Now that Donna Adelson has been convicted of murdering law professor Dan Markel, all eyes turn to her daughter, Wendi Adelson.
Markel was shot in his driveway on July 19, 2014. Prosecutors followed a maze of clues to two hitmen in Miami.

Prosecutors say Donna and her son Charlie Adelson hired the hitmen to kill Markel. Markel had been married to Wendi Adelson, Donna’s daughter and Charlie’s sister. Wendi and Markel were locked in a bitter custody battle, and prosecutors say Donna was afraid she would lose easy access to her grandchildren.
Charlie Adelson is now behind bars, sentenced to life in prison for his role in hiring hitmen to kill his brother-in-law, Dan Markel. Last fall authorities arrested Donna Adelson as she was about to board a flight to Vietnam. She is now facing her own charges in the murder of Dan Markel.
