Death Hits Home: The Hargan Killings | Sneak peek

Megan Hargan was suspected of killing her mother and sister. Her defense had an unusual theory: her sister was the one who pulled the trigger – with her toe. "48 Hours" correspondent Peter Van Sant reports Saturday, June 3 at 9/8c on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.

Editor's note: On Nov. 9, 2022, a judge overturned Megan Hargan’s double murder conviction, citing juror misconduct. A juror disobeyed the judge’s instruction not to do outside research and shared her findings with other jurors. Hargan’s retrial is scheduled for Sept. 5, 2023.
