In February, 1987, a woman named Peggy Hettrick was murdered in northern Colorado. She'd been mutilated and left in a field.

That morning, a young boy named Tim Masters passed through that field on his way to school.

Twelve years later, Tim Masters was convicted of Hettrick's murder, based on stories and drawings he had made as a teenager.

Blackstone's Equation tells the story of Tim's wrongful conviction using the people who were there at the beginning: prosecutors, defense attorneys, journalists, jurors, and Tim Masters himself.

It's a story about our criminal justice system, the pitfalls of criminal profiling, and the need, in our darkest of hours, to never, ever give up.

Blackstone's Equation has screened at the American Documentary Film Festival in Palm Springs, and is shown at law schools across the country. It was directed, edited, and scored by Nicholas Bernhard.
