Woman convicted of arson, murder speaks out

A Michigan woman convicted of arson and the murder of her husband is telling her story for the first time. Authorities say Linda Stermer set her home on fire to kill her husband, Todd, and then ran him over with a van when he escaped the flames. She was sentenced to life in prison, but was later acquitted after convincing a judge she didn’t get a fair trial. Now the Michigan attorney general is fighting to reinstate her conviction. Erin Moriarty reports on the story, which will air on "48 Hours" on Saturday at 10/9c.
