What happened to her case management hearing on October 14th. Strange but maybe now she can get settled into her new home for the rest of her life.

Usually the sentencing is weeks after the last case management hearing. They are speeding things up before the end of the year is my guess. Wendi’s arrest is soon I’d say.

I don't know why her lawyers wanted to buy time. The sentence for Count 1 is a mandatory life sentence. Jesus himself could come to speak on her behalf and she'd still get life. Any sentence above 10 years is a life sentence anyway. JMO

Wasn't the judge ready to sentence at the time of the verdict?

Thank you!

per my notes -
9/5/25 Update: Sentencing hearing will be delayed if PSI is not ready then it will be a case management hearing on 10/14/25 @ 9am.

So guessing the PSI report is done - and onto sentencing!

Joel said it and Jansen said it wasn’t official. (Last night). Glad it is.

Hard to believe, but an STS rumor was actually true this time!

It appears so.

Leon Circuit Judge Stephen Everett set her sentencing hearing for 3 p.m. Monday, Oct. 13. Everett, who presided over her trial starting in late August, set the date after her pre-sentence investigation was handed in by the state.

Donna Adelson faces a 'mandatory sentence' of life in prison on Oct. 13

Donna Adelson, the matriarch of the South Florida family behind the 2014 murder-for-hire of Dan Markel, is scheduled to be sentenced to life in prison a bit sooner than initially expected.

There are no bigger fans than STS haters. Don't forget they were the first to report Donna's arrest. How horrible they are!!!!

 

[rescuemom]

This is strange, I cannot figure out why the sentencing is being fast-tracked.

She's probably such a PITA they want her gone!!!!

• DA will likely make a statement
• Friends and family of DA could also be making statements
• The Markels will attend via Zoom

Oh Grandma Gotti will make a statement alright. But who will be there to testify on her behalf at her sentencing- Harvey? He’s probably going to celebrate Or he should.

i thought courts were closed on Monday due to holiday. How is Donna's still going on? I def. don't want to miss it.

Also, has anyone else seen the video of her in the wheelchair after the verdict... She sure was playing up how unfair the world is for her

Monday is a Federal holiday, not a State of Florida one

I guess it just depends on location and their choice. 2 of the trials i'm watching are not continuing on Monday, I guess Gainsville is. Good.... thank you. Now i'll be there ready to watch!

In spite of all the STS bashing that goes on here, I still tune in at times and yesterday they had a really wonderful tribute to Dan Markel on what would have been his 53rd birthday. A friend of his from NY was on and retold some marvelous stories about Dan that attested to his true character.

Looks like a grand jury is convening during the week of Oct. 13 relating to the Hope Florida Foundation. Nothing I can find Adelson related. Darn.
