Power, Privilege & Justice

Dominick Dunne's is a very special person to educate you in law history, and his "Power, Privilege & Justice" CourtTV show was something from him that I say deserves basically a perfect score. Dominick Dunne's part in this show makes me think a lot of "60 Minute's" Andrew Rooney, and "20/20's" John Stossel with his original "Give Me a Break" segment.

In "Power, Privilege & Justice", Dominick Dunne tells law stories everywhere from way in the past to his death, and Dominick Dunne has a way of wording the events (including his own comments) so you have an entertaining way to learn a great deal about how the the law can work. The sad part in a lot of his documents is that he shows that the law can work differently (usually better) for the people that have a good amount of money on their side, no matter how much we try to stop this from happening. Although his work was done to show people how things in the law can go very wrong, in hope that this will stop happening some time soon. Dominick Dunne we miss you very much.

Very good show with lots of mystery and intrigue!! Bring it back to Justice Network!

I happen to be a fan of Dominick Dunne's and also an admirer. He is a prolific author, he has survived great tragedy in his life, he has had a fascinating career, and he writes a delicious column for Vanity Fair. What sets Dunne apart is his access to the rich and powerful who try to avoid every other journalist. He knows everyone, and everyone seems to like him and welcome him.

That being said, Dunne is the host of this show, which appears on Arts and Entertainment Network, but all the producers have really done is use his name. He actually offers very little to these stories of murder among the rich and powerful other than to present them. The crimes are portrayed in documentary style - the Menendez brothers, for instance. Many of them will be familiar to the Court TV crowd. Nevertheless, because they're from real life, they manage to hold one's interest, and Dunne combined with A&E give the show that extra boost of class.
