Judge Warns Donna Adelson About ‘Lack Of Remorse’

Donna Adelson maintained her innocence at her sentencing in Tallahassee, Florida today (Monday, October 13) for the 2014 murder-for-hire of her former son-in-law, Dan Markel. Judge Stephen Everett interrupted and warned her he can consider her “utter lack of remorse” when sentencing her. He went on to sentence her to life in prison without the possibility of parole, which he was required to do for the first-degree murder conviction, then sentenced her to an additional 30 years for solicitation of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. Case background: Adelson was accused of conspiring with her son Charlie Adelson more than a decade ago to hire hitmen to kill Dan Markel, who was a Florida State University law professor and the father of her two young grandsons. Her defense was that she had no knowledge of what hitmen Luis Rivera and Sigfredo Garcia were going to do, and that prosecutors are only focusing on her hatred for Markel to show she had a motive to want him murdered, when there’s no evidence she was actually involved. Rivera, a former gang leader, is serving a 19-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to second-degree murder and testifying against Garcia, who fired the fatal shots, as well as the woman who linked Garcia to the victim: Katherine “Katie” Magbanua, who was Garcia’s on-again, off-again girlfriend and also was in a relationship with Adelson’s son Charlie Adelson. Garcia was convicted in 2019 and Magbanua in 2022. Rivera also testified in Charlie Adelson’s trial in 2023, and Adelson was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. After their son’s trial, Donna Adelson and her husband, Harvey, bought one-way tickets to Vietnam. Police arrested her on the jetway at Miami International Airport.
