I remember Alan Dershowitz, growing up in the 80's in Rhode Island there was a very famous case of a socialite lapsing into a coma at christmastime in their Newport, RI mansion, and her husband, European aristocrat Claus von Bülow, was charged with attempting to murder the hypoglycemic Sunny by giving her an overdose of insulin.
These people were right up there with the Vanderbilts, Duponts, Kennedy's, etc in Newport society.
The story was all over the news.
Dershowitz was Von Bulows attorney, and he got him acquitted.
They even made a movie about it, with Ron Silver as Dershowitz, and Jeremy Irons, as Von Bulow; a role that won him the academy award for best actor that year.
Heres a clip:
