F. Lee Bailey Testifies in Sheppard Case
From Times Wire Reports
F. Lee Bailey, who won acquittal for Dr. Sam Sheppard at the doctor’s second murder trial, testified in Cleveland that two neighbors killed Marilyn Sheppard in the 1954 case that partly inspired “The Fugitive” TV series. Bailey’s version of the murder is at odds with the theory supported by the Sheppards’ son, Sam Reese Sheppard, who has sued the state claiming his late father was wrongfully imprisoned for 10 years for his mother’s death.
