A Florida judge had to scold Donna Adelson during her murder trial this week for making a scene in court. Judge Stephen Everett told the 73-year-old defendant to control her emotions and stop making faces at witnesses. This woman is accused of plotting to kill her own former son-in-law, and she thinks she can manipulate the jury with her theatrical performance.
The judge did exactly what he should have done. Our courtrooms are places of law and order, not soap opera stages where criminals can put on shows for sympathy. Judge Everett made it clear that head shaking, emotional outbursts, and dramatic expressions have no place in his courtroom.
Donna Adelson stands accused of conspiring with her son Charlie to murder Dan Markel back in 2014. Markel was a Florida State University law professor who was gunned down in his own driveway. The prosecution believes this grandmother masterminded the whole killing because she wanted her daughter to move closer to home with the grandchildren.
Real Americans respect our justice system and the rules that make it work. When defendants think they can influence juries with crocodile tears and dramatic gestures, they are spitting on everything our legal system stands for. The evidence should speak, not some staged emotional performance from someone accused of arranging a cold-blooded murder.
Dan Markel was a father of two young boys who deserved to see their dad grow old. Instead, prosecutors say this family destroyed his life over a custody dispute. No amount of courtroom theatrics can bring back this innocent man or undo the trauma inflicted on his children.
Conservative voices like Megyn Kelly understand what many in the mainstream media refuse to acknowledge. Our courts must focus on facts and evidence, not emotional manipulation from defendants trying to escape justice. When judges enforce proper courtroom behavior, they are protecting the integrity of our entire legal system.
This case shows why we need strong judges who will not let criminals turn trials into three-ring circuses. Judge Everett sent a clear message that justice will be served based on evidence, not on which defendant can put on the best acting performance for the jury.
Law-abiding Americans are watching this case closely because we believe in accountability. If Donna Adelson orchestrated the murder of her son-in-law, she needs to face the full consequences of her actions without being allowed to manipulate the system with fake tears and courtroom drama.
