"High-Stakes Trial Unfolds: Alleged Mastermind Faces Justice in Law Professor's Murder"

The trial has begun for Charlie Adelson, the former brother-in-law of murdered FSU Law professor Dan Markel. Two hitmen, Sigfredo Garcia and Luis Rivera, were hired to kill Markel in 2014 as part of a custody dispute involving Markel's ex-wife, Wendi Adelson. Rivera implicated Katherine Magbanua, Garcia's ex and the mother of his children, as the intermediary who set up the hit. Magbanua was recently sentenced to life in prison, but hints suggest she may be ready to cooperate with prosecutors. With new evidence and technology, authorities have now charged Charlie Adelson in connection with the murder.
