==Plot== The story is narrated by [[Sunny von Bülow]], who is in a coma after falling into [[Diabetic coma|diabetic shock]] after a Christmas party. Her husband, the dissolute European aristocrat [[Claus von Bülow]], is charged with attempting to murder the [[hypoglycemia|hypoglycemic]] Sunny by giving her an overdose of [[insulin]]. Claus's strained relationship with his wife and his cold and haughty personal demeanor lead most people to conclude that he is guilty. In need of an innovative defense, Claus turns to law professor [[Alan Dershowitz]]. Dershowitz is initially convinced of Claus's guilt but takes the case because von Bülow agrees to fund Dershowitz's defense of two poor black boys accused of capital murder. Employing his law students as workers, Dershowitz proceeds to defend Claus, wrestling with his client's unnerving personal style and questions of von Bülow's guilt or innocence.
