Sam Sheppard was an American physician at the center of one of the most sensationalized court cases in modern American history.
Samuel Holmes Sheppard was born on December 29, 1923, in Cleveland, Ohio. He pursued a career in medicine, studying at Hanover College and Western Reserve University before moving to Los Angeles to complete his education. In 1945 Sheppard married his high school sweetheart, Marilyn, and a few years later the couple returned to Ohio.

Simpson didn't have enough names floating around, here's one more you should keep track of — Dr. Sam Sheppard, whose case will become an important comparison point for Simpson's as the show moves on into the legal proceedings. So, who is Sam Sheppard? Dr. Sheppard, who died in 1970, was a doctor who was convicted of murdering his wife in 1954, only to be exonerated in 1966, according to Cleveland State University. His initial conviction came in a trial that, for the time, was a media sensation — not unlike the way the O.J. Simpson case is looked at today. And as the History Channel's website claimed, the trial paved the way for the media blackout now required to ensure juries make unbiased decisions.
Simpson was acquitted of his wife and Ron Goldman's murders in 1995. However, according to The New York Times, he was found guilty in the resulting 1997 civil suit and ordered to pay "$25 million in punitive damages to the families.".
