Donna Adelson just had the kind of week in court you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy—unless your last name happens to be Markel.
In this Big Breakdown, we take you inside the courtroom for a front-row seat to one of the most revealing stretches in Donna Adelson’s murder-for-hire trial. The prosecution came out swinging with bombshells that shook the courtroom—from incriminating testimony and surveillance clips to undercover FBI tactics that turned up the pressure. And Donna? Her reactions say just as much as her defense does.
This episode dives into why this past week might be a turning point in the case. We explore how the prosecution methodically dismantled the defense narrative, what psychological tells we saw from Donna in court, and what experts believe about the strategy behind both sides. It’s not just about what was said—it’s about what wasn’t said, and how the jury might interpret it.
Tony Brueski is joined by top-tier analysts and legal insiders to unpack the most damning testimony, the emotional tone in the courtroom, and the optics that could influence the outcome of the trial.
