| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, today I'm doing a special bonus episode about Donna Adelson's sentencing hearing. |
| 0:07.6 | Now, I wasn't planning on covering it because, to be honest, I expected it to be pretty straightforward. |
| 0:13.1 | Dan Markell's family already gave their victim impact statements after the verdict. |
| 0:17.8 | Donna was pretty much guaranteed to get life in prison, and I didn't expect her to say |
| 0:22.4 | much, if anything, at the hearing. But as I was watching it myself, I found my mouth dropping |
| 0:28.3 | open multiple times. So I figured I'd pull out what I thought were the most interesting parts |
| 0:32.8 | and get it out to you guys ASAP. So, hope you enjoy. This is Jillian, and you are listening to Quart Junkie. |
| 0:44.8 | Cooler days mean I get to wear my favorite navy blue puffer jacket that I get compliments on |

| 1:12.6 | jacket I just mentioned, it's a featherless, quilted long jacket that I wear constantly, |
| 1:18.2 | during school pickup, out to dinner, and sometimes even just sitting by the campfire in my own |
| 1:22.9 | backyard. And best of all, I got it for just $99, which, for how luxurious it feels and looks, I would expect it to cost a lot more. |
| 1:32.7 | But because Quince partners directly with top-tier ethical factories, they cut out the middlemen and deliver luxury-quality pieces at half the price of similar brands. |
| 1:43.9 | Find your fall staples at Quince. |

| 2:12.0 | At Donna Edelson's sentencing hearing, prosecutor Georgia Kaplanman told the judge that they were requesting |
