Jury selection has commenced in the trial of Donna Adelson, a 75-year-old South Florida matriarch charged with orchestrating the 2014 murder-for-hire of her ex-son-in-law, Daniel Markel. Markel was a Florida State University law professor who was fatally shot in his Tallahassee garage during a custody dispute involving Adelson's daughter, Wendi. The trial includes allegations that Adelson, along with her son, conspired to hire hitmen to carry out the killing. Opening statements have been heard, with Adelson attempting to block testimony from a jailhouse informant. The case has drawn attention due to the high-profile nature of the victim and the family dynamics involved.
