CBS News’ “48 Hours” correspondent Erin Moriarty closed a chapter of a story on Saturday that she had been following for over 20 years.
In 2000, as Jane Dorotik was awaiting trial after being arrested for the murder of her husband, she allowed “48 Hours” into her home for an interview, which was conducted by Moriarty. The following year, Dorotik was convicted of murder but spent years filing motions requesting new testing of evidence, which resulted in the discovery of serious issues with the conviction. Defense lawyers successfully challenged the case, Dorotik was released, her conviction was overturned, and “48 Hours” was there for all of it.
