Court TV Crime Stories: Controversial Trials
Editorial Review:
Description
Sam Sheppard - Dr. Sam Sheppard was accused of murdering his wife while their 7 year old son slept in the next room. Until his death, Sheppard maintained his innocence. The inspiration behind the TV series and movie The Fugitive, the case is still controversial four decades later. Recent DNA evidence points to an intruder in the Sheppard home the night Marilyn was murdered, yet much of what happened in the tragic July evening may never be known.
The Chicago Eight - The 1968 Democratic National Convention marked a watershed in American social unrest as anti-Vietnam War protesters of every political hue descended on Chicago, determined to undermine the convention and provoke a confrontation with authorities. They succeeded beyond their wildest imaginations. Battles in the streets led to grand jury indictments against seven left-wing radicals, including activist Abbie Hoffman.
Jeffrey MacDonald - The horrible triple murder and the long delay between crime and trial were enough to make this trial notorious. Joe McGinnis' subsequent best-seller, Fatal Vision, written in cooperation with the murderer, seared the case into the memories of many Americans. MacDonald's lawsuit against McGinnis for betraying his trust raised many issues about "checkbook" journalism.
