Quick synopsis: Peggy Hetrick was murdered in 1987. The Fort Collins prosecutor's office, no doubt trying to resolve the case quickly, identified a teenage boy as a suspect due to some vicious-looking drawings he had done - and little else. He was convicted of murder in 1999 despite a lack of any physical evidence. Later it turned out that the prosecution had deliberately suppressed evidence.
In 2008, Masters' lawyers requested a new trial based on DNA testing. The judge responded by dismissing all charges against him instead. Fort Collins paid Masters $10 million recently to settle a lawsuit he brought.
Now the cop who framed him is getting charged. I hope that the prosecuting attorneys in that case (now judges) will get charged soon too.
