Fingerprints Didn't Belong To Tim Masters
The lead detective in a botched Fort Collins murder investigation has acknowledged that police knew about evidence that pointed away from the man who was convicted but later exonerated.
In documents filed this week in U.S. District Court, police Lt. James Broderick said hair, clothing of the victim and fingerprints found on her purse didn't belong to Tim Masters.
Masters was convicted of murder in the 1987 death of Peggy Hettrick and served 10 years in prison before he was cleared by advanced DNA testing. Hettrick's slaying remains unsolved.
Broderick denied allegations in a lawsuit filed by Masters that prosecutors or investigators destroyed the evidence.
"Mr. Broderick admits workable latent fingerprints were found in Hettrick's purse that were not plaintiff's," said the document filed in response to Masters' lawsuit, which claims the physical evidence did not belong to either Hettrick or Masters. "Mr. Broderick admits the hair (on her clothing) could not be determined to have come from plaintiff."
Broderick's response was one of five filed since Friday in Masters' lawsuit, which claims prosecutors and investigators ignored, withheld or destroyed evidence that pointed to his innocence.
"I was surprised that they admitted that much," said Masters' attorney, David Lane. "We always believed that that was true."

If true, why arent the prosecutors and investigsators who with held, destroyed or ignored held resposible. Are not those offenses criminal?? djw
Their naughty hands have been lightly tapped. Any case that Judge Gilmore, and Judge Blair have participated in since working on the Masters case should be returned to a different court and reworked. Supposedly the Colorado Supreme Court was going to look at these. It is my experience that ethics regarding constitutional law does not exist so we will never know the extent of deception by these judges.
I hope The Master Lawsuit bankrupts the city of Fort Collins. Maybe then the Citizens will pay attention to this irresponsible law inforcement community and and its uncontrollable actions. Good Luck
