60 Minutes Healing Justice, Lowriders of New Mexico Airs July 13 2025 on CBS
Lesley Stahl
This Sunday, July 13, 2025, 60 Minutes delivers an emotionally powerful and visually rich hour of storytelling, airing from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. Et/Pt on CBS. The episode features two updated segments, one of which has been more than a decade in the making.

The evening opens with Healing Justice, a rare double-length segment reported by Lesley Stahl. Sixteen years ago, Stahl introduced viewers to Jennifer Thompson, a rape survivor who learned that her mistaken identification had led to the wrongful conviction of Ronald Cotton. Since that time, Thompson has dedicated her life to bridging the painful divide between crime victims and the wrongfully convicted. In this updated report, 60 Minutes is invited to one of her Healing Justice retreats, where victims, exonerees, and their families come together for a multi-day journey of acknowledgment and restoration. The segment highlights the human cost of wrongful convictions—and the unexpected bonds that form in the effort to heal.
