Today, on what would have been Dan Markel’s birthday, STS honors the life, legacy, and tragic loss of the brilliant law professor whose story continues to impact so many. Dan Markel was a respected Florida State University law professor, a father, and a beloved member of the Tallahassee community—known for his sharp intellect and devotion to justice. In 2014, Dan’s life was cut short when he was gunned down in his driveway in a shocking murder-for-hire plot that would later expose a tangled web of betrayal, greed, and family secrets. Years later, arrests and convictions—including those of Charlie Adelson, Donna Adelson, and others connected to the case—have brought new attention to the tragedy and the ongoing pursuit of justice. In this emotional STS True Crime Special, Emmy Award-winning journalist Joel Waldman reflects on Dan Markel’s life, his impact on the legal world, and the loved ones keeping his memory alive. We look back on who Dan was—not just a victim, but a father, scholar, and man who inspired those around him. Join us in honoring Dan Markel’s memory and exploring how his legacy continues to shape conversations about justice, family, and resilience. #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #STS #JoelWaldman #AdelsonCase #JusticeForDanMarkel #DonnaAdelson #CharlieAdelson #FSU #TallahasseeThanks for supporting the show and being a part of #STSNation! Donate to STS' Trial Travel: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...VENMO: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcastCheck out STS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorEmail: SurvivingTheSurvivor@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
