Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city. In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan. From its heyday as Motor City to its rebirth as the Brooklyn of the Midwest, Detroit’s history reflects a series of issues that strike at the heart of American identity: race, poverty, policing, loss of industry, the war on drugs, an ...

BIG BREAKDOWN – Donna Adelson On The Stand Complaining About Jail Conditions While Awaiting Trial For Murder
In this raw and revealing courtroom testimony, 75-year-old Donna Adelson takes the stand—not to proclaim her innocence or deny involvement in the alleged murder-for-hire plot against her former son-in-law Dan Markel—but to air a laundry list of grievances about her life in jail. What unfolds is an unexpected glimpse into the mindset of the accused matriarch at the center of a high-profile murder case.
As the courtroom listens, Donna describes a series of alleged assaults, threats, and extortion attempts inside the jail. She claims inmates have targeted her for her notoriety, demanded canteen items, and physically attacked her, including one incident where she says she was struck in the head. The woman accused of helping orchestrate a contract killing sounds less like a defendant preparing for trial and more like someone demanding better room service.
This episode features Donna’s testimony in her own words—unedited, uninterrupted, and unbelievable at times. Her tone is calm, measured, even matter-of-fact, but the content paints a picture of someone deeply concerned with her comfort, not the case against her. It’s the kind of courtroom moment that leaves everyone wondering: is this strategy, delusion, or both?
We give you the full testimony as it happened, without spin or commentary. Hear for yourself how Donna attempts to reposition the narrative just weeks before her murder trial is set to begin. Whether it’s a legal maneuver or a bid for sympathy, this testimony is unlike anything we've seen so far in the case—and it's all here.
