I was in high school then. It was a very popular show. It was based on the true case of Dr. Sam Sheppard, who went to jail for killing his wife. The case was highly publicized and very controversial.

There was a lot of sympathy for the real Dr. Sheppard. Many people thought he was innocent. It is quite likely that he did not get a fair trial. He was eventually released from jail, and he died young. Years later, many experts felt that the real Dr. Sheppard did kill his wife after all.
