CBS News reported that correspondents Anne-Marie Green and Erin Moriarty discussed the case of Todd Mullis, who was convicted of killing his wife, Amy Mullis, with a corn rake. The episode, titled "The Corn Rake Witness," is a Post Mortem installment of the program 48 Hours, according to the CBS News video page.
CBS News reported that the episode includes an exclusive interview by Moriarty with Trysten, whom the summary describes as the couple's son. According to CBS News, Trysten says his father is innocent and is fighting to overturn his conviction.
CBS News also reported that the segment breaks down scientific analysis by new defense experts. The summary states that these experts believe Amy's death, but the text ends at that point, so their conclusion cannot be reported from the summary.
CBS News's summary identifies Green and Moriarty as 48 Hours correspondents and does not say how the program's reporting relates to any court filing, appeal, or ruling. It also does not describe the evidence presented at trial or the findings of the defense experts beyond the partial description above.
Because this report rests on a short written summary of a video segment, it does not include the full interview, the complete expert analysis, or any response from prosecutors, Todd Mullis, or other parties. CBS News's summary does not state those points, and this report does not add them. Readers who want the full account can view the segment directly through the link above.
