Charlie Adelson Files 91-Page Appeal — What It Means for Donna and the Adelson Family?
Charlie Adelson, already convicted in the Dan Markel murder and serving life, has filed a 91-page appeal. We break down what it reveals — and what it could mean for Donna, Wendi, and Harvey Adelson. #STSNation, Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime on trending criminal cases and this story is one that is close to our hearts. It’s the case that started it all for STS — the shocking murder-for-hire of FSU law professor Dan Markel. And we've been covering #JusticeforDanMarkel for a while now... Convicted killer Charlie Adelson has filed a 91-page appeal seeking to overturn his life sentence — even as his mother, Donna Adelson, awaits trial and a new investigation is unfolding behind the scenes. Charlie Adelson is the brother of Wendi Adelson, Dan Markel's ex-wife, who was in the middle of a custody battle when Dan Markel was shot and killed after pulling into the driveway of his Tallahassee, Florida home in 2014. Charlie Adelson was convicted of hiring Latin King gang members to take out his ex brother-in-law, Dan Markel.#BestGuests: • R.

Donna Adelson Trial Set for August — What Do New Wiretaps Mean for Wendi, Harvey Adelson?
A new trial date has been set for Donna Adelson — August 19. But a secret investigation and recent wiretaps could have major consequences for the rest of the Adelson family. #STSNation, Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime on trending criminal cases. This is the twisted murder-for-hire that started it all — the case of Dan Markel. Dan Markel was shot and killed moments after he pulled up his driveway and into his garage. He died the next day. Now, almost 11 years later the story is still unraveling as alleged co-conspirators, like Donna Adelson, are going on trial one by one. Markel was killed in Tallahassee, Florida, in 2014, in a murder for hire in what prosecutors say was motivated by child custody issues with Markel's ex-wife, Wendi Adelson. Wendi Adelson's brother, Charlie Adelson, was convicted of the murder of Dan Markel in 2023 just days before his mother, Donna Adelson, was also arrested. We’re now learning that Donna Adelson’s trial, which was supposed to start in June 2025, is now set to begin August 19, but major questions still remain. A hearing is scheduled this Friday, and at the center of it all: • An apparent secret investigation involving new wiretaps that went through February 2024 • Speculation is mounting that the case may expand beyond Donna and Charlie • What could this mean for the other Adelsons like Wendi and Harvey?#BestGuests: Jeremy Mutz, former Leon County prosecutor and current criminal defense attorney Dr. Melissa Hamilton Law Professor Jo Potuto
