2025 saw the fourth trial in the despicable plot to murder acclaimed FSU law professor Dan Markel. Will 2026 close the book on this horrific story ... or begin an even more compelling chapter? In the words of the tenacious lead prosecutor, Georgia Cappleman, "Stay tuned!"

A true thrill to sit opposite Dateline NBC legend Dennis Murphy, offering thoughts about Donna Adelson's trial and conviction in an episode entitled "Deadly Mischief"

[Steven B. Epstein @StevenBAuthor]

News flash! Donna Adelson loved Dan Markel and thought he was a great father. Charlie was the monster who wanted him dead, not her. That was the story she peddled at her sentencing. She can keep repeating it in prison, where she'll spend the rest of her life. Good riddance!

When I started my writing journey 8 years ago, never in a million years did I imagine being featured on a true crime documentary with @50cent. Check out S1 E6 of "50 Ways to Catch a Killer with 50 Cent" about the Mike Williams murder case.

What this father and grandfather, and his entire family, have been through these last 11 years is unimaginable. Yet what he said to Donna in his final words cut straight to the heart of everything: "Was it worth it?" #danmarkel #justicefordan https://t.co/mZroDt1bbU

For the fourth time, Wendi Adelson took the witness stand as an immunized prosecution witness, this time with her own mother seated at the defense table. Georgia Cappleman masterfully used a trove of emails to demonstrate Donna's venom toward Dan Markel, aka MOTIVE

For the last 9 years, she has doggedly pursued the entire band of miscreants responsible for law professor Dan Markel's cold-blooded murder. Georgia Cappleman has been relentless and methodical as she's taken down Luis Rivera, Sigfredo Garcia, Katie Magbanua, and Charlie "The Maestro" Adelson. And now the crown jewel, the Matriarch, a former kindergarten teacher and sociopath who gives new meaning to the moniker "Bad Grandma": Donna Sue Adelson.

She picked Dan Markel out of J-Date as the perfect mate to bear her daughter Wendi's children. Less than 5 years after putting her arm around him and smiling for this photo, she arranged to have him killed. The time has finally come for her to face a jury of her peers. Let justice prevail!

So pleased to announce the release of DEADLY HEIST on Audible. Narrator Kyle Tait, a real pro, did a fantastic job!

Thank you Dan Abrams for featuring me in the Charlie Adelson episode of "Taking the Stand" aired last night on A&E.

@caytlyn_brooke We have all had similar experiences! Don’t let it slow you down. Had John Grisham quit after his first novel topped out at 5,000 sold, well, he wouldn’t be on his way to 400 million sold today. Thanks for sharing and making it real!
