It is pretty hard to get a judge off of a high-profile trial. It isn\u2019t impossible \u2014 Young Thug managed to get Judge Glanville removed from his case \u2014 but that followed some extraordinary events. Barring something going extremely wrong, you\u2019d be hard pressed to get a judge to admit fault or broadcast their impartiality. Donna Adelson and her legal team recently tried their hand at the dismissal gambit. Sure, you might miss 100% of the shots you don\u2019t make, but the odds might not be that much better when you do try. WTXL<\/a> has coverage on the attempt:<\/p>\n

\n

A recent motion by the defense to disqualify the judge overseeing the high-profile case of Donna Adelson is denied.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Court records said the motion had insufficient evidence.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

She is set to go to trial June 3, accused in the murder of her son-in-law Dan Markel in 2014.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is the most recent point in a long line of delays. There was an earlier hiccup when Charlie Adelson decided to revoke his blessing<\/a> for his mom to use his lawyer. Alex Morris picked up the representation shortly after, but he, too, was conflicted out of representing her<\/a>. Donna is slated to go to trial on June 3rd, but don\u2019t be too surprised if something else comes up and delays the date.<\/p>\n
