#STSNation, 

Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime on trending criminal cases and this story is one that is close to our hearts. 

It’s the case that started it all for STS — the shocking murder-for-hire of FSU law professor Dan Markel. And we've been covering #JusticeforDanMarkel for a while now... 

Convicted killer Charlie Adelson has filed a 91-page appeal seeking to overturn his life sentence — even as his mother, Donna Adelson, awaits trial and a new investigation is unfolding behind the scenes. Charlie Adelson is the brother of Wendi Adelson, Dan Markel's ex-wife, who was in the middle of a custody battle when Dan Markel was shot and killed after pulling into the driveway of his Tallahassee, Florida home in 2014. Charlie Adelson was convicted of hiring Latin King gang members to take out his ex brother-in-law, Dan Markel.
