There is a petition to sign, needs a 100,000 signatures by the 27th.
Commute the sentences of Dwight Lincoln Hammond Jr and Steven Dwight Hammond, both of Harney County Oregon.
Dwight and Steven Hammond were tried in Federal Court for arson on Federal Lands. The trial judge at sentencing felt the mandatory 5 year sentence was cruel and unusual and gave them lesser sentences. The Hammond’s served that sentence and went home. The Federal Prosecutor appealed that sentence and won in Appeals Court to re-sentence the Hammond’s to the Mandatory 5 years (with time served). The residents of Harney County believe that they have served enough time and are asking the President for a commute of sentence for the remainder of the Appeals Court Sentence. Other citizens of these United States, also believing the Hammond’s have served enough time, are also signing this petition.

Dwight and Steven Hammond were tried in Federal Court for arson on Federal Lands. The trial judge at sentencing felt the mandatory 5 year sentence was cruel and unusual and gave them lesser sentences. (the trial judge had the full background story of what, and how it happened.)
The Hammond’s served that sentence, - two years in prison - and were released. They returned to their homes.
The Federal Prosecutor appealed that sentence
and won in Appeals Court
to re-sentence the Hammond’s
to the Mandatory 5 years.
