Doc Never A Suspect

Special prosecutors in the Tim Masters case said Wednesday that a Fort Collins surgeon who was charged in a series of sex crimes was never considered a suspect in the Peggy Hettrick murder case.

In a court motion, they also emphasized that the two former Larimer County prosecutors who won a conviction of Masters - and had social ties to the late Dr. Richard Hammond - claim no knowledge that the surgeon was eyed by police as a suspect in the homicide.

As a result, any failure by the Larimer County District Attorney's Office to disclose information about Hammond does not justify granting a new trial to Masters, according to the motion filed by Adams County District Attorney Don Quick and his lead prosecutor, Mike Goodbee
