Phil Markel stunned the courtroom with a mic-drop moment that left Donna Adelson rattled—and now he’s breaking his silence with more powerful words. 

Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #truecrime. In this STS special, Emmy Award-Winning Host Joel Waldman interviews Phil Markel, Dan's father. 

In this new STS interview, Dan Markel’s father, Phil Markel, opens up about what he really thinks of the Adelson family, his son’s senseless murder, and the devastating impact of Donna Adelson’s trial. During his unforgettable victim impact statement, Phil delivered last words to Donna that shook the courtroom, a moment many called a “mic drop” that visibly rattled her. Now, he has even more to say about justice for Dan Markel, the Florida State University law professor who was brutally murdered in his Tallahassee home in 2014 in a murder-for-hire plot. With Charlie Adelson already convicted and serving a life sentence, and Donna Adelson recently found guilty in her own trial, Phil makes it clear that the fight for full justice is far from over. This powerful update is a must-watch for anyone following the Dan Markel case, the Adelson family trials, and the pursuit of justice that continues to captivate true crime audiences.

We would like to recommend the Jordan Harbinger Show. The podcast dives into the minds of fascinating guests and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Former friends of the Adelson family turned against them in court as they testified in trials to paint a clearer picture of who the Adelsons really are--and what their intentions were. Ryan Fitzpatrick and Yindra Velazquez took the stand with testimony against Donna Adelson—convicted of orchestrating the murder of her former son-in-law Dan Markel—and Charlie Adelson, convicted as her co-conspirator in the murder-for-hire plot. Once part of their circle, these witnesses now expose the shocking truths that continue to unravel the Adelson legacy. This trial is another step closer to justice for Dan Markel, but the road to full justice may not be over yet...

Donna Adelson isn’t done fighting. Just days after being convicted on September 4th for the brutal murder of her ex–son-in-law, Dan Markel, Adelson and her defense team have filed an explosive 18-page motion for a new trial. In it, they question jurors and say they want to interview them about their conduct and verdict. The motion also points fingers at the jail informants and allege the trial itself was unfair from the start. Once the controlling matriarch of the Adelson family, Donna is now battling for her freedom behind bars—her latest legal move raising new questions about whether justice for Dan Markel will finally stand, or if the courtroom drama is far from over. 

Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #Bestguests in all of #truecrime. In this STS episode, Emmy Award-Winning Host Joel Waldman brings on Attorney Tim Jansen, Law Professor Jo Potuto and Justice for Dan's Jared Ross to discuss the latest motions and if any of will stick.

They had it all…until they decided to hire a hitman. Was it worth it? Who really wins when a family is built on lies, control, and crime?

With Donna Adelson convicted for the shocking murder of her ex-son-in-law Dan Markel, all eyes now shift to Wendi Adelson and her possible role in this brutal family crime. In this special STS episode, we hear from two men who knew Dan best: his divorce attorney Stephen Webster—one of the last people to ever speak to Dan before he was gunned down—and his former student-turned-attorney Louis Jean-Baptiste. Now law partners, the pair were first introduced by Dan himself, and they’re coming together to reveal untold details about Dan’s life, his battles with the Adelsons, and what may really have led to his murder. With Donna and Charlie Adelson both behind bars, the big question remains: is Wendi Adelson next? #JusticeForDan
