Donna Adelson Hires The Same Lawyer Who Unsuccessfully Represented Her Son Charlie In Dan Markel Murder Case

WCTV, Donna Adelson Hires Same Lawyer Who Represented Her Son in Dan Markel Murder Case:

Adelson (Donna Mug Shot 2)Donna Adelson has hired a new defense team to represent her as she faces charges of murder, conspiracy and solicitation in the 2014 murder of her former son-in-law, FSU law professor Dan Markel.

Documents posted by the Leon County Clerk Tuesday show Adelson will now be represented by Daniel Rashbaum, the same attorney who represented her son Charlie Adelson at trial, as well as Tallahassee-based attorney Alex Morris.

They’ll replace Adelson’s previous defense attorney Marissel Descalzo.

“Donna Adelson is a mother, grandmother and wife. She is not guilty of the crimes with which she is charged. She has never participated in any criminal conspiracy and certainly not one where the object was to kill Dan Markel,” Morris said in a statement released Tuesday.
