Day 2 of the Donna Adelson murder trial happened on August 25, 2025. I break down the key testimonies of Donna Adelson's children- Wendi & Rob Adelson, and examine crucial evidence presented in court.

We delve into the "Grandma Motion" (Exhibit JJ) and its significance in the context of the contentious divorce between Wendi Adelson and the victim, Dan Markel. Discover how the prosecution used this exhibit to build their case regarding Donna's motive due to taking her "sunshines" away.

Explore the revealing Adelson family emails and communications that shed light on Donna's intense involvement in the divorce proceedings, her manipulative strategies, and her relentless pursuit of Wendi's relocation to South Florida.

Gain insight into Wendi Adelson's testimony, her frequent use of "I don't recall," and the cross-examination that challenged her credibility. Understand her perspective on feeling like an "actor in someone else's show" and her desire to "save face" with her family.

Hear Rob Adelson's powerful testimony about Donna's "overinvolved and controlling" nature and his crucial interactions with her after Dan Markel's murder and the subsequent arrests. Learn about Donna's advice to him not to speak with law enforcement and her lack of curiosity about who killed Dan Markel.

Finally, we touch upon the "interesting" behavior of a red Honda Odyssey observed at the crime scene and its potential significance.

Day 2 of the Donna Adelson trial paints a vivid picture of a highly dysfunctional family dynamic and presents a compelling narrative of motive and involvement.
