Is Accused Killer Shanna Gardner Using PR to Spin the Narrative in Her Favor?

Donna Adelson has officially been transferred to her new home: Homestead Correctional Institution in Miami-Dade County — and STS is breaking down what this major move means for one of the most notorious defendants in Florida right now. Convicted for her role in the murder of her ex–son-in-law, FSU law professor Dan Markel, Donna is now beginning what could be the rest of her life behind bars. In this Surviving the Survivor episode, Emmy Award-Winning Host Joel Waldman and the #BestGuests take you inside what Donna can expect at Homestead. Dan Markel was gunned down in his Tallahassee driveway in 2014 in a planned murder-for-hire plot tied to a bitter child-custody battle. For years, the case twisted through shocking allegations, wiretaps, informants, and arrests — ultimately leading to Donna’s conviction.Support the show & be a part of #STSNation:Donate to STS' Trial Travel: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...VENMO: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcastCheck out STS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorEmail: SurvivingTheSurvivor@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Luigi Mangione has spent the last few days in court as his defense team fights for a fair trial and questions how Luigi Mangione was arrested and if it will jeopardize his rights to a fair trial. Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #Bestguests in all of #truecrime. In this STS episode, Emmy Award-Winning Host Joel Waldman updated STSNation on the latest developments inside the NYC federal courtroom. Luigi Mangione, accused of fatally shooting Brian Thompson — the former CEO of UnitedHealthcare — in a high-profile December 2024 Midtown Manhattan killing, is back in court as prosecutors and defense attorneys spar over what evidence can be used at trial. Prosecutors have played chilling 911-call audio and surveillance footage of the killing and of Mangione’s arrest five days later at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania, while the defense argues key evidence — including a 9 mm handgun, a notebook with alleged motive writings, and statements made by Mangione — should be excluded because they were obtained without a warrant or timely Miranda warning.Support the show & be a part of #STSNation:Donate to STS' Trial Travel: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...VENMO: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcastCheck out STS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorEmail: SurvivingTheSurvivor@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
