Dr. Sam Sheppard: The Trial That Gripped America

In 1954, Dr. Sam Sheppard's pregnant wife Marilyn was brutally murdered in their Ohio home. Sheppard claimed a "bushy-haired intruder" attacked them both, but prosecutors believed he was the killer. The sensational trial became a media circus, inspired the TV show "The Fugitive," and raised serious questions about how media coverage can influence justice. Decades later, the case remains controversial—was Sam Sheppard a murderer or a victim of a rush to judgment? New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!
