Donna Adelson emails
Written communications from Donna Adelson spanning 2012 to 2013 express hostility toward Dan Markel and characterize relocation — apparently involving Wendi Adelson and the children — as non-negotiable. A mention in the prosecution's opening statement at the Charlie Adelson trial also attributed to these emails a suggestion of a million-dollar bribe. In the Donna Adelson trial, the emails were discussed during a defense motion for judgment of acquittal.
About
The emails appear in two separate trials as a record of Donna Adelson's stated animus toward Markel and a financial reference consistent with the prosecution's conspiracy narrative. Their presence in the prosecution opening statement in the Charlie Adelson trial and in the defense acquittal motion in the Donna Adelson trial reflects their contested weight across proceedings.
