...and pray. Not that it does many alot of good.
There's was a lot more behind this case than the originating article brought out.
Detective Broderick is to the Masters case as Detective Furhman was to OJ's case, as Detective Brocchini was to Scott Peterson's case and as Detective DiSimone was to Rubin "Hurricane Carter's case. LE has more than its share of Nifongs.
Moreover, like verdicts in other cases that have been reversed or should be reversed, there was not a shred of hard evidence against Masters. It was a case built on smoke and mirrors pitched to weak-minded jurors by unscrupulous prosecutors.
No reasonable minded person could have formed the necessary inferences from the alleged evidence to convict Masters. More of the disgusting details behind this wrongful conviction are available in the following link.

Quotes from the article
"The story behind Hettrick's murder and Tim Masters' conviction is one of inferences blurring with facts, character issues blurring with guilt and theater blurring with truth."
.
.
"The killing of Ms. Hettrick translated Tim Masters' grandiose fantasy into reality," wrote Meloy,
who drew this conclusion without even interviewing Masters."
.
.
"Most of these writings and drawings have nothing to do with this grisly murder," wrote
Justice Michael Bender in the dissent. "The sheer volume of the inadmissible evidence so overwhelmed the admissible evidence that the defendant could not have a fair trial. ...
There exists a substantial risk that the defendant was convicted not for what he did, but for who he is."
.
.
"Today, Broderick says he's 100 percent certain Masters is guilty. He calls it a high point in his career.
.
.
Who destroyed Hammond's evidence? And why? "I had a lot to do with that," Broderick says. "It was an ethical decision. Should we re-victimize all these women by telling them they are victims? So it really was an effort to protect them, to preserve these victims' rights."
NOTE: At the end of the article there a good number of particularly lucid posts by readers.
