Antonio Planas is a breaking news reporter for NBC News Digital.

A Florida dentist was found guilty Monday of paying to have his former brother-in-law, a Florida State University law professor, killed after a bitter custody fight with a relative. In 2014, Charles Adelson arranged to have Daniel Markel killed, a jury determined. He was convicted on three charges, first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and solicitation to commit murder. Markel, 41, was shot and killed July 18, 2014, while talking on the phone in his car, at his Tallahassee home.

Adelson said he didn’t think Magbanua was orchestrating the extortion and was convinced she was protecting him from the killers. The monthly payments were like a life insurance policy keeping him alive, he said. “I didn’t get killed, I didn’t get robbed. The extortion never went up. She was protecting me,” Adelson said. Prosecutors said Adelson paid to have the professor killed and that Magbanua hired Sigfredo Garcia, the father of her two children, to commit the murder.
