Adelson is facing charges of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and solicitation of murder in connection to the murder of Markel.
Katherine Magbanua, Charlie Adelson’s former girlfriend, was given a life sentence in July for her role in arranging the murder of Florida State University professor Dan Markel.
A case management will be held in December, which is when the judge said they’ll have a better idea if they will be ready for trial by February or March.
