Judge Rules Fair Trial Possible For Sam Sheppard in Cleveland
In Cleveland Judge Francis J. Talty ordered juror examinations to gauge if Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard can receive a fair trial for the second murder case set to begin Oct. 24. The ruling allows renewal of a venue change request after trial starts, with defense seeking neutrality amid extensive publicity surrounding the 1954 case. He was convicted of second-degree murder in the bludgeoning death of his wife Marilyn, but the Supreme Court later reversed, citing prejudicial publicity and courtroom disruption.
