in our "morning rounds," the soda business is desperate for some pop. for the tenth straight year soda consumption is down. americans drank 1.5 billion fewer cases last year than in 2004 and that's when soda sales hit an all-time high. vinita nair is here to show us how the soda makers are going to shake things up. >> good morning. sales are booming as people turn away from high calorie and chemically sweetened diet sodas. another class of beverage is looking to take advantage. craft soda. >> right over here is a combination of our syrup and the liquid 2 which is the flavor. >> reporter: after the appalachian brewing company in central pennsylvania, they're turning out four different types of craft soda. >> we have a root beer, diet root beer, ginger root beer and

white pine root beer. >> higher quality ingredients. more attention tosmall batches. >> does craft soda mean there is less sugar or natural sugar? >> i think one of the definitions of craft would be as natural as you can get. natural sweeteners so cane sugar. if we don't use natural sugar we use is stevia which is a plant. higher quality, less process. >> reporter: less process but more profits. at least that's the hope. craft soda is trying to follow the path of craft beer which today accounts for 20% of total beer sales in the united states. that amounts to more than $19.5 billion. so naturally craft soda has gotten the attention of the big boys pepsi in particular. >> we think there's a good healthy prospect of where craft could go going forward.

>> reporter: last year they launched the limited release of caleb. >> introducing mountain dew. >> reporter: they've also created a craft version of mountain dew. noticeably missing, the green color. pepsi has introduced sub born. they will only be available from sodas in select restaurants. >> flavor is everything everywhere. the sky's the limit in terms of choices. the one thing that's not a choice is taste and consumers demand more than ever tasting drinks. >> reporter: are craft sodas any better for you than the bigger mass produce brand? not according to nutritionist mary nessel.

>> because so many want lesser sugar and more healthier they'll try to make something that appeals to the consumer. i would advise anyone drinking these products to read the labels carefully. you have to think of the soda craft or not, liquid candy. >> that could make soda more expensive it's always going to be more. >> it costs more to taste better. >> we're not ashamed of that. >> the flavor of cola comes from the kola nut extract. it also has fewer calories. >> thanks. we're in the toyota green room with superstar rob gronkowski and his dad gordie. >> come on. let me see. oh, yeah. look at that. wow. your dad's giving you some competition. >> no, he's not. >> how long did he keep you up

tomorrow night on "48 hours," new developments on a case erin moriarty told us about in february. an anonymous call may lead to a new trial for a woman accused of murdering a little boy. here's a preview. >> reporter: for years this child care worker has been incarcerated for a crime she says she didn't commit killing a 16-month-old toddler who had been in her care. >> i would never, ever hurt a child. i would never put my hands on anybody. >> reporter: melissa who worked at day care center in lake county, illinois was an unlikely killer. she was 22 old with no criminal record and no history of anger, but she was the last adult with a child in january 2009 when he became unresponsive

and died. according to the pathologist who did the autopsy, the child had suffered a skull fracture although he had no open wounds or serious bruises. melissa was questioned two days after his death. >> it was flat out murder. >> reporter: in an intense and at times aggressive interrogation -- >> that story you're giving us is a load of [ bleep ]. >> reporter: without any lawyers or her parents present, melissa repeatedly denies hurting ben. more than 70 times. but after nine grueling hours she admits to a terrible you get mad at him and you throw him on the floor. you throw him on the floor? >> no. >> reporter: the prosecutors had no trouble convincing the jury to con vgtkonconvict her of first-degree

murder. >> she said she became frustrated and threw the baby to the floor. >> you said you through him down hard. did you, melissa? >> i did not. they were putting words in my mouth. >> you didn't have to say that. >> i didn't. but they wanted me to say that so we could all go home. >> but now there's medical evidence that may prove melissa gave a false confession. just last month a call to milliliter's father led to a discovery of x-rays taken before the trial. the new coroner thomas rudd shows ben did not suffer a skull fracture. what's more, he believes the death was really caused by an old injury. >> this is not a normal shaped skull of a 16-month-old child. >> reporter: attorney kathleen zellner says the x-rays are a game-changer. >> this is medical evidence that was withheld. i feel extremely confident she

will get a new trial. >> erin moriarty joins us at the table. good morning. i remember these reports because i was so convinced this woman was guilty and you were not. >> i know. you take a look at this confession and it is a very credible confession. she throws this baby down. but why these x-rays are so significant is there is no skull fracture, and the prosecution said 30 times during the trial, that's what this child had. >> where did they find the x-rays? >> that's an interesting thing. an anonymous phone call said look for them. they were right in the file. so clearly someone made a mistake and didn't pull them out during the trial or they were deliberately withheld. >> do you know who made the call? >> no but it had to be someone who knew the significance of the x-ray. >> what's the theory? if it wasn't her, who was it? >> we know there was a significant injury three months

before she worked there. something happened earlier but we don't know who caused it. this young woman, they changed the manner of death to undetermined. >> so there will be a hearing though. >> we hope. the judge is going to make a decision whether to hold a hearing in september. >> fascinating story, erin. >> new development. >> i love a new development too. thank you, erin moriarty. you can watch erin's full report. she's calling it "blaming melissa." it's a double and then erin reports on "the girl next door." i love these titles. that's tomorrow night right here on cbs. a college student inspires nike to step into a new venture. disabled athle
