Bailey made a name for himself initially when he joined the defense team of George Edgerly who was accused of killing his wife in 1960. In 1961, Bailey took over as defense attorney for Doctor Sam Sheppard who was already convicted of killing his wife years earlier. His efforts enabled Sheppard to be released from prison in 1966. Sheppard’s case is widely believed to be the inspiration for the TV series and film “The Fugitive.”
