Donna Adelson is days away from trial but will use the same defense that put her son behind bars or will she have to come up with her own story? STS reviews old testimony and the latest as we try to better understand Donna's upcoming case and the murder of FSU Law Professor Dan Markel.. Welcome to Surviving The Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime. Emmy Award-Winning Host Joel Waldmans brings on #BestGuests: 2 top attorneys and a law professor to dig deeper into Donna's case and the murder of Dan Markel. Donna Adelson is set to face trial for the disturbing murder of father of two and Florida State law professor Dan Markel-- a case that has gripped the nation for more than decade. Prosecutors allege that Donna was a key player in the murder-for-hire plot that led to Markel’s 2014 shooting, a crime for which her son, Charlie Adelson, was convicted just two years ago. During his own trial, Charlie claimed the entire ordeal was nothing more than a bizarre “double extortion” scheme, but jurors didn’t buy it—and now his mother will stand before the court to face the very same charges. With the high-profile case returning to the spotlight, the community focuses in on the Leon County Courthouse as Donna's trial begins on August 19th. Dan Markel leaves behind a mother, a father, a sister and two sons. #JusticeforDanMarkel Thanks for being a part of #STSNation!
