Donna Adelson’s Defense Fights Back, Turning Sentencing Into Showdown Over “Unfair Trial”

Listen to this episode from Surviving the Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime on Spotify. Donna Adelson’s sentencing day quickly turned into a legal spectacle — with her defense team pushing back hard, arguing that she never received a fair trial. From calling out prosecutors to questioning the Markels and even taking aim at the judge, Donna’s team made their most defiant stand yet. But is this bold courtroom strategy part of a bigger plan… or simply Donna Adelson’s last attempt to keep control as she prepares for life behind bars? Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #truecrime. In this STS episode, host Joel Waldman and #BestGuests break down the dramatic courtroom moments, the defense’s surprising tone, and what it all means for the future of the Adelson family. Dan Markel, a beloved Florida State law professor, was brutally murdered in 2014 in a murder-for-hire plot tied to a bitter family dispute. Both Charlie and Donna Adelson have now been convicted for their roles in the crime — and many believe the pursuit of justice for Dan Markel will continue.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/Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorEmail: [email protected] Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
