Will Donna Adelson Crumble On The Stand In Her New Trial?

True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast

On "Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the upcoming trial of Donna Adelson, the mother of Charlie and Wendi Adelson, and mother-in-law of the murdered Dan Markel. The conversation focuses on the complex and allegedly toxic family dynamics within the Adelson family, which may have contributed to the murder-for-hire plot against Markel. Scott explains the concept of an enmeshed family, where a dominant personality, like Donna, may exert overwhelming control over family members, making them act according to her wishes. The podcast raises questions about Donna's involvement, especially considering financial transactions linked to the hitman were made from the family’s business account and signed by Donna. The discussion also explores the psychological underpinnings of such behavior, suggesting that a blend of narcissism and extreme control could be driving these actions. Scott and Brueski speculate on the potential outcomes of the trial and whether further charges could be brought against other family members, such as Harvey or Wendi Adelson. The conversation underscores the importance of recognizing unhealthy family dynamics and their potential for leading to extreme actions.
