This week Ryan Ferguson became a free man, after spending nearly a decade in prison for a murder he has always said he did not commit. His family never gave up fighting for his freedom and it finally paid off. ABC News Chief Legal Affairs Anchor Dan Abrams has the story.
Insurance Fraud
Arranging a phony fender-bender in a shopping mall parking lot may seem like a victimless crime, but personal injury fraud is a booming business that boosts insurance premiums for millions of Americans. Arguably, the capital of this crime is Miami, where law enforcement is cracking down hard. ABC's Matt Gutman has more.
The Face of Obamacare
The rollout of President Obama's Affordable Care Act has been met with a lot of criticism, especially concerning glitches on the government website. Only around 27-thousand people managed to sign up in their first month on the federal site and many believe those technical problems were largely to blame, causing some to attack the woman whose face graced the home page of the website. Now she's speaking out in an interview with ABC's Amy Robach.

Taking revenge on a cheating boyfriend, husband, girlfriend or wife no longer requires a dramatic, public confrontation. Now jilted lovers can create shame through simple blog posts on a controversial new website. Here's ABC's Linsey Davis.
