Charlie Adelson Appeal Hearing Recap: What the Judges Said and What Happens Next | Full Breakdown
Thursday, 5 February, 2026
The oral arguments in Charlie Adelson's appeal took place today before Florida's First District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee. For 40 minutes, three judges — Lori S. Rowe, Thomas D. Winokur, and M. Kemmerly Thomas — heard competing arguments about whether Adelson's 2023 murder conviction should stand. Defense attorney Michael Ufferman argued that pretrial publicity made a fair trial in Leon County impossible. He pointed to devastating jury selection numbers: 130 prospective jurors were questioned, 54 had formed opinions, and 53 believed Adelson was guilty before opening statements. Jurors were overheard discussing the case after being told not to. Ufferman called it the clearest case for a change of venue imaginable. The state saw it differently. Assistant Attorney General Robert Charles Lee reminded the court that Adelson accepted the jury on the record, never filed a written venue motion, and failed to renew his objection. His argument was direct: media coverage is everywhere now, Tallahassee isn't uniquely biased, and the evidence would have convicted Adelson in any courtroom in Florida. The judges challenged both sides but gave no indication of how they'll rule or when. Charlie remains in a South Dakota prison. His mother Donna Adelson, convicted in September 2025, has filed her own appeal but no hearing date has been set. This episode breaks down everything that happened in court today and what it means for the future of the Adelson cases.#CharlieAdelson #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #AdelsonAppeal #MarkelMurder #FloridaAppeal #AdelsonCase #MurderForHire #TrueCrime #AdelsonFamilyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
