TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Court TV) — Some explosive new details were revealed when filings were made public following a brief hearing where
Donna Adelson appeared in court to ask a judge to allow her team to redepose some witnesses.
…
In the defense motion to take the depositions, which was redacted and unsealed following the hearing, Donna’s attorneys revealed that prosecutors disclosed “new” discovery on April 7, 2025. This discovery included previously undisclosed investigative work and wiretaps of conversations between a jailhouse informant and Donna’s husband, Harvey Adelson.
But Donna’s attorneys say that affidavits presented to the judge lied about the content of conversations between Donna and her husband and allege that among the false allegations were accusations “the Defendant and her spouse were engaged in conversations by use of the undersigned’s cell phone/watch to plan harm to Robert Adelson, Katherine Magbanua, and the mother of (a) jailhouse snitch.”
Donna’s attorneys want to know how the accusations could impact Robert’s potential testimony against his mother. They also want to depose Sgt. Chris Corbitt, who testified in Magbanua and Charlie’s trials about the wiretaps and phone records, about the timeline of the investigation.
