Sleeping with the Enemy, part 2

The Rose Petal Murder
The suicide was so perfectly orchestrated, so operatic in its sweep and tone. Young Greg de Villers lay dead. Rose petals covered his chest. Beside him lay a copy of his wedding picture and a crumpled letter from a dashing Australian doctor who was his wife's lover.


Christian Longo
Over his head in debt, he dreamed up get-rich-quick schemes and when they failed, he murdered his wife and drowned his two children. Then he escaped to the Caribbean where he took on the persona of a NY Times journalist.


Claus von Bulow
Danish gentleman is convicted of trying to murder his beautiful heiress wife with an insulin injection. Sunnys children and maid firmly believed that he turned her into a living vegetable to get access to her money so he could carry on with his mistress.

But enter Alan Dershowitz, legendary appeals attorney, who in von Bulows second trial reveals Sunny as "a self-destructive, deeply depressed, and addictive woman who experimented with drugs not prescribed for her, and who continued to engage in life-threatening behavior after experiencing life-threatening emergencies and after being warned by doctors to desist."


Joel Steinberg
New York City criminal lawyer, described by many as "nice enough, but a little eccentric," partnered with an attractive, gentle editor and writer of children's books. Without benefit of legal adoption he took custody of baby girl Lisa and later baby boy Mitchell.

When Lisa died from a fractured skull, authorities suddenly became aware of the monstrous abuse the brutal, drug-obsessed control freak Steinberg committed on his family and the nightmarish destruction of a promising woman executive.

Steinberg was released from prison in 2004.
