Donna Adelson

Opening statements framed competing accounts of Donna Adelson's alleged role, followed by crime-scene and medical testimony about Dan Markel's shooting. Luis Rivera later testified under a cooperation agreement about the surveillance, shooting, and payment he described.

Foundation rulings on divorce-record evidence preceded testimony from Wendi and Robert Adelson and an officer who described a vehicle at a Trescott Drive roadblock.

Financial testimony preceded Magbanua's account of an alleged arrangement involving Charlie, payroll checks, and post-bump communications. Defense questioning addressed her prior false testimony and lack of direct contact with Donna; communication-record testimony followed.

Records testimony addressed 2014 travel and communications, followed by testimony on the 2016 undercover contact, wiretap recordings, and surveillance.

The court addressed late discovery before FBI Agent Patrick Sanford continued testimony about surveillance, recordings, and an undercover operation.

Sanford's testimony concluded, jail witnesses and records were presented, and the State rested.

The court denied the defense acquittal motion as the defense presented travel, communications, and jail-video testimony.

Defense witnesses addressed the family-law dispute, travel discussions, and a 2014 call. Donna Adelson declined to testify, both sides rested, and the court settled jury instructions.

Final instructions and closing arguments preceded guilty verdicts on all three counts; jurors confirmed the verdicts during polling.
