Blackstone's Equation: The Tim Masters Story - Official Trailer (NDH Films)
- 10 years ago
In February, 1987, a woman named Peggy Hettrick was murdered in northern Colorado. She'd been mutilated and left in a field.
That morning, a young Tim Masters passed through that field on his way to school.
Twelve years later, he was convicted of Hettrick's murder, based on stories and drawings he had made as a teenager.
Tim Masters would spend the next ten years in prison for a crime he did not commit.
Blackstone's Equation follows a story a quarter-century in the making, featuring interviews with the people who were there when it happened: the newspaper reporters, the jurors, the lawyers, and Masters himself.
This is a story of the American justice system, the pitfalls of criminal profiling, and the need, in our darkest of hours, to never, ever give up. It is the strangest case of wrongful conviction you will ever see.
