48 HOURS: "Love, Hate & Obsession" (R) (10:00-11:00 PM) was first in viewers, adults 25-54, and adults 18-49, according to Nielsen live plus same day ratings for June 28, 2014.
48 HOURS averaged 4.32 million viewers and a 1.0/03 with adults 25-54 - the demographic that matters most to those who advertise in news - and a 0.7/03 with adults 18-49. Compared to the same night last year, 48 HOURS was up +4% in viewers.
Saturday's broadcast featured an encore of Peter Van Sant and 48 HOURS' report on the murder of one-time millionaire Lanny Horwitz, who was shot nine times and left in a pool of blood in the bathroom of his home in Jupiter, Fla. His ex-wife, Donna, who was supposedly reconciling with Lanny, was in the connected bedroom. Radley, his son, a former gun dealer, was also in the home. The police investigation uncovered a deeply troubled family struggling with debt, a father with an unusually close relationship with his female business partner, and a patriarch who allegedly was hard on his son and his ex-wife.
Ultimately, Lanny's ex-wife, Donna, was charged with murder. At trial, her defense attorney argued Radley had the motive to kill his father, but a jury didn't buy that defense and Donna was convicted.
