Donna Adelson DEMANDS To Testify Her Innocence In Dan Markel Case

Donna Adelson DEMANDS To Testify Her Innocence In Dan Markel
Case

Most defendants avoid the stand. Donna Adelson wants to run to
it.
As her trial begins, Donna has told her legal team she intends to
testify — against the advice of experts, against the odds, and
against common sense. She believes she can sway a jury with her
words. But will her confidence come across as arrogance?

In this conversation with psychotherapist and author
Shavaun Scott, we dig into the psychology of
Donna Adelson — why someone accused of orchestrating a
murder-for-hire plot might be desperate to speak, how
overconfidence and even age-related decline can intensify
narcissistic traits, and why this move could be her
undoing.

But the trial isn’t just about Donna. The Adelson family has
collapsed around her. Charlie is in prison for life. Wendi is
keeping her distance. And Dan Markel’s teenage sons — now old
enough to understand every headline — are left to carry a legacy
of tragedy and fractured loyalty.

We explore how denial, rationalization, and control function
inside families like this — and how the ripple effects stretch
far beyond the courtroom. For Donna, the choice to testify could
shape her fate. For her grandchildren, the challenge will be
building an identity free from their family’s toxic name.

This is more than a murder trial. It’s a generational
reckoning.

the fallout it leaves behind.
