The Murder of Dan Markel: The Sentencing of Donna Adelson

Correction: Wendi, not Charles, is the youngest Adelson sibling.

On July 18, 2014, hired hitmen named Sigfredo Garcia and Luis Rivera hunted down law professor Dan Markel and shot him in Tallahassee, Florida. He died the next day.

Katherine Magbanua, the mother of Garcia's children, was implicated in the plot, as was her former boyfriend Charles Adelson, Markel's former brother-in-law. Garcia, Charles Adelson, and Magbanua received exentsive sentences, with Rivera acting as a cooperating witness and cutting a deal. Most recently, Donna Adelson, the victim's former mother-in-law, was convicted of first degree murders, conspiracy, and solicitation on September 4, 2025.

On October 13, 2025, she was sentenced to life in prison. We will talk about the sentencing hearing in this case.

If you’ve listened to our show, you’ve heard from Jayson — he’s always got excellent insights on true crime. Well, you’re in luck — he’s also got a wonderful weekly podcast that’s all about fascinating conversations with inspiring people. The thing about Jayson is that he’s one of the most compassionate and interesting people we know, which definitely helps him out on the interviewing front. Listening to the Silver Linings Handbook feels like sitting around a campfire with interesting storytellers. You’ll get into topics like he criminal justice system, spirituality, and mental health — the big through line is it’s all thoughtful and human-centric. We’ve so enjoyed getting to go on the Silver Linings Handbook to talk about true crime in the past. Jayson always makes us believe in the bright side of true crime, and I always end up endlessly quoting him afterwards. These talks are just so engaging — as well as being completely unscripted and authentic! He’s a person whose experiences with loss and failure have helped him rebuild and shape into the empathetic, kind person we know and love. And that’s ultimately what the Silver Linings Handbook is about. Growing together, understanding one another, and moving forward with greater compassion. Subscribe to the Silver Linings Handbook wherever you listen to podcasts.
