The 73-year-old matriarch of the Adelson family, who prosecutors repeatedly said “hated” her former son-in-law Dan Markel, was arrested in Miami on Monday night, just one week after her dentist son Charlie Adelson was found guilty of the July 18, 2014, murder-for-hire plot that took the life of the Florida State University law professor amid a contentious child custody battle.

Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation records reviewed by Law&Crime show that Donna Sue Adelson was booked into jail at 10:08 p.m. last night on an out-of-county felony warrant. The records do not specify which county or charges, but the 5’6″ and 112-pound arrestee’s son was convicted seven days ago in Leon County of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and solicitation to commit murder.
