As Donna Adelson awaits trial in the murder-for-hire plot of Dan Markel, explosive new motions seek to suppress key testimony. Meanwhile, disturbing jail logs suggest a potential mental health breakdown behind bars
Welcome to Surviving the Survivor — the podcast that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime.
Tonight, we break down stunning new developments in the Donna Adelson case:
• A motion to suppress testimony from Sara Yousuf, a former friend of Wendi Adelson, who says Donna called Dan “a jerk” shortly after his murder.
• A separate legal push to block Stephen Webster, Dan’s post-divorce attorney, from testifying about alleged comments and family dynamics.
• And perhaps most shocking: new jail logs suggest Donna has been pacing her cell naked and laughing to herself, raising questions about her mental state and trial readiness.
The trial is now set for August, but the legal chess match is heating up fast.
• R. Timothy Jansen, famed Tallahassee criminal defense attorney & former federal prosecutor
• Professor Jo Potuto, Professor Emerita, University of Nebraska College of Law, constitutional and criminal law expert
Join us as we cut through the legal noise and get to the truth behind the headlines.
