🧨 LIVE | Charlie Adelson Appeals Murder Conviction — First DCA Oral Arguments

On Tuesday, February 3, 2026, the Florida First District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee will hear oral arguments in Charlie Adelson’s appeal of his first-degree murder conviction in the killing of Florida State University law professor Dan Markel. Adelson was convicted in 2023 for his role in the 2014 murder-for-hire plot, which prosecutors argued stemmed from the Adelson family’s anger over Markel’s refusal to allow his children to be relocated to South Florida following his divorce from Wendi Adelson. The State alleged Charlie helped finance and facilitate the plot, with Sigfredo Garcia as the shooter, Katherine Magbanua as the intermediary, and Luis Rivera later pleading guilty and testifying about the planning and execution. Adelson’s mother, Donna Adelson, has also been charged and was convicted September 4, 2025 and was sentenced to LWOP + 30 years for her role. ⚖️ Charlie Adelson’s Appeal Adelson argues he was denied a fair trial, focusing on jury-related issues and trial court error, including: 👉 The trial court’s refusal to change venue despite extensive pretrial publicity and alleged juror bias 👉 The court’s denial of motions to strike the jury panel after jurors admitted discussing the case and expressing opinions about guilt 👉 The exclusion of text messages the defense says would have shown normal communication and provided context 👉 The exclusion of a recorded extortion-related phone call, which the defense argues was critical to Adelson’s state of mind 👉 The cumulative effect of these rulings, which the defense says warrants a new trial Adelson is seeking reversal of his conviction or a new trial. State's response: ⚖️ The State’s Response to Charlie Adelson’s Appeal 👉 The State argues Adelson’s change of venue claim was waived, noting the defense failed to file a required written motion, did not submit supporting affidavits, and ultimately accepted the jury without objection, which under Florida law forfeits the issue 👉 The State contends the trial court properly denied the motion to strike the jury panel, asserting that isolated juror comments did not contaminate the entire venire and that Adelson failed to preserve the issue by not renewing the objection before the jury was sworn 👉 Regarding excluded text messages, the State argues the defense never properly offered specific texts into evidence, attempted to introduce hundreds of irrelevant and inflammatory messages at once, and failed to show how the excluded material would have affected the verdict 👉 The State maintains the trial court correctly excluded the alleged extortion phone call, arguing it was inadmissible hearsay, did not qualify for a state-of-mind exception, and that Adelson was still able to testify about the substance of the call at trial 👉 On cumulative error, the State argues that because Adelson failed to establish any individual reversible error, there can be no cumulative error warranting a new trial 👩‍⚖️ Panel of Judges Lori S.
