I read a similar article down here several weeks ago. Whenthe DNA results
come back, then we can speculate. In the meantime, it means that
Sheppard's son is intent on proving his father's innocence and nothing
more. I admire the man's (Sheppard's son) tenacity and doggedness but I
don't form opinions based on what might be found.

I'll also be very interested in the DNA results and will withhold
judgment either way until all the info is in.

Information from a 1996-2000 research of DNA proved that Dr. Sam Sheppard was innocent.
The evidence from a seimen sample was linked to a patient of Dr. Sheppard who was undergoing
psycological treatment and was looking for drugs from the doctors office and residence. The information
being suppressed and at the civil trial brought on by his son for the estate it was ordered that a wrongful
imprisonment award could only be given to the defendant that was imprisoned even though his had spent
a great deal of money to get the evidence needed to exonorate his father.
