Donna Adelson Trial: Defense Closing Meltdown Continues! | Hidden Killers Live After more than two hours of the prosecution hammering Donna Adelson, her defense team finally took the floor â and what followed was one of the most bizarre, scattered closings weâve seen in a high-profile murder trial. In this segment of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels, we watch as defense attorney Jackie Fulford attempts to convince jurors Donna Adelson had no role in the 2014 murder of Dan Markel. Instead, what came out was: A grievance-laden monologue that felt more like Donna speaking through her attorney than a legal defense. Odd poster board exhibits and an overhead âartist renderingâ that looked more like grade-school projects than courtroom evidence. A âTop Ten Listâ of names Donna allegedly called Dan Markel â presented as if insulting him somehow proved she wasnât guilty. Repeated attempts to shift blame to Charlie, Wendy, and even Rob Adelson, while insisting Donna was just a meddling mom. The defenseâs claim that relocation wasnât a motive because âit was over a year earlierâ â directly clashing with the stateâs evidence of continued pressure and Donnaâs obsession with control. Moments where Fulford seemed to echo Donnaâs narcissism and rage, airing family grievances instead of laying out a coherent defense strategy. Our panel reacts in real time, ripping apart the weak strategy, the spectacle in the courtroom, and the sense that Donnaâs team did more to bury her than to save her. Â Do you think the defense helped or hurt Donna Adelson in their closing? Let us know in the comments.
