Dr. Sam Sheppard: Murder or Misfortune Part One

Dr. Samuel Sheppard had it all: Good looks, youth, a promising medical career, a beautiful wife and son, and a home in idyllic Bay Village, Ohio. On July 4th, 1954 all that changed. 

The Librarians dive into the completely bonkers story of the murder of Marilyn Reese Sheppard, the mysterious alleged intruder, her husband Sam's multiple murder trials, a totally random connection to professional wrestling AND Harrison Ford, and the absolute injustice of the legal system and media fanaticism during what was called the Crime of The Century.
