That's about five years after Benjamin's death and almost three years after Melissa was actually convicted of his murder. When you first interviewed Melissa, was there anything that stood out to you about her? What were your impressions of her?

So, in fact, in the hour, we see a portion of this very long, intense police interrogation. Melissa repeatedly claims, and we're talking about more than 60 times, that she did not hurt Benjamin. But then after nine hours, she admits to throwing him forcefully on the floor. So I want to play an extended clip of that interrogation.

Well, so let me ask you about the attorney. And I once again was hearing Erin's voice in my head. She always says, no matter what, ask for an attorney, innocent or otherwise, always ask for an attorney first. And it seems like, you know, Melissa's parents clearly are very, very invested and were very involved. At this point, do you know if anyone intervened?

Right. Stephanie, you brought up the x-rays because that was the other, oh my gosh, kind of component to this hour. Big part of the case, these x-rays that were given to Melissa's original defense attorney, Paul DeLuca, before the start of the trial.
