View this post on Instagram Instagram Post48 Hours at 9:00 pm: Christy Martin - The Fight of Her LifeChristy Salters Martin, once billed as the Coal Miner’s Daughter of women’s boxing, became a headline outside the ring in 2010. After returning to her Apopka, Florida home, she was reportedly stabbed and shot. Investigators said her then-husband, Jim Martin, was the attacker. According to Reuters, she escaped, flagged down a passing driver, and reached help.The 48 Hours reair centers on survival, the crime scene evidence, and the later courtroom outcome. In 2012, Jim Martin was convicted of attempted second-degree murder and received a 25-year sentence, as reported by the Orlando Sentinel. The broadcast, originally aired in 2021, also traces Christy Martin’s career rise, including her Sports Illustrated cover and major undercard bouts, and the long recovery that followed the attack. Viewers next week can expect a tight recap of the investigation and trial record, along with Martin’s own account of the day she nearly died. The episode also places her story alongside the outreach work that followed. Also read: Who is John Tanner?

Authorities said money appeared to be the motive.What followed was a case built on forensic links and digital trails. Prosecutors later presented evidence, including a handgun tied to the killings, items allegedly bought before the crime, and devices belonging to the victims recovered from the suspect’s car, per local court coverage. Haobsh was convicted of three counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole. In 2024, an appeals court affirmed the conviction, as reported by Noozhawk.The new report aims to walk through the timeline, the arrest, and the courtroom findings while noting what investigators say about the motive. Where claims rest on early statements or contested points, the broadcast uses reportedly and allegedly with care, in line with the public record from the time.What to expect from 48 Hours next weekTwo different kinds of cases fill the night. First, a survivor story that connects a famous athlete’s public life to a private crisis and a verdict. Then, a family murder inquiry that moves through lab results, receipts, and phone data to a guilty finding and an affirmed judgment on appeal."48 Hours"' Peter Van Sant, Anne-Marie Green, Erin Moriarty, and Natalie Morales (Image via CBS)The pairing fits the 48 Hours approach: one hour that revisits a known file with new context, followed by a fresh report that traces how detectives and prosecutors said they solved a complex crime. According to CBS News archives, both hours lean on records, sworn testimony, and interviews that underline the facts audiences will hear next week.Also read: The true story behind Eloá Pimentel case ahead of Eloá the Hostage: Live on TV
