@meghannmcuniff: Stephen Everett has been a judge since 2016 and a judge in Leon County Circuit Court in Tallahassee, Florida, since 2019. He earned his law degree from Louisiana State University and has worked as a public defender and district attorney. He's currently the chief judge in Leon County, and he's presiding over the case of Donna Adelson, who's charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder and solicitation of murder. He questioned potential jurors on Thursday (August 21) before the selected jurors were sworn in, and he tried to keep it light while also being serious. Adelson, the 75-year-old matriarch of a wealthy Florida family, is charged in the 2014 homicide of her former son-in-law Dan Markel, a Florida State University law professor and the ex-husband of her daughter, Wendi. Adelson is accused of conspiring with her son, Charlie Adelson, to hire hitmen to kill Markel in July 2014. Opening statements are underway today (Friday, August 22, day 1). #donnaadelson #truecrime #law #legal #crime #court

Shouldn’t get to pick people like this. It should be random people and what you get is what you get

She accepted the jury. After she’s convicted, she’ll complain she didn’t like the jury and wasn’t given a fair chance. That’s what her son did.

Wouldn’t they want the jurors to remain anonymous during the trial?

He is funny and the jurors are too. It’s nice that he gave them this moment of levity before they embark on such a heavy journey.

Jill 🎀 :
I have watched this case but what actual evidence do they have against her? Like I know there was a phone call to her son. But what is it? To say she was aware of the hit?
