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

Here's your host, Emmy Award winning journalist Joel Waldman.

This time next week, Steve Cohn and I will just be arriving in Tallahassee for a trial that's going to start the next day where Donna Sue Adelson is going to face a jury

of her peers. But in court this past Friday, we got a glimpse into the future battlefield.

The judge, Judge Stephen Everett, making rulings that could decide what this jury hears and what

This is the show that brings you the very best guests in all of true crime, and the clock is

ticking for Donna Adelson with jury selection just days away.

Her final hearing before trial revealed some new rulings, some sharp, sharp legal sparring, and a preview

sunshiney day here in Miami,

but you know why it's an even brighter day?

Because the truth always outshines the darkness.

That's how amazing our best guests are.

He is a Tallahassee defense attorney.

He's also Dan Markell's post-divorce attorney.

And he's also on the witness list to testify at this upcoming trial. So a very special guest to have this
