Donna Adelson opted to hire Rashbaum represent her despite the fact that her legal needs may be at odds with those of her son, who has an appeal pending with the 1st District Court of Appeal.  After Rashbaum’s move Tuesday afternoon, Leon Circuit Judge Stephen Everett announced that the trial will be continued and that prospective jurors would be sent home.  In light of this, tonight we look at the current state of attorney-client privilege.  #BestGuests #JusticeForDanMarkel #TrueCrime #FSU #TrueCrimeCommunity #Podcast #Podcasting #Florida #CharlieAdelson #WendiAdelson #TrueCrime #DonnaAdelson #DanielRashBaum Patreon: Https://patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivor YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTube Joel's Book: Https://www.amazon.com/shop/surviving...
