Donna Adelson, the matriarch of her family, is going on trial for the murder for hire of her ex son-in-law, Dan Markel. Dan divorced Wendi Adelson, Donna's daughter, and was in a tense custody battle with her over their two children when he was shot and killed. In 2023, Wendi's brother, Charlie Adelson, was tried and convicted for the murder of Dan Markel. He testified he was never involved in a murder for hire but rather was the victim of double extortion.
