Florida Woman Indicted for Murder in Connection with Son's Conviction

Donna Adelson, the mother of Charlie Adelson who was recently convicted in the murder of Dan Markel, has been indicted for first-degree murder and conspiracy and solicitation in Markel's death. Adelson was arrested as she and her husband attempted to flee the country to Vietnam. The couple had booked one-way tickets after their son's conviction. Adelson is currently being held without bond and will be transferred to the Leon County Detention Facility. Prosecutors intend to use her attempted flight against her. Markel, a law professor, was shot in 2014 following a bitter divorce and custody battle with Adelson's daughter.
