Has the World Finally Turned a Corner?

The Murder Case that Inspired the Plot of “The Fugitive”

Dr. Sam Sheppard (December 29, 1923 – April 6, 1970) I wouldn’t have thought to even look at this event, if it hadn’t been for this quote from “Denial of Justice”. There is a lot of Q & A in … Continue reading

We Were Born on the Same Day, Six Years Apart
