The true story is as follows. Mr. Hammond is now sitting at home as the courts did grant his writ of Habeas Corpus . The conviction for theft was not overturned and Mr. Hammond was ordered to two years probation.So I guess he is sitting at home. Reporting to his probation officer and making restitution.

It’s not at all over. The writ was granted due to “an unconstitutional court ruling” that was written and sought by the replacement DA (so bad that she had to be appointed and NOT elected as a means of showing how popular she is) who is every bit as involved in crime and corruption as her drug using and dealing predecessor.
She’ll end up in a cell with Rick Roach and YOU as cell-mates. That is the reason she’s been openly admitting (at her weekly poker game) that she “really knows Mr. Hammond isn’t guilty of any crime but, to back-off now is to risk further investigation of the office of the district attorney and that would be really embarrassing.”
People like her (and YOU) are the same kind of people our troops are fighting against in Iraq. Same morals, same values. Maybe Bush needs to send in troops to liberate texas?
