The Florida Dental Matriarch, which was accused of having mastered the conspiracy of the murder against her former son -in -law in 2014, wanted to flee the USA with her husband to find “peace” in Vietnam before she got into her own will.

Donna Adelson, who was locked up in bonds and a purple overall, made the shocking revelation when she was looking for her release from prison and appeared before the court in Leon County on Wednesday.

“I was not afraid to be arrested,” she told the court according to Court. “My husband and I – literally shocked and traumatized about what had happened to Charlie – and he said:” We just have to get peace, we have to take our breath, we will go away somewhere. “

The 75-year-old Adelson was arrested in November 2023 at Miami International Airport when she and her husband Harvey wanted to use in one-way tickets via Dubai to Vietnam-two countries without extraditional contracts with the United States.

The couple understood how to flee from the USA what would look like for law enforcement officers.

However, they opted for Vietnam as their goal because they enjoyed the Southeast Asian country during the earlier holidays and bought back a plane ticket and insert themselves.

Adelson assumed that the police in the United States had reached with their colleagues in extradition countries who had kept the couple in their prisons. “Because God knows how long”.

Adelson called Vietnam “a place of peace” and claimed that her husband had come up with the idea so that they would not be kept in a foreign prison that was waiting to be delivered back to Florida.

“He said:” If we go to a non-expert country, if the law enforcement agencies decided that they wanted to arrest them or me, we won't sit in a foreign prison and wait months, “said Adelson.” My understanding was that we could go home and I could get involved if they wanted it. “
