CBS’ “48 Hours” will devote its 9 p.m. Saturday broadcast to an examination of the murder case filed against former University of Illinois football team captain Curt Lovelace.
Lovelace was tried twice on charges that he suffocated his wife, Cory.
Last week, a Sangamon County jury deliberated for about two hours before returning a not guilty verdict. Earlier, an Adams County jury split 6-6 on the murder charge, resulting in a mistrial.
Circuit Judge Bob Hardwick presided over both trials. He allowed cameras into the courtroom at the second trial, so CBS will have plenty of video to use in its broadcast.
