The Story of the Murder of Marilyn Resse Sheppard

---

[Fred Nerks]

Sheppard’s case stands as an object lesson about the adversarial system of American courtrooms: Once locked into a theory of a crime, prosecutors are sometimes more interested in winning than in achieving justice. Coroner Gerber’s initial impulse to “get” Sam Sheppard was reflected in the prosecution of the case through the ensuing decades.

Egotist. Wouldn't surprise me if Gerber ended up having an 'illustrious' political career.
