FORT COLLINS — Fort Collins police have reopened an internal investigation into an officer accused of lying in the investigation and trial of Timothy Masters, whose 1999 murder conviction was later overturned by DNA evidence.
A Larimer County grand jury indicted Lt. James Broderick on eight counts of first-degree perjury in June. Broderick, who has denied wrongdoing, is due in court today for an arraignment.
Fort Collins Police Chief Dennis Harrison said Thursday that he has met with Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck, who has been appointed as special prosecutor in the internal investigation, and they determined there was enough new evidence to reopen the investigation.
