Donna Adelson's trial connected to the murder of Dan Markel is encountering numerous delays, mainly due to the overwhelming amount of discovery material provided by the prosecution. Just recently, her defense team received over 100,000 emails, requiring them to invest in new software to manage them effectively. Additionally, the state has supplied over 30 wiretap recordings, complicating the defense's preparation further. Adelson's attempts to remove the judge and address conflicts with previous counsel have also added hurdles, leading her to request the trial's postponement until a thorough review can be completed.
The former mother-in-law of slain Florida law professor Dan Markel asked Wednesday to delay her trial on charges she helped orchestrate his murder, citing copious discovery produced in recent weeks by the prosecution.
In the last two weeks, they have received more than 100,000 emails and have had to purchase software to try to go through them quickly, Zelman said. The state has also produced more than 30 calls from a wiretap in this new investigation.
