Well, this has happened once before in all my years at 48 Hours. And through our producers that work this, they had made contact with defense attorneys, had a good relationship with them and proposed this interview and Melody agreed to it. It did occur so quickly that after the drama in the courtroom, I dashed to the back. We had set up a room there at the courthouse to do this interview.

And I'm sitting in a chair, looking down at my notes, getting ready for Melody to come in. I look up and she's already in the chair, sitting there staring at me with that face that I had seen on TV screens. And she was raring to go. And I told her, I just listened to one of the most dramatic sentencing hearings of my career. Tell this audience what you want them to know. And it all came out.

The flood of this came out in which she now claimed that her dead mother had told her, we both know that Scott did this. I know that Scott did this, but I want you to protect my grandson. This is what Melody claimed. and that Melody had agreed to do that. Melody didn't take the stand and tell the story.

When I asked her that, it was the classical, my attorneys didn't want me to, my attorneys didn't want me to. Keep in mind, as Melody is making all of these claims, this case had been exhaustively investigated, and police have told us that for them, All of the evidence led to one person, and that person was Melody.

But we sat down and had a really spirited interview, to say the least, where I pressed her on her accusations, and it was fascinating.

Her bringing in her mother, who is dead and cannot speak for herself, that was a big surprise, saying that she had made this promise, but now she had to speak up. The thing, I spent a lot of time challenging her just about how does a mother go after her own son when what's the evidence that he did this beyond the fact that she's created this narrative. But she's really stuck with it.
