Donna Adelson returns to court with new defense team for murder trial


Donna Adelson is expected back in court Tuesday with a new legal team.

She hired Tallahassee criminal defense attorneys Joshua Zelman and Jackie Fulford to defend her.

Adelson is facing charges for the 2014 murder of FSU Law Professor, Dan Markel.

Her trial was originally expected to start in September, but it was paused over conflict-of-interest concerns.

The new legal team comes after attorney Dan Rashbaum withdrew from the case back in September. He left the case due to his prior representation of Charlie Adelson, who is currently serving a life sentence.

Donna is one of 5 people who have already been arrested in the murder-for-hire case of Markel.

4 of which are currently serving prison sentences.
