The nephew, Melvin Lane Powers, died in 2010 at the age of 68. Somehow he managed to have success despite the murder and scandal and financial setbacks. He never married.
The Candy Scandal.Gloriously decadent and deeply tragic.Decieved by glamour looks like justice was not served in this case. So good to know you Chivas Regal.

That woman was a disgusting piece of crap, along with her boy toy nephew, what sorry excuses for human beings. What happened here is yet another example of what happens when rotten-to-the-core murderers have money. Like Dunne, said, justice always takes a backseat. They buy themselves expensive lawyers that intimidate the prosecutors, turn the trial into a circus, and fool moronic juries. How tragic that the victim's own money paid for the defense and acquittal of his murderers.
Do you notice how she uses the kids like props? Like she holds the baby and gets the boy engaged with the reporter to make herself look sweet and innocent? Bleech!
15:29 I laughed so hard at this one I spit my Dalmore 62 all over my Givenchy jumper! Seems ol" Dom is dumb when it comes to who's screwing whom! The royals and their so-called "blue blood" buddies have been raping and molesting their *OWN* children and marrying their relatives (and not just cousins or nephews or nieces but their siblings!) since, well....*FOREVER!!* (Keeps the mega buck$ in the family, don'tcha know!) History is rife with the sordid details! The inbreds are absolutely *notorious* for their "privileged" sexual practices.
You are delusional and poorly educated (for some one who is supposedly rich) ignorant, arrogant and utterly wrong in what you just said. People of 'your class' have always behaved in a depraved, disgusting, entitled and pathetic way and probably always will. Your comment is actually proof of it. The sad thing is you think every one wants to be like you, a pathetic loser living off your families money, who's never had to work hard at anything, i've got news for you buddy, You came out of the same hole as every one else on this planet and your going to go into the same one as every one else too and your daddys colonial blood money wont save you from that. If being rich means having an attitude like yours and having to socialise with vapid shallow idiots, who do nothing all day - i'd rather lay down in the street and a die a homeless bum. It would be infinitely more interesting than having to deal with boring, conformist, snobs, jetting around the place sun bathing, drinking champagne, and having affairs with each others wives and husbands. There is actually more to life you know, but then i guess you don't, because you only see life from the one dimensional perspective you were brought up with. why don't you go marry one of your cousins and count your money.
Shelly Tuohy I submit that he gets his rosy view of the rich (as distinct from the aristocracy we were discussing) mostly from subscribing to Town & Country. A fantasy.
Where the privilege meets the phreaky. Are aggressively gnarly crazies elevated as often in other countries as they are in the US? Just how special are we here?
stupid freekin jurors. they had obvious motive, the dude flew in the day before the murder and flew out the day after, his prints were in the condo, witnesses placed him near the scene at the time of the crime, obviously the victim would not have let him into the condo willingly, it is so obvious. God I hate it when some hot shot high dollar lawyer hustles a bunch of idiots. congrats you morons, you set two murderers free.
I like Dominick Dunne but the more I watch his shows the more I notice he has a habit of attributing certain traits of character to class. In this case he associates incest to that woman's low social economic background. Surely he is not that ignorant. Incestuous relationships happen in all social economic classes from poor to aristocracy.
Braddock E. Hutton Yep, same for me, really liked the format of the 'show' and some of his commentaries, but as you say his 'biases' are a real turn off
Lol if he was european he'd understand that all aristocrats are inbred throughout history, they did it to keep money and titles etc in their own families. So he's way off the mark, it was the upper classes who could get dispensation from the pope to marry in their own families, while the 'common' people couldnt. but your right its very disappointing and not to mention highly uneducated for him to insinuate such a thing.
...I'm in awe. People nowadays are convicted with a fraction of the evidence in this case and these two GOT AWAY WITH IT??? How many more red flags did they need?? Unbelievable...how gullible Americans were back then.
The way she relishes the lime light and laughs with reporters at her husbands murder trail is disturbing. Her cold blooded behaviour is another red flag and she should not have walked free.
Surprised she was accepted in River Oak Society. With her background, how could she hold her own among intelligent and urbane people? Also, those people have a way of finding about one's breeding. If it's anything likechers, they treat you like a leper.

disgusting! My nephews are my age, by marriage not blood, and there is nothing on this earth that could even make me THINK along the lines of Candy! Dunne is right, I don't care how fabolous you are, sex w the kinfolk is not ok!
Who the heck goes into a clinic for months of migraine treatments. I have migraines. You take a pill. What the crap. That must have been nice. To take off for months for headaches. That's strange.
+GlowingMpd I know. I get them a lot and when I do its awful. They last no less than 48 hours and they hurt so bad I just cry. I feel for anyone who has them. I just still don't get going to a clinic for weeks to treat them. I just go to the ER and they give my two shots and then send me home. No clinics. Is it because she was rich or what. I think Candy just used it as a place to get away from the press.
He said the public likes this salacious story.....Um, nope, it's an abomination and only fuels the next generation of the media and "attention" seeking idiots. HOW in the world, especially during that era, could / would anyone fall for her fake soft spoken evil lies and manipulations? She was the front runner and inspiration to the future Kardashians.... beyond sad. Well, now it's 2017, let's get back to some civility and save future generations from this kind of trash...ians !
Maybe it's just me but I don't think this skank is beautiful at all. She looks like a cheap floozy with over-bleached, badly styled hair and the black eyeliner. She might have been attractive in a flashy sort of way when she was very young, but her looks, if she ever really had any, didn't hold up. Besides, pulling the Southern Belle bit, batting the eyelashes when you're past your mid-twenties is nauseating. I'm from the south so I can make fun of her, sort of like Catholics can tell Catholic jokes but Protestants can't; Jewish folks can tell Jewish jokes but gentiles can't; Southerners can rag on Southerners but Yankees can't (even though they always do).
