Donna Adelson Trial: Jury Selection Starts August 19th! | Case Brief

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/FRAkjqjIHUI Jury selection for Donna Adelson's trial is set for August 19th, with the state's case beginning around August 25th. Once a jury is seated, opening statements will follow quickly. Most motions were addressed, with the court ruling that evidence would be admitted if relevant. Dan Markel, a legal professor, was murdered in 2014 amidst a child custody battle with his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson, Donna's daughter. The prosecution alleges that Donna Adelson and her son, Charlie Adelson, conspired to murder Dan Markel to resolve the custody issue, believing that without a father, the court couldn't force shared custody in Tallahassee. Two gunmen and a "middle person" (who worked at Charlie's dental office and is expected to testify) have already been prosecuted in connection with the murder. Charlie Adelson was also convicted. This will be the fourth time the government has prosecuted a part of this case, with Donna being the last to be charged. Will Charlie Adelson will testify? How will Wendi Adelson will testify.
