Twin sisters say they were attacked by a Black man. Are they telling the truth or hiding a family secret? "48 Hours" contributor David Begnaud reports.
Karen and Sharon Sanders testified they were sexually assaulted by a Black man in 1977. A woman who claims to have new information questions that account.
Twin sisters insist they were attacked by a Black man as teenagers decades ago. But now a woman has surfaced with information that may support his innocence.
Vincent Simmons was found guilty at age 25 of a crime he insists he didn't commit and had his conviction overturned just days before turning 70.
In 1977, Vincent Simmons was sentenced to 100 years in prison. Decades later, a newly minted lawyer helped get him released.

Vincent Simmons, now 70, made the accusation in a civil rights lawsuit filed in federal court.
Earlier this year, Vincent Simmons was released from a Louisiana prison after serving 44 years for the attempted aggravated rape of twin sisters. The judge vacated his conviction after finding he didn't get a fair trial, and the prosecution decided not to retry the case. Simmons has always maintained his innocence. "CBS Mornings" lead national correspondent David Begnaud goes on assignment for "48 Hours," and hears from one woman who claims to know what really happened.
