Where can I find full episodes of Drawn To Murder? I've checked the CBS site and Hulu. All I find is the excerpt.

Please let me know what happened the last five minutes of Drawn To Murder. I tivo'd it and it ended before the end of the show.

Someone commented on the death penalty. They should have the death penalty but only in clear cut cases. Such as DNA evidence, an eye witness, a confession, etc.. Certainly the Masters case would not qualify. Anytime an innocent person spends time in jail and is wrongly convicted because of a cop or prosecutor withholding evidence or such should be put in jail themselves. To put someone in jail when they know the person is probably innocent just to pad their case record is a crime!

How did the story end? I recorded it and the last few minutes didn't record. I really felt sorry for this guy. You never know if a person is innocent or guilty but I felt like he got railroaded.

I don't think it was your Tivo's fault. I recorded a full hour, and watched almost 5 full minutes of commercials at the very end, running over the hour mark, so that end of the story was not recorded for me either.
I'd like to know what happened also. :) Anyone?

My tivo stopped the last five minutes of the show, arggghhh! What happened? Did he get a new trial or is he left to rot in jail? All I can say is what an injustice, either way you slice it. How can drawings be so strong that they land you in jail? This is America? Pffft. If anyone would be so kind as to let me know what happened in the last five minutes, I would certainly appreciate it.

The injustice committed against Tim Masters by the Fort Collins, Colorado Police Department and lead investigator James Broderick is a disgrace and a shameful blight that hangs over all police. Most outrageous is Officer Broderick's arrogance and refusal to be a professional to assume responsibility for this injustice that his pathetic unprofessional job caused. Broderick should be jailed and so should the two prosecutors who are now judges -- they should be removed from the bench and Broderick and the Fort Collins Police Department should face prosecution for committing this injustice.

The question that must be addressed is why shouldn't Broderick be held responsible for the fact that the REAL murderer of Peggy Hetterick has remained at large this entire time while an innocent man Broderick, the disgraceful cop that he is, railroaded to jail, remains free.

Thanks to CBS 48 Hours for putting a spotlight on this police mismanagement of their duties.

Please publish the names of the two former prosecutors who are now judges so the public can also know who they are and fight to have them removed from the bench. This is absolutely outrageous.

It only underscores the conflict today taking place over the Henry Gates arrest by Officer Crowley in Cambridge that was brought to the public by President Obama. This case wasn't about race. It is about a citizen's rights and the violations of a citizen's rights by police.

Comment in regard to Drawn to Murder episode. What if Broderick and Hammond were in cahoots and maybe that"s why he was not investigated to full extent or maybe Broderick just had personal vendetta against Tim Masters for some reason or it could just be that they just had to get somebody for the crime to try to make themselves not look bad in public eye.

It's many years later since those convictions and now there is DNA evidence. The possiblies of railroading the wrong person in the present age have gone down a lot. How can they do that unless they are totally corrupt from beginning to end?

On a technical note, nice dead pixels on the camera of one of the freelance shooters you've hired for this episode. For those that don't know what I'm talking about, they're the white dots you see on some of the shots, which are defects in the imaging block of the camera that was used. They show up more in nighttime shots. Very amateurish for a nationally broadcast program.

This will begin to sound like it's not connected to your remarks but it is. Keep reading. I have ADD and when diagnosed, removed myself from the juror pool. I knew that my ADD would keep me from being a good juror. If I can't pay attention, how can a draw the right conclusion? There are many ADDers that ARE on a jury, making wrong decisions because they can't keep the facts straight or missed some facts completely. You can bet that lawyers, prosecutors, judges, witnesses and defendants are all a percentage ADD. That is how people get wrongfully convicted and that is how the guilty get off.

I have always believed in the death penalty. I supported it wholeheartedly my entire life. Until Now. Seeing how many people are unjustly convicted and seeing how corrupt the system has become has truly scared me. People are railroaded and framed on a daily basis by the police depts. across our country. They no longer care about getting the right person. They just want the notch in their belts for getting a closed case. As a citizen of the United States of America I believe we have to right the wrongs that have been done these people and clean house on our Law enforcement and get rid of these corrupt individuals in our police depts and in the attorney generals offices. We need Citizen oversight commitee's and the internal affairs departments need more funds to investigate. If we don't get on this right away you could be next on their radar for a wrongful conviction.

It's time to take action about wrongful convictions. Over 230 DNA exonerations now, over 134 from death row -- just the tip of the iceberg. Experts estimate that over 100,000 innocent people are incarcerated in the US.
