Part 8/9:
Claus von Bülow was criminally charged in 1982 with attempting to murder his wife through insulin injections. His trial captured the nation’s attention: he was convicted but later acquitted on appeal, claiming innocence. The case provoked media frenzy and inspired portrayals in books and films, notably the 1990 Hollywood release "Reversal of Fortune," with Jeremy Irons embodying Claus.
Subsequent civil suits by Sunny’s children accused Claus of financial motives, seeking millions in damages. Ultimately, a settlement was reached in 1987, but the scandal left an indelible mark on Clarendon Court’s history.
