48 Hours Death by Eye Drops Airs April 20 2024 on CBS

Don’t miss this Saturday’s episode of 48 HOURS titled “Death by Eye Drops,” airing at 10:00-11:00 PM ET/PT on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+.

In October 2023, Jessy Kurczewski faced trial for the alleged intentional homicide of Lynn Hernan, alongside two counts of felony theft. Kurczewski had been accused of poisoning Hernan, her friend, with eye drops. Five years prior, Kurczewski had discovered Hernan dead in her Pewaukee, Wis., condo, where she had been providing care for her friend who was struggling with health issues.

Stephanie Rodriguez, who covered the trial for the CBS affiliate in Milwaukee, described Kurczewski’s relationship with Hernan as close, akin to that of an adopted daughter. Anthony Pozza, another friend of Hernan’s, noted her frustration with ongoing health problems, despite multiple doctor visits.

During the trial, evidence emerged of multiple medication bottles near Hernan’s body, alongside a powdery substance on a plate. Toxicology reports revealed the presence of tetrahydrozoline, a component of eye drops, in Hernan’s system. Prosecutors alleged that Kurczewski stole from Hernan before poisoning her for financial gain.

The defense countered, suggesting that Hernan may have wanted to end her suffering and that Kurczewski was innocent. They argued that Hernan cherished Kurczewski and would have dismissed the prosecution’s claims. Join 48 HOURS as they delve into this complex case and the question of guilt or innocence.

Tune in to CBS at 10:00 PM this Saturday for an all-new episode of “48 Hours,” where every clue could be a game-changer in the quest for justice.
