'Fugitive' Case Still Running
CLEVELAND: Real-life "Fugitive" Dr. Sam Sheppard was convicted of his wife's murder in 1954. Forty five years later Sam Reese Sheppard is still fighting to clear his father's name -- and collect a $2 million wrongful-arrest payday for himself. His case was bolstered Thursday by new DNA tests that reveal that blood on the elder Sheppard's pants was not his own.
Prosecutors maintain that the original crime scene has been trampled -- and have asked the Ohio Supreme Court to dismiss the younger Sheppard's suit. But Terry Gilbert, an attorney for Sheppard's son, is already claiming victory. A ruling is expected sometime this spring.
