Jury Reaches Verdict In Donna Adelson Trial – Above the Law

For
years
now,
prosecutors
have
been
fighting
to
bring
Dan
Markel’s
killers
to
justice.

Katharine
Magbanua

received
a
life
sentence
plus
60
years.

Charlie
Adelson
got
life
,
and
his
mother

Donna
Adelson

recently
got
a
jury
verdict
from
her
trial.
She
was
found
guilty
accross
the
board.

CNN

has
coverage:

The
matriarch
of
a
wealthy
South
Florida
family
was
convicted
Thursday
of
murder
in
the
killing
of
her
former
son-in-law,
a
prominent
law
professor
who
was
locked
in
a
bitter
custody
battle
with
his
ex-wife
when
he
was
gunned
down
in
2014.

When
the
judge
announced
that
the
jury
had
convicted
Adelson
of
first-degree
murder,
the
defendant
exclaimed,
“Oh!”
and
started
shaking
and
crying.

You
can
see
her
reaction
to
the
verdicts
here:

Speculation
has
already
begun
on
if
Wendi
Adelson,
Dan
Markel’s
former
wife,
will
also
be
charged
with
his
murder:

I’m
sure
there’s
at
least
one
person
whose
job
it
is
to
make
sure
that
Wendi
doesn’t
book
any
flights
to
Vietnam.
