NEW EVIDENCE DESTROYS LEGEND OF 'WALKING TALL' SHERIFF BUFORD PUSSER

In a stunning turn of history, prosectors allege legendary Tennessee lawman Buford Pusser killed his wife almost 60 years ago.

If Pusser, who died in a mysterious car crash in 1974, were alive today, there would be probable cause to bring an indictment.

Fresh evidence suggests Pusser, a rural county sherif, staged the crime to look as though he and his wife had been ambushed - a version of events that inspired the hit movie "Walking Tall" about Pusser's one-man war on organized crime.

Modern forensic tests determined Pauline Pusser, who died in 1967, was a victim of domestic violence.
