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.

Nutrition is a notoriously sticky subject. For every single person out there who preaches the benefits of eating plenty of protein, there's an army of vegans storming their gates, forks in hand, ready to tell them how animal protein is killing them.

This past April, electronic dance music pioneer Paul Oakenfold--with more than 300 hikers--made the 37-mile hike through Nepal's remote villages and the Himalayan Mountains for a groundbreaking live concert event, spinning a set at the base camp of Mount Everest to launch the SoundTrek series.

Like many undergraduates at Yale University in the mid-1960s, Bill Hannay was fond of avant garde literature, especially if it tested people's commitment to the constitutional principle of freedom of expression. He followed, for example, the obscenity trials over the publication of the novel Naked Lunch underway in Los Angeles and Boston. The latter turned out to one of the last landmark decisions on obscenity in the 20th Century. Hannay's passion for the law led him to a career as an attorney, and he has been a partner at Chicago's Schiff Hardin LLP for 30 years, but another life-long passion - for the theater - never waned, either.
