The Von Bulow Affair

This notorious case of pretty, vivacious Martha "Sunny" von Bulow pits husband Claus von Bulow against their children who are still convinced he attempted to murder his wife for her wealth. Sunny slips into an irreversible coma in their Rhode Island home and survives almost 28 years in this vegetative state before finally passing away in December 2008 in a New York nursing home. Claus von Bulow was convicted of administering an insulin overdose to his American heiress and popular socialite wife. It was overturned on a second trial when the second trial citing her condition the result of prescription drugs overdose, not an insulin injection, found her husband not guilty.
