This one's got it all: true crime, big reveals, legal drama, Uta Hagen. So if any of those things spark your interest, then this one's for you, dear listener. Because even though this real-life case of a wealthy heiress’s mysterious coma initially seemed cut-and-dry, nothing was as simple as it seemed. Was Sunny von Bülow's coma the result of foul play? What was in that strange black bag her children discovered in their stepfather’s closet? And did my lady really take insulin?

Rob teaches Ray about the case of Claus von Bülow, who was accused of attempting to murder his wife to obtain her fortune; how the testimony of Claus's mistress was a linchpin in the investigations; why you probably shouldn't leave incriminating notes lying around if you're being investigated for murder; how to steal the scene in any movie; and why this case may have been one of the first modern examples of publicly sensationalizing the legal process in order to rivet audiences to their television screens.
