WHY: Timothy Masters' case represents what those who seek justice fear most: an innocent person sitting behind bars. Masters was exonerated and released after spending nearly a decade in prison for a crime he did not commit. The Colorado Innocence Project, housed at Colorado Law, hosts this discussion that will focus on Masters' wrongful conviction, his protestations of innocence, his court battles and how he ultimately regained his freedom. Masters also won a multi-million dollar civil suit against the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County, which won the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association's Case of the Year award.
