Summary

Day 8 of the Donna Adelson trial brought defense experts who painted Wendi’s divorce as “routine,” not a bitter custody war, and pushed back on claims Donna pulled the strings. But prosecutors fought to keep their narrative intact, highlighting coded language, money disputes, and Donna’s looming decision on whether to testify.
