Ex-Ramsey investigator settles with Boulder for 10000
Larry Mason, once investigated in the Jon Benet Ramsey case, reaches a 10000 settlement with the city of Boulder. He agrees not to sue over alleged misconduct by Cmdr John Eller who was removed as lead investigator following claims of leaked information. The deal includes no admission of guilt by either side. The AMA considers endorsing resident collective bargaining amid debate over work hours and costs to patients. A separate case saw Mary Franks plead guilty to attempted rape and kidnapping in a sexual assault involving her son-in-law, with sentencing expected in the two to eight year range on each count.
