True Crime in the Courtroom: The Shocking Case of an FSU Law Professor Gunned Down by Hitmen

Steve Epstein, author of Extreme Punishment: The Shocking True Story of Acclaimed Law Professor Dan Markel’s Murder, will provide an overview of the case, including the July 2014 murder, the joint police-FBI investigation, and four trials that ensued in a Tallahassee courtroom to hold every member of the conspiracy accountable. He will also discuss the underlying dynamics of the divorce case between Prof. Markel and his wife Wendi—also an FSU law professor—that led inexorably to the tragic events whose aftermath is still playing out in legal proceedings 10 years later.
