As of November 11, 2023, the latest update on the investigation into Dan Markel’s murder is that Charlie Adelson, Markel’s ex-brother-in-law, was found guilty of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation for the death of Markel. Adelson was accused of being the ringleader behind the hit and became the fourth person to be found guilty in the conspiracy to murder Markel. The trial of Charlie Adelson was a pivotal moment in the ongoing investigation, shedding light on the motive behind the murder and the people behind it. It is unclear if there will be any further developments in the case, but legal observers suggest that Charlie Adelson may not be the last person to go down for the murder.
Background
The Dan Markel case involves the murder of a Florida State University law professor, Daniel Eric Markel, who was shot point-blank in the head on July 18, 2014, in the garage of his suburban home after dropping his two young sons off at school. The case has been ongoing since then, and several people have been sentenced in connection with the case, including the two hitmen who killed Markel and Katherine Magbanua, who acted as a go-between connecting the hitmen with Charlie Adelson, Markel’s ex-brother-in-law. Charlie Adelson was recently convicted of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation for the death of Markel. The motive behind the murder was a custody battle between Markel and his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson, who has testified in the trial of her brother, Charlie Adelson. The investigation into the murder has been a complex and lengthy process, and legal observers suggest that Charlie Adelson may not be the last person to go down for the murder.
