"Pro-Palestine Protesters Disrupt UC Berkeley Law Professor's Dinner, Sparking Free Speech Debate"

A dinner for graduating law students at UC Berkeley turned into a free speech controversy when a pro-Palestinian student was confronted by law professor Catherine Fisk while delivering an unsanctioned speech. The student and a group of protesters were eventually asked to leave the event hosted by Fisk and her spouse, law school dean Erwin Chemerinsky. The incident has sparked debate over free speech, Islamophobia, and antisemitism on college campuses, with the university chancellor expressing support for free speech but condemning the use of a private residence for protest.

Former Mother-In-Law of Murdered Law Professor Arrested at Airport

Donna Adelson, the former mother-in-law of murdered law professor Dan Markel, has been arrested at Miami International Airport on charges of conspiracy to commit murder, solicitation of murder, and first-degree murder. Her arrest comes after the recent conviction of Markel's ex-brother-in-law, Charlie Adelson, for masterminding the murder-for-hire plot. Donna Adelson's arrest is believed to be connected to her involvement in the plot, which stemmed from a custody battle between Markel and his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson. Donna Adelson had purchased one-way tickets to Vietnam, prompting authorities to act quickly to prevent her potential escape. She is currently being held without bail.

"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.
