Alumnus Produces Death Penalty Film
Colorado Law alumnus Douglas Bry ’78 has produced The Life Penalty, a film about the death penalty and specifically about the jury selection work of another Colorado Law alumnus David Wymore ’76, who successfully exonerated Timothy Masters, a Fort Collins resident who had been convicted in 1998 for the murder of Peggy Hettrick. Wymore worked tirelessly for three years along with co-counsel Maria Liu, eventually gaining Masters’ freedom through the use of DNA evidence.
The film was shown as part of the Boulder International Film Festival and the South Africa International Film Festival. It is available as part of the 4 Disc DVD set, The Life Penalty and Selecting a Colorado Jury, approved by the Colorado Supreme Court for 13 CLE credits. Proceeds will go to the David Wymore College of Criminal Defense and Jury Selection, which is being coordinated by Associate Clinical Professor Ann England. Visit their website to see a preview of the film and to order.
