Customer Reviews

So very interesting! He is SO guilty!

I grew up near Bay Village and always found this subject interesting. How anyone can even think that he is innocent is beyond me! Hopefully Marilyn can rest in peace, now that this book proves her husband murdered her. The author did a great job with details and emotions. I would read it again!!

Sam Sheppard Guilty as Hates !

Yes, if you want the truth --THIS is your book, should be titled "Dr. Sam Sheppard, Guilty as Hates"; which is probably where he resides... And you remember the "clawed" instrument that was such a mystery and they thought it was a medical instrument ? Well doesn't every home in America have a device called a hammer (it has a clawed end.)

Everyone Will Enjoy this Book

Once you start reading this book you won't be able to put it down!!!! You don't have to be interested in law to enjoy this book. From the very beginning this book grabs your attention and makes you keep reading. The Sam Sheppard murder case was a truly intriguing case and this book about the trial clarifies the true facts on what really happened the night of the murder. This book is a must read!

Capturing the Fugitive

This book uncovers compelling evidence about the infamous murder that was used as the basis of the movie The Fugitive. As a law student myself, I was pleased with how the book both presents an enrapturing story while, at its core, presenting compelling and convincing legal evidence. This is definitely a must for a summer read.

book of the century about the trial of the century

I have always had an interest in the law and interesting cases so this book was right up my alley. The book erases any doubt about who really did murder Maryln Shepard. The book presented some amazing new evidence about the case and the photos were amazing. A great read for anyone, especially if you have an interest in law and controversial cases.
