Donna Adelson Demands Court Dismiss All Charges Against Her - Lawyer Reviews Her Bold Move

Donna Adelson has asked the judge to dismiss the murder case against her. The State says, no way. We'll dive into the arguments and whether Donna is very likely to get the case against her dismissed.

Law professor Dan Markel was shot dead in his driveway on July 19, 2014. Prosecutors followed a maze of clues to two hitmen in Miami.

Prosecutors say Donna and Charlie Adelson hired the hitmen to kill Markel. Markel had been married to Wendi Adelson, Donna’s daughter and Charlie’s sister. Wendi and Markel were locked in a bitter custody battle, and prosecutors say Donna was afraid she would lose easy access to her grandchildren.

Charlie Adelson is now behind bars, sentenced to life in prison for his role in hiring hitmen killing his brother-in-law, Dan Markel. Last fall authorities arrested Donna Adelson as she was about to board a flight to Vietnam. She is now facing her own charges of murder for hire.

What is wrong with those people? There's no statute of limitations on murder.

[davidschneide]

When Donna made a deal with the devil for a successful murder that gets Wendi full custody, she forgot about the fine print

[Juke]

What a joke!!! Drop murder charges? way! 🤦‍♀️

[carolynstreetermirek]

Donna documented everything - SO MUCH evidence!

[JRoChi]

I firmly believe that the longer they went without being charged, the more careless they got with talking on the phone, writing checks, and sending texts and emails. Once Charlie was indicted, I still think Donna assumed she got away with it.

I'm sick of that family's drama. Puhleeze expedite convictions of two others.

[cherylsabol]

The whole family was involved! The fact that the ex wife wasn’t charged is crazy..

[cassandraturner]

That’s a person who’s used to getting her way . Entitled narcissist .

[dianeheyn]

Did anyone really think that
Donna would go quietly??
She's a control freak She's going
Out kicking and screaming

[martinwalsh]

Arrest Wendi NOW !!! Can't wait to see Wendi in that orange prisoner suit !

[feti]

You only have to answer one very simple question. Why would two violent individuals drive such a long way to kill a lawyer who had absolutely no ties to these people except for his ex wife and her family who were to linked to them and who were fighting for custody.

[mominny]

??? Will Wendi testify against her mother? She’s probably REALLY feeling the HEAT right now!! ???

[lilykendrick]

One way ticket to Vietnam made my mind up!
Great show Lawyer Lee👏😊

[nearalki]

The delay to charge certainly didn't help Donna, but Donna is guilty, guilty, guilty...so tuff luck. Be thankful you had 10 years additional freedom.

[Lavender-blue]

If I was the judge, I’d be inclined to tell Rashbaum to stop shouting. He sounds more like a kid throwing a hissy fit than being passionate on behalf of his client.

[kass]

Donna the only woman on the planet that helped do a hit to be a free babysitter 🥴🤦‍♀️🤡

[nancyflaherty]

Donna Adelson thinks she’s above the law

[doom]

I doubt they'll dismiss it. She certainly wasn't worried about gathering evidence while she was trying to hop a plane to Vietnam.

[pattil]

Great job! I always look forward to your analysis of these cases! 👍👋🥰❤️

[JY-tqdr]

Thanks for this update... really eager to see this trial play out!
