For family, friends and citizens following the Tim Masters' case, they can all agree that this has been a longtime coming.  23 years later, with the arraignment of Fort Collins Police Lt. Jim Broderick, they say this is a step in seeking justice.
 
Ruth Craft is Timothy Masters aunt.  She stood outside the courthouse with two signs and buttons pinned to her sun visor and shirt protesting against the lead investigator who put her nephew away for 10 years.
 
"Justice is being done," Craft said.
 
Craft says she has stood by her nephew's side since the beginning, but always believed that Masters was truthful during the investigation of Peggy Hettrick's murder.
 
"I knew that he couldn't have done it.  I really did. I knew all along that he couldn't have done it," Craft said.
 
However, two years after Tim Masters' conviction was overturned, many questions have yet to be answered, especially for his aunt.
 
"I still ask why did you do it? Why would he put himself in that situation to do such a thing to an innocent person?"
 
 Now the only man who can answer those questions is facing trial.
 
"He's getting everything he deserves right now," Craft declared.
 
While the former investigator in the 1987 murder of Peggy Hettrick faces eight counts of perjury, Craft and a handful of protestors are demanding justice.
 
"It can happen to anybody out there and if these people get by with it, then it can happen to anybody."
 
A friend of Peggy Hettrick is spearheading the "Judicial Justice" committee.
 
"We put our trust in police officers.  We put our trust in law enforcement and district attorneys and judges," said Carol Davy.
 
Davy and others are supporting the charges against Broderick, as well as trying to convince voters to remove the former prosecutors and now Larimer District Judges Jolene Blair and Terry Gilmore from the bench.
 
"It is so full of corruption, it would make your skin crawl," Davy said.
 
Yet, others passing by say they believe that Broderick is not at fault.
 
"I don't honestly think, in his heart, he ever meant any wrongdoing or did it for the glory or anything," said Norma Boyd who said she worked with Broderick's wife and met Broderick several times.
 
However, with decades of grief, sorrow and unknowns, Ruth and the others march on, hoping that truth will be told.
 
"Prayers do to get answered," Craft said.
