An exonerated artist

Detroit artist Richard Phillips, who will turn 73 next month, is having his first exhibition. He is America's most unlikely art phenom, because before becoming celebrated, Phillips was incarcerated for 46 years for a murder he didn’t commit, until he was exonerated last March. Now, with nothing but prison time on his resume, he thought perhaps he could sell his life's work - hundreds and hundreds of watercolors he painted while in prison. Steve Hartman reports.

Harper Lee and her true crime story

For years the author of "To Kill a Mockingbird," and a best friend of "In Cold Blood" author Truman Capote, had researched and written a true-crime novel based on a series of deaths in Alabama, for which a small-town preacher had been rumored to be responsible. Though never found guilty, the reverend did collect life insurance policies on several family members who'd mysteriously died, until he himself was murdered by a vigilante. Rita Braver reports on Lee's fascination with the case, and talks with Casey Cep, author of the book "Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee."
