"Young Sam's new Mockery of Justice does more than just defend the elder Sheppard, who died in 1970. With co-author Cynthia Cooper, he thinks he's tracked down the supposed 'bushy-haired' man . . . Richard Eberling, the family's window washer." —Newsweek

The reexamination of the infamous Sheppard case which discovered that vital evidence was fabricated, suppressed or ignored by police, and caused the case to be reopened.

Although Dr. Sam Sheppard's conviction for the infamous and brutal 1954 murder of his wife Marilyn was overturned in the 1960s, the real killer has never been identified. In Mockery of Justice, his son Sam Reese Sheppard and attorney Cynthia L. Cooper reinvestigate the crime. Drawing on recently recovered documents, Sheppard family papers, and interviews with new witnesses and suspects, they offer convincing evidence pointing to the real murderer, evidence that has persuaded the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor to reopen the investigation into the case.
