Done & Dunne

Holy cats! In Part Eight of this series, we arrive at Aristotle's second marriage to Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy.

Everyone else in Ari's life, including his mistress Maria Callas, and his children all have a whole lot of feelings about grand affair. Jackie’s sister and mother also have very strong feelings, which they do not hold back. The whole Kennedy clan is none too pleased either, even though Teddy will step up to negotiate the marriage contract. Calamity abounds in this one – take cover and enjoy the show! All sources can be found at doneanddunne.com.Continue your investigation with ad-free and bonus episodes on Patreon!To advertise on Done & Dunne, please reach out to info@amplitudemediapartners.com.

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.All sources can be found at doneanddunne.com.Continue your investigation with ad-free and bonus episodes on Patreon!To advertise on Done & Dunne, please reach out to info@amplitudemediapartners.com.SourcesDominick Dunne: After The Party (Documentary, Amazon link)Justice: A Father’s Account of the Trial of His Daughter’s Killer, by Dominick Dunne (vanityfair.com)Intimate Partner Violence ResourcesIf you are suffering with intimate partner abuse, here are resources for different countries.
