Danroy "DJ" Henry; Howard and Roslyn Pilmar
9:00 PM ET/PT - 48 HOURS: "Defending DJ"
48 HOURS brings viewers a story of dedicated parents and their struggle to restore their son's reputation after he was shot dead by a police officer, in an encore of "Defending DJ," to be broadcast Saturday, June 13 (9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. CBS News special correspondent James Brown and 48 HOURS take viewers back to the early morning hours of Oct. 17, 2010, when Danroy "DJ" Henry, a Pace University football player, was shot dead by Pleasantville, N.Y., police officer Aaron Hess. That event triggered a seven-year journey for DJ's family as they searched for answers. "Defending DJ" is a story that raises questions about how the police responded; the narrative set early by the Mount Pleasant police, who claimed Henry tried to mow down officers with his car; and what the Henrys believe really happened that night. It's also about one family's intensely personal quest to find the truth about their son's final night alive. Despite questions raised about his actions the night Henry died, Hess maintained he thought his life was in danger when he made the split second decision to shoot into the car and he was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing.
10:00 PM ET/PT 48 HOURS: "Who Wanted Howard Pilmar Dead."
New York City businessman Howard Pilmar was murdered in the headquarters of his office supply store and coffee shop in 1996. Police suspected his wife killed him with help from her brother. Why would she want him dead? It would take more than two decades to get answers. Correspondent Richard Schlesinger and 48 HOURS go inside the mystery behind the death of Pilmar and the search for answers in an encore of "Who Wanted Howard Pilmar Dead?" to be broadcast Saturday, June 13 (10:00 PM, ET/PT). It's a twisted case, sparked by greed, hate, debt and relationships that to the outside were portrayed as wonderful, but behind closed doors were a different story. The broadcast features the first network television interviews with Pilmar's father and stepmother, his family and the supervisor of the investigation.
