ABC News' NIGHTLINE Ranks No. 1 in Total Viewers for the Week of April 2

When 19-year-old college student Mark Fisher was murdered in an alleged gang-crime, the public outcry was deafening. John Giuca and Antonio Russo were both convicted and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for Mark's murder. In February, John's conviction was overturned by an appeals court which said the prosecutor made errors that could have impacted the jury's decision and two weeks ago Antonio confessed to detectives that he shot and killed Mark but did not implicate John. As John remains behind bars, awaiting an appeal by prosecutors of the recent ruling and a possible retrial, ABC News' Juju Chang sits down with Doreen Quinn Giuliano, John's mother, who has worked to try to prove her son's innocence for years. Doreen describes the lengths she went to, to help her son, including going undercover by changing her appearance and renting a basement apartment in order to seduce and expose a juror who she says should never have been on the jury. “20/20” airs on Friday, April 6 (10:01 – 11:00 p.m. EDT) on ABC.
