Dr Sam Sheppard Bail Denied as Father Dies in Jail
An appellate court in Cleveland denied bail to Dr Samuel H Sheppard convicted of second degree murder and serving a life term. His father Dr Richard Sheppard 64 died last night after his wife Marilyn killed herself 11 days earlier. Sheppard cried in jail upon hearing of his father’s death as guards maintained strict supervision and his brothers visited him at the jail. The ruling cited state law denying bail for life imprisonment.
