Peggy Hettrick murder 2/11/87 *Tim Masters FREED today; conviction vacated; DNA points to ex-boyfriend, not Tim Masters*

By mylifeofcrime on | From mylifeofcrime.wordpress.com
Tim Masters was released from prison today following another hearing. His murder conviction has been vacated, which is great news for him. Especially since the DNA evidence does not link him to the murder. It does point to an ex-boyfriend of Peggy Hettrick, who she saw at the bar, The Prime Minister, the night she was brutally murdered. The evidenced (if you want to call it that) that convicted Tim Masters was flimsy, shoddy even - made to fit the crime. And now it appears that the police...Read Full Story

Murder Conviction Built On Cop's Lies Indictment Says

By BrianBlackwell on | From brian-blackwell.com
The accuser stood accused Friday as a Colorado police detective faced charges that he lied in the case that wrongfully sent Tim Masters to prison for nearly 10 years. Masters, who served just under 10 years of a life sentence after his 1998 arrest for the mutilation and killing of Peggy Hettrick, has hopes the city of Fort Collins and Larimer County will finally acknowledge that he was railroaded. The city and county have paid Masters a combined $10 million to settle a civil rights lawsuit...Read Full Story

By BrianBlackwell on | From brian-blackwell.com
The lead detective in the Tim Masters case was indicted Wednesday on eight counts of felony first-degree perjury. Each count names Fort Collins Police Lt. James Broderick and carries the possibility of two to six years in prison and a maximum fine of $500,000. "I believe it's appropriate," says David Wymore, the attorney who led the fight to free Masters. "It certainly fits his conduct in the trial. The guy gets what he deserves." Lt. Broderick has been placed on paid leave - a standard step...Read Full Story

He was awarded $5.9 million from the City of Fort Collins. Another $4.1 million came from the Eighth Judicial District of Larimer County. Only Timothy Masters can say if $10 million is...Read Full Story

Brian Blackwell Tim Masters reader comment

By BrianBlackwell on | From brian-blackwell.com
I just read your beautifully written account of the Tim Masters and Dr. Richard Hammond story. I have read multiple accounts of the story, but your style is the best in its accuracy, detail, and enjoyment in reading. I was friends with the Hammonds and lived in the neighborhood where the murder of Peggy Hettrick took place, and where the Hammonds lived (The Landings) in Fort Collins. In fact, I could see the pool of blood when I walked to my mailbox. Both events traumatized me, to say the...Read Full Story
