#STSNation, 

Welcome to another episode of Surviving The Survivor, the podcast that brings you the #BestGuests in all of True Crime… 

In a bombshell development, the trial of Donna Adelson, accused in the 2014 murder-for-hire killing of Dan Markel, went off the rails on the first day of jury selection after her lead attorney, Dan Rashbaum of Miami, withdrew over conflicts of interest. 

Rashbaum represented Adelson's son, Charlie Adelson, who was convicted last year on murder charges and sentenced to life in prison. Donna Adelson opted to hire Rashbaum represent her despite the fact that her legal needs may be at odds with those of her son, who has an appeal pending with the 1st District Court of Appeal. 

After Rashbaum’s move Tuesday afternoon, Leon Circuit Judge Stephen Everett announced that the trial will be continued and that prospective jurors would be sent home. 

Now Dona has a new set of attorneys …

#STSNation, 

Welcome to another episode of Surviving The Survivor, the podcast that brings you the #BestGuests in all of True Crime… 

Just three weeks after Donna Adelson’s murder trial unexpectedly unraveled when her lead lawyer withdrew, the judge presiding over the case ordered that her two new attorneys can’t represent her either. 

Leon Circuit Judge Stephen Everett on Monday issued an order disqualifying Robert “Alex” Morris and Adam Komisar over actual and potential conflicts of interest. 

The order marked another twist in the murder of Dan Markel, the 41-year-old Florida State law professor and father of two who was fatally shot at his home on July 18, 2014. The two hired killers, an accomplice and Adelson’s son, Charlie Adelson, have all been convicted on murder charges in the years since.
