"48 HOURS" DOUBLE FEATURE

SATURDAY, DEC. 26

9:00 PM, ET/PT - 48 HOURS: "Broken Hearts"

48 HOURS and correspondent Jim Axelrod deliver an emotional hour that explores the best and worst of the human experience in an encore of "Broken Hearts" to be broadcast Saturday, Dec 26 (9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. It begins with two lives taken and ends in triumph, when on Dec. 28, 1986 a team of pioneering doctors and nurses save the life of another. After a senseless shooting, Dr. Ed Lefrak performs the first heart transplant in the greater Washington, D.C. area. The recipient would become one of the longest-living heart-transplant patients in medical history.

10:00 PM ET/PT - 48 HOURS: "Lizzie Borden Took an Axe"

Erin Moriarty and 48 HOURS investigate a double homicide that captured the nation, and take a fresh look at a very cold case that turns up surprising results in an encore of "Lizzie Borden Took an Axe" to be broadcast Saturday, Dec. 26 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Folks have sung the rhyme "Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother 40 whacks ... " But was the rhyme correct? Did Borden kill her father and stepmother in 1892? And what if everything people think they know about the case is completely wrong? Borden, then 32, was acquitted of using a hatchet to brutally hack to death her father and stepmother. Moriarty and 48 HOURS take a new look at the case and present it to a jury today to see if they can separate fact from fable.
