She said she did it. It was to keep her grandkids, but it wasn't supposed to go that far.

Those are the words of currently on County inmate Patricia Bird, one of two jail informants who testified today.

And man, they may have blown the lid off of a case that had already had its lid blown off.

We're talking about Donna Sue Adelson versus the state of Florida.

Welcome to the global phenomenon, surviving the survivor, where we bring you the best guests in all of true crime.

What's up, St.S. Nation? Welcome to the show that brings you the very best guests in all of true

crime. It is called Surviving the Survivor. You see it right over my right shoulder. Today,

testimony was really fascinating. In contrast, the last couple of days, they were

really interesting. And I know they were to the jurors because I've been watching them, but they

Donna allegedly confessing here to orchestrating the plot by promising

favors and money for false testimony, which was corroborated by a handwriting analyst. So it went

from really bad with Rob Aedelson on the stand to even worse, in my opinion, with these jailhouse

informants and without further ado, and happy Friday afternoon to everybody. You've got the famed

Tallahassee criminal defense attorney, the letter R and OUR Timothy Jansen, also a former

federal prosecutor, and for full disclosure, I'm meeting Tim right after the show.

We're going to get a couple of drinks.

It's been a long, however many days, but stretches well into last week.

I got the COE on the way up here.

I said, how's the drive going?
