United States v. Marvin Hamilton
U.S. District Court, Northern District of Alabama
Case No: CR-97-416-JJJ-PWG
SUMMARY
Summary: The main issue for probation revocation was Hamilton’s failure to pay his fine of $15,000. During Hamilton’s sentencing hearing in 1997, Judge Hancock stated that if Hamilton could not pay the fine, the court would readdress the issue at a later date. I was able to subpoena the 1997 Sentencing Transcript from archives as evidence to show the court its earlier remarks. The court dismissed the fine against Hamilton for his lack of ability to pay. Hamilton was revoked for other issues.
Disposition: $15,000 fine dismissed. Probation revoked for other issues.
