Attorneys for Donna Adelson are asking to move her trial in the murder-for-hire of Dan Markel out of town, arguing she can’t get a fair trial in Tallahassee because of the heavy attention the sensational case has gotten over the past 10-plus years. Leon Circuit Judge Stephen Everett set aside two and a half hours to hear arguments today, June 13, on a defense motion for a change in venue. The hearing is being held in Courtroom 3B at the Leon County Courthouse.

Josh Zelman, one of Donna Adelson's attorneys, just confirmed with the Democrat that they are asking Judge Stephen Everett to move her upcoming murder trial from Tallahassee to Miami. During a hearing on a change of venue earlier in the day, Zelman repeatedly mentioned Miami.
ASA Georgia Cappleman: “To conclude that this case rendered our entire citizenry incapable of giving Ms. Adelson a fair trial – there’s no evidence to support that.”
Josh Zelman: “Your honor, it’s our position that although a jury has been seated previously, but the media coverage … overwhelmingly points to the fact that seating a fair and impartial jury in this venue is going to be impossible.”
