The focus shifts squarely onto Donna Adelson’s official appeal — and the cracks in her defense are glaring. Tony, Stacy, and Todd lay out the claims point by point, revealing just how shaky her legal team’s strategy appears. Among the arguments: a juror posted on TikTok during the trial, another juror spoke out after the fact, and Donna’s defense insists her courtroom reactions shouldn’t have been considered at all. Add to that an allegation of “judicial favoritism” because the prosecution was given more time to set up technology, and the picture becomes clear: this isn’t a strong legal attack, it’s a desperate attempt to find any lifeline.
The team doesn’t let these arguments slide. They dissect them with sharp analysis and biting humor. Should a TikTok post really overturn a conviction in a murder-for-hire conspiracy? Should a jury ignore how a defendant reacts in the middle of trial testimony? And is it really the judge’s fault if Donna’s lawyer can’t figure out how to use a projector?
What becomes obvious in this breakdown is that Donna’s defense isn’t presenting new evidence or major legal flaws — they’re trying to poke holes where none exist. This segment highlights just how weak the appeal looks in real time and raises the question: Is this just going through the motions, or does Donna truly believe these arguments will set her free?
👉 Watch the full segment to see why Donna Adelson’s appeal may be one of the least convincing courtroom strategies we’ve seen in recent memory. Don’t forget to subscribe for daily deep dives into the cases shaking the true crime world.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
