Join us for live coverage of Donna Adelson's court hearing. Donna is accused of orchestrating the 2014 murder-for-hire of her former son-in-law, FSU law professor Dan Markel.

Welcome to Surviving The Survivor, the live daily show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #truecrime.

The Donna Adelson murder trial centers on the 2014 killing of Dan Markel, a Florida State University law professor, in a murder-for-hire allegedly orchestrated by the Adelsons. The state says motives stems from a custody dispute between Dan Markel and his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson, which led to a bitter a legal battle over their two children. Prosecutors believe Donna Adelson, motivated by a desire to have Wendi and her grandchildren closer to her in South Florida, conspired with her son, Charlie Adelson, to have her ex son-in-law Dan Markel killed. Charlie Adelson was convicted of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation of murder in 2023 and sentenced to life in prison. Donna Adelson was arrested days later in November 2023 at Miami International Airport while attempting to board a flight to Vietnam, a country without extradition to the United States. She faces charges of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and solicitation of murder. Her trial is scheduled to begin in August of 2025.

Brad Pitt. Leonardo DiCaprio. Michael Jordan. Shaquille O’Neal. Their names surfaced in court as Sean “Diddy” Combs stands trial for sex trafficking and RICO charges.

On Day 21, ex-girlfriend “Jane” returns with explosive testimony about hotel nights, drug abuse, and celebrity-filled chaos.

#STSNation,

Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the podcast that brings you the Best Guests in all of True Crime…

On Day 21 of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ explosive federal sex trafficking trial, celebrities take the spotlight — sort of.

Names like Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Jordan, and Shaquille O’Neal surfaced in bizarre and disturbing testimony as “Jane,” one of Combs’ ex-girlfriends, returned to the stand. She detailed how she was manipulated into “freak offs,” compared Combs to MJ, an escort to Shaq, and herself to Kobe — and revealed Diddy still pays her $10,000 a month in rent.

She also alleged drug addiction, sex tape extortion, and emotional abuse — and defense attorneys tried to paint her as a willing participant.

We break down the legal drama, the celebrity crossover, and what this means for Diddy’s future.

A Kentucky sheriff guns down a judge in cold blood — on camera. Now he wants the murder case dropped, claiming courthouse sex scandals, cover-ups, and a mental break.

#STSNation!

Welcome to the podcast that promises to bring you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime.

The murder was caught on video.The courthouse was allegedly filled with sex, secrets, and threats. And now the killer says he’s the victim.

Former Letcher County Sheriff Mickey Stines was caught on tape unloading bullets into Judge Kevin Mullins—but now he wants the entire murder case thrown out. He claims prosecutors broke the rules, grand jurors were manipulated, and that he was silenced for knowing too much about explosive sexual misconduct inside the courthouse, including sex acts allegedly caught on tape in the judge’s own chambers.

We're unpacking the chilling video, the bombshell new motions, and whether the insanity defense is a play for sympathy—or something more sinister.

Sean Diddy Combs' ex girlfriend "Jane" says she was treated like an animal, forced into endless nights of Freak Offs and threatened financially in emotional testimony and cross ex today.

Diddy is on trial for 5 counts of sex trafficking and racketeering and has pleaded not guilty to all charges. If he's convicted, he could face life in prison.

Today is Day 20 of Diddy's trial and the cross examination of a key witness continues. While Jane admit she still loves Diddy and he still pays her rent, she also opens up about the emotional abuse and trauma she's suffered on top of the financial threats from Diddy.

Is this testimony enough to prove Diddy ran a criminal enterprise?

As Donna Adelson awaits trial in the murder-for-hire plot of Dan Markel, explosive new motions seek to suppress key testimony. Meanwhile, disturbing jail logs suggest a potential mental health breakdown behind bars

#STSNation,

Welcome to Surviving the Survivor — the podcast that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime.

Tonight, we break down stunning new developments in the Donna Adelson case:

• A motion to suppress testimony from Sara Yousuf, a former friend of Wendi Adelson, who says Donna called Dan “a jerk” shortly after his murder.

• A separate legal push to block Stephen Webster, Dan’s post-divorce attorney, from testifying about alleged comments and family dynamics.

• And perhaps most shocking: new jail logs suggest Donna has been pacing her cell naked and laughing to herself, raising questions about her mental state and trial readiness.

The trial is now set for August, but the legal chess match is heating up fast.
