CBS's 48 HOURS 'Guilty Until Proven Innocent' is Saturday's No. 1 Program with Viewers

CBS's 48 HOURS: "Guilty until Proven Innocent" was Saturday's #1 program with viewers, according to Nielsen live plus same day ratings for Feb. 4. 48 HOURS (10:00-11:00 PM) delivered 4.50 million viewers and a 1.0/03 with adults 25-54, the demographic desired most by those who advertise in news.

Saturday's broadcast featured Maureen Maher and 48 HOURS' report on the case against two Indiana men for a 1989 rape. Darryl Pinkins and Roosevelt Glenn vowed they had nothing to do with the brutal rape, and DNA evidence at the time did not tie either man to the case. Yet they both were convicted. At the time of the trial, investigators had a pair of workman coveralls - the kind worn at the shop where Pinkins and Glenn worked - and a victim who said she could identify one of her five alleged attackers. They also had the DNA evidence.

Pinkins and Glenn's fate seemed to be sealed - behind bars - until their cases drew the attention of Indiana law professor Fran Watson, who, along with her students over a 15-year period, continued to dig into the case and search for clues. Everything changed for them when a new technology called TrueAllele came along, which could separate the genetic mixture in the DNA evidence. The technology cleared them both and today they are free men.

48 HOURS: "Guilty until Proven Innocent" is produced by Judy Rybak. Alicia Tejada is the field producer. Mike Baluzy is the producer-editor. George Baluzy is the editor. Peter Schweitzer is the senior producer. Susan Zirinsky is the senior executive producer.
