BREAKING: Charlie Adelson Appeal Set for February | Donna Adelson Files Her Own Appeal

BREAKING: Charlie Adelson Appeal Set for February | Donna Adelson Files Her Own Appeal

The next chapter in the Dan Markel murder saga is about to unfold — in an appellate courtroom with no cameras and no jury. Charlie Adelson's appeal is scheduled for oral argument on February 3rd, 2026. His attorneys will have twenty minutes to convince three judges that his 2023 conviction should be overturned. The arguments: pretrial publicity made a fair trial impossible, jurors discussed the case after being told not to, critical text messages were improperly excluded, and his own attorney had a disqualifying conflict of interest. That last one is especially interesting — because Charlie himself triggered his mother's trial delay by revoking his conflict waiver on the morning Donna Adelson's jury selection was supposed to begin.

Now he's arguing that same conflict compromised his defense. Donna, meanwhile, was convicted in September 2025 and sentenced to life. She's filed her notice of appeal but hasn't submitted her full brief yet. Mother and son — both serving life without parole, both fighting through the same appellate court, neither willing to take the stand for the other. We break down what happens next, what Charlie's team is actually arguing, and why the odds of success in criminal appeals hover around five percent. The Markel case isn't over. It's just entering its quietest phase.
