The long-awaited murder trial for a Florida dentist who allegedly conspired to have his ex-brother-in-law murdered for his sister’s benefit continued on Thursday afternoon with oftentimes dramatic testimony from the victim’s ex-wife – who took the stand after prosecutors granted her a limited form of immunity.

Charlie Adelson, 46, stands accused of plotting the fatal murder-for-hire shooting of 41-year-old Florida State University law professor Dan Markel on July 18, 2014. The state considers the defendant’s sister, Wendi Adelson, 45, an un-indicted co-conspirator in that plot.

The final witness on the first day of the trial being overseen by 2nd Judicial Circuit Judge Stephen Everett was adamant about her innocence – and professed a complete lack of knowledge of the remunerated murder conspiracy – when repeatedly grilled by Chief Assistant State Attorney Georgia Cappleman.
