"Your address. ”

Bulow forgot to add New York.
"Your birth date."
"Eleven August, 1926.”
Behind him 101 potential
jurors sat watching and listening.
The clerk informed him he was
charged twice with the crime of
assault with intent to murder and
asked him how he pleaded
"1 am not guilty."
Hu»t answer was not dry. It

Martha "Sunny” von Bulow,
now 50, is comatose hut not dying.
She has been in a deep-sleep I
vegetative state for more than a ,
year — since the last alleged
assault — and her doctors gjvd her
no chance to escape from that liv

The defense charges that the
state's case is purely circumstan

herself with alcohol, gooey
sweets, aspirin, and barbiturates.
The state charges the crimes
