Donna Adelson Faces Trial in Twisted Murder of Law Professor Dan Markel

The trial for Donna Adelson, the grandmother accused of being part of the plot to murder her ex-son-in-law, Dan Markel, will begin in Tallahassee this week. Markel was a professor of law at Florida State University. Prosecutors say Donna Adelson and her son, Charlie Adelson, planned to murder Markel so Donna’s grandchildren could move closer to her in Miami. Many questions remain including whether Markel’s ex-wife, Wendi Adelson, knew about the plot. She denies any involvement.
