About this listen

"My God...I think they've killed Marilyn!"

At 5:40 a.m. on July 4, 1954, the mayor of Bay Village, a small suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, received a frantic phone call from his neighbor Dr. Sam Sheppard. The news was too terrible to comprehend: Marilyn, Sam's lovely wife, was dead, her face and torso beaten beyond recognition by an unknown assailant who had knocked Sam unconscious and escaped just before dawn. In the adjacent bedroom, Chip, the Sheppards' seven-year-old son, had slept through the entire ordeal.

Almost immediately, the police began to suspect Sam Sheppard. The local press rushed to cast judgment on the handsome, prosperous doctor. After a misguided investigation, Sheppard was arrested and charged with murder. Sentenced to life in prison, he served for nearly a decade before he was acquitted in a retrial. Until his death, he maintained his innocence.

Culled from DNA evidence, testimony that was never heard in court, prison diaries, and interviews with the Sheppard family and other key players, The Wrong Man makes a convincing case for Sheppard's innocence and reveals the identity of the real killer.

I was fascinated with this case since I was a child. As a retired police officer, it is plain what happens when you jump to a conclusion they fight to make evidence fit your conclusion. How many innocent people were put in prison because of this.
This is a great audio book. The voice keeps you listening.

Great work!

I grew up though out the Sheperd case period. As most I suspect would get news tidbits concerning the case against Dr Shepard and trials. But have until now have. Not taken the time to really study it. What an eye opener this detailed analysis is. It makes one question whether or. not prosecutors, some rush to judgment police, judges. Jurors And the Press truly care about TRUTH and fairness! And I say this as a now old retired attorney,

Outstanding! But troubling
