GRANT CLEMENCY TO Dwight Lincoln Hammond Jr. and his son, Steven Dwight Hammond The Oregon Ranchers

On January 4, 2013, Dwight and Steven reported to prison. They fulfilled their sentences, (Dwight 3 months, Steven 12 months). Dwight was released in March 2013 and Steven, January 2014.
Sometime in June 2014, Rhonda Karges, Field Manager for the BLM, and her husband Chad Karges, Refuge Manager for the Malheur Wildlife Refuge (which surrounds the Hammond ranch), along with attorney Frank Papagni exemplified further vindictive behavior by filing an appeal with the 9th District Federal Court seeking Dwight’s and Steven’s return to federal prison for the entire 5 years.*
In October 2015, the 9th District Court “re-sentenced” Dwight and Steven, requiring them to return to prison for several more years. they turned themselves in on Jan 4 2016 and are in Federal custody
