NightSide - Deborah DiMasi Asks For Compassion

BOSTON (CBS) - Deborah DiMasi, the wife of former House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi, sits down with Dan to renew her request for a compassionate release for her husband. DiMasi is four years into an eight year prison sentence for corruption, and has just been diagnosed with prostate cancer. This is his second cancer diagnosis since his sentence began, and Deborah hopes that her husband's advanced age and ailing health will be enough to get him released on a medical placement program.
