Is Sonny Von Bulow still alive? |
|
I was looking for articles about her on google but only get references to the case...apparently 24 years later she is still in a coma...

who that is, but you reminded me of one of my favorite categories from the Long Lost game show, "remote controL"
where the host wouLd say a famous person's name and you'd have to guess dead or aLive.

is a movie based on this case. Jeremy Irons plays Claus Von Bulow. It's creepy. :)

Seems like a century ago. In your research you haven't happened to come across Truman Capote's court deposition when Claus was being tried in this case have you?
What should have been a simple deposition went on for pages and pages with Truman's made-up stories and digressions about what a drug abuser Sonny was ... "And Sonny took this huge syringe out of her purse right there at our table and showed me how to shoot up Demerol!" A lot of it was quoted in New York Times, I think, when the case was being tried. But I've always wanted to read Truman's deposition in full. It was just crazy, but highly entertaining.

9. His deposition wasn't put in the court transcript |
|
Because he died at Joanna Carson's before they had time to cross-examine him over his deposition and his "damming testimony"--the phrase I remember being used at the time. The deposition was reported to have rambled on for so long and so incoherently--irrelevant stuff stuff like, "I had a wonderful old house high up in Brooklyn Heights where Dorothy Parker once lived, with a huge terrace and a fabulous view of the city..." I guess they thought it would be laughed out of court.
