A further examination of the story of Laura Hall, who was convicted and sent to prison for the crime of dismembering the body of Jennifer Cave in 2005. Laura admitted to going to the apartment of her boyfriend Colton Pitonyak, at his request, and was confronted with the body of Cave. Put on trial for this crime, and for helping Pitonyak escape, she was found guilty and sentenced to five years in prison. However, after 17 months in jail, Laura Hall was released. Her conviction was upheld and she was out on bond while prosecutors fought to put her back in jail. Pitonyak’s new lawyer said that they had new evidence and that Hall was also responsible for the murder, which she denies. “48 Hours" correspondent Maureen Maher reports. This classic "48 Hours" episode last aired on 7/2/2011. Watch all-new episodes of “48 Hours” on Saturdays, and stream on demand on Paramount+.
