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.
