Guilty or Innocent: The Sam Sheppard Murder Case, was a good made for tv movie. It displayed a lot of situations, in the courtroom, jail, family, and media. Through it all George Peppard shows great acting ability portraying Sam Sheppard's emotions perfectly. Guilty or Innocent is educational and entertaining in many ways, especially the courtroom and jail scenes.
