Death Hits Home: The Hargan Killings
Megan Hargan was suspected of killing her mother and sister. Her defense had an unusual theory: her sister was the one who pulled the trigger – with her toe. "48 Hours" correspondent Peter Van Sant reports. | EDITOR'S NOTE: On Nov. 9, 2022, a judge overturned Megan Hargan's double murder conviction, citing juror misconduct. The ruling came after a juror tried to reenact Helen Hargan's shooting using a rifle, and during deliberations told other jurors that the defense's theory of the case was not possible. On Sept. 22, 2023, a jury found Megan Hargan guilty of two counts of first-degree murder for the shooting deaths of her mother Pamela and sister Helen in 2017.
