A deeply personal tragedy, and a horrific crime, accelerates Dominick’s transition into a warrior for justice. In a combination of previous episodes from our podcast investigation, we meet Dominique Dunne, the beloved California child of Nick and Lenny, whose murder at the hands of her ex-boyfriend in 1982 was chronicled for Vanity Fair in her grieving father’s own words. We have certain underlying assumptions about how the criminal justice works, and how the courtroom will treat the grieving family of a murder victim. Nick sure did, until it was his family gathered in a Los Angeles courthouse, watching a grave miscarriage of justice play out as the man who murdered his daughter Dominique stood trial. It was a wrenching crime followed by an appalling miscarriage of justice, chronicled by none other than the grieving father of the victim. Alicia takes us through the trial of the man who strangled Dominique Dunne to death, presided over by a self-serving judge with a soft spot for the defense team, with a verdict rendered by a jury which was not allowed to hear key evidence as it debated lesser charges than the prosecution wanted.

In this episode, we take Dominick Dunne through many decades of his turbulent career, and get our man Nick redeemed in the Hollywood scene in the mid-1990s. Dunne knew the Bloomingdales and the Reagans socially back in his Hollywood halcyon days in the 1960s, but was most certainly booted out of their circle by his 1970s downfall. With the publication of his 1984 coverage on the murder of Vicki Morgan, and his subsequent roman a clef An Inconvenient Woman, many folks would not have anticipated that Dunne would get back into the good graces of the West Coast Queens, Betsy Bloomingdale and Nancy Reagan. Dunne does that, and so much more. Included in this episode are so many familiar characters from our ongoing investigation, and a few new characters too, including Jerry Zipkin, Heidi Fleiss, Alfredo de la Vega, Marcia Clark, Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson and his chimpanzee too.
