Surviving the Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime

This may be Donna Adelson's last full day of jury selection as Judge Everett pushes to start opening statements sooner. This trial has seen twists and turns over the last year but if jurors are locked down in the morning trial will officially begin on August 20th, just a little over 11 years since the murder for hire of FSU Law Professor Dan Markel. Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #Truecrime. In this STS episode, Host and Emmy Award-Winning Journalist Joel Waldman brings on some of the top legal minds to take us inside the courtroom--and break down the key moments from jury selection. Attorneys will also have to prepare for opening statements which could come as soon as Thursday afternoon. 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. Thanks for supporting the show and being 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/Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorJoel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLx#truecrimecommunity #newsupdate #donnaadelson #wendiadelson#justicefordanmarkel #murderforhire #murdernews #criminaljustice#crimenews #trial  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

STS reviews old testimony and the latest as we try to better understand Donna's upcoming case and the murder of FSU Law Professor Dan Markel.. Welcome to Surviving The Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime. Emmy Award-Winning Host Joel Waldmans brings on #BestGuests: 2 top attorneys and a law professor to dig deeper into Donna's case and the murder of Dan Markel. Donna Adelson is set to face trial for the disturbing murder of father of two and Florida State law professor Dan Markel-- a case that has gripped the nation for more than decade. Prosecutors allege that Donna was a key player in the murder-for-hire plot that led to Markel’s 2014 shooting, a crime for which her son, Charlie Adelson, was convicted just two years ago. During his own trial, Charlie claimed the entire ordeal was nothing more than a bizarre “double extortion” scheme, but jurors didn’t buy it—and now his mother will stand before the court to face the very same charges. With the high-profile case returning to the spotlight, the community focuses in on the Leon County Courthouse as Donna's trial begins on August 19th.
