Synopsis:
Jim Avila reports on how two judges from Pennsylvania got rich by receiving more than two million dollars in kickbacks from a privately run detention center even as some juvenile offenders were being sent away to the center for months. Some kids, often first-time offenders, claim they were sent away for minor offenses and that their parents were never advised that they should have a lawyer during hearings which often lasted only a few minutes. Plus: Stacey Lannert shot and killed her father when she was just 18 and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. At the time prosecutors argued that it was a cold-blooded killing with greed as the motive. But over a dozen years later, the cop who took her confession but did not testify at her trial and some members of the jury that convicted her said the punishment did not fit the crime. ABC News Anchor Cynthia McFadden continues her reporting. Then, Candy Spelling, wife of the late Aaron Spelling and mother of Tori Spelling, is interviewed about her tell-all book.
