  • Adelson Case Week In Review: Charlie's Appeal Arguments, Donna's Prison Transfer, and the Wendi Question

    Adelson Case Week In Review: Charlie's Appeal Arguments, Donna's Prison Transfer, and the Wendi Question
    Jan 12 2026

    Everything we covered this week on the Adelson case — Charlie's appeal heading to oral arguments, Donna's transfer to South Florida, and the question that won't go away.

    On February 3rd, 2026, Florida's First District Court of Appeal will hear oral arguments in Charlie Adelson's bid to overturn his life sentence. His 91-page brief makes four main arguments, but the numbers tell the story: of 130 potential jurors interviewed, 96 had heard of the case. Of the 54 who formed an opinion, 53 believed Charlie was guilty before the trial started. His attorneys argue pretrial publicity made a fair trial impossible. They also claim defense attorney Dan Rashbaum was compromised by a conflict of interest — the same conflict that blew up Donna's trial when Charlie revoked his waiver the morning jury selection was set to begin.

    Donna Adelson has been transferred from the Ocala reception center to Homestead Correctional Institution in Miami-Dade County — exactly where her defense requested at sentencing, close to her husband Harvey. She's filed her own notice of appeal. Mother and son, both serving life, fighting through the same appellate court, neither willing to testify for the other. This is the quiet phase of justice. No cameras. No jury. Just paperwork, precedent, and a five percent success rate.

    Charlie is in South Dakota after a 2024 security transfer. Katherine Magbanua remains at Lowell Annex. Five people convicted. Eleven years from murder to final judgment.

    And Wendi Adelson — identified by prosecutors as an unindicted co-conspirator, testified under limited immunity at every trial, consistently denied involvement, never charged. State Attorney Jack Campbell said decisions would come "in the coming weeks." Months later, the Markel family still waits.

  • Charlie Adelson Appeal: February 2026 Oral Arguments — Everything You Need to Know

    Charlie Adelson Appeal: February 2026 Oral Arguments — Everything You Need to Know
    Jan 6 2026
    Charlie Adelson will be back in a Florida courtroom on February 3rd, 2026 — but this time, it's not a trial. It's an appeal. His attorneys have filed a 91-page brief with Florida's First District Court of Appeal arguing that his conviction for the murder of Dan Markel should be reversed. The core claims: Leon County was so saturated with pretrial publicity that an impartial jury was impossible; potential jurors were caught discussing the case after being instructed not to; text messages that could have supported his defense were improperly excluded; and his attorney Dan Rashbaum operated under a conflict of interest that compromised his representation. That conflict is the same one Charlie invoked to blow up his mother Donna Adelson's trial in September 2024 — when he revoked his waiver on the morning jury selection was set to begin, forcing Rashbaum to withdraw and Donna to find new counsel.

    Now Charlie is arguing the conflict hurt him too. Donna, convicted in September 2025 and sentenced to life, has filed her own notice of appeal. Her full brief hasn't been submitted yet. Both Adelsons are now fighting through the appellate system — separately, silently, and with slim odds of success. This episode covers the legal arguments, the timeline, and what realistically happens next in the final legal chapter of the Markel case.

  • Donna Adelson: Cracks, Clues, and the Moment She Slipped | 2025 True Crime

    Donna Adelson: Cracks, Clues, and the Moment She Slipped | 2025 True Crime
    Jan 3 2026
    In this 2025 Year-in-Review Hidden Killers special, we bring together the two most explosive pillars of the case against Donna Adelson: the alleged long-term orchestration of a murder-for-hire plot — and the undercover “bump” that may have exposed her entire operation in a single moment.

    Tony Brueski sits down with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis, along with retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke, to deliver the most complete psychological and legal breakdown of Donna Adelson we’ve produced yet.

    We start with the big question hanging over the entire trial:
    Was Donna Adelson the mastermind — or a woman unraveling under the weight of her own control?

    From her children’s emotionally distant testimony, to the 44 paychecks she allegedly signed for the intermediary, to the one-way ticket to Vietnam waiting in her drawer, the case is stacked with bizarre behavior, shifting loyalties, and damning digital evidence.
    Then we go to the moment everything cracked: the undercover FBI “bump.”
    When investigators handed Donna a flyer implying someone “knew everything,” she didn’t panic. She didn’t break. She didn’t even call her husband.
    Instead — just 22 minutes later — she quietly phoned her son Charlie. The money flow to the alleged conspirators stopped instantly.

    Robin Dreeke dissects this reaction, explaining why the lack of visible fear might be the most incriminating behavior of all. A normal grandmother would freeze. Donna recalibrated. And that, he says, is the psychological tell investigators look for.

    Together, these revelations paint a portrait of a woman who prosecutors claim coordinated, concealed, and controlled every variable — until the moment one piece of paper hit her lap and her mask slipped.

    Is Donna Adelson a misunderstood mother caught in chaos?
    Or the architect of a conspiracy now collapsing around her?
