Donna & Charlie Adelson Behind Bars: Tantrums, Tablets, and Toe Trauma-WEEK IN REVIEW

Dan Markel was murdered in 2014 in one of the most shocking custody-related hit jobs in American legal history. Now that two of the key players—Donna and Charlie Adelson—are behind bars, how are they handling it?

Spoiler: Not well.

In this voice-driven episode of Hidden Killers, we pull the curtain back on life behind bars for the once-powerful Adelsons. Donna’s jailhouse meltdown just nine days after her conviction is fully documented in prison logs—loud sobbing, door-pounding, and furious rants about judges and jurors, all while she unknowingly feeds jailhouse informants.

Meanwhile, Charlie Adelson, convicted of murder, has his own jailhouse drama. Caught on video by Spill the Crime Tea, Charlie explodes over his big toe being run over by a jail door. He spews racial slurs, berates staff, then folds like a lawn chair when a lieutenant arrives.

This isn’t a story of redemption. It’s the unraveling of a family that thought the rules didn’t apply to them.

We dig into:
– The official jail logs documenting Donna’s outbursts
– Charlie’s unhinged toe tirade caught on camera
– What these behaviors tell us about entitlement, narcissism, and collapse
– How the Adelsons are adjusting—or failing to—in the harsh reality of incarceration

Welcome to the downfall. No more dental dynasty. Just inmate numbers, cold walls, and tablets that barely charge.

Watch now and decide for yourself: are the Adelsons victims of injustice, or just finally out of excuses?
