Summary

In 2001, Charles Forshee was charged with murdering Dillon Ferrar, a two-year old child in his care. Dillon’s four-year-old brother, Lucas, was a key witness at trial, and testified that he saw Forshee put a pillow on Dillon’s face. But the defense argued Lucas might have been responsible for his brother’s death. "48 Hours" correspondent Troy Roberts reports. This classic "48 Hours" episode last aired on 6/20/2003.
