It is a murder case like no other in American history: three trials, over 46 years - reaching three different verdicts. Get the inside story of what happened as told by the people who were there, as FOX 8 presents: "Sam Sheppard: Case Closed."
At the second trial, F. Lee Bailey conducted one of the most famous cross-examinations ever, proving the state's star witness either exaggerated or lied about knowing the identity of the murder weapon. That, coupled with new scientific evidence, and the choice to try the case towards the younger members of the jury, helped lead to a not guilty verdict.
