TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The former mother-in-law of a Florida State University law professor who was fatally shot almost a decade ago has been arrested in Miami-Dade County, jail records show.
Donna Adelson, 73, was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center late Monday on out-of-county warrant. She's the mother of Charlie Adelson, who was convicted last week in the 2014 murder-for-hire killing of FSU law professor Daniel Markel.
Tallahassee State Attorney Jack Campbell told the Tallahassee Democrat that Donna Adelson was arrested at Miami International Airport, where she and her husband had one-way plane tickets to Vietnam.
Campbell told the newspaper that Donna Adelson was trying to flee the country, which will be part of the state's evidence in its case against her.
