Supreme Court orders new trial for Dr Sam Sheppard case
The Supreme Court 8 to 1 ruled that Dr Samuel Sheppard must be granted a new trial or release due to unfair publicity and courtroom bias that tainted his 1954 murder conviction. Justice Clark condemned pretrial and press intrusion, noting a chaotic, reporter dominated trial environment. Prosecutors planned to decide on retrying in Ohio, possibly after fall term.
