'20/20' Covers Albuquerque man who beat woman with shovel

20/20 on ABC. The latest episode was called, "Hypnosis, Memory & Mystery." ABC news reported on the latest concerning a local Albuquerque man named Justin Hansen. He was accused by Brittani Marcell of beating her nearly to death with a shovel in 2008. She spent time in a coma and was later hypnotized. She recalled Justin as the man who attacked her. Police also found a drop of blood from him at the crime scene. He was arrested and had recently changed his plea to "no contest." He faces up to 18 years in prison. 

Justin was recently spotted at a local sports game while on house arrest. A judge ordered him not to appear at any sport entertainment venues after "public outcry." (Why plead no contest if you are innocent? That's my question.).

ABC is not re-airing the episode, but you can listen to the entire segment at the 20/20 ABC News Podcast. Go here: "Hypnosis, Memory & Mystery."
