The Murder of Dan Markel: The Sentencing of Donna Adelson

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.

You just eat the food and enjoy healthier blood sugar levels, fat loss, and having more energy. They’ve found that three consecutive Prolon cycles can reduce your biological age score by 2.5 years and cut your waist circumference by 1.5 inches.We love that Prolon is science-backed, and that it was researched and developed over the course of decades at USC’s Longevity Institute. It’s the perfect reset for anyone who’s looking to supercharge their health. Fasting can help achieve your health goals, but it’s really hard. Try fasting with food instead. Try Prolon.
