This video was requested a couple months ago. Thanks everyone for watching. I wanted to present both sides of the argument. I am really interested in hearing your opinion as to the guilt or innocence of Claus. Please let me know, and who you would like to see me cover.
I would really enjoy a documentary on Barbara Graham, who was executed at San Quentin State Prison on June 3, 1955. I believe there are two film versions of "I Want To Live," the first with Susan Hayward and the second with Lindsay Wagner. Barbara Graham was portrayed differently in each movie, and somewhere in between lies the truth. Or does it?
Thank you for your documentary. I have watched a couple of others about this subject. Yours was refreshing the others kept making her into a drug addict and alcoholic. I'm pretty certain he did it. Money is only at all and greed is an ugly sin.
@@bellyarty Thank you, I also find the portrayal of her frustrating as people are reading only one source for it. 'Reversal of Fortune' Either the movie or the book. Which was written by Claus's attorney Alan Dershowitz, So in doing the video I tried very hard to take in all accounts including his, and the only sources we have for that behaviour depicted are Claus, and the daughter they shared, the other children, and servants saw it very differently. Sadly, the one account missing is Sunny's. :(
@@MythicMindScape21 I haven't seen the film but I respect Jeremy irons as an actor. I did not want to see the film as I didn't want to see Jeremy irons as a baddie. I can't stand looking at Glenn close at all. I have never seen any of her films as just the sight of her frightens me!
I attended boarding school with one of the kids and they seemed to believe unquestionably so that Claus was a gold digger and capable of just about anything for money!
Why is she being "poor"?? She had had everything and instead of always having a whiny and self-centered attitude she could have done probably a lot of social activity for people who are not that privileged like she was!
Jeremy Irons and Glenn Close really nailed these 2 characters in the film adaptation of the events . Only human beings could really screw up what should have been heaven on earth .
I love the Irons portrayal, but its always hard for me to watch him as an honest guy as Lolita was the first film I saw him in, he is the master of playing a gentleman with something deeper and darker going on behind his eyes.. As for Close, hard to say, as it was only written from Claus's side, and his perception of her, as Dershowitz penned the book the film was based on, maybe she was like that, her children say she wasn't. But who can ever know.
Love your documentaries, interesting, perfect length, summarizing the stories yet even without previous information one gets the whole picture and all wrapped in you’re beautiful, calm voice.. thank you 🙏🏼
He did. I can't believe a private detective wouldn't be aware of the 4th amendment, why no pictures of the bag? Why hand it over to the police? Just bad work all around by the prosecution, just kike the O.J trial.
He lived in South Kensington , as I did back then , and I used to see him walk by me in the street often. He was very tall, very imposing and had a very cold energy.
I remember reading and watching on TV as the whole saga unfolded about the beautiful Sunny Von Búlow. I believed then as I believe now; that Clause Von Búlow did try to get rid of Sunny taking advantage her drug and alcohol dependency. His nonchalant behavior, and what her maid reported at that time still stands as a reminder he was hoping she would die. As fate would have it, she did not. The poor woman would live 28 years in a comma, how sad. He got away with murder, but then he had to relinquish his inheritance etc. we know the rest. At least he had Cosima the remainder of his life and only Clause and God would ever know the truth. RIP Sunny you did not deserve this ✝ The narrator has a very clear voice. She sounds like a nice person and gives light/excitement/interest to the story. I prefer no musical background or at least very very low. Attorney Alan Dershowitz is still around and he is not one to be admired.
A very sad case - poor little rich girl! Sunny's first husband was a charmer who knew how to make her happy and miserable at the same time - next came Klaus - he ticked all the boxes but was a man and not a puddle - that was the problem - Sunny succumbed to Valium and drink - plus laxatives - she lived in a bubble - money can be very isolating - I think the fact that Klaus had a mistress was neither here no there - for a husband to be faithful to his wife he has to beca failure in business - Howard Hughes - Klaus was helpless as was Sunny - what they needed was psychological counseling - as to Klaus having attempted to kill Sunny - she was doing her level best to do it herself...Klaus may have been many things but a murderer he definitely was not!!! Thank God he wasn't sentenced to death - he would have joined the long line of innocents convicted on the strength of dubious witnesses with vested interests - and poor Sally spent 28 years in a coma - the ultimate punishment for having been mega rich....thank you for the thought provoking video!
As a huge fan of the Dark Shadows tv series, I find the involvement of Alexandra Moltke in this entire thing downright surrealistic. The helpless maiden Victoria Winters in Dark Shadows, and the "snake in the grass" in the von Bulow marriage. Life imitating art?
And excellent and well documented video. The Narrator has a crystral clear voice that is wonderful to the ears. She is informative, concise and presents her documentary with precise clarity and knows her subject matter thoroughly. She is excellent as with her other video of my beloved Nancy Cunard. Kudos to you, dear Narrator.🎉😂❤
Great voice, I agree. I only recently learned of Nancy Cunard, although I’ve enjoyed that photo Man Ray took of her for years. Great to know the story behind the photo and the remarkable lady.
As you drive down Bellevue you are reminded just how tragic lives some of these women had behind doors....Doris Duke, Barbara Hutton, Sunny Von Bulow.....drugs, alcohol, gigolos, you name it. Sad deaths.
I remember this case well as I had just graduated from college and hung out thst summer in Newport RI. There were sheets hung up on the fences of the mansion for privacy. My friends and I would go by the mansion often.
A tragic and fascinating tale that kept me riveted in university. Also loved the Sothebys sale in 1989 or 1991 I think which although unnamed, everyone knew who’s sale it was. The notoriety added to the intrigue and the prices soared. Magnificent items but with such a sad history
MISS SUNNY WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPIER WOMAN HAD SHE ENGAGED IN SOME SORT OF WORK, VOLUNTEERED WITH CHILDREN, SOUP KITCHEN, OR SOMETHING SPIRITALLY ENLIGHTENING. . ; TOO LATE SUNNY, TO MUCH MONEY AND POOR THINKING/
Wow! Bravo, bravo👏🏽🫶🏽👏🏽I really enjoyed this one and now I want to watch the movie. He is guilty, he killed her. I can’t believe she was left to be in a coma for 28yrs😟
The documentary provided factual evidence from the trial and historical events, leading me to believe that he is guilty, a view shared by others. This channel is a safe space where we can express our opinions and show appreciation in a respectful manner, without passing judgment.
@@sumajewski8368 She gave her opinion, I also think he is guilty. Are you the opinion police? What right do you have to say how I or anyone should think. Why would her giving an opinion on a video make her unacceptable for Jury duty. Stop being so disrespectful.
Really well done! Thank you. The first time I heard about this case was on Dominic Dunne’s show Vanity Fair Confidential. Check out his magazine articles or tv show. Lots of great material there.
I love Dominick Dunne, and did read him for this, as well as the Dershowitz book 'Reversal of Fortune'. I really enjoy his work, and loved the Two Mrs. Grenvilles. It inspired me to read 'Deliberate Cruelty' Which has the full Ann Woodward story, and it is always interesting to me that the feud between Capote and Woodward started when he came over to her as she was sitting at a table in San Moritz drinking with Claus Von Bulow. I love finding intersections of all these stories. Great recommendation, and great journalist and writer.
If he tried that same scenario a year before why didn't she kick him out? She knew about the affair and she knew her money was a motive. She should have taken action if not for herself than for her children.
She woke up with no recollection of what had happened. Which is one of the questions often asked, if he had injected her, why didn't she feel it? Though perhaps he had put some sleeping tablets in the egg nog, or perhaps he didn't. Sadly, we will never know.
So sad that they had to endure their father in a coma for 9 years and mother for 28. I can't imagine how difficult life has been for them psychologically.
I was in middle school when all of this happened. My mother was fascinated by this case. I'm not convinced Claus von Bulow killed Sunny. I don't know. I'm not going to lose sleep over it.
I find this case very puzzling. I have never been very good at attempting to solving mysteries of attempted murder or actual murder. I'm rather taken aback that von Bulow's mistress turned on him in court. That is odd and very strange. One more thing is that Bulow changed his surname to a grander one make me suspicious of the person to entitlement to higher echelons of society and "catch" a very wealthy person which Bulow certainly did with Sunny! The fact that he worked for the most wealthy man in the world at that time, Paul Getty tells me he certainly had charm to intergrate himself when needed. I find gold diggers have alluring traits of charming affablility that is required to attain their goal/s. I wouldn't trust Bulow's charm and affability. He's a dangerous snake!
Yes, it is very odd. They had broken up by the time of the trial. Claus had already moved on to someone else, so she could have been seeking revenge, or she could have been telling the truth. Either way, she looks bad, as if she knew the truth, why not come forward sooner, if she was lying to put him away, then that is almost as bad.
A strange case this one. If Klaus had those drugs in a black bag, why was he not convicted of illegal possession? He seems to have been a weird person. I think he was guilty
OF COURSE HE MURDERED HER !!!! LIKE MOST MEN WITH LOOKS ABD NO MEANS HE SWEPED HER OFF HER FEET WITH WHAT SHE WANTED LOVE AND ATTENTION !!!!! UNTIL HE WAS BORED AND MOVED ON TO NEW CONQUESTS !!!!! SAD !!!! BEAUTIFUL WOMAN !!!!!
Wow! This is absolutely fascinating, but Extremely tragic. THANK YOU for this video. I was too young, busy being groovy in high school to know what was going on with this. My Mom probably read all this in the National Enquirer. LOL So many questions....Who keeps a loved one in a coma for 28 years?? The black bag? The acquittal? The mistress? And so forth? I would love to see a video on how the children/step-children have fared since this big stink.
@AmyWebster-u6l Ya know I studied English Lit for 6+ years and never could spell. I have learned more as a bookseller but some spellings still elude me.
Great video. Well presented facts. But he is clearly guilty, his actions at the time of her first coma were suspicious, she had not been drinking. She wasn't waking up and he simply sat there with her. The only question I have is how he injected her, perhaps he put something in her drink and they did not test for it in toxicology. I think the family were so desperate to convict him that yes, they manipulated some evidence, had they not, he would have been convicted. In the end, I guess he won. The actress/mistress though as I recall was a terrible witness for the prosecution, she was entirely unbelievable.
no he is not . he had lived with this neurotic woman granted for the money with the understanding her withdrawal into her "BATHROOM" was not be violated. I think he held back too long knowing she was injecting insulin these creepy women used to control appetite at the time resulting in a fatal incident . He had seen this before with her and her social circle Lee bouvier was anorexic they all almost all had incidents
How come that same lawyer Dersowhatever is defending these kind of characters? The woman no matter how poor ppl feel about "her finances" didn't deserve what happened. SHe was suffering for hours and he sat there.
The name of the movie is called reversal of Fortune. It has a very eerie tone to it. Jeremy Irons plays it brilliantly so does Glenn Close as the spoiled Sunny
I don't know whether Claus murdered Sunny; I wasn't there and did not serve on either of his juries. If he did the crime, though, he escaped man's justice, but he won't escape God's justice.
Only von Bulow knew the entire truth, and he took that to his grave. The movie "Reversal of Fortune" is well done and at the end offers (what I believe is) the most plausible explanation of what happened.
Sometimes I think it is hard to see guilt in people we love. I wonder how OJ simpson's children felt about their mother and him. Did they believe he was guilty? As a parent we want to believe the best in our children, I can't imagine how hard it must be for a small child to hear a parent is accused of killing another parent.
I remember reading the book about this and saw the movie A Reversal of Fortune. But now all these years later, my own questions: when was the last time Sunny had had a full physical - with blood work and a urine specimen? Who was the issuing doctor for the insulin? Or was the insulin purchased illegally? Seems to me Sunny was careless about her health. If he was interested in getting her money, did they have a prenup before marriage?
Yes she indeed was. Also Reversal of Fortune was written by Claus Von Bulow's lawyer, so while it presents one side of the argument, we do not have Sunny's side.
Lived in the same neighborhood and saw him all the time...he was very tall....atractive and new it...his daughters name was cosoma...i couldnt make up my my mind ..during the trial he was always with a dark haired women ....also tall....women liked him ...maybe he did it ..i didnt think he was a great guy...but murderer? Sunny was a drug addict acohol anything is possible with that kind of abuse...i think he just didnt call the doctor....
Yes, he was a playboy, I imagine that galled Sunny, seeing as it was mostly her money. Yet after Cosomo was born, she stopped sleeping with him for a period of three years. Who knows, if he did nor didn't. You can make an argument either way I think.
Not the best Seinfeld episode though. What's your fav episode, I loved Kenny Rogers Chicken, The one with the cable guy, the library cop...I mean just so many. Great show.
The motive was there, but Klaus might not have wanted to kill the mother of his child. She was a spoiled woman given to abusing drugs and alcohol, with a suicidal tendency. The black bag might have been drugs to give her when she needed something to calm her or address low insulin level in her system. Surely if it was proof of murder he wouldn't leave it there for the family to discover. I think he was indeed cold and selfish. But that's a common trait among the wealthy of this world.
Great video. Can't make a judgement call on this one. If he was innocent it would have been awful, but I find myself just feeling for Sunny and her kids - 28 years in a coma was a nightmare for them all. And I wonder whatever happened to the mistress 🤔 ... she comes off as a real piece of work.
First major televised trial. I remember watching the 2nd trial in 1985. I have read Reversal of Fortune and seen the movie. I guess I would say Von Bulow was guilty but I am not certain.
Reversal of fortune is interesting, as Iron's plays him in such a slimey way that you believe he is definitely guilty, yet at the same time the film and book which were written by Claus's lawyer, make the argument he is not.
Why did she not leave him after the first attempt on her life? Sure maybe she didn't remember him giving her a shot but the way he acted, his reluctance to get medical help would have scared me.
Although I believe it to be possible that he attempted to kill his wife, I have more than a reasonable doubt that he did so. The ways both the family and the State of Rhode Island botched the investigation and then lied and obfuscated facts to the defense, rendered a full and fair trial impossible. Therefore, it was appropriate that he was acquitted at the second trial. He was certainly not a good man, but he was entitled to a fair trial.
I agree. But it was not only the state the family hired a private prosecutor and a private detective each of whom made dreadful errors. The one thing a prosecutor can never do is withhold evidence. We saw that just recently in the Alec Baldwin 'Rust' trial.

The things people will do for money. He's as guilty as hell.
İncluding the sharks who defend monsters for money.
No, he is NOT guilty
In her last days the family put her in a nursing home where I took part in her care….her face was still beautiful even then
Oh my. Oh my.
Poor lady, she supposedly had everything. Her mistake was trusting that monster Claus. I have always believed he was guilty.

Poor Sunny…I would never want to “live” like that.
These days they'd be asked if they wanted her to remain on life support artificially fed.
Insulin has been used in the past by the affluent as weight control, just saying. She could have done it herself and by accident.
Why is she being "poor"?? She had had everything and instead of always having a whiny and self-centered attitude she could have done probably a lot of social activity for people who are not that privileged like she was!

@AmyWebster-u6l Ya know I studied English Lit for 6+ years and never could spell. I have learned more as a bookseller but some spellings still elude me.
@@usedscar Yes me too. I am surprised at some simple ones that elude me.
Great video. Well presented facts. But he is clearly guilty, his actions at the time of her first coma were suspicious, she had not been drinking. She wasn't waking up and he simply sat there with her. The only question I have is how he injected her, perhaps he put something in her drink and they did not test for it in toxicology. I think the family were so desperate to convict him that yes, they manipulated some evidence, had they not, he would have been convicted. In the end, I guess he won. The actress/mistress though as I recall was a terrible witness for the prosecution, she was entirely unbelievable.
no he is not . he had lived with this neurotic woman granted for the money with the understanding her withdrawal into her "BATHROOM" was not be violated. I think he held back too long knowing she was injecting insulin these creepy women used to control appetite at the time resulting in a fatal incident . He had seen this before with her and her social circle Lee bouvier was anorexic they all almost all had incidents
Love your Channel!!
Thank you.
RIP Lady ❤
How come that same lawyer Dersowhatever is defending these kind of characters? The woman no matter how poor ppl feel about "her finances" didn't deserve what happened. SHe was suffering for hours and he sat there.
No, she didn't deserve that at all.

I don't understand why she didn't divorce him long before the events in this video.
*28 years in a coma😔*
The name of the movie is called reversal of Fortune. It has a very eerie tone to it. Jeremy Irons plays it brilliantly so does Glenn Close as the spoiled Sunny
Claus Von Bulow was so arrogant.
Claus is definitely guilty, he planned it, he cried when he knew she was doing to recover and make it.
Guilty
I rented an apartment from one of von Bulow younger cousins, they perhaps understandably they were reluctant to discuss the matter.
I don't know whether Claus murdered Sunny; I wasn't there and did not serve on either of his juries. If he did the crime, though, he escaped man's justice, but he won't escape God's justice.
Convenient that he went on a 5 AM walk, the morning of her murder.
Only von Bulow knew the entire truth, and he took that to his grave. The movie "Reversal of Fortune" is well done and at the end offers (what I believe is) the most plausible explanation of what happened.
@@sumajewski8368 It tells a good story. But remember the book the film was based on was written by Dershowitz, Claus's lawyer.
Yes he's guilty.
I think he most definitely did it. What a messed up trail. I don’t know how his daughter couldn’t see that he killed her mother. So sad.
Sometimes I think it is hard to see guilt in people we love. I wonder how OJ simpson's children felt about their mother and him. Did they believe he was guilty? As a parent we want to believe the best in our children, I can't imagine how hard it must be for a small child to hear a parent is accused of killing another parent.
I remember reading the book about this and saw the movie A Reversal of Fortune. But now all these years later, my own questions: when was the last time Sunny had had a full physical - with blood work and a urine specimen? Who was the issuing doctor for the insulin? Or was the insulin purchased illegally? Seems to me Sunny was careless about her health.
If he was interested in getting her money, did they have a prenup before marriage?
Yes she indeed was. Also Reversal of Fortune was written by Claus Von Bulow's lawyer, so while it presents one side of the argument, we do not have Sunny's side.
Klaus got away with murder. Sunny was a fool. Everyone was reduced to ashes. 🌬🕯🇺🇸💩
It was December in Rhode Island, what month was it in NY?
Lived in the same neighborhood and saw him all the time...he was very tall....atractive and new it...his daughters name was cosoma...i couldnt make up my my mind ..during the trial he was always with a dark haired women ....also tall....women liked him ...maybe he did it ..i didnt think he was a great guy...but murderer? Sunny was a drug addict acohol anything is possible with that kind of abuse...i think he just didnt call the doctor....
Yes, he was a playboy, I imagine that galled Sunny, seeing as it was mostly her money. Yet after Cosomo was born, she stopped sleeping with him for a period of three years. Who knows, if he did nor didn't. You can make an argument either way I think.
She didn't have drugs or alcohol in her system
Never heard of her until she was mentioned in a Seinfeld episode.
Not the best Seinfeld episode though. What's your fav episode, I loved Kenny Rogers Chicken, The one with the cable guy, the library cop...I mean just so many. Great show.
The motive was there, but Klaus might not have wanted to kill the mother of his child.
She was a spoiled woman given to abusing drugs and alcohol, with a suicidal tendency.
The black bag might have been drugs to give her when she needed something to calm her or address low insulin level in her system.
Surely if it was proof of murder he wouldn't leave it there for the family to discover.
I think he was indeed cold and selfish.
But that's a common trait among the wealthy of this world.
You don't address hypoglycemia (which is what her medical condition was) with insulin. So there's that.
Great video. Can't make a judgement call on this one. If he was innocent it would have been awful, but I find myself just feeling for Sunny and her kids - 28 years in a coma was a nightmare for them all. And I wonder whatever happened to the mistress 🤔 ... she comes off as a real piece of work.
She came off terribly on the stand, and what was she doing still dating him if he said he 'was going to kill his wife?'
@@MythicMindScape21 Hmm ... If she was telling the truth, ruthless is the word which springs to mind.
GUILTY!!!
He did it. Opportunity. Motive. $$$$$ Also, as a young lawyer, he worked in a law office in the U.K. that handled the first murder by insulin.
I am sure he learned a lot from John Paul Getty indeed.
First major televised trial. I remember watching the 2nd trial in 1985. I have read Reversal of Fortune and seen the movie. I guess I would say Von Bulow was guilty but I am not certain.
Reversal of fortune is interesting, as Iron's plays him in such a slimey way that you believe he is definitely guilty, yet at the same time the film and book which were written by Claus's lawyer, make the argument he is not.
just curious: where are you getting your information, specifically about what Sunny said or felt?
Which line exactly? Can you give me a quote?
I remember this so clearly. I have always felt he was guilty.
Well he gave up his inheritance & all claims to the money for his daughters sake. Idk know if he did it or not. God Bless that family. 🛐
You are right, but his daughter just used the money to help him, so he didn't lose much by giving up the claims.
SUNNY HUSBAND WAS NOT A MAN IN THE TRUE SENSE OF THE MORAL DEFINITION OF A HUSBAND. HE STOPPED MAKING HER FEEL BEAUTIFUL AND DESIRED.
Greed!! Guilty yesterday and today!!!
Always thought he was guilty
I think that is a very sad story.no winners .very nicely told .
And that's what it was and Claus got away with it
Guilty on all counts.
He won't get away with it with GOD because he will DEFhave to stand before GOD ALMIGHTY one day!!!!
He looked EVIL from day 1
Why did she not leave him after the first attempt on her life?
Sure maybe she didn't remember him giving her a shot but the way he acted, his reluctance to get medical help would have scared me.
Although I believe it to be possible that he attempted to kill his wife, I have more than a reasonable doubt that he did so. The ways both the family and the State of Rhode Island botched the investigation and then lied and obfuscated facts to the defense, rendered a full and fair trial impossible. Therefore, it was appropriate that he was acquitted at the second trial. He was certainly not a good man, but he was entitled to a fair trial.
I agree. But it was not only the state the family hired a private prosecutor and a private detective each of whom made dreadful errors. The one thing a prosecutor can never do is withhold evidence. We saw that just recently in the Alec Baldwin 'Rust' trial.
Let us just say too much money does not bring happiness unfortunately 😢
Yes, in two weeks I will release one on Christina Onassis; her story is truly depressing.
Great video of sunny 🌞. She was a very classy beautiful woman who unfortunately met the wrong type of guy? I'm glad he didn't get much in the end !
Thank you
