Donna Adelson Trial: Investigator Jason Newlin Testifies-Inside the Evidence Trail

In today’s courtroom session of the Donna Adelson trial, Investigator Jason Newlin of the State Attorney’s Office took the stand. His testimony walked jurors through the tangled web of evidence collected in the wake of Dan Markel’s murder, evidence that prosecutors say ties directly back to Adelson family communications and financial dealings.

Newlin’s role in this trial is crucial. He explained the investigative steps taken after the shocking 2014 murder of FSU law professor Dan Markel, shedding light on how detectives pieced together connections between the hitmen who carried out the killing and the Adelson family. The jury was reminded of phone calls, text messages, and the sudden movement of money—all of it forming what prosecutors argue is a trail pointing to Donna Adelson’s alleged involvement in orchestrating the crime.

Newlin’s matter-of-fact delivery underscored just how painstakingly investigators worked to connect the dots. The testimony highlighted not only what was found, but also the timing of events—key details that prosecutors believe show motive, planning, and cover-up. For the jury, his words weren’t just background—they were a roadmap to understanding the broader conspiracy alleged by the State.

This testimony matters because it brings the jury into the world of the investigation itself. Rather than theory or speculation, Newlin presented documented facts: call logs, financial records, and patterns that, according to prosecutors, can’t be explained away as coincidence. As the Donna Adelson trial unfolds, Newlin’s evidence may set the stage for how jurors view every other witness that follows.

Stay tuned as the courtroom drama intensifies and the pieces of this tragic puzzle come into sharper focus.
