MARK FISHER


Watch CBS Videos Online

In 2003, Mark Fisher, a handsome NJ college student, was gunned down in Brooklyn after attending a house party with a group of people he had met in a Manhattan bar. The host of the party, John Guica, and a friend, Antonio Russo, were convicted and given 25 to life. Prosecutors said Guica and Russo were trying to toughen up their gang, the Ghetto Mafia.

But Guica's mother refused to believe her son was guilty and decided to go undercover to prove it.

Doreen Giuliano became Dee Quinn, a thinner, blonder, sexier version of herself and playing the damsel in distress set out to befriend one of the jurors. After months of secret audio recordings she claims the juror admitted to misconduct that could win a new trial for her son.

Through his lawyer, the juror says he did nothing wrong. Prosecutors will respond to Ms. Giuliano's motion for a new trial for her son on Thursday.

CBS Inauguration Part II



Barack Obama was able to energize a new generation of voters. At CBS, we wanted to energize a new generation of reporters. So for the president elect's inauguration, we partnered with American University's graduate journalism program who sent more than a dozen young reporters into the melee. Armed with flip cams and wifi connections, they brought back colorful video reports from the field. Their reporting captured the voices of African Americans, young kids, and musicians who jammed through the night.

Three stories made it onto the CBS Hot Sheet political blog. Not bad for newbies.

ON ASSIGNMENT: IRAN FOR PBS


Friday Prayers in Tehran, July 2008

I have just returned from assignment in Iran for PBS Frontline World Rough Cuts. I am going to be a little mysterious about the story. It's fundamentally about the intersection of faith and science. I guarantee you will be surprised with what we found there. PBS will run our story online sometime in October.

In the meantime, here's a flickr gallery of some of our adventures.

POLYGAMY: A WORLD APART


Watch CBS Videos Online

April 3, 2008 -- Texas authorities invaded the compound of a polygamous Mormon sect and took more than 400 children into custody on fears of rampant sexual abuse and underage marriage. The Fundamentalist Church of Later Day Saints, or FLDS, struck back, accusing the state of kidnapping their children without cause or due process. They dared Texas prosecutors to present evidence of sexual abuse and fought their case all the way to the Texas Supreme Court, whose decision would hold the future for an entire generation of FLDS children.
