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

    Charlie Adelson Appeal: February 2026 Oral Arguments — Everything You Need to Know
    2026/01/06
    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
    2026/01/03
    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?

  • Wendi Freezes, Robert Speaks: The Adelson Kids Break Silence | 2025 True Crime

    Wendi Freezes, Robert Speaks: The Adelson Kids Break Silence | 2025 True Crime
    2026/01/02
    In today’s explosive Hidden Killers breakdown, we examine the testimony that has completely reshaped the Donna Adelson trial — testimony not from police, not from experts, but from Donna’s own children, whose words now carry some of the greatest weight in the courtroom.

    First, we turn to Wendi Adelson, whose strategy has the courtroom buzzing. While her brother Robert delivered blunt, precise answers, Wendi leaned heavily on one phrase:
    “I don’t remember.”
     Again. And again. And again.

    But is this selective memory a trauma response from years of family pressure, manipulation, and emotional control?
    Or is it a carefully crafted shield — a strategic fog meant to protect herself, the family, and possibly Donna?

    Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to dissect Wendi’s demeanor in real time, explaining how adult children of dominant or narcissistic parents often split — one breaking free and telling the truth, the other staying entangled in loyalty, denial, or fear. Jurors watch every pause. Every hesitation. Every dodge. And Shavaun breaks down exactly what those signals mean.

    Then we shift to Robert Adelson, whose testimony landed like a hammer. Clinical. Direct. Brutally honest. He described Donna’s controlling tendencies, her intrusion into major life decisions, and her eerie lack of concern after Dan Markel’s murder. His words were not defensive. They were revelatory.

    Defense Attorney Eric Faddis joins Tony to analyze how jurors absorb testimony when it comes straight from a defendant’s own children — one distancing herself through “I don’t remember,” the other stepping into the sunlight with uncomfortable truth.

    Is this character evidence — or is it motive crystallized?
    Are we watching a family fracture, or a family finally telling the truth about its own internal gravity?

    This isn’t just testimony.
    This is the Adelson family dynamic cracked open in front of a jury — loyalty, fear, denial, resentment, and survival all colliding in real time.
