Mm hmm. And their whole theory about matricide, right, is Tim's like so upset about his mother's death that it caused all of this. Clearly, they like know that he would be upset. They had like his mother's obituary reprinted like over and over. They would cut it out, put it in envelopes and then like leave those envelopes around for Tim to find.

And then when that didn't work in like the very first early days or whatever, come the one year anniversary of Peggy's murder, they concocted this scheme. Some might call it an operation. I say no.

It's a scheme. And a lot of the paper trail of this has been lost along the way, like so much in this case. But what is left behind is just, it's bizarre. So Fort Collins authorities basically reached out to the FBI around the one-year anniversary and was like, hey, we feel like we have this guy.

We can't prove that he's violent, but we feel like if we put him in the right situation, we can push him to be, and other people will see what we see. But... We're afraid that if we push him too far, like he might kill someone again. So we need you watching him. But if it goes too far, you have to pretend like this didn't happen. We didn't do this. You didn't do this.

Like we all had nothing to do with whatever it is he does. And the FBI is like, got it. And they're like, yeah, but also if he does nothing and we look dumb. Can't have that happen. Yeah. Like pretend it didn't happen. And they're like, got it. And obviously nothing happened. But it just shows you like the mind games they were playing with this, at the time, kid, child. Yes.

So this request for a new trial gets filed. The DNA stuff gets sent off. And even now, Tim is still not optimistic. Like everything that can go wrong for him has. Why would this be any different? Even when everyone around him is telling him they think it will be.

That good day was January 22nd, 2008. He was let out of prison. Charges were dropped. But crime junkies know that doesn't mean he's considered to be innocent. And the DA can refile charges if they want to. Well, they definitely don't want to. At some point, the DNA stuff that they had sent off comes back with a couple of, like, partial profiles. None of it matches Tim.

And the case that they had built, even the little bit of one they had, is, like, falling apart, right? Like, the people were hiding things. They were lying. Like, his rights were violated. So by June of 2011, Tim is fully exonerated. And he goes on to sue a lot of the people who helped put him in prison for so long, including Jim Broderick and Jolene Blair and Terry Gilmore.

Terry and Jolene were the prosecutors at the time, but by the time Tim is suing them, they were exonerated. And what I find so interesting is that in this time when Jim is being sued or even looked into, he's on paid leave. After two years, he ends up resigning. And even though two grand juries find him guilty of perjury, the charges get dropped.

And the judges, at least this is happening during an election year, they don't get reelected, but they don't get so much as a slap on the wrist. The other big win is for Tim is he gets to settle for about $10 million, which is great for him. I keep wondering, like, why is no one asking who else?
