"48 HOURS" SATURDAY DOUBLE FEATURE

Saturday, July 8

9:00 PM ET/PT - A young Florida couple was planning a wedding and their life together when the future groom was shot and killed at his front door. Patrick De La Cerda was expecting a delivery of the engagement ring for his fiancée, Jessica Devnani. Instead, investigators say, he was met with a hail of bullets when he went to the door on Feb. 27, 2018. Peter Van Sant and 48 HOURS report on the shooting and the unexpected twists in the investigation in an encore of "The Ring: The Murder of Patrick De La Cerda," to be broadcast Saturday, July 8 (9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+. The case shocked the Deltona, Fla., community, and set off an investigation that would expose a detailed murder plan crafted, investigators say, by a man jealous of the couple's relationship. 48 HOURS features interviews with Devnani, De La Cerda's family, a sheriff's detective and prosecutors. Watch a preview.

10:00 PM ET/PT - Michael Politte was just 14 years old when he was charged in 1998 with murdering his mother, Rita Politte, who died after being hit in the head and set on fire in her Missouri home. More than three years after the crime, he was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the murder, though he maintained he was innocent. He spent nearly 20 years in prison before a new law passed in Missouri that made him eligible for parole. Now out on parole, Michael Politte claims he knows who is responsible for killing his mother and talks with 48 HOURS correspondent Erin Moriarty in an encore of "The Case Against Michael Politte," to be broadcast Saturday, July 8 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+. Watch a preview.
