Donna Adelson Trial | Hitman Luis Rivera Testifies: "Wendi Wanted Dan Dead"
Donna Adelson Trial | Hitman Luis Rivera Testifies: "Wendi Wanted Dan Dead"
In this explosive courtroom clip from the trial of Donna Adelson, convicted hitman Luis Rivera takes the stand to describe his firsthand role in the murder of Florida State law professor Dan Markel. Rivera, already serving time for his part in the 2014 ambush-style killing, doesn’t hold back as he walks the jury through the planning, surveillance, and ultimate execution of the murder—bluntly stating that “Wendi wanted her husband dead.”
According to Rivera, he and his partner Sigfredo Garcia traveled from Miami to Tallahassee, tracking Markel for days. Rivera drove the car while Garcia pulled the trigger. He says the money they were paid—bundles of crisp hundred-dollar bills—came from the Adelson family, though he adds a surprising twist: he believed Wendi Adelson was behind the murder, not Donna or her son Charlie. This admission, while helping the prosecution connect the murder to the family, also opens a door for the defense to create reasonable doubt about Donna Adelson’s direct involvement.
Rivera’s testimony is critical to the state's case. Not only does it put the Adelson family at the center of the murder-for-hire plot, but it also injects a level of uncertainty that the defense can exploit. The courtroom was tense as Rivera spoke, his words sometimes mumbled, but his message clear: this wasn’t a random act—it was a calculated hit driven by family tensions and custody battles.
Whether jurors believe Rivera is telling the whole truth remains to be seen, but this raw footage is essential viewing for anyone following this high-profile trial.

Donna Adelson Trial | Crime Scene Detective Craig Isom Breaks Down Hitman Surveillance
Donna Adelson Trial | Crime Scene Detective Craig Isom Breaks Down Hitman Surveillance
In this raw and riveting courtroom moment, Tallahassee Police Department Detective Craig Isom steps into the spotlight to reveal chilling details from the investigation into Dan Markel’s murder. His testimony on Day 3 of the Donna Adelson trial centers around the movements of the alleged hitmen and their connection to the Adelson family’s finances.
Isom painstakingly walked the jury through surveillance footage and cell tower data, showing how Luis Rivera and Sigfredo Garcia stalked Markel across Tallahassee in the hours leading up to the murder. He pointed out critical timestamps and explained how the suspects’ rental car—tracked through video and data—circled Markel’s neighborhood multiple times before the fatal shooting.
But the truly damning part? Isom analyzed the payroll records from the Adelson family dental business, linking Charlie Adelson to cash withdrawals around the time the hitmen were paid. It's a detail that, when paired with Rivera's earlier testimony, starts to outline a money trail prosecutors say leads straight to the Adelson matriarch.
This testimony matters because it ties the physical evidence—the car, the movements, the timing—directly to the financial transactions at the heart of the alleged murder-for-hire conspiracy. Isom’s methodical breakdown transforms vague suspicions into a timeline that could prove devastating for the defense.
Watch as Detective Isom lays out the blueprint of a calculated execution and the alleged paper trail that could bring Donna Adelson down.
