(Court TV) — A judge granted a request from Donna Adelson‘s defense team to delay her upcoming trial Adelson, 74, is charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation in the 2014 death of her ex-son-in-law, Dan Markel who appeared at a Wednesday hearing via Zoom was scheduled to go on trial beginning June 3 Donna Adelson appears in court for a pretrial hearing on Feb The defense sought a continuance because they say they need more time to review new discovery they’ve obtained through wiretaps and over 80,000 e-mails They also told Judge Stephen Everett that they’re waiting on discovery they’re entitled to under the rules of governing jailhouse informants that they have not yet received This includes whether anyone has been given favorable treatment in exchange for testimony as well as statements the prosecution wishes to elicit Judge Everett issued an order delaying the trial without setting a new date “No further continuances shall be granted without good cause presented.” Markel, an FSU law professor, was gunned down in his garage in what was eventually revealed to have been a murder-for-hire plot. Adelson’s son, Charlie Adelson was convicted of hiring two hitmen to carry out the killing MORE | FL v. Adelson: Dentist Mastermind Murder Trial Donna allegedly wanted Markel dead because he was in a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife Wendi Adelson over the couple’s two preschool-aged sons When Wendi’s petition to be allowed to relocate to the Miami area was denied by the court Donna reportedly became fixated on having her grandsons near her at any cost The judge also announced at Wednesday’s hearing that May 16 will be the deadline for filing motions He also stated that prosecutors have until Friday of this week to hand over to the defense all discovery related to the informants Earlier this month, a defense motion to have Judge Everett step down from the case was denied A previous defense request for a change in venue is still under consideration All three of this month’s defense motions were filed under seal so details have not yet been released to the public a group of Detroiters met to critique paintings over dinner and drinks The group eventually named themselves The Scarab Club the Detroit artists’ club and gallery has played an important part in the city’s art scene the club is still a resource for Detroit artists and maintains a mission of fostering a more vibrant arts community in the city is also focused on creating a space where art feels accessible—whether you're making it or looking at it Jackson is the first Black woman to manage the Scarab Club gallery in its 100-plus year history but she actually stumbled upon the Scarab Club by accident After visiting the Detroit Institute of Arts one day So she instead followed someone into a nearby building it was membership-based—it was all of these things,” she said Jackson was asked to do a workshop on resumes for the Scarab Club like literally part of the team,” Jackson said Jackson used drawing and art as a way to express herself That love of art was fostered by both her parents and her teachers in Detroit Public Schools But Jackson didn't initially see working in the art world as a viable career She also excelled at science and math in school when she became a freshman at Western Michigan University Jackson initially was intent on studying chemical engineering were always in the background sustaining me as I was doing these structural things that you're ‘supposed’ to do to create a career for yourself,” she said or that I could truly make a career in the arts.” Jackson spent most of her career in nonprofit work as a graphic designer and brand manager While working at the Houston Public Library in 2006 Jackson tried her hand at curating projects I would hear so much news about my hometown and a lot of the news was about Detroit coming back.” Jackson was excited to hear of the city’s revival who were Detroit culture creators and artists “I would never see them in the stories that I was seeing so I knew that the nation was getting not the whole story of Detroit,” she said and part of the way I did that was through developing projects that used art.” Jackson said she believes “art has this brand of being for a particular class of people She is proud of the way Detroit is breaking that brand and wants the Scarab Club to be part of that work “What we have been doing is making things like membership more accessible creating exhibitions that look and feel more like Metro Detroit,” Jackson explained “People like me becoming part of the team and that are Detroiters and Norman Rockwell have visited the Scarab Club Jackson is invested in telling their stories as well as the stories of the artists who are shaping Detroit today “One thing that I'm very interested in is more storytelling...sharing more stories about the artists of Detroit through the Scarab Club lens,” Jackson said “So many artists have come through those doors over these 100 years or 100-plus years but knowing those that came before and knowing extraordinary artists that are here now I want to help tell more of their stories.” 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 The state has also produced more than 30 calls from a wiretap in this new investigation and Zelman said they “have not had an opportunity to review even two hours of these calls.” it probably isn’t the best idea to have counsel listen to over 30 wiretapped calls at 4x speed like they’re cramming for a Crim Law final to be trial ready That’s not even factoring in the 100k+ emails Adelson and their counsel will know if they get the additional time or not very soon Slain Fla.

Assistant State Attorney Sarah Kathryn Dugan told Everett that prosecutors got a “lead” last fall that led to “this new discovery” in the Adelson case “We conducted this investigation and followed that investigation to its conclusion,” she said “That obviously has resulted in some new discovery in these wire calls.” Dugan added that the wiretap "went down" on Feb 21 and that law enforcement intercepted about 30 phone calls “The state likely likely plans to use maybe one or two at trial and believes that the two months that the defense had from the time it was discovered to the time of trial in June should be sufficient to prepare for that portion of the trial.”  Zelman countered that more than 32 hours of calls were captured by the wiretap and that the defense hasn’t had time to review even two hours of the calls “There’s not enough time for us to analyze this new information, synthesize it and prepare appropriate motions,” he said. “We’ve spent the last three weeks dealing with this, as opposed to finalizing motions in limine.” Everett asked Dugan whether the state would suffer any prejudice were the trial to be delayed conspiracy and solicitation in the 2014 contract killing of FSU law professor Dan Markel She was supposed to go on trial in September 2024 but that proceeding blew up on the first day of jury selection bowed out over conflicts involving his previous representation of her son who was convicted in 2023 on the same charges his mother faces and sentenced to life in prison Everett later disqualified two other attorneys from representing Adelson The June trial date was set after Adelson hired her current lawyers Zelman also said the defense is wading through more than 100,000 Adelson-related emails that it received over the past few weeks Dugan said those emails consist of “redacted privileged communications” between Adelson and her previous attorneys and that they have never been seen by prosecutors and won’t be used at trial But Zelman said some of the emails could pertain to Donna Adelson’s decision to try to fly to Vietnam in 2023 shortly after her son Adelson was arrested at Miami International Airport as she tried to board the flight with her husband Dugan mentioned during the hearing that the state had subpoenaed Harvey Adelon’s account on Zelle a noted Tallahassee defense attorney and former federal prosecutor said the new investigation marked a significant development in the case and would likely lead to a continuance an informant or someone gave the state information that there was maybe obstruction tampering with a witness or other crimes involved He noted that a judge signed off on the wiretap after prosecutors filed affidavits explaining that they couldn’t get the information any other way privileged attorney-client conversations are supposed to be filtered out the judge is going to have no choice but to give a continuance,” Jansen said “Because when (the defense) tells the judge we can’t be prepared and we can’t file motions that’s a lack of due process for the defendant the 1st District Court of Appeal ruled against the defense in its attempt to boot Everett off the case The defense last month filed motions in state court to disqualify Everett the defense appealed that decision to the 1st DCA The appellate court on April 28 ruled against a motion to determine confidentiality calling it “overly broad.” The court allowed the defense to file an amended motion signed an order during Wednesday's hearing to unseal documents and recordings from the wiretap for

850-599-2180 As City Council members probe allegations surrounding an “illegal gun registry” at Jacksonville City Hall the Mayor’s Office is declining to speak after being asked to appear voluntarily What is known: There has been a requirement since 2023 for people carrying guns into Jacksonville’s public buildings to put their names addresses and identifying information on what critics are dubbing a gun registry What isn’t known fully: who was responsible for said registry The Mayor’s Office isn’t saying much And City Council members want to probe it internally The City Council Rules Committee explored that question The General Counsel talked to legislators about the registry which allegedly was maintained for nearly two years at both City Hall and the Yates Building by First Coast Security Rules Chair Nick Howland cited Florida Statutes 790.335 noting these actions could lead to a third degree felony and a $5 million fine General Counsel Michael Fackler noted potential “serious consequences” for breach of the law and said the Mayor’s Office was made aware of the issue on April 21 of this year A day later, subpoenas were served on the Mayor’s Office’s outside counsel at the Bedell Firm, which employs his father-in-law Hank Coxe Fackler believes it is an investigative subpoena because criminal lawyers were needed for “the full panoply” of possibilities “There are potentially significant sanctions as a result of the investigation,” he said Matt Carlucci wondered if the “tough little Mayor” was “guilty” and if Deegan initiated the registry; Fackler noted the investigation is “ongoing.” “I don’t get the feeling that this is something she blindly went into to enforce,” he said “I had a feeling there was no guilt yet because the due process of law hasn’t been exercised yet.” He believes it’s “extremely unfair” that people say Deegan is guilty because she hasn’t “had a chance to prove her innocence,” and urged people to be “careful” before blaming her for a practice underway for nearly two years since her inauguration saying the city charter allows for Council subpoenas a salient fact given that the Mayor’s Office did not voluntarily attend the meeting “We clearly have the ability to investigate this,” Salem said likening it to the JEA sale attempt that was probed half a decade ago who has been at odds with legislators since soon after they confirmed him in 2023 urged the City Council not to investigate the issue Jimmy Peluso said he was disappointed that Howland talked to the media saying a “shade” meeting was more appropriate a shade meeting was held to discuss the permitless carry law that went into effect at the beginning of that month and “what this government was going to do” about “the security plan.” It’s just not,” said the strong ally of the executive branch who claimed no one objected to the list of gun owners back then “We learned about it in 2023 and none of you said anything This is how I know it’s a total sham,” Peluso said “I’d caution us to be careful about who knew what when,” Fackler said given the statute and the opening for “criminal or civil liability” if people spoke about this on the public record the General Counsel of Florida Carry who is known for his staunch defense of the Second Amendment was one of several citizens who criticized the list of lawful gun owners exercising their permitless carry rights He urged a “full and complete” probe by the State Attorney and wants the City Council to crack down on the “felonious conduct” that abridged citizens’ rights to attend public meetings and enter public buildings without putting their names on a list Attorney General James Uthmeier and former Mayor Lenny Curry have spoken out against the alleged list making The Mayor has said the “policy in question was created and written before Mayor Deegan took office.” A.G.

Bob Costas covered his first Derby after being promised he wouldn't be called upon to act as an expert on the sport he'd never covered.  "About an hour and a half before the Kentucky Derby we had this massive deluge," Brothers said "All of our (communications) went down Nobody's microphones or cameras were working The only person who has any communication is Bob Costas The 2019 broadcast forced everyone to manage a 24-minute stewards' inquiry on live television "when we thought we might lose the Kentucky Derby altogether we had it on the first Saturday in September It was surreal to be there live because we didn't have a live audience of fans It was also very interesting and memorable for lots of good reasons There was also the reality of loss for many people who didn't get to the Derby." Brothers said she loves the immediacy of her horseback reporting "I'm in a position to talk to the jockey right after the race while they're still in their heart and before they have a chance to really start to intellectualize what happened," she said My first question is never going to be tell me about your trip We try to capture that (emotion) and bring it into the living rooms of people who are watching across the United States and elsewhere." "one of the things that Donna tries to do is make 'em cry right away which is easy to do after winning the Kentucky Derby." The most memorable interviews for Brothers "are probably the ones that are memorable for the viewers who is nothing but raw emotion and doesn't know how to be anything other than raw emotion He really expresses what is coursing through his veins."
