Donna Adelson Trial: Katherine Magbanua Testifies Against Donna Adelson in Emotional Turn
The day ended with dramatic testimony from
Katherine Magbanua, once accused of being the crucial link between the Adelson family and the hired killers. Now serving her own conviction in the case, Magbanua took the stand in the
Trial of Donna Adelson and delivered a raw, emotional account of why she finally decided to tell the truth. “The truth needed to come out and the people responsible needed to be arrested,” she declared.
Magbanua admitted that she had lied in the past, protecting herself and others, but explained that after her conviction she saw no reason to keep the cover-up alive. Her testimony directly implicated Donna, describing how the family pulled strings and kept payments flowing to ensure silence. For jurors, this was the voice of someone once inside the conspiracy—now turning against its alleged mastermind.
Her words mattered not just for their content, but for their delivery. Magbanua’s emotional clarity carried the weight of lived experience. She was no longer denying, no longer dodging—she was naming Donna Adelson as the orchestrator. In a trial filled with theories and circumstantial evidence, Magbanua gave jurors something far more dangerous: a firsthand account of complicity, regret, and accusation.
