New docs could shed light on decades-old case

A man who has spent more than 30 years in prison for a murder he says he did not commit could be a step closer to freedom after a judge overturned his conviction, citing an unfair trial. Crosley Green was found guilty of shooting and killing a 22-year-old man after the man’s former girlfriend identified him as the shooter. Green’s break came when his attorneys obtained notes prosecutors wrote years ago where they said they suspected the victim’s girlfriend of being the real perpetrator. Erin Moriarty reports on the case, which she has been following since 1999.

Doubt surrounds death row inmate's guilt

One California death row inmate's legal battle has captured worldwide attention, even high-profile people from Pope Francis to Kim Kardashian West. Kevin Cooper has always maintained he did not kill three members of a family and their guest in 1983. Last year, an order from Governor Newsom for more DNA testing and new witness testimony gave Cooper a chance for freedom. Erin Moriarty meets with Cooper face-to-face for a new "48 Hours," airing on CBS Saturday at 10/9c.

Student accused of murder apparently fled

Binghamton University nursing student Haley Anderson was murdered in 2018 after disappearing from her off-campus New York apartment. When her friend turned on the "Find My Friends" app, she tracked Anderson's phone to the apartment of fellow nursing student Orlando Tercero, where she found Anderson's body. Tercero, who was born in Nicaragua, apparently fled the country. Maria Elena Salinas reports on the case and the ensuing manhunt for a new episode of "48 Hours," airing Saturday at 10/9c.
