A Colorado man, wrongfully imprisoned after a conviction in 1999, will receive $4.1 million from a northern Colorado county. Police began investigating him for a murder when he was 15, and he was convicted on circumstantial evidence and testimony of an "expert" witness.
Larimer County (Colo.) Commissioners agreed to pay him $4.1 million, after a judge exonerated him.
The "settlement -- $3 million of which will be paid by the county's insurer -- closes the case against the county and two of its judges, Terry Gilmore and Jolene Blair, who were prosecutors in the case that jailed Masters", according to a CNN News article posted on AOL News.
Tim Masters' case against the Fort Collins (Colo.) Police Department is pending.
