"48 Hours" Posts Double-Digit Year-to-Year Percentage Increases in These Measures

48 HOURS: "The Girl Next Door" was Saturday's #1 program with adults 25-54, the demographic that matters most to those who advertise in news, and viewers, according to Nielsen live plus same day ratings for July 18.

(S)
was the #1 program with adults 25-54 and viewers. "Blaming Melissa" delivered 3.78 million viewers and a 1.0/04 with adults 25-54.

"The Girl Next Door" featured Moriarty and 48 HOURS' investigation into the murder of Hunter Grissom in an Alabama parking lot and the case against his wife, Tracy Grissom. She maintains she shot him in self-defense after being abused. Prosecutors - and Grissom's family - maintain she killed him in cold blood.

"Blaming Melissa" featured Erin Moriarty and 48 HOURS' investigation into the case against Melissa Calusinksi, a day care worker who was convicted of killing a toddler in her care. During an interrogation, Calusinksi denied hurting the child dozens of times, but then confessed to throwing him down in a way that could cause the injuries described in a pathologist's autopsy on the child. However, new evidence not included in the trial suggests the child didn't die in the manner portrayed at trial, according to her attorney. Her legal team is fighting for a new trial.
