that led up to the murder, the suspicious actions and statements Wendi made before and after Markel's death, and why investigators labeled her an unindicted co-conspirator. We'll also break down the phone records, the infamous “hitman joke,” and the controversial immunity deal that has made prosecution more difficult. What did Wendi know? Did she actively participate, or was she just a bystander who benefited from the crime? With the upcoming trial of Donna Adelson, Wendi's mother, new evidence could emerge that finally answers the question of whether Wendi was involved in this carefully planned execution. Could she still face charges? And if so, what would it take for prosecutors to make a move? This is the full story behind one of the most infamous murder cases in recent history—and why it's far from over. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
