Donna Adelson’s legal team heads to court after 80,000 new files land just weeks before trial. Will the judge delay proceedings or force the defense to move forward as scheduled? #STSNation, Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime on trending criminal cases. This is the case that started it all — the murder-for-hire of FSU law professor Dan Markel. We’re going LIVE at 6 p.m. Eastern from Tallahassee as Donna Adelson returns to court. Her defense team is expected to argue that a last-minute discovery dump of 80,000 emails and files makes it impossible to go to trial on time. They’ve retained their own digital forensics expert, and the judge will now decide: delay or proceed? We break it all down in real time with two of the most respected legal voices in the country.
